SPEAKER_00 (00:28):
Hey everyone, and welcome to Movies Worth Seeing.
Today we're doing something abit different, and we're going
to talk about a classic film,Spinal Tap.
Addie had never seen thisbefore.
I've seen this a million times.
I love Spinal Tap.
And with the sequel coming out,I thought, what better time to
rewatch the original?
And tonight we did it.
(00:50):
Addie, as a first-time viewer,what did you think of Spinal
Tap?
SPEAKER_02 (00:55):
It was funny, not what I expected.
It is typically 80s and it'stypically British.
SPEAKER_00 (01:01):
What do you mean though, like when you're like
typically British?
Like what's that supposed tomean?
SPEAKER_02 (01:07):
What is that supposed to mean?
It's just super dry humor.
Yeah.
Slow like in the 80s.
It is clay card jokes that arerefreshingly surfacey.
Like they're they're not tryingto force any deeper meaning in
things that are not needed.
They're not going into complexthat they're not going into
complex characters.
They're simple characters.
(01:29):
Very simple characters.
And a relative relatively simplesituation.
Not simple, it's high stakes,but it's simple because it's not
complex.
Emotionally, spiritually, allthat kind of stuff.
SPEAKER_00 (01:44):
It's just a band that's really like stupid.
Shit.
Yeah.
Or a band that used to be good,but is just declined and has
gotten smaller fan base and isstruggling to make a final tour
work.
SPEAKER_02 (02:01):
And then make the stupider decision, the stupidest
decisions you could ever make.
Yeah.
It's just like and even belowaverage IQ person would still
question their choices.
And it's funny what you weresaying is that actual rock
artists came to them and waslike, oh, that was actually a
really good documentary.
SPEAKER_03 (02:19):
Did that really happen?
SPEAKER_00 (02:20):
Yeah, I can totally see like Ozzy Osborne, Rest in
Peace, or like any of thoselegendary rock stars just coming
up to them and being like, Man,like the way you conveyed what
we go through as musicians, man,that was beautiful.
That was beautiful.
And it is kind of funny becauseSpinal Tap were the originators
(02:43):
of the Black album, and thenMetallica ended up making the
Black album uh one of their mostcontroversial albums.
So it is funny in a way thatreal musicians, real rockers
would get ideas from Spinal Tap.
SPEAKER_02 (03:03):
Yeah, which is that's what I'm saying.
It's refreshingly simple.
And you can see in a film, youcan recognize trends that they
set that early on.
Like, for example, the BlackAlbum, but also for future
films.
Like they made so manyreferences that I'm like, hey,
wait a second.
Oh actually, no, this was madebefore.
Thinking about it, uh, what wasit?
(03:23):
What was it?
There were there were like twoor three moments where like
that's exactly copied in laterfilms.
It's like certain sayings,certain phrases.
Fuck, sorry, I don't remember.
It's okay, we'll come back toit.
SPEAKER_00 (03:35):
Let's play a fun game.
Top five favorite moments fromSpin on Tap.
Number five, eleven.
Yeah, the amp going to eleven.
SPEAKER_02 (03:43):
Amp going to it's like trying to talk logic into
such a dumb person.
SPEAKER_00 (03:51):
I just love the pause afterwards of like, well,
why don't you make 10 louder andjust make that the loudest?
These go to 11.
Like it's just it's perfecttiming.
It's perfect timing.
Yeah, great moment.
Love it, referenced a lot.
Yeah.
So then I'd love to know if likeheaps of um like if guitar
(04:17):
places ended up designing ampsto go to 11, if that became like
a hot thing to do after themovie, like ah fuck, now we've
got to go to 11 instead of 10.
Yeah, yeah.
Cool.
So that's number five.
I'd say number four is the metaldetector scene.
SPEAKER_03 (04:36):
Oh, that is so hilarious because it was set up
so much earlier as well.
SPEAKER_02 (04:40):
We're good, armadillos in our pants, and
then he pulls out a cucumber andfoil.
Like, why do foil?
Yeah, I didn't why why why doyou have to wrap it in foil?
SPEAKER_00 (04:50):
Like, I also love like Harry Shearer's delivery as
he's trying really hard to avoidhaving to do it, having to
expose his armadillo by youknow, uh the security guards
just probing more on like, doyou have artificial limbs or
(05:10):
anything?
And she's like, and he's he'slike, no, not that I know of.
Like, and then finally, all theguys are in the background,
like, yeah, just do it, just doit.
And he just pulls out a yeah,love it.
SPEAKER_02 (05:25):
I thought he would have like nipple piercings or
something like that, yeah.
Well, then she went down, it'slike, oh, he probably has like a
dick piercing.
She's gonna have to show a dickand then like pull it out or
something like that.
But then he just flips out thefucking armadillo.
Size thick.
He takes out a cute.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (05:42):
Number three, what would number three be?
Stonehenge.
I think Stonehenge.
Stonehenge was Stonehenge is agreat moment because there's so
much setup that goes into it andit's paid off beautifully.
There's so many jokes that arepaid off of this setup of just
them trying their best to.
(06:04):
I mean, first you've got thejoke that this this long-lasting
joke where it's like this bandwill focus on everything but the
music.
Yeah.
Like the music is the the lastthing they think to improve.
So they think, oh, let's improvethe stage presentation.
Okay.
We'll get first they were gonnadress up as animals, and then
(06:27):
they were like, no, let's doStonehenge.
So one of them draws it on anapkin, and then the prop, the
prop lady designs Stonehenge,but designs it as like 18 inch
instead of 18 feet.
SPEAKER_02 (06:44):
And I was really wondering how I thought that
that's hilarious that thathappened.
