Today's guest mellows me out while also thinking about new revenue streams. Welcome David Motamed from The Royal Arctic Institute to the show. Mo, as his friends call him, has a long career in music mixed with a long career as a liver specialist; in medicine, not Silence of the Lambs kinda stuff.He started playing bass with his long-time friend and collaborator Lyle Hysen and wound up with him in the band Das Damen. He's also played in Cell and with Tim Foljahn in Two Dollar Guitar. Through these bands he was also able to play with other artists like Arthur Lee and Townes Van Zandt. While playing music, he also decided he needed to have a “real job” so he studied medicine and is now a liver specialist at Mount Sinai hospital! He stepped away from music for a while to work and raise his family. But he couldn't stay away; not if Lyle had anything to do with it. So, Mo is the bassist for the band The Royal Arctic Institute, who have recently released a new album, which is self-titled just to make things easier on me. Non-scientific tests have shown that their music reduces (my) road rage by 108%. So pick it up on bandcamp; there are physical copied available. Keep an eye on nice restaurants in your area because they will probably be playing somewhere close by on upcoming tours. Check out theroyalarctic.com for info and links.

We watched Spinal Tap. Was it good? Does it stand up? Are we going to see the second? Also we play a game where we guess if a movie description is a documentary or a mockumentary.
Or 42 minutes with Chris Hewitt and Nick de Semlyen. Which would you prefer? Don't answer that. Anyway, that's what you've got with the latest episode of The Shameless Plug, as Chris and Nick sit down to talk about Nick's extraordinary adventures in New Zealand, shadowing James Cameron for two days as he put the finishing touches to this month's cover movie, Avatar: Fire & Ash. Elsewhere, our friends and neighbours talk about some of the other highlights from the September 2025 issue, including Chris' interview with Jeremy Renner, and Alex Godfrey's epic Zoom sit-down with Spinal Tap. Yes, actual Spinal Tap. It's all happening. For those tales, and more from behind the scenes of the world's biggest movie magazine, press play. And if you haven't picked up your copy yet, there's still time in good, evil and virtual newsagents wherever you are. Enjoy.

The August heat hasn't stopped an incredible wave of new music from washing over us this month. From jazz-soul fusion to K-pop dance anthems, our final summer mix of 2025 captures the season's last vibrant moments.John Batiste opens our collection with "Big Money," showcasing his extraordinary talent for blending genres while maintaining that distinctive New Orleans soul. Chance the Rapper brings his signature wordplay to "Tree," collaborating with Lil Wayne and Smino for a track that's as clever as it is catchy.The long-awaited return of Clipse brings "E.B.I.T.D.A" to our mix, reuniting Pusha T and Malice under Pharrell Williams' production. Their first album since 2009 proves that quality always trumps quantity.

Eli Young Band explores the willingness to do anything for a partner in "All Good With Me," while AJR captures commitment anxiety with their characteristic honesty in "Betty." Chappell Roan delivers perhaps the most emotionally resonant track with "The Subway," chronicling that strange post-breakup journey when someone transitions from being your world to just another stranger passing by.Unexpected collaborations bring delightful surprises, including Spinal Tap teaming up with Elton John for an updated "Stonehenge" ahead of their sequel film.

Every great concert starts with an opening band, and ours is a folk trio that if you squint just the right way, you might think they look like the guys in Spinal Tap. Oh but they're so different. So so different. A Mighty Wind is blowin', and by the end we're all going to be blown by it. Wait, no.

"What happens when you're trying to honor a loved one with Frank Sinatra… and a fiber supplement ad crashes the moment?"In this unforgettable and side-splitting episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into one of the most bizarre and hilarious stories you'll hear all week: a solemn ash-spreading ceremony on a lake in Seattle, set to the emotional strains of Sinatra—until a Spotify ad for colon cleansing hijacks the moment.From there, the crew spirals into a laugh-out-loud discussion about the dangers of free Spotify, Uber rides scored by Sinatra, and the timeless genius of Spinal Tap. KT's joke about wanting his ashes thrown into Jeff Bridges' beard might just be the funniest thing you'll hear today.

Send us a textWe don't go to 11 here, but we come close. This week were looking back at the glorious mockumentary Spinal Tap from 1984. One of the greatest rock movies ever made was never really appreciated in its time (just like us). We all reveled in the pure, unadulterated hedonism of metal in the 80s and barely lived to tell the tale. That's why our music was so good, it could potentially kill us. But hey, we're sure Fallout Boy is dangerous nowadays too.Drunk on nostalgia, were saving the best to the end with a wrap of of our favorite metal bands of all time. Spoiler alert: there's not a single band on here formed after 1984, just like it should be.

