Over the course of his long and distinguished career, Rob Reiner has directed some of the most beloved and acclaimed films in Hollywood history. But he had never directed a sequel until ‘Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues.' In this episode, Reiner breaks down why he decided to reunite with Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer for one last mockumentary 41 years after they invented the genre with ‘This Is Spinal Tap.' He talks about how the comedy of the film has evolved now that they are in their 70s and 80s, and the secret to playing the straight man opposite someone as effortlessly funny as Guest. Reiner also gets into the state of America under Trump 2.0, how Elon Musk drove him away from Twitter, and what he learned about being a politically outspoken celebrity from Norman Lear and Jane Fonda. Finally, he reflects on his relationship with his late father Carl Reiner, recalls the first time he met Mel Brooks, and considers the enduring legacy of classic films like ‘The Princess Bride' and ‘When Harry Met Sally.'Follow Matt Wilstein on Bluesky @mattwilstein Follow The Last Laugh on Instagram @lastlaughpodHighlights from this episode and others at The Daily Beast Hosted on Acast.

In this very special solo episode of My Favorite Mistake, Mark Graban breaks down the gloriously ridiculous — and surprisingly instructive — mistakes made by the characters in his all-time favorite film, This Is Spinal Tap. With the long-awaited sequel, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, now in theaters, Mark explores why Spinal Tap endures not just as a cult comedy classic, but as a brilliant satire of human behavior, team dysfunction, communication breakdowns, and leadership gone sideways. And yes — these mistakes still matter, even four decades later. From the Stonehenge measured in inches… To the foil-wrapped “courgette” in the pants… To the pod that wouldn't open and the drummers who keep dying… …these moments are funny because they're true. And they're great reminders that how we respond to mistakes matters more than pretending they never happened.

We're here to provide a little distraction -- and a positive online community during these weird times -- with the latest episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. Our first movie isn't exactly escapist fun, though: "The Long Walk," which is one of the better Stephen King adaptations. It's beautifully written and acted but also harrowing to watch, especially now. This may not be the best week to see people getting shot in the head, but this movie is really good otherwise. In theaters. Next up, it's "Spinal Tap II: The End Continues," the painfully unfunny sequel to the 1984 comedy classic "This Is Spinal Tap." It would be impossible to match the brilliance of a movie that invented an entire genre, but this one really doesn't. Rob Reiner, Michael McKean, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer are all back, along with some major celebrity cameos. In theaters. If you're looking for elegant pleasures, we have "Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale." Everyone's lives are in flux in 1930s England, but they look great doing it. And despite their financial woes, they find time to get gussied up for the horse races at Ascot. This tidies up all the stories in satisfying fashion. In theaters. Finally, a lengthy Movie News LIVE!: Early reactions to "One Battle After Another," Emmy Awards on Sunday, "Big Little Lies" season 3 and much more. We tried to keep the politics to a minimum but dipped into some entertainment-adjacent items toward the end. Join us every Friday at Noon Pacific. Thanks for all you do for our community!

This Is Spinal Tap ushered in a new wave of genre films with its satirical, mockumentary style. It is hailed as a classic, having found its way into the U.S. Library of Congress' National Film Registry. And if that isn't proof enough, the Criterion Collection is releasing a director-approved 4k restoration of the film. Now, over forty years later, the band is back together for one last show. Spinal Tap II: The End Continues finds bandmates David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls (all reprised roles by Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer) reuniting on stage after much time apart. Along with documentarian Marty DiBergi, the band tries to recapture the magic that was in the original This Is Spinal Tap. Today on FilmWeek, Larry Mantle is joined by Rob Reiner, co-writer and director of both films to talk about the legacy of the original This Is Spinal Tap for both film and music, and the unique task of continuing that legacy four decades later. SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES is in Wide Release and available in IMAX theaters. A Director-Approved 4K UHD edition of THIS IS SPINAL TAP will be released from the The Criterion Collection on Tuesday, September 16.

