Gentle and Soft: The Story of the Blue Jean Committee / The Moment - S2E18

from Inglorious Brothers · host Justin & Matt Harper

On today’s show, we’re diving deep into two films inspired by one of the most groundbreaking and beloved comedy films of all time: This Is Spinal Tap, the first-of-a-genre masterpiece directed by Rob Reiner and starring Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer. The movie spawned imitators aplenty in the mockumentary space and paved the way for such pop cultural icons as The Office, Parks & Recreation, and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, among many, many others. In 2025, pop superstar Charli XCX released The Moment, a direct modern successor of This Is Spinal Tap, and it’s hilarious. So with that as a starting point, we’re going to review the film alongside another mockumentary that we’ve been eyeing: Gentle and Soft: The Story of the Blue Jean Committee. Though it plays as a feature, it was actually the final two episodes of the first season of Documentary Now!, a fantastic mockumentary series created by Fred Armisen and Bill Hader of Saturday Night Live fame.

Now the city consists of towers where the wealthiest residents live at the top while the poor eke out a living on the ground.

They find themselves drifting apart as Argus, the youngest, falls hopelessly in love with the much-older Helina, a foreign merchant haunted by her past; Cas, the middle brother, works in secret for the local crime boss; and Shaima, the oldest, struggles to keep their uncle’s scrap shop from going under. When Cas’s best friend, Kendall, is offered a position with the Wolfpac, Windfall’s military cult that acts as the city’s police, Cas is forced to decide where his loyalties lie. Meanwhile, something sinister looms over the city itself, threatening the lives of all who live in Windfall Explicit Screw It, We're Just Gonna Talk About Comics Will Hines and Kevin Hines COMIC BOOKS!
