Rob Reiner's 'Spinal Tap' Still Goes To 11

09 Sep 2025

Description

Reiner's 1984 mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap sparked a new genre of satire. Now, more than 40 years later, the band is back in a new sequel, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues. "They have grown neither emotionally or musically," Reiner says. The filmmaker spoke with Terry Gross about When Harry Met Sally, growing up around comedy legends, and starring in Norman Lear's seminal sitcom All in the Family. Also, David Bianculli reviews the new comedy series The Paper. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
