There’s no shortage of YouTubers with opinions on movies, books, video games, and pop culture in general. Like most of the internet, it seems the more extreme the opinion, the more attention it garners.
But if you’re looking for some good old fashioned fact-based movie commentary – the kind of stuff you can sink your cinephile teeth into – you can’t do much better than Oliver Harper.
He’s got a ton of reviews and some interviews and other assorted stuff, but I’m partial to his retrospectives. And withTop Gun: Maverick recently joining the billion dollar club, Harper’s retrospective on Tony Scott’s Top Gun seems like a no-brainer.
Check out the video and check out Harper’s channel for a ton of other videos you might like as well.
What did you think? Did you learn anything new about Top Gun? Do you like Harper’s straightforward style or do you prefer your commentary to be more opinionated?
