A24 On The Rocks

This Is Spinal Tap (1984) Film Review


Listen Later

For this week's A24 vibe discussion, the A24 Rocks crew invite on music store owner Kyle Kanon and turn the volume up to 11 for the classic rock mockumentary "This Is Spinal Tap" starring Christopher Guest and Michael McKean. With Spinal Tap II: The End Continues coming out soon, these film reviewers revisit what made the original so innovative and what other comedies it inspired. What filmmaking techniques made rockstars like Ozzy Osborne believe this was a real documentary and not a mockumentary? What is Spinal Tap satirizing in the music world? And will the sequel be worth it? Caution: movie spoilers.
