Episode notes

Their egos writing cheques that their bodies can't cash, Rob and Duncan are joined by Top Gun superfan Marina Hyde to mark the 40th anniversary of the greatest film about naval aviators ever made. It's the movie that confirmed the status of Tom Cruise as a star, and also as a man who has no chemistry with his female co-leads. Is that because his real sparks were with Val Kilmer? Are Anthony Edwards and Meg Ryan the secret sauce?


Plus Marina takes us through the five hottest men in the film. You may be surprised by who isn't in there.


Next week: to mark the World Cup, we're going to Escape To Victory (again).
