The Mikey Show hosts, including Mikey, Eddie, Rob, Sean, Matt, Wolfman, and Hollywood, along with guests like B-Dub and Ashley, host a live, irreverent watch-along of Top Gun. Mikey opens by candidly discussing his past DUI and his inability to drive due to seizures, contrasting it with a "Boston Rob" who is accountable. The show then transitions to the main event: syncing Top Gun with their audience, which takes two attempts. Throughout the film, the commentary is dominated by continuous, often crude, gay jokes, observations on phallic imagery, and the perceived homoeroticism of the male characters, particularly during the iconic volleyball scene and character introductions like Iceman and Slider. They also make fun of Tom Cruise, Scientology, and the film's San Diego setting, while Eddie spoils Goose's death and B-Dub shares his favorite movie line.
