“Maverick” Gaga Factor

Who suspected until last week’s big Cinemacon screening that Top Gun: Maverick would turn out to be a heart movie? That it may (according to The Ankler’s Jeff Sneider) leave Joe and Jane Popcorn on the verge of choking up? Who had an inkling?

Straight from Lady Gaga: “When I wrote this song for Top Gun: Maverick, I didn’t even realize the multiple layers it spanned across the film’s heart, my own psyche, and the nature of the world we’ve been living in.”

First HE reaction to song title: “Wouldn’t holding someone’s hand get in the way if you’re doing loop-dee-loops from inside the cockpit of an F-18?”
