Could You Survive the Movies? Season 2 Episodes

Episode 1

Could You Survive TOP GUN?

Cocky Science Aviator Jake Roper (that's me!) feels the NEED FOR SPEED as he struggles to overcome his arrogance and work as a team to take down the enemy while also flying head on into the deceptively complex concepts behind the physics of flight.

Shhhhh - Years after an alien invasion, Jake quietly ekes out a meager existence while avoiding the sound-sensitive alien race that's hunting him.