It's a jammed-packed episode of the non-award-winning Talkin' Rock podcast. The legendary Steve Jones is up first to discuss his upcoming tour. He told me how much he loves touring with this band. We talked about the passing of Ozzy Osbourne, are there any "rock stars" left, and lots more. Really cool to talk with him for the first time. Mr. Big's Eric Martin is next. Yes, he has an Ozzy story also from decades ago. We discussed his vocal idols, the final Mr. Big tour, and more. I love talking to Eric. He's so easy going. Eric has two Michigan shows coming up in Paw Paw on August 7th, and Ludington on August 8th. Mark Kendall from Great White wraps up this episode. He told me about getting stranded here in Michigan last week—a true Spinal Tap moment. Yes, we also discussed the upcoming part 2 of that classic movie. Mark also told me about the passing of Jack Russell. He said he and Jack had never gotten in an argument. He went into depth about what he thought was under Jack's addiction., It was truly a touching, heartfelt moment as Mark talked about addiction. Mark and the band are playing the Motor City Casino Soundboard on August 7th with Slaughter.

Today's guest is the definition of commitment. Please welcome Lemoyne Alexander to the show. Lemoyne really had no choice BUT to go into show business. His dad was a session drummer for Chess Records and started a family band starring Lemoyne and his siblings, even though he was way more into martial arts.The story of that band is filled with all kinds of changes, including a Peter Brady-like vocal problem that changed the dynamic of the band. But even though he had some music make the charts, he really hit his stride when he began producing rap artists. He talks about some of the amazing people he's worked with as well as some of the, let's say, infamous. But Lemoyne experienced a horrible tragedy that made him leave the rap world behind, shunning offers from people like Jay-Z and Beyonce to follow his muse. He talks about his first rock band St8 Of Grace and how that eventually just became a solo project. He's released a few singles that have just EXPLODED all over TikTok and other platforms. He talks about how that feels and how it changed his plans for his latest album called Alone. Follow him on social media. Check out welemoynealexander.com for tons of music and merch. Follow us @PerformanceAnx. Get our merch at performanceanx.threadless.com. Send dollars to ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety.

I just may, whaddya say? Comic-Con came and went this year, and maybe because the MCU and DCU were so muted, but there were still some good announcements. Xbox says game pass revenue is up, so is it profitable? Wolfenstein is heading to TV, and EA says no to $80. Air Bud is returning and I have serious questions, South Park takes time in its return, Star Trek goes all in on Comic Con, plus reviews of Happy Gilmore 2 and Fantastic Four!

Say hello to this week's Legend Rob Reiner -- director, actor, writer, producer, activist and all-around mensch. Son of comedy legend Carl Reiner, Rob found his own path in Hollywood first as a writer for the Smothers Brothers, then with a breakout role in All in the Family, then as a movie director and actor. Rob practically invented the "mockumentary" format in the 1980s with This Is Spinal Tap (and boy are we eager for the sequel). His run of directorial credits in the 1980s is a murderer's row of classics and his periodic on-screen appearances are always welcome. And Rob still has no problem speaking his mind! As always, find extended clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Rob? As we have all recently learned again the crew at South Park has no boundaries on their satire so when Rob popped up as an antismoking activist the South Park crew was there. Ouch! https://youtu.be/VvpK998H6Kk?si=1dsnRgFfKG-cR9Up All in the Family was a stunning departure from typical sitcom fare when it debuted in 1971 and the full volume battles between Rob's uber-liberal Michael Stivic and his bigoted father-in-law Archie Bunker (played by Carroll O'Connor) were a highlight. https://youtu.be/7toc7JDoFPk?si=RSS05fOj5Ohqrh2_ This is Spinal Tap was a cult classic from the start, one of the first "mockumentary" films of that era. A sequel is about to come out (over 40 years later!) and fans are salivating. Here's a short clip of one of the classic bits from the original.https://youtu.be/uMSV4OteqBE?si=_C8dkCvCrYrbK1iN Rob doesn't appear on camera that often but when he does it's a gem such as this clip from Sleepless in Seattle in which Rob explains to Tom Hanks the realities of dating in the 1990s.https://youtu.be/CVwwYxZzlSM?si=kVCQFe1JlKY9GoUI

Music person Justice Hill ("Cooler by the Lake") joins Andy & Steph to talk about 1984's classic mockumentary, "This Is Spinal Tap"! The gang talks about their journey with Christopher Guest and all the rest, how Rob Reiner came to be involved, and why Andy just doesn't trust Harry Shearer. Steph asks if Christopher Guest's butt is real! Andy ripped a scene for this movie for a mix CD! And Justice tells us why the butt on the cover of his record could never be a "Sniff the Glove" situation. But hey, enough of my yakkin'. What do ya say? Let's boogie!

