Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ With Spinal Tap II: The End Continues in theatres this weekend, Roxy & Aaron get the band back together to give their This is Spinal Tap Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review! 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. Join us as we revisit the laughs, the music, and the unforgettable satire of rock’s loudest band!
