S2E1: This is Spinal Tap (1984)


Listen Later

In order to begin our newest season of the podcast, we gotta turn this thing up to 11.

Welcome to Lights, Camera, Remake, the podcast constantly on the search for originality, or at least a reason for all the remakes. It's also a podcast where a song about butts may have broken one of the podcasters and the other has strong feelings about brown M&Ms.

This time, we look at the mockumentary/rockumentary about 80s rockers Spinal Tap on their comeback tour. And next episode, we’ll look at the 2025 follow-up: Spinal Tap II: The End Continues.

This is Spinal Tap (1984)

IMDB Description: 

Spinal Tap, one of England's loudest bands, is chronicled by film director Marty DiBergi on what proves to be a fateful tour.

***

On each episode we look at remakes, sequels and more to answer the age old question “Has Hollywood run out of ideas?”