Strap into the time machine and set the dial for July 1986, a time when Top Gun ruled the box office, synthesizers ruled the airwaves, and Kenny Loggins ruled… something. In this episode, Milt and Dave wade knee-deep through the Billboard Top 10 from a summer that gave us everything from Loggins' “Danger Zone” (still trying to make aviator sunglasses cool) to Simply Red's “Holding Back the Years” (still holding back… the energy). Expect the usual: unsolicited nostalgia, suspiciously convenient personal stories, and yes, Milt somehow manages to rhyme “Spinal Tap” with “Trader Joe's nap.” Don't ask. Highlights include: A passionate defense of Janet Jackson's “Nasty,” because someone had to. A soul-searching breakdown of Billy Ocean's “There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry),” which succeeds. It does indeed break down. Two grown men pretending to know the difference between Howard Jones and Howard Johnson. And the moment Peter Gabriel's “Sledgehammer” rolls in and flattens the competition like, well, a sledgehammer. Plus: Johnny-themed trivia (because there are apparently way more songs about guys named Johnny than anyone needed), some light shade thrown at the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and a very necessary refreshing of the chart — where Dave and Milt save the Top 10 from itself by swapping in some ‘80s underdogs. Topics 00:00 - Banter: Naps, snacks, and fake bands (aka our wheelhouse) 10:47 - Listener mail, podcast gripes, and people who claim to like our show 20:18 - Blues-rock? In this economy? A look at the Fabulous Thunderbirds 37:59 - The mandatory Howard Jones detour, because optimism was a thing once 45:43 - “Danger Zone” drops in on a fighter jet and a synth budget 57:23 - Peter Gabriel brings the big weird with “Sledgehammer” 01:07:30 - “Who's Johnny?” is asked, and not answered 01:14:59 - All-Johnny trivia. Johnny dangerously. Johnny repetitively. 01:26:51 - Janet Jackson says “No” like only she can 01:35:12 - Billy Ocean does that thing where he makes us cry on purpose 01:43:45 - Genesis makes a surprise cameo because, of course 01:59:18 - A tearful goodbye with Simply Red and his emotional rollercoaster

Welcome back ragers to the best movie review podcast on the planet. The rage rolls on from the Film Rage Studio. This week the Film Rage Crew went to the seventh installment of the Jurassic franchise. This time Scarlett Johansen is battling dinosaurs. Then they were treated to the surprise of the weekend, the Canadian action flick 40 Acres where Danielle Deadwyler continues to impress. And then they watched the 41st Anniversary edition of This is Spinal Tap. Did the boys enjoy it as much as the first two dozen times they saw it? Then finally Jim and Bryce were forced to watch Chuck Norris and a dog in a movie that is for nobody and leaves the boys wondering, how did this thing even get greenlit in the first place?