“That's the majesty of rock / The mystery of roll / The darning of the sock / The scoring of the goal / The farmer takes a wife / The barber takes a pole / We're in this together…and ever.” These lyrics ring as true today as they did back in 1992, when Spinal Tap penned them for their song “The Majesty of Rock,” from the classic album Break Like the Wind. Centering around the core trio of frontman David St. Hubbins, lead guitarist Nigel Tufnel, and bassist Derek Smalls, Spinal Tap have exerted a significant amount of musical force since the early '60s, when St. Hubbins and Tufnel first linked up as young rockers in the rough-and-tumble London neighborhood of Squatney. After trying on a few different styles and names—including The Originals, then the New Originals, then the Thamesmen—the group eventually settled into their now very-well-worn position as the elder statesmen of rock. But now, after a long, peaceful silence, Spinal Tap is back with a new film, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, in theaters on September 12. With noted filmmaker Marty DiBergi returning to the director's chair, the movie follows the band as they prepare for a triumphant reunion concert, offering an intimate view of the Tap working through festering interpersonal conflicts, rehearsing material and potential new drummers, and dealing with interruptions from the likes of Paul McCartney and Elton John. As with all things Tap, there's more: on September 16, the Criterion Collection will release a new special edition of the 1984 classic This Is Spinal Tap. Film Comment Editor Clinton Krute spoke with St. Hubbins, Tufnel, Smalls, and DiBergi about the new movie, which the band hasn't seen yet, and the old one, which they hate. They also discussed their long careers in music and film, the influence of cinema on their chosen art of music (including formative encounters with “good violent Westerns” like Run of the Arrow and sci-fi fare like The Tingler), and much more.

Reiner's 1984 mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap sparked a new genre of satire. Now, more than 40 years later, the band is back in a new sequel, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues.

This episode goes to eleven! It only took us 55 episodes to reach the most famous fictional band of all time. With the long-awaited sequel hitting theaters this weekend, we thought it was high time that we talk about the mother of all parody films, “This Is Spinal Tap.” We've got stories from the set and our usual detective work on what might have inspired songs like “Big Bottoms,” “Stonehenge,” and "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight." But wait, there's more! We'll be back next Monday, joined by our friend Paul Goetz, to gather our thoughts and toss out some hot takes on “Spinal Tap II: The End Continues!”

Roxy Striar & Aaron Alexander dive into the hilarious world of Rob Reiner's legendary mockumentary comedy This Is Spinal Tap (1984). Widely regarded as one of the greatest comedies of all time, the film follows the fictional British rock band Spinal Tap as they embark on a disastrous U.S. tour plagued with malfunctioning stage props, absurd mishaps, and endless band drama. Michael McKean (Best in Show, Clue) stars as David St. Hubbins, Christopher Guest (Waiting for Guffman, A Mighty Wind) as Nigel Tufnel, and Harry Shearer (The Simpsons, A Mighty Wind) as Derek Smalls, with support from Rob Reiner (The Princess Bride, Stand By Me) as documentarian Marty DiBergi. Famous for its quotable one-liners like “these go to eleven,” the film brilliantly parodies the excesses of rock and roll, the fragility of egos, and the absurdity of the music industry. From exploding drummers to the iconic Stonehenge stage mishap, This Is Spinal Tap remains a cult classic that influenced an entire generation of mockumentaries.

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.

It's been 41 years between This Is Spinal Tap and its upcoming sequel. That's a long time to not be doing anything. Luckily for us, the band hasn't been not doing anything, or at least not doing nothing. Not not doing… nothing… let's try again. We're discussing Spinal Tap between the movies, and maybe even earlier.
On the 87th A24 film review for A24 on the Rocks, these film reviewers tackle the 2019 doozy of a movie "Skin" starring Jamie Bell and Danielle Macdonald. Skin is loosely based on the true story of Bryon Widner, a neo-nazi who was part of the white supremacist gang called the Vinlanders Social Club. After getting arrested for a horrific act of violence, Bryon meets a woman named Julie who brings her three kids to a Vinlanders Social Club gathering to perform folk music. Bryon falls in love with Julie and (maybe?) finds his conscience, but quickly realizes it isn't so easy to leave the neo-nazi gang that raised him. The A24 Rocks crew discusses the heavy themes of Skin, the short film it's based off of, and if director Guy Nattiv did a good job adapting his short movie into a feature length film.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with a sharp joke about a recent Celsius energy drink recall. From there, the group shifts to speculation around Jeffrey Epstein, reacting to newly uncovered video footage and the news that Bill and Hillary Clinton have been subpoenaed by Congress. They broaden the discussion to larger conspiracy theories in a satirical take on outlandish theories, linking everything from Hitler's fate to the moon landing hoax and even 9/11. After that, a bizarre WNBA controversy gets the comedic treatment as they break down a spate of incidents involving fans throwing adult toys onto the court, spinning their own tongue-in-cheek explanations for this absurd trend. Later, they pivot to personal territory, swapping candid birthing stories and weighing in on epidurals, breastfeeding, C-sections, and the unfiltered realities of parenting. They then review the new "Naked Gun" reboot, analyzing its brand of slapstick humor and how it measures up against the legendary spoof films of decades past. They even nod to parody favorites like "This Is Spinal Tap" and "Spaceballs" while noting the return of these beloved spoofs to theaters. Today's guest on "Normal World" is Kris Fried.

