As FlixChatter's horror correspondent, you might assume my favorite season is fall...and you'd be right. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy summer!

FlixChatter Review – TOP GUN: Maverick (2022)
After more than three decades, Maverick's got to fly once again. You'd think that when a movie grosses more than $350 Mil at the box office (on a mere $15 Mil budget no less), we'd have a franchise by now.