Ever wondered what happens when comedy meets rock music in perfect harmony? Join us as we break format to celebrate This Is Spinal Tap's brilliant soundtrack – an album that walks the razor-thin line between parody and genuine musical accomplishment.Fresh from seeing the 1984 cult classic on the big screen, we couldn't resist diving into these tracks that somehow manage to be both ridiculous and legitimately good. From the pompous prog-rock excesses of "Rock and Roll Creation" to the triple-bass absurdity of "Big Bottom," each song perfectly captures the essence of 70s and 80s rock while mercilessly mocking its worst tendencies.What makes these songs so special isn't just their hilarious lyrics about sex farms and tiny Stonehenge monuments – it's how musically competent they are. We hear echoes of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, The Who, and Rush throughout the album, all filtered through a lens of satire that somehow enhances rather than diminishes the music. The double entendres may be juvenile, but the musicianship is anything but.As we eagerly await Spinal Tap 2 (coming September 2025), join us in ranking our favorite tracks from the original soundtrack. Which song goes to eleven? Will it be the mandolin-infused "Stonehenge," the classical-meets-heavy-metal "Heavy Duty," or perhaps the hilariously patriotic "America" with its references to the Brady Bunch and apple pie? Listen now to find out which tracks deserve to be turned up to eleven and which belong in the "Where Are They Now?" file.Send us a textSupport the show
It's an explosive episode of the Breakfast All Day podcast for you on this Fourth of July holiday. We begin with the big movie of the week, "Jurassic World: Rebirth" which aims to reboot the decades-long "Jurassic" franchise. Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey are all wildly overqualified for running from freakish, mutant dinosaurs. In theaters. Next up is one of the best movies ever made, and that's not hyperbole: Wong Kar Wai's masterpiece "In the Mood for Love" is back in theaters for its 25th anniversary. If you've never seen this gorgeous, achingly romantic movie projected, here's your chance. The impossibly glamorous Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung co-star. Check here to see if it's playing near you: https://inthemoodforlove25.film/. Then we have another throwback review: "This Is Spinal Tap," which is in theaters for its 41st anniversary. The OG mockumentary about a British rock band on the decline is still hilarious and infinitely quotable all these years later. It's back for a limited run, and you can get tickets here: https://www.fathomentertainment.com/releases/this-is-spinal-tap/. Finally, we did our version of The New York Times' list of the best films of the century. We each picked 10 favorites from the past 25 years, but came at it from different perspectives with very different results. This was a tough but fun assignment! What would you put on your list? Thanks for being here and enjoy the holiday weekend! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/
"This Is Spinal Tap" (1984), also known as "This Is Spın̈al Tap: A Rockumentary by Martin Di Bergi," is a mockumentary comedy directed by the legendary Rob Reiner in his feature debut and co-written with stars Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer, who play members of the fictional heavy metal band Spinal Tap, hilariously dubbed "one of England's loudest bands." Satirizing rock star excess and the earnest style of classic rock documentaries, the largely improvised film earned critical acclaim, modest box office returns, and later a devoted cult following that cemented its status as a landmark of the mockumentary genre and the source of the iconic phrase "Up to eleven." Selected for preservation by the Library of Congress in 2002, the film will finally get a sequel, "Spinal Tap II: The End Continues," with Reiner, Guest, McKean, and Shearer reuniting for one last concert in September 2025. Director Rob Reiner was kind enough to speak with us about his work and experience making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out The Golden 41st Anniversary 4K restoration of "This Is Spinal Tap" (with a special intro from Rob Reiner) in theaters from July 5th-7th, 2025 (get your tickets here) from Bleecker Street and will feature the first look at "Spinal Tap II: The End Continues."

Dave and Milt crank the amp to 11 and count down the greatest fake bands of all time. That's right—no chart-toppers, no world tours, no actual existence. Just the fictional bands that somehow managed to rock harder than most real ones. We open with a little School of Rock, because if Jack Black doesn't make your fake band list, you're doing life wrong. From there, it's a nostalgic jam session through cinematic and small-screen legends like The Commitments, The Blues Brothers, The Wonders, and—of course—the loudest band in England that's not actually from England: Spinal Tap. Along the way, we unpack listener mail (someone really had feelings about Dr. Teeth), share stories of interns who may or may not be trapped in a basement recording kazoo solos, and ask the big questions—like how many blues brothers is too many? And is Stillwater the best band that never opened for The Allman Brothers? You'll hear music clips, trivia drops, obscure references (you're welcome, Christopher Guest fans), and—brace yourselves—a tease for the new Spinal Tap movie. Yes, it's happening. No, we don't fully understand it either. So if you've ever air-guitared to That Thing You Do, quoted A Mighty Wind unprompted, or shouted "Shama-lama-ding-dong" in polite company… this one's for you. Timestamps (for those who prefer structure in their musical mayhem): 00:00 – Welcome to Past Tens: We're faking it today 01:25 – Listener mail: Love, hate, and one impassioned defense of Jem and the Holograms 03:38 – The countdown begins (cue dramatic VH1 voiceover) 10:25 – #10: School of Rock – Let's rock, let's rock… today 18:42 – #9: The Folksmen – Three-part harmony, one-part folk satire 25:06 – #8: Stillwater – It's all happening (and surprisingly soulful) 33:11 – #7: Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem – Muppets who shred 38:26 – #6: Otis Day & the Knights – Oh yes, we do mind if you dance with our dates 45:19 – #5: The Commitments – Soul power straight outta Dublin 48:19 – Intern tales & unlicensed musical ambition 49:08 – The Commitments, part deux – We really liked this one 52:15 – Flight of the Conchords – New Zealand's 4th most popular parody folk duo 58:20 – The Wonders – That thing they did? Still slaps 01:06:59 – The Blues Brothers – Suited up and still cool 01:11:50 – Honorable mentions: yes, Jesse & the Rippers made the cut 01:26:13 – Spinal Tap – Stonehenge, baby. Always Stonehenge 01:35:13 – Closing thoughts and shameless plugs
