The Breakdown of 'Top Gun', 'The Half of It', 'Blow the Man Down' and Remembering Jerry Stiller and Fred Willard

The Movie Breakdown is ready to launch another week with three movie reviews, including the massive 1980s box-office hit and cultural phenomenon, Top Gun. We also discuss two streaming originals in the dark comedic thriller Blow the Man Down and the teen romantic comedy, The Half of It. After the reviews, we pay tribute to two comedy legends in Jerry Stiller and Fred Willard. We had a blast recording this week's episode and if you do love it, please spread the word on social media.

We also want to thank great artist and even better friend David Wierzbicki who did the incredible Jerry Stiller illustration. You can see more of his amazing artwork on his Instagram and Facebook pages.

Reminder that you can subscribe either to The Movie Breakdown feed (a subscription link is at the top right hand of this site) or on iTunes (if you enjoy the show, please help us by giving us a five star review).
