VHS Rewind’s review of “This is Spinal Tap,” which was released on March 2, 1984, praised the music and the director’s incredible job. They raved about the film’s soundtrack, which featured original songs performed by the fictional rock band Spinal Tap. The songs were not only hilarious, but also impressively catchy, and the reviewers praised the band’s talent and the quality of the music. They also lauded the film’s satirical take on the rock and roll lifestyle, which poked fun at the excesses and absurdities of the genre.

They were also impressed with the direction of the film, which was helmed by Rob Reiner. They noted that Reiner’s background in comedy and his previous work as an actor and director allowed him to expertly balance the film’s humor and heart. The film’s mockumentary style, which presented Spinal Tap as a real band with real problems, was also praised for its authenticity and attention to detail. Hasler and Jeacoma commented on how the film was able to capture the spirit of the rock and roll world, while still managing to be a hilarious and entertaining satire.

Overall, VHS Rewind’s review of “This is Spinal Tap” was incredibly positive, and it reflected the film’s enduring legacy as a cult classic and a seminal work of comedy. The film has since gone on to influence countless other mockumentaries and rock and roll satires, and it continues to be celebrated for its hilarious performances, memorable music, and expert direction.

It is that time of the year when we all gather with family and friends to give thanks…for the madness that is the 1982 NBC Thanksgiving Day Parade telecast. VHS Rewind is proud to serve our listeners with a Thanksgiving feast full of all the fixins (out of tune marching bands, butter-fingered baton twirlers, falling dancers, out of control balloons threatening innocent bystanders, really bad lip-synching from some big-name (well, in 1982) performers (some of whom are coked out of their minds), some amazing coats made of the most exotic animals worn by most everyone on-camera and THE MOST BIZARRE SEGMENT IN A THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE IN TV HISTORY – Uncle Miltie (and his enormous schlong, if Gilbert Gottfried is to be believed) in a dress, a very eager 12 year old Ricky Schroeder as Ms Uncle Miltie’s suitor, pedophilia…how this got past the network censors, we will never know). And then, the main course: the arrogant, pompous, humorless, full-of-himself turkey that is Bryant Gumbel. Listen as Mark and Christopher hilariously carve up Gobble Gobble Gumbel and his soul-sucking, fun-deadening parade commentary and barely disguised disdain for co-host (cute-as-a-button) Sarah Purcell and every costumed character he is forced to talk to during the telecast. Please join us for this very special holiday episode and stuff yourself silly with (we hope) laughter and good times.

Back from the Dead: the listener-demanded return of VHS Rewind’s Super Spooky Halloween Music Episode! And we have pulled out all the stops to make this episode priceless…or, rather, Price-full. We have none other than Vincent Price acting as our master (monster?) of ceremonies, providing us with a history of Halloween, introducing some of the tunes during the show(!), even singing a song himself(!!) and providing a glimpse into horror movies(!!!). And, of course, the episode featuress VHS Rewinds’s patented blend of the most intriguing music you quite possibly have not heard before: Sometimes Scary and spooky, sometimes danceable and always downright listenable – we hope you give this episode a listen during this Halloween season as you carve those pumpkins, make those costumes or wait for trick-or-treaters to come to take your candy. VHS Rewind hopes you all have a Happy and Safe Halloween!
