This is Spinal Tap

What this episode covers

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana set the controls to 11 and discuss the 1984 MockRockumentary This is Spinal Tap. In this insane fake documentary about the fake band Spinal Tap, we travel with Marty Di Bergi as he captures the sights, sounds and smells of a touring rock band. David, Nigel and Derek are all aging rock stars (?) touring America to promote their new album Smell the Glove. Murphy's Law is on their side as everything that can go wrong, does go wrong. It's is completely hilarious, with one of the best soundtracks that a fake band as ever produced. Keep a sharp eye out for a ton of not-yet-famous cameos. This movie clocks in at 82 minutes, but somewhere out there, there is a 272 minute verison. Extra points to any E&N fan that can find that copy and send it our way.Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing). Plus one-off specials and a weekly mini "what are we watching" podcast.#jezoo74 #aegonzo1 #danacapoferri #exciting_new