But then I'm naive and expectingthe characters to be smarter
than they actually are, and Ithought, they gotta work with it
somehow.
Like, maybe like a put in thefront of the stage and like cast
a big shadow or something likethat to make it look bigger than
it actually is.
It just drop an 18-inchStonehenge figurine at the top
(07:09):
and get dwarfs to dance around.
SPEAKER_00 (07:12):
And the way it's like lowered down in the
background is just so perfect.
SPEAKER_02 (07:17):
But the thing is, we're all blindsided by it
either, because they hadn't seenit before.
Yeah, they didn't know.
SPEAKER_00 (07:24):
Fuck is that and also the manager like Ian
thinking to himself, like, oh,this will fuck it.
Let's just do it and I'll dealwith it later.
And afterwards, just being like,oh well, you know, like what are
you gonna do?
You you move on, kind of thing.
You just roll with it.
SPEAKER_02 (07:42):
And then they have this big fight about it in the
in the in in the in the greenroom afterwards, and then Ian
quits, the pr the productionmanager, he quits, and then you
have the the bass player.
Derek.
Derek.
I've got to ask a uh I can't dothe bridge texts right now.
I'm gonna ask a practicalquestion.
SPEAKER_00 (08:00):
Practical question are we gonna do Stonehenge
tomorrow?
No, we're not fucking doingStonehenge tomorrow.
No, we're not gonna fucking doStonehenge.
SPEAKER_02 (08:11):
It's great.
It's it's great.
Brilliant.
Number two, direct lyrics fromone of their songs.
She has baby teeth.
She's too young, and I'm toohung.
Something like that.
SPEAKER_00 (08:26):
Fucking hell.
SPEAKER_02 (08:27):
Like, and it's just in a climactic moment of the
whole thing where they're justthe reunion of the singers.
It's like it's such a hardproblem.
It's like come back on stage.
Oh, from tonight I'm gonna rockyou.
Yes.
Tonight I'm gonna rock you.
SPEAKER_01 (08:40):
Like, I think a lot of the what?
SPEAKER_02 (08:44):
So bad.
You shouldn't you could never dothat these days.
Oh god.
But it was a goal.
It was gold slide in joke.
It was so good.
SPEAKER_00 (08:56):
It's also like that like sex farm.
Like just what the fuck?
And I I love that bit at themilitary base when they're just
like the the drill sergeant orwhatever is like, so if you guys
could just play some slownumbers and then it's just a
jump cut.
(09:19):
Gold.
Gold.
And number one for me sandwich.
SPEAKER_02 (09:24):
Yeah, the sandwich, the bread.
It's an iconic scene.
I've seen that scene before,even though I've never seen
Spinal Tap.
I've seen that scene.
SPEAKER_00 (09:30):
So just the fact that you knew the scene means
it's transcended because youknew the scene before you knew
the movie it came about.
Yeah, exactly.
Brilliant.
I mean, like as we were talkingabout, it's just the perfect
combination of shots, acting,everything is just so perfect in
(09:52):
that one scene.
You've got a musiciancomplaining about the stupidest
shit while his band is likeabsolutely in the toilet, and
there couldn't be more worsethings going on.
Gigs and con gigs are gettingcancelled left and right, but
(10:12):
yet for some reason, Nigel feelslike he needs to make this
complaint about the food.
SPEAKER_02 (10:20):
But again, it's just a below average person could use
enough logic to make thisproblem gone.
You can rip the piece of meat,or you can just fold it, and
characters just can't put twoand two together.
SPEAKER_00 (10:35):
Well, that's one of the best parts when Ian is
saying to Nigel, like, well, whywould you keep folding it
though?
Because he just keeps foldingthe bread with the salami and
the close-up shots of him justfolding it.
SPEAKER_03 (10:52):
You know why I know this scene?
SPEAKER_02 (10:55):
Because I think there is a blooper of this
scene.
I if I remember correctly, maybeI could be completely wrong and
then cut this whole bit out.
I think there's a blooper ofthis scene.
Like they keep trying to do it,and they it's it's a it's
filming about it's a littledocumentary thing about making
this scene.
And they keep on cracking upbecause it's such a stupid
(11:16):
scene.
It's so funny.
But yeah, I think I've seenthat.
Okay.
I think I've seen that.
That's where I know it from.
SPEAKER_00 (11:22):
Yeah, number one's the the bread.
Definitely for me.
I love the stone-faced Anne.
Anne's facial expressions oflike, are you for real?
Is this really what we're gonnatalk about right now?
Fucking bread.
But then he has to still comfortNigel and be like, Look, look, I
(11:43):
don't want this to ruin yourperformance.
I'm a professional.
Oh, rise above it.
I'm a professional.
Yes, yeah, brilliant.
SPEAKER_02 (11:50):
Great.
We have a couple of honorablementions though.
For moments, yeah.
For moments are hilarious.
Trying to play a guitar with theviolin just stood out to me.
It was just so fucking dumb.
And then tuned the violin to goagain.
unknown (12:03):
It's like what?
SPEAKER_02 (12:05):
Another one is them getting lost in the backstage
and like a full circle.
And I'm like, this guy getsfucked.
Wrong turn, let's go back.
And then one more is just theintroduction to all the
characters where you seen Ithink it's Nigel.
Nigel's one of the long hair,the one that quits the band.
Yeah, it's tough.
(12:25):
You see him just like on thestage, like with his tongue.
How the fuck did he do that?
It's just like that that littlescene where you see the four of
them together just playing theguitar, it just depicted every
character exactly what you canexpect from them for the rest of
the film.
I thought that was really welldone.
Fucking hilarious.
(12:47):
You have four complete idiotsnext to each other, but they're
all four different idiots.
