This Is Spinal Tap (1984)

Hello, Wasteland - you’re tuned into Apocalypse Video Radio, and I hope you guys are ready to rock, because this week we’ve got a stone cold classic for ya; a film that reinvented comedy and set the standard for all mockumentaries to follow.

The film is…This Is Spinal Tap. And it’s Live, right now! On Apocalypse Video Radio!!!

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we try to find the line between clever and stupid are fellow bandmates Mike, Ryan, and Jackie.

Topics of discussion in this episode include trying desperately not to let the pod devolve into the Chris Farley Show as we break down the many, many great comedy bits from this movie; we touch on the film’s sequel and how it stacks up to the original; and finally, Ryan confirms that backstage areas are as labyrinthine as they are depicted in This Is Spinal Tap.

That’ll do it for our second act. When we return, we’ll be wrapping things up with this month’s Featured performers: The Beatles in A Hard Day’s Night. See you then!
