Legends, Rob Reiner Films Part 1 - This Is Spinal Tap, with The Movie Gap

Published: Oct. 6, 2023, 11 p.m.

This episode we are returning to focus on a Legend of cinema, and this episode we are talking about a man who has one of the best runs behind the camera through the eighties, and perhaps a forgotten master. Yes I am of course talking about the great Rob Reiner. I of course can't talk about such a legend alone, I am joined by Chase from The Movie Gap.

Warning we will be talking SPOILERS

The Movie Gaps choice is Rob Reiner first film as a director and arguably the funniest film ever made, This Is Spinal Tap. On this one we talk about the art of improvisational comedy. We talk about how Rob Reiner subtlety puts his own stamp on the documentary genre, creating a new one in the mockumentary. We talk about how these characters feel so real and that they all feel like they have a life outside of the film. Plus we talk about a preserved moose. IMDB page