Yeah.
I would I would classify thosethree as honorable mentions.
Didn't make the top five, butreally good.
How about this?
SPEAKER_00 (12:56):
Top five quotes.
SPEAKER_02 (12:58):
Okay.
SPEAKER_00 (12:59):
I got one.
Are you right?
Should we do it together?
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Alright, I I think number five,less mime, more money.
That's such an underrated mimeis money.
Sorry, mime is money.
Mime is mum.
Come on, come on, don't talkback.
Mime is money.
It's such an underrated line,and it's so clever.
Like, why are there mimesserving food?
(13:22):
It's brilliant.
And the fact that Billy Crystalis the mime, like knowing what
he would go on to become.
Great.
It's a great quote.
And it yeah, it always gets achuckle out of me, no matter how
many times I've heard it.
Number four, these go to 11.
Yeah.
Oh, but I also love when Nigelis showing off all of his
(13:45):
guitars, and he's like, oh, youknow, looking at it.
This guitar's still got the oldtagger on it, you know, it's
never even been played.
And he's arguing with thedirector.
Don't don't touch it.
Well, I'm touching it.
I'm just pointing at it.
I wasn't.
I was just I was just pointingat it.
Don't point at it.
Well, don't point.
All right.
You've seen enough of that one,yeah?
Yeah, don't even look at it.
(14:06):
Let's move on.
SPEAKER_02 (14:08):
Number three.
I'm gonna restate my quad frombefore.
What?
She has baby teeth, she's tooyoung, and I'm too hung.
It's it it caught it blindsidedme.
It caught me off guard.
SPEAKER_00 (14:22):
I think Big Bottom is a lyrical masterpiece.
Oh yes.
Talk about mud flaps, my girlsgot 'em.
It's just brilliant.
I've never heard such lyricalpoetry.
I think one Shakespeare would beproud.
One quote that really stands outto me is um, you know, oh well,
(14:46):
what do you call this beautifulkind of arrangement you've made?
And it's like, oh, this iscalled lick my love pump.
SPEAKER_02 (14:57):
Just lick my love.
SPEAKER_00 (15:01):
It's a mark piece.
Lick my love pump.
SPEAKER_02 (15:04):
Fuck yeah.
Again, blindsided, did notexpect that.
Yeah, yeah, they're setting upthis beautiful.
The thing that made that is sobeautiful in this film is that
they every time they set up thismoment where you feel these
characters are gonna rise abovethe situation, actually show
like a bit more complexity totheir personality.
(15:29):
Every time, I don't know aboutyou, but every time I fell for
it.
Like, for example, it's likethis guy's like you had a D
minor, it's the saddest note youcan play, and it just brings
everybody to tears.
SPEAKER_03 (15:41):
Yeah, it's a musical musical trilogy.
Yeah, it's like Beethoven andBuck.
How do you what what are yougonna call it?
Lick my love button.
SPEAKER_00 (15:55):
I think that's the brilliance of Spinal Tap is so
many jokes are just given somuch setup that you're just
hanging off, like wondering likewhat where is this going?
And then they just they just getyou so well with the with the
payoff with the punchline.
Yeah, yeah, especially like itwas such a treat watching you
(16:19):
see it for the first timebecause I'm thinking to myself,
like, uh this punchline's gonnaget you so hard because you you
don't know where it's gone.
And I saw it with that one,that's why I liked it.
Fuck, number one, hmm.
You know what?
I'm probably gonna go with Ianand Janine and Bobby.
(16:43):
Bobby?
Who's Bobby?
Bobby Fleckman.
So they're having a conversationabout the album cover, and he's
saying to her, why can't whycan't we do the album cover?
Like, what's the big deal?
And then Bobby just goes throughand is like, Ian, like, you put
a naked, greased up woman, andshe's got a leash on all fours,
(17:08):
and a guy's shoving his handinto her face to smell the
glass.
SPEAKER_02 (17:15):
I really thought that sentence was gonna go to
the other side.
SPEAKER_00 (17:18):
Shoved his hand in her face.
And like, uh, okay.
Well, the other part was like,after you hear this horrible
description of what the albumcover was, Ian just going like,
oh, you you should have heardthe album they wanted to do.
My Jesus.
SPEAKER_02 (17:35):
I love I love how they got came back to that
later, too.
When they came across the othermusic, the other musician, the
other Wanker, we had who did asimilar thing on his and on his
album cover.
It's like, why can't he do that?
Because he did it to himself.
Like, oh he was the victim.
SPEAKER_03 (17:56):
He was the victim.
Their objection was she was thevictim.
Yeah, but he was the victim.
See, it's a very clever twist.
There's a very fine line betweenclever and stupid.
Yeah, it's just shut the fuckup.
SPEAKER_00 (18:10):
I like that they they take that moment to be
like, oh, blah, like, oh, wemissed that.
Like, we could have done that.
Oh, yeah.
It eclipsed us.
It was so it was so clever.
We should have thought of that.
SPEAKER_02 (18:25):
They're all like in awe of it and just I wish they
they showed you the album covertoo.
Show it.
SPEAKER_00 (18:32):
I think it's funnier that they didn't show the album
cover.
SPEAKER_02 (18:36):
Because then it can only disappoint.
Because the imagination of it isso good.
SPEAKER_00 (18:40):
Yeah, uh, like hearing Bobby just describe it,
you're just like, oh my god.
How much further is this gonnago?
SPEAKER_02 (18:46):
Yeah.
Because that's right.
You should have seen the albumcovered at one or two.
It wasn't a glove.
SPEAKER_00 (18:56):
Yeah.
Oh, so funny.
Honorable mention also has to goto one of the best critic
reviews of um Spinal Taps music.
