This month Monica and Nicole watched Top Gun Maverick, the 2022 sequel to the 1986 movie. Both star Tom Cruise (who is insane), as a naval aviator at a special school for special pilots. The sequel manages to live up to the thrills of the first movie, with fancy flying, shirtlessness on a beach, men in their feelings, American military propaganda, wild stunts, and absolutely no subtly or exploration of things that the movie doesn't care about. We had a blast. Monica knit White Frost by Babette Ulmer and Nicole spun on a spindle.
Also even if you don't have any plans to watch the movie, the Ringer article on Tom Cruise putting the new actors through a "flight training gauntlet" is extremely worth the read.
