Reading Time: < 1 minute

Humpday is upon us once again. Which means it’s time for another episode of The Canon: An Essential Movies Watchlist. This week we welcome This is Spinal Tap into ScreenAge Wasteland’s Canon.

Happy listening, screenagers!


Episode 76: This is Spinal Tap (1984)

Yes, this episode goes up to 11! Bryan Loomis ScreenAge Wasteland’s newest contributing writer and one half of the What a Picture Podcast joins Raf to talk about the gold standard for mockumentary filmmaking. Is Christopher Guest the funniest guy of all time? Is Rob Reiner somehow an under appreciated filmmaker? Why do all of the drummers keep dying? All of these questions and much more answered in this rockin’ episode.