Marty, the the director, justsets it up perfectly.
I've got this critic review foryour album Shark Sandwich.
Shark Sandwich.
It's simply a two-word review.
(19:19):
Just says shit sandwich.
They're like, what?
No way.
No, we can't say that.
That's not real.
Where'd they print that?
Where'd they print that?
Yeah, that's that that's thatcrack you cracked up on that
one.
I always crack up on thatbecause I just think it's so
fucking funny.
SPEAKER_02 (19:38):
Shit sandwich, that's one of them.
That's actually one of thosequotes I was thinking.
It's like, it's such a quote youhear every everywhere now.
Shit sandwich.
Like it's it's a sales term.
Or like not a sales term, it's auh a teaching method, a shit
sandwich.
You give them something good,something to work on, and then
something good again.
It's called you call it a shitsandwich when you teach someone,
right?
I just like ah, but did theycome up with that?
(20:01):
It's just I don't know.
It's kind of it's an analogythat that that I'd never heard
before outside that context.
It's like a shit sandwich.
SPEAKER_00 (20:09):
I also find the setup really funny.
Like, why the fuck did you makean album called Shark Sandwich?
Like, what the fuck does thateven mean?
And then they show the albumcover for it and it's a shark
swimming in a sandwich.
It's just like shark fits comingout of it on top.
How has no one done that yet asan actual album?
(20:30):
That's the that's the realquestion that we need to ask
ourselves is it's right there.
It's right there, and no one'sdone it.
SPEAKER_02 (20:38):
It's already copyrighted now.
SPEAKER_00 (20:40):
Potentially.
SPEAKER_02 (20:41):
Another honorable mention is that there have been
37 members on this band.
It's just like, what?
And they're all like besides thethree originals, like most of
the drums.
They're all the drummers.
Yeah.
And then at the very end, youjust see the drummer explode,
(21:02):
and a new drummer with a newtitle rocks up.
It's like, what?
And then you see him explodeagain in the background.
It's just like, that's 39.
That's hilarious.
SPEAKER_00 (21:12):
Also, the interview with the drummer just been like,
oh, you know that like being adrummer means that you're
probably gonna die.
Yes, law of average.
Well, like I knew it was gonnahappen.
It's gonna happen someday.
So I I just you know, I just gowith it.
SPEAKER_02 (21:28):
And then the interview was like, Yeah, but
law of average is so it'sprobably not gonna be you, it's
not gonna happen.
It's like, no, no, you're right.
Law of average is not gonna uhuh says I'm gonna be fine.
Yeah.
Being number 37.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (21:41):
So after watching Spinal Tap, would you definitely
watch Spinal Tap 2?
SPEAKER_02 (21:48):
I am curious to watch it.
I I I I I thought it was funny,but I've never been a big fan of
movies from like before the thethe 2000.
It's really yeah, I've neverbeen a big fan of them.
It's just like I can laugh aboutthem.
Don't get me wrong, like if wewatched the original Naked Gun,
it it'd be hilarious.
But it's just such a differentstyle of films that I've never
(22:10):
been really into.
I'm actually really curiousabout what Spinal Tap 2 will
have to offer.
Are they gonna follow the samestructure of dry British humor
that fits within that same era?
Or are they gonna translate itto modern style humor?
SPEAKER_00 (22:25):
Yeah.
And will it work?
Yeah, I'm always curious to knowlike what jokes they'll try to
still pull off.
How many callbacks they'll do,you know, like is it just gonna
be Happy Gilmore 2, where everysingle joke is just this is what
we did in the original, andwe're doing it again.
(22:47):
In the trailer, I did enjoylittle things like seeing them
talking to drummers about likejoining the band and and all
these really famous drummers.
So all these famous drummerslike appearing and and spinal
taps trying to ask them, like,hey, would you join the band?
And they're just like, I don'twant to die.
Yeah, yeah.
(23:07):
So that's clever.
Yeah.
What do you rate it out of five,Addy?
What does a classic like spinaltap get out of five?
Or do you go up to eleven?
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
I'm gonna rate it a six out offive.
SPEAKER_02 (23:22):
My gut tells me a three out of five.
Oh damn.
Yeah, my gut tells me a threeout of five, but it's very
biased in the sense that mytaste does not line movies from
the 80s.
Yeah.
Right?
I always struggle, just I'm morefor the vibrant colors.
And everything from the 80s isstill like a bit of a grey tone,
less quality, and I want like asuper sharp images.
(23:44):
And and it gives me a bit of itgives a complete different
feeling.
SPEAKER_00 (23:47):
There's so many colorful movies from the 80s.
SPEAKER_02 (23:49):
Yeah, but it's all there's always a great skill
just because it was on film, itwasn't Kodak.
And it gives a different film.
And I Jeez, Tarantino would hateyou.
Oh, you can hate me all youwant, I don't care, but just
kidding, Quinton, you and I arebuddies.
Come to Tel Aviv.
Well, uh we'll celebratetogether, huh?
He lives in Tel Aviv.
SPEAKER_01 (24:07):
Does he?
I think not Tel Aviv.
Yeah, in Tel Aviv.
Yeah, he lives there.
Why?
He has an Israeli wife.
unknown (24:13):
Really?
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (24:14):
She's hot?
SPEAKER_02 (24:15):
I'm so curious now.
No, she is she is she'sbeautiful.
My dad is like you can they'reon the street, a lot of them in
Tel Aviv.
You can just spot him.
If he's not traveling around theworld making films.
SPEAKER_00 (24:25):
She's 41.
Ah.
Yeah, she's wow, she's reallyhot.
Obviously.
She's 41.
How old is he?
He is not 40.
60?
Well done.
