Top Gun has been exciting audiences for almost 40 years, and now those fans can recreate their favorite moment from the movie as though they were Maverick or Goose.
Hot Wheels is releasing a set dedicated to the film in honor of the milestone. According to Mattel Creation, “They can recreate the famous inverted flight combat scene. Locked in and ready to rock, this authentic display showcases Maverick and Goose expertly performing the “impossible” as they invert their F-14 Tomcat over an enemy “MiG-28” (behind-the-scenes movie trivia – there’s no such fighter jet, it was actually a repainted F-5 Tiger). The wings move on our F-14, authentically replicating the real jet’s swing-wing design. Aviators, don’t just watch the birdie – become one of the elite and grab this 40th anniversary tribute collectible for yourself.”
The limited-edition Hot Wheels Top Gun 40th Anniversary Set will be available on July 23rd. So, if you have the need for speed, don’t act slowly if you want this set, or you will be Iced out.
Ricky Gervais is a cat dad, even though he works a lot with dogs. However, he has a new show on Netflix that will make his master happy.
What is it? Alley Cats is an adult animated sitcom created by and starring the multi-award-winning Gervais. The series follows the trials and tribulations of a group of feral British cats from all walks of society, who seek companionship while ruminating on everyday life. From the funny to the absurd, the series is packed with Gervais’ signature style of heart and social commentary that audiences have come to expect.
I am sure his late cat, Ollie, and foster fail, Pickle, influenced the characters.
If my cat was going to trust anyone to make an animated show correctly, it would be Gervais. So, we will be watching all six episodes when they drop on August 7th.
I wonder why he didn’t do nine. It seems like that would be the purrfect number of episodes.
CBS cancelled Stephen Colbert’s The Late Show, and with that, they decided to back away from late night as a whole. So, they let Byron Allen buy the two-hour block for his shows, Comics Unleashed and Funny You Should Ask.
However, ratings for his shows are not funny. According to Late Nighter, during the week of June 8th, Jimmy Kimmel Live had 3.07 million viewers. While the two daily episodes of Comics Unleashed averaged around 650,000 viewers.
Translation: Kimmel was watched by almost five times more viewers than Allen.
Therefore, it is a failure not only for Allen but also for the CBS affiliates, who are losing viewers to their 11 O’clock news because barely anyone is tuning in to the show that follows their news broadcasts.
When it comes to Funny You Should Ask, Late Night with Seth Meyers is getting double the audience.
Once again proving that everything donald trump touches turns into shit. And what he doesn’t touch, thrives. Well, unless it is algae because that thrives under him, as does our national debt.
Yesterday was Father’s Day, and I made meme cards for the fathers in my life. It was a photo of Maury Povich saying, “Happy Father’s Day! You are the father!”
I thought that was pretty clever, but Mark Hamill has me beat.
Luke Skywalker shared a photo of his father, Darth Vader, and said, “Happy Father’s Day!” Pretty brilliant!
I was thinking of doing something with Anakin Skywalker, but I already got my frother a shirt with Vader’s face that reads, “I am your father.” So I was like, I need to try something different. But kudos to Hamill for going there.
