On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, with Top Gun: Maverick taking over movie theaters worldwide, we decided to look back at the original for inspiration and devote our topic for the week to 80s movie soundtracks! Top Gun, Dirty Dancing, Purple Rain, The Blues Brothers, the list goes on and on and on. What was your favorite soundtrack from the 80s era?

Also on this episode, we dive deep into Top Gun: Maverick with our spoiler review, as well as Stranger Things Season 4 Volume 1. What did Tom Cruise and company get right and wrong with their nostalgia laden sequel, and what the hell is happening in the Upside Down?
