The Morning Watch: Top Gun: Maverick's Hypersonic Flight, Millie Bobby Brown Goes Up To Eleven On Hot Ones & More

(The Morning Watch is a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web. They could be video essays, fan-made productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows.)

In this edition, go hypersonic with a scene breakdown from the box office chart-topping "Top Gun: Maverick" with Tom Cruise. Plus, see how "Stranger Things" star Millie Bobby Brown handles some of the spiciest wings on the planet in a new edition of "Hot Ones." And finally, find out about all the stand-up specials that are coming from the recent Netflix is a Joke comedy festival in Los Angeles. 

First up, in a new edition of "Anatomy of a Scene" from The New York Times, director Joseph Kosinski breaks down the opening scene from "Top Gun: Maverick," which finds Tom Cruise reaching dangerous speeds in an experimental aircraft. That takeoff sequence? It had to be performed in real life by one of the few Navy pilots cleared to fly what is called a low-altitude transition maneuver. The crew only had one shot at getting it right because that little moment would destroy a piece of the film's set with a pressure wave. Wow!

Next, we've seen Millie Bobby Brown deal with plenty of monstrous entities from the Upside Down in Netflix's hit series "Stranger Things." But how can she handle some hot wings and interview questions in a new episode of "Hot Ones" with Sean Evans? Listen as the actress discusses her favorite on-set snack, ranks celebrity eyewear, and talks about doing a "hot lap" with Lewis Hamilton. Plus, one of her "Stranger Things" co-stars makes a surprise appearance, so enjoy!
