This Is Spinal Tap (1984) Review | Rob Reiner Month
Did This is Spinal Tap invent the mockumentary as we know it, or just perfect it on the first try?
This week on So Many Sequels, we're continuing Rob Reiner Month by traveling back to 1984 to follow England's loudest band. Josh, Garrett, and David break down how Reiner's directorial debut abandoned a traditional script for genius-level world-building and cast improvisation. We talk iconic cameos (like Fran Drescher and Paul Shaffer) , the truth behind "turning it up to 11," and why this film felt like a painfully real documentary to actual rock stars. Plus, find out how it stacked up against the massive box office hits of 1984.