In 2016, Lulu Wang shared her familial story with This American Life, and it was so poignant to the immigrant experience, that it was made into a movie. After both American and Chinese film studios tried to get her to change the tone of the film, four different indie film production companies picked up her script and gave her the creative freedom to tell her true story. And that became The Farewell, starring Awkwafina. The A24 Rocks crew discusses one of the most critically-acclaimed A24 films in the A24 chronology, and shares some personal stories related to China.

On this A24 Vibe Discussion, the A24 Rocks crew discusses a Danny Boyle film for the first time. None other than the recent critically-acclaimed zombie thriller "28 Years Later." Written by Alex Garland (writer of A24 films such as Ex Machina, Men, and Civil War), 28 Years Later is the third film in the 28 Days Later universe. These film reviewers ask if it stays truthful to the first film, and if it was worth making. Is it even better than 28 Days Later? What kind of themes does this infection movie touch on given what the human race has dealt with since 2020? Also, why did they give some zombies a third leg?

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
This week, we're drowning in the genius of our tech overlords as Elon Musk opens his Tesla diner, complete with $17 hotdogs and a blocked apartment view, while his $9 billion Neuralink startup claims it's a "disadvantaged" business. Not to be outdone, SpaceX is mad about other people's space junk, France is criminally probing X for algorithm manipulation, and Meta is giving the EU's AI code of practice a hard pass. Amid warnings the AI bubble is worse than the dot-com implosion, we've seen Replit delete a user's database, ChatGPT hallucinate features into existence, and the FDA's own AI fake medical studies. It's no wonder psychologists are identifying "AI Psychosis" while others hope the ensuing internet slop cures our addiction. Meanwhile, a Denver couple gets indicted for a crypto scam, a Colorado pastor blames God for his failed coin, and Trump signs a stablecoin bill, so that's all fixed now. To top it off, Lyft lets you block drivers and Uber finally lets women riders match with women drivers in the US.In Media Candy, we're turning the nostalgia dial to eleven with "This Is Spinal Tap" in 4K and a look back at 1994's best movies, a time before Spotify started polluting dead artists' pages with AI-generated songs. Netflix is also using generative AI, but we're still watching "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," "Hacks," "Wednesday," "Superman," "Sunday Best," and "Bookish." For your app fix, you can browse a glorious collection of 90s Geocities backgrounds or let Amazon's new Bee AI wearable listen to your every word, your choice. At the library, we're digging into Michael Palin's "Python Years" diaries. Finally, we pour one out in our closing shout-outs for George Kooymans of Golden Earring, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Hulk Hogan, and the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam opens by discussing the recent efforts to defund NPR and recalls how a past interview he did with them turned into a failed “gotcha” moment. He then recaps his adventurous weekend at Road America in Wisconsin, where he raced on the iconic track, faced unexpected delays, and got locked out of his Airbnb at 2:00 a.m. He also reflects on the genius of This Is Spinal Tap, shares a story about losing his luggage—which included a ribeye steak inside—and vents about airport employees who make everything about them.Elisha Krauss joins Adam for the news! They kick things off with the viral “kiss cam” scandal at a Coldplay concert, which led to the resignation of the CEO of Astronomer after a woman abruptly fled the frame and set social media ablaze. The HR executive involved turned out to be connected to the powerful Cabot family, sparking even more public curiosity. They also react to the surprising announcement that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will be canceled in May 2026, and discuss In-N-Out President Lynsi Snyder's decision to move her family out of California as the company expands to the eastern U.S.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH ELISHA KRAUSS: INSTAGRAM: @elishakraussWEBSITE: elishakrauss.com JOURNAL: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/author/elisha-krauss/Thank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnline120Life.com use code ADAMoreillyauto.com/ADAMOpenPhone.com/adamPluto.tvGo to Superpower.com and use code Carolla to get $50 Off your annual Superpower subscription.

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!

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."

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 145 - Deliverables and Preserving Authorial Intent - with Steve Yedlin In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, cinematographer Steve Yedlin (Season 2, Episode 72) returns to talk with us about deliverables and preserving authorial intent in post-production. Throughout the episode, we tap into Steve's deep well of technical knowledge, and we make frequent reference to Steve's publicly available demonstration on what HDR really is and how it has affected the colour timing stage of post. We get into the weeds during our conversation, and we try to make sense of the growing number of variables, units of measurement, and home-video viewing options we're forced to contend with as filmmakers in the digital age. We also look at how our level of control over home-viewing deliverables has changed since the VHS days, and we attempt to peek into what the future may hold for us as technology and audience expectations continue to evolve. Towards the end of our conversation, we discuss the economic realities of restoring old films, and Steve offers his best advice to any young (or older!) filmmaker feeling overwhelmed by the endless technical jargon. Plus, we find some surprising and relevant wisdom within THIS IS SPINAL TAP. - We highly recommend watching Steve's demonstration on HDR for an even deeper investigation into the topics discussed in this episode.