SPEAKER_02 (24:36):
Be famous.
Have a lot of money.
And a lot of women will fall foryou.
Not all, but a lot will.
SPEAKER_00 (24:43):
He's never married before.
SPEAKER_01 (24:44):
Well, she's his first wife.
SPEAKER_00 (24:46):
Good for him.
You have kids, right?
I'm so sick of hearing aboutlike celebs that fucking get
married 10 million times.
SPEAKER_02 (24:52):
Oh, it's just stupid.
SPEAKER_00 (24:53):
Like, if it didn't work the first time, like just
fucking let it go.
SPEAKER_02 (24:58):
Well, it's not that.
It's just the more modernculture that just lost integrity
and acts on impulses.
Yeah.
They have a feeling and theywant to connect to it.
And it's just like, no.
Like, Quinton's a bit older.
He has a little bit more of a uha traditional sense of
commitment to family.
(25:19):
And it's just like, no, cool.
You you find out if this is theright person for you and you
commit, fully commit to them,and you don't just act on your
impulse, on the emotion of themoment.
It's like, yeah, you're sureyour puppy love for like a few
months.
Three months, that's your puppylove.
But a lot of those celebritiesalready get in a full committed
relationship, but sometimes evenget married within the three
months.
SPEAKER_01 (25:37):
And it's just like come to Funk Town.
Or even time to sign a fuckingprint up.
SPEAKER_00 (25:42):
You know what I mean?
Sorry?
SPEAKER_02 (25:46):
Some some of them fucking get married within a
week.
Well, if you're in L if ifyou're in LA, you can do it.
Las Vegas, sorry, you can do it.
Who gives a fuck?
Yeah, so but that aside.
So your Quentin's gonna hit me.
Your final rating on Spinal Tap.
Three out of five.
That's right, just because it'snot my vibe.
I like it these days when it'sintentional, but for back in
(26:10):
that era of filmmaking, itwasn't intentional on Kodak.
There was just no other option.
It was film or it was nothing.
Now you have the option.
So when you decide to go forcodec, you do it for certain
aesthetic experiences.
And Christopher Nolan is a bigfan of that.
Though I really dislikedOppenheimer.
Some of his other films on film.
I do like it.
So it's not necessarily thefilm, it's just the gray skills
(26:31):
that and and and the lack ofability in preservation of
quality.
It's such a weird reason to givea three out of four.
No, no, no.
It's a classic movie.
The whole thing just adds to thereason why I'm not into films
from the 80s, 90s.
SPEAKER_00 (26:46):
You're really missing out, man.
That's a fucking great era.
I know they're great, and I loveso my so many movies from that
era that I just keep going backto some to re-watch over and
over.
Because I never get tired of it.
SPEAKER_02 (27:02):
And and I understand that.
I do, and I see why Final StSpinal Tap is a great movie.
I'm giving it I'm giving it athree out of five, not because
of lack of quality, because forquality I would give it a four
and a half out of five.
It's just mixed in with mypersonal bias of of being it my
style film.
(27:22):
I'd reduce it to a three.
So I'd give it the I'd give itthe average, let's say a three
and a half out of five.
SPEAKER_00 (27:28):
My bias gives it a five out of five.
I've seen this movie tenbazillion times, quoted it with
my family countless times.
So many jokes just always get alaugh out of me, no matter how
many times I've seen it.
I've listened to the songs fromsometimes on Spotify.
(27:49):
I'll just listen to the songs.
On Spotify?
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (27:51):
Oh fuck yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (27:52):
100%.
I'll put it on later.
SPEAKER_00 (27:53):
I'll put it on tomorrow.
I'll listen to Big Bottomfucking a million times.
And tonight I'm gonna rock youand Stonehenge.
They actually are good songs,even though they it's the lyrics
are shit, but the songs arepretty good.
Yeah, like it's the same withWalk Hard, another great film
where it's making fun of themusic industry and stuff.
(28:18):
Yeah, you have all these likefunny songs lyrically, but this
they sound really great as well.
And John C.
Riley can actually sing, yeah,which helps.
It does.
He's got a great voice.
So yeah, five out of five.
I mean, it's just classic.
You can't go wrong with SpinalTap, honestly.
It's I can watch it any mood I'min and always find something new
(28:44):
to enjoy about it.
And it just takes you back to asimple time where like it didn't
have to be 10 million likeover-the-top fucking jokes
thrown at you, but you couldappreciate jokes being set up
for like a really long setup fora huge payoff.
SPEAKER_01 (29:05):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (29:05):
Whereas like nowadays no one has the
attention span or the patience,so they can't handle that.
It's just gonna be set up joke,setup joke, setup joke straight
away.
Yeah, no, I agree.
If you haven't seen Spinal Tap,what the fuck are you doing with
your life?
Like, go out and watch it.
Yeah.
(29:25):
And we will definitely watch thesecond movie and give you our
review for that.
So that's us, guys.
Movie's worth seeing.
Please like, share, andsubscribe for more videos like
this.
Until next time, peace.
Hey everyone, and welcome to Movies Worth Seeing.
Today we're doing something abit different, and we're going
to talk about a classic film,Spinal Tap.
Addie had never seen thisbefore.
I've seen this a million times.
I love Spinal Tap.
And with the sequel coming out,I thought, what better time to
rewatch the original?
And tonight we did it.
(00:50):
Addie, as a first-time viewer,what did you think of Spinal
Tap?
SPEAKER_02 (00:55):
It was funny, not what I expected.
It is typically 80s and it'stypically British.
SPEAKER_00 (01:01):
What do you mean though, like when you're like
typically British?
Like what's that supposed tomean?
SPEAKER_02 (01:07):
What is that supposed to mean?
