In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Oh yeah!
It has to be the longest wait I ever experienced for a movie, but it will definitely be worth it.

It looks like the exact same film.
I'm in.
I'm in.
I watched this trailer, inverted.
Day 1.
Day 1.
I feel the need ... The need for speed
Going to fly back to the UK and watch this on the imax in London. Sod subtitles. Been waiting for this since I was about 5 years old.
IMAX will be a must.
The trailer for this plays every time I go to Manny IMAX at the printworks and it still says 2020 on it... Would it really kill them to update one little bit of copy?
Looks epic though.

They're basically demanding you see this on the biggest screen possible...
And that's exactly what I'll be doing.

Original trailer with some BTS…
Can't wait to see this on the big screen. Hopefully it will be every bit as cheesy as the first one.
The fact that Tom Cruise (along with the rest of the cast) is literally in one of those jets for real is probably enough to make it worth a watch. Mind blowing stuff. It's not obvious to me from the clips but is Tom Cruise actually FLYING one of them? Edit: He does fly a P51, but apparently the USN wouldn't let him fly a real F-18 super hornet. Still pretty cool, the guy might be a certified lunatic but he's probably the most committed actor Hollywood has to realism. Badass.
Think you’re right. Sure I read he was specifically banned from getting clearance to fly an F-18.
The videos look like he's actually flying one which is surprising. $70million worth of jet. Presumably the cockpit selfie camera (for want of a better word) will be a P-51 made to look like an F-18 cockpit as opposed to actual cockpit, but even with that... well. I am so glad the Super Hornet is getting it's day in the sun, it was every bit as cool to me as the F-14 was as a nerdy military planespotter kid growing up

Not surprising he wasn’t given clearance. Too many things to go wrong for even an experience punter in the drivers seat. Probably requires a year or so of fighter training. I’d love to hear Hazard Lee or the likes comments on how hard it would be for him to fly.
There are those jets they general public can buy. Check out the Rio Nevada air race. I dont think they have burner.
This is gonna be a film of the millennium contender.

I'm looking forward to it but I'm disappointed Michael Ironside won't be back.
Quit teasing me
I’m so ready for this.

I would advise against it.
I'll literally join Scientology if both Top Gun and Mission Impossible are amazing.
Wot? The original is brilliant.
Not if you’re watching it without nostalgia goggles.
Why else would one be watching it?
Can’t wait to see Kelly McGillis again, what a hottie she was.
Not in Maverick.
Wow that is a depressing thought for the year ahead.
If the best film of the year and Oscar winner as well is the over twenty years later sequel to a bland popcorn effort like Top Gun then Hollywood needs to be wiped out
OMG why would you not, it is the perfect film
Seen her lately?
Film of the year? I've heard it's a film of the millennium(so far) contender...
