371: Spinal Tap II: The End Continues/The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years With Guest Miguel(ito)

This week, we’re diving headfirst into the loud, the proud, and the occasionally ridiculous world of rock when comedian Miguel(ito) makes his long-awaited BaaM debut! Our main feature is Spinal Tap II: The End Continues — the long-awaited sequel that begs the question: can they recapture the lightning in a bottle from the original, or is it a comfortable revisit of our favorite band? We pair it with The Decline of Western Civilization II: The Metal Years, Penelope Spheeris’s legendary documentary that captured the teased hair, spandex dreams, and existential dread of ‘80s metal culture. To keep our lighters raised, we’re sipping Texas Light Beer from Real Ale Brewing and Lager Fermented Cold IPA from Saint Arnold Brewing — two very different spins on easy-drinking beers for headbanging sessions. It’s rock parody meets real-life parody, and the only thing heavier than the riffs are the laughs. 🤘