It's just super dry humor.
Yeah.
Slow like in the 80s.
It is clay card jokes that arerefreshingly surfacey.
Like they're they're not tryingto force any deeper meaning in
things that are not needed.
They're not going into complexthat they're not going into
complex characters.
They're simple characters.
(01:29):
Very simple characters.
And a relative relatively simplesituation.
Not simple, it's high stakes,but it's simple because it's not
complex.
Emotionally, spiritually, allthat kind of stuff.
SPEAKER_00 (01:44):
It's just a band that's really like stupid.
Shit.
Yeah.
Or a band that used to be good,but is just declined and has
gotten smaller fan base and isstruggling to make a final tour
work.
SPEAKER_02 (02:01):
And then make the stupider decision, the stupidest
decisions you could ever make.
Yeah.
It's just like and even belowaverage IQ person would still
question their choices.
And it's funny what you weresaying is that actual rock
artists came to them and waslike, oh, that was actually a
really good documentary.
SPEAKER_03 (02:19):
Did that really happen?
SPEAKER_00 (02:20):
Yeah, I can totally see like Ozzy Osborne, Rest in
Peace, or like any of thoselegendary rock stars just coming
up to them and being like, Man,like the way you conveyed what
we go through as musicians, man,that was beautiful.
That was beautiful.
And it is kind of funny becauseSpinal Tap were the originators
(02:43):
of the Black album, and thenMetallica ended up making the
Black album uh one of their mostcontroversial albums.
So it is funny in a way thatreal musicians, real rockers
would get ideas from Spinal Tap.
SPEAKER_02 (03:03):
Yeah, which is that's what I'm saying.
It's refreshingly simple.
And you can see in a film, youcan recognize trends that they
set that early on.
Like, for example, the BlackAlbum, but also for future
films.
Like they made so manyreferences that I'm like, hey,
wait a second.
Oh actually, no, this was madebefore.
Thinking about it, uh, what wasit?
(03:23):
What was it?
There were there were like twoor three moments where like
that's exactly copied in laterfilms.
It's like certain sayings,certain phrases.
Fuck, sorry, I don't remember.
It's okay, we'll come back toit.
SPEAKER_00 (03:35):
Let's play a fun game.
Top five favorite moments fromSpin on Tap.
Number five, eleven.
Yeah, the amp going to eleven.
SPEAKER_02 (03:43):
Amp going to it's like trying to talk logic into
such a dumb person.
SPEAKER_00 (03:51):
I just love the pause afterwards of like, well,
why don't you make 10 louder andjust make that the loudest?
These go to 11.
Like it's just it's perfecttiming.
It's perfect timing.
Yeah, great moment.
Love it, referenced a lot.
Yeah.
So then I'd love to know if likeheaps of um like if guitar
(04:17):
places ended up designing ampsto go to 11, if that became like
a hot thing to do after themovie, like ah fuck, now we've
got to go to 11 instead of 10.
Yeah, yeah.
Cool.
So that's number five.
I'd say number four is the metaldetector scene.
SPEAKER_03 (04:36):
Oh, that is so hilarious because it was set up
so much earlier as well.
SPEAKER_02 (04:40):
We're good, armadillos in our pants, and
then he pulls out a cucumber andfoil.
Like, why do foil?
Yeah, I didn't why why why doyou have to wrap it in foil?
SPEAKER_00 (04:50):
Like, I also love like Harry Shearer's delivery as
he's trying really hard to avoidhaving to do it, having to
expose his armadillo by youknow, uh the security guards
just probing more on like, doyou have artificial limbs or
(05:10):
anything?
And she's like, and he's he'slike, no, not that I know of.
Like, and then finally, all theguys are in the background,
like, yeah, just do it, just doit.
And he just pulls out a yeah,love it.
SPEAKER_02 (05:25):
I thought he would have like nipple piercings or
something like that, yeah.
Well, then she went down, it'slike, oh, he probably has like a
dick piercing.
She's gonna have to show a dickand then like pull it out or
something like that.
But then he just flips out thefucking armadillo.
Size thick.
He takes out a cute.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (05:42):
Number three, what would number three be?
Stonehenge.
I think Stonehenge.
Stonehenge was Stonehenge is agreat moment because there's so
much setup that goes into it andit's paid off beautifully.
There's so many jokes that arepaid off of this setup of just
them trying their best to.
(06:04):
I mean, first you've got thejoke that this this long-lasting
joke where it's like this bandwill focus on everything but the
music.
Yeah.
Like the music is the the lastthing they think to improve.
So they think, oh, let's improvethe stage presentation.
Okay.
We'll get first they were gonnadress up as animals, and then
(06:27):
they were like, no, let's doStonehenge.
So one of them draws it on anapkin, and then the prop, the
prop lady designs Stonehenge,but designs it as like 18 inch
instead of 18 feet.
SPEAKER_02 (06:44):
And I was really wondering how I thought that
that's hilarious that thathappened.
But then I'm naive and expectingthe characters to be smarter
than they actually are, and Ithought, they gotta work with it
somehow.
Like, maybe like a put in thefront of the stage and like cast
a big shadow or something likethat to make it look bigger than
it actually is.
It just drop an 18-inchStonehenge figurine at the top
(07:09):
and get dwarfs to dance around.
SPEAKER_00 (07:12):
And the way it's like lowered down in the
background is just so perfect.
SPEAKER_02 (07:17):
But the thing is, we're all blindsided by it
either, because they hadn't seenit before.
Yeah, they didn't know.
SPEAKER_00 (07:24):
Fuck is that and also the manager like Ian
thinking to himself, like, oh,this will fuck it.
Let's just do it and I'll dealwith it later.
