Edge of Tomorrow (2014): 1 line

  1. career (career) · through Top Gun: Maverick (2022), which they acted in: Edge of Tomorrow ⇒ Top Gun: Maverick (the host's read). Edge cracked a new era of Cruise; Ethan Hunt and Maverick run on what he learned here.

Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018): 1 line

  1. unmapped (enabling success) · through Top Gun: Maverick (2022), which they acted in: Mission: Impossible – Fallout ⇒ Top Gun: Maverick (the host's read). Fallout's success is what lets Cruise do Top Gun: Maverick.
    “he's not in a position to do what he's doing now with Top Gun 2.”
    The Big Picture · The Tom Cruise Hall of Fame · 1:35:58 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)

Stephen King: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Running Man, which they acted in: Stephen King ⇒ The Running Man (the host's read). The novel takes place in 2025 and bakes in deep fakes and reality TV blood lust.

The Color of Money (1986): 1 line

  1. lineage (legacy-sequel heirs) · through Top Gun: Maverick (2022), which they acted in: The Color of Money ⇒ Top Gun: Maverick (the host's read). Gap-based legacy sequels like Top Gun Maverick, Tron Legacy and Blade Runner follow the template Color of Money invented, though in 1986 sequels were derided.
    “now we get more and more like your your Tron legacies and your Top Gun Mavericks, where it's just casually... 37, 40 years later”

Top Gun (1986): 1 line

  1. lineage (sequel verdict) · through Top Gun: Maverick (2022), which they acted in: Top Gun ⇒ Top Gun: Maverick (the host's read). Chris says the sequel delivered and is better than the first, and Amanda agrees.
