Top Gun Maverick might just be the movie of the year for me. A sequel that delivers as much as it does after 30+ years, insane.

Money in pre-Revolution American Colonies was a fascinating mess. New York money. Pennsylvania money. Massachusetts money!
… and it’s sort of amazing that Top Gun: Maverick *still* hasn’t released.
