The year is 1986. Talk to me, Gus.

And Amy, let me just tell you something. You take my breath away.

Oh, Paul, I feel the need for speed.

You know what? If you feel the need for speed, then definitely get on the highway to the danger zone.

I am not leaving my wingman.

Shirts off volleyball's grabbed lets play with some boys.

The movie Top Gun.

Hello, everyone and welcome to Unspooled.

I am Amy Nicholson. And I am Paul Shear and this is the podcast where we are looking to find the hundred best movies ever made.

We are going down different alleyways. We are finding different genres, finding hidden gems that you may not have known about.

But now have become your favorite film. But this week we're doing something a little bit different.

Because I think Amy, you and I love Legacy sequels. I know for you, you're like get that cast back together after 40 years.

Let's see what they can do. Can we recreate the magic? So we're doing this episode for you.

Oh, that's so kind. And I just can't wait to be watching Downton Abbey movies in 2052.

Well, Downton Abbey is a weird one because, you know, I feel like in 2052, they'll be in now.

Right? Downton Abbey would be like, we would be caught up at that point.

Be 2020, 2052, right? Maybe we would probably be about the Mad Men era. It started in 2010 with the singing of the Titanic 1912.

Right now they are just entering the end of the 1920s. The movie takes place. The new would write at the end of the 1920s.

It's about a silent film crew coming to Downton Abbey and discovering sound. It's basically they rip off the entire plot of singing in the rain.

So at this pace, I think they'll be like Mad Men era in 2050.

Ooh, I like it. Cross over potential. I think it could be really good. You know, before we talk about today's film, Top Gun,

which has its own legacy sequel reboot. I don't know. I mean, it seems like a straight up sequel. You've seen Maverick at this point.