And afterwards, just being like,oh well, you know, like what are
you gonna do?
You you move on, kind of thing.
You just roll with it.
SPEAKER_02 (07:42):
And then they have this big fight about it in the
in the in in the in the greenroom afterwards, and then Ian
quits, the pr the productionmanager, he quits, and then you
have the the bass player.
Derek.
Derek.
I've got to ask a uh I can't dothe bridge texts right now.
I'm gonna ask a practicalquestion.
SPEAKER_00 (08:00):
Practical question are we gonna do Stonehenge
tomorrow?
No, we're not fucking doingStonehenge tomorrow.
No, we're not gonna fucking doStonehenge.
SPEAKER_02 (08:11):
It's great.
It's it's great.
Brilliant.
Number two, direct lyrics fromone of their songs.
She has baby teeth.
She's too young, and I'm toohung.
Something like that.
SPEAKER_00 (08:26):
Fucking hell.
SPEAKER_02 (08:27):
Like, and it's just in a climactic moment of the
whole thing where they're justthe reunion of the singers.
It's like it's such a hardproblem.
It's like come back on stage.
Oh, from tonight I'm gonna rockyou.
Yes.
Tonight I'm gonna rock you.
SPEAKER_01 (08:40):
Like, I think a lot of the what?
SPEAKER_02 (08:44):
So bad.
You shouldn't you could never dothat these days.
Oh god.
But it was a goal.
It was gold slide in joke.
It was so good.
SPEAKER_00 (08:56):
It's also like that like sex farm.
Like just what the fuck?
And I I love that bit at themilitary base when they're just
like the the drill sergeant orwhatever is like, so if you guys
could just play some slownumbers and then it's just a
jump cut.
(09:19):
Gold.
Gold.
And number one for me sandwich.
SPEAKER_02 (09:24):
Yeah, the sandwich, the bread.
It's an iconic scene.
I've seen that scene before,even though I've never seen
Spinal Tap.
I've seen that scene.
SPEAKER_00 (09:30):
So just the fact that you knew the scene means
it's transcended because youknew the scene before you knew
the movie it came about.
Yeah, exactly.
Brilliant.
I mean, like as we were talkingabout, it's just the perfect
combination of shots, acting,everything is just so perfect in
(09:52):
that one scene.
You've got a musiciancomplaining about the stupidest
shit while his band is likeabsolutely in the toilet, and
there couldn't be more worsethings going on.
Gigs and con gigs are gettingcancelled left and right, but
(10:12):
yet for some reason, Nigel feelslike he needs to make this
complaint about the food.
SPEAKER_02 (10:20):
But again, it's just a below average person could use
enough logic to make thisproblem gone.
You can rip the piece of meat,or you can just fold it, and
characters just can't put twoand two together.
SPEAKER_00 (10:35):
Well, that's one of the best parts when Ian is
saying to Nigel, like, well, whywould you keep folding it
though?
Because he just keeps foldingthe bread with the salami and
the close-up shots of him justfolding it.
SPEAKER_03 (10:52):
You know why I know this scene?
SPEAKER_02 (10:55):
Because I think there is a blooper of this
scene.
I if I remember correctly, maybeI could be completely wrong and
then cut this whole bit out.
I think there's a blooper ofthis scene.
Like they keep trying to do it,and they it's it's a it's
filming about it's a littledocumentary thing about making
this scene.
And they keep on cracking upbecause it's such a stupid
(11:16):
scene.
It's so funny.
But yeah, I think I've seenthat.
Okay.
I think I've seen that.
That's where I know it from.
SPEAKER_00 (11:22):
Yeah, number one's the the bread.
Definitely for me.
I love the stone-faced Anne.
Anne's facial expressions oflike, are you for real?
Is this really what we're gonnatalk about right now?
Fucking bread.
But then he has to still comfortNigel and be like, Look, look, I
(11:43):
don't want this to ruin yourperformance.
I'm a professional.
Oh, rise above it.
I'm a professional.
Yes, yeah, brilliant.
SPEAKER_02 (11:50):
Great.
We have a couple of honorablementions though.
For moments, yeah.
For moments are hilarious.
Trying to play a guitar with theviolin just stood out to me.
It was just so fucking dumb.
And then tuned the violin to goagain.
unknown (12:03):
It's like what?
SPEAKER_02 (12:05):
Another one is them getting lost in the backstage
and like a full circle.
And I'm like, this guy getsfucked.
Wrong turn, let's go back.
And then one more is just theintroduction to all the
characters where you seen Ithink it's Nigel.
Nigel's one of the long hair,the one that quits the band.
Yeah, it's tough.
(12:25):
You see him just like on thestage, like with his tongue.
How the fuck did he do that?
It's just like that that littlescene where you see the four of
them together just playing theguitar, it just depicted every
character exactly what you canexpect from them for the rest of
the film.
I thought that was really welldone.
Fucking hilarious.
(12:47):
You have four complete idiotsnext to each other, but they're
all four different idiots.
Yeah.
I would I would classify thosethree as honorable mentions.
Didn't make the top five, butreally good.
How about this?
SPEAKER_00 (12:56):
Top five quotes.
SPEAKER_02 (12:58):
Okay.
SPEAKER_00 (12:59):
I got one.
Are you right?
Should we do it together?
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Alright, I I think number five,less mime, more money.
That's such an underrated mimeis money.
Sorry, mime is money.
Mime is mum.
Come on, come on, don't talkback.
Mime is money.
It's such an underrated line,and it's so clever.
Like, why are there mimesserving food?
(13:22):
It's brilliant.
And the fact that Billy Crystalis the mime, like knowing what
he would go on to become.
Great.
It's a great quote.
