Summary
Producer and Executive Michael Ross returns to The Cine-Files to discuss one of the funniest and most influential films ever made. To say that Rob Reiner's 1982 mockumentary, This is Spinal Tap invented its own genre is an incredible understatement. From improv projects like Waiting for Huffman and Curb your Enthusiasm to comedies using the documentary form like The Office and Parks and Recreation, This is Spinal Tap is one of the most influential films of all time and John, Steve and Mike had an amazing (and hilarious) time discussing it.
If you haven't seen this incredible film you can buy or stream it right here.
