Crank it to 11! In Episode 239 of the Amazing Pop Culture Podcast, hosts Dags and Mike Rez dive into the legendary mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap (1984) – Rob Reiner’s hilarious heavy metal satire that still shreds as a cult classic.

Mike Rez watches it for the very first time, delivering fresh, unfiltered reactions to the chaos: amps that go to eleven, the infamous Stonehenge disaster, exploding drummers, getting lost backstage, and all the iconic quotes. Meanwhile, Dags shares nostalgic stories from seeing it in theaters on opening day in 1984.