And it yeah, it always gets achuckle out of me, no matter how
many times I've heard it.
Number four, these go to 11.
Yeah.
Oh, but I also love when Nigelis showing off all of his
(13:45):
guitars, and he's like, oh, youknow, looking at it.
This guitar's still got the oldtagger on it, you know, it's
never even been played.
And he's arguing with thedirector.
Don't don't touch it.
Well, I'm touching it.
I'm just pointing at it.
I wasn't.
I was just I was just pointingat it.
Don't point at it.
Well, don't point.
All right.
You've seen enough of that one,yeah?
Yeah, don't even look at it.
(14:06):
Let's move on.
SPEAKER_02 (14:08):
Number three.
I'm gonna restate my quad frombefore.
What?
She has baby teeth, she's tooyoung, and I'm too hung.
It's it it caught it blindsidedme.
It caught me off guard.
SPEAKER_00 (14:22):
I think Big Bottom is a lyrical masterpiece.
Oh yes.
Talk about mud flaps, my girlsgot 'em.
It's just brilliant.
I've never heard such lyricalpoetry.
I think one Shakespeare would beproud.
One quote that really stands outto me is um, you know, oh well,
(14:46):
what do you call this beautifulkind of arrangement you've made?
And it's like, oh, this iscalled lick my love pump.
SPEAKER_02 (14:57):
Just lick my love.
SPEAKER_00 (15:01):
It's a mark piece.
Lick my love pump.
SPEAKER_02 (15:04):
Fuck yeah.
Again, blindsided, did notexpect that.
Yeah, yeah, they're setting upthis beautiful.
The thing that made that is sobeautiful in this film is that
they every time they set up thismoment where you feel these
characters are gonna rise abovethe situation, actually show
like a bit more complexity totheir personality.
(15:29):
Every time, I don't know aboutyou, but every time I fell for
it.
Like, for example, it's likethis guy's like you had a D
minor, it's the saddest note youcan play, and it just brings
everybody to tears.
SPEAKER_03 (15:41):
Yeah, it's a musical musical trilogy.
Yeah, it's like Beethoven andBuck.
How do you what what are yougonna call it?
Lick my love button.
SPEAKER_00 (15:55):
I think that's the brilliance of Spinal Tap is so
many jokes are just given somuch setup that you're just
hanging off, like wondering likewhat where is this going?
And then they just they just getyou so well with the with the
payoff with the punchline.
Yeah, yeah, especially like itwas such a treat watching you
(16:19):
see it for the first timebecause I'm thinking to myself,
like, uh this punchline's gonnaget you so hard because you you
don't know where it's gone.
And I saw it with that one,that's why I liked it.
Fuck, number one, hmm.
You know what?
I'm probably gonna go with Ianand Janine and Bobby.
(16:43):
Bobby?
Who's Bobby?
Bobby Fleckman.
So they're having a conversationabout the album cover, and he's
saying to her, why can't whycan't we do the album cover?
Like, what's the big deal?
And then Bobby just goes throughand is like, Ian, like, you put
a naked, greased up woman, andshe's got a leash on all fours,
(17:08):
and a guy's shoving his handinto her face to smell the
glass.
SPEAKER_02 (17:15):
I really thought that sentence was gonna go to
the other side.
SPEAKER_00 (17:18):
Shoved his hand in her face.
And like, uh, okay.
Well, the other part was like,after you hear this horrible
description of what the albumcover was, Ian just going like,
oh, you you should have heardthe album they wanted to do.
My Jesus.
SPEAKER_02 (17:35):
I love I love how they got came back to that
later, too.
When they came across the othermusic, the other musician, the
other Wanker, we had who did asimilar thing on his and on his
album cover.
It's like, why can't he do that?
Because he did it to himself.
Like, oh he was the victim.
SPEAKER_03 (17:56):
He was the victim.
Their objection was she was thevictim.
Yeah, but he was the victim.
See, it's a very clever twist.
There's a very fine line betweenclever and stupid.
Yeah, it's just shut the fuckup.
SPEAKER_00 (18:10):
I like that they they take that moment to be
like, oh, blah, like, oh, wemissed that.
Like, we could have done that.
Oh, yeah.
It eclipsed us.
It was so it was so clever.
We should have thought of that.
SPEAKER_02 (18:25):
They're all like in awe of it and just I wish they
they showed you the album covertoo.
Show it.
SPEAKER_00 (18:32):
I think it's funnier that they didn't show the album
cover.
SPEAKER_02 (18:36):
Because then it can only disappoint.
Because the imagination of it isso good.
SPEAKER_00 (18:40):
Yeah, uh, like hearing Bobby just describe it,
you're just like, oh my god.
How much further is this gonnago?
SPEAKER_02 (18:46):
Yeah.
Because that's right.
You should have seen the albumcovered at one or two.
It wasn't a glove.
SPEAKER_00 (18:56):
Yeah.
Oh, so funny.
Honorable mention also has to goto one of the best critic
reviews of um Spinal Taps music.
Marty, the the director, justsets it up perfectly.
I've got this critic review foryour album Shark Sandwich.
Shark Sandwich.
It's simply a two-word review.
(19:19):
Just says shit sandwich.
They're like, what?
No way.
No, we can't say that.
That's not real.
Where'd they print that?
Where'd they print that?
Yeah, that's that that's thatcrack you cracked up on that
one.
I always crack up on thatbecause I just think it's so
fucking funny.
SPEAKER_02 (19:38):
Shit sandwich, that's one of them.
That's actually one of thosequotes I was thinking.
It's like, it's such a quote youhear every everywhere now.
Shit sandwich.
Like it's it's a sales term.
Or like not a sales term, it's auh a teaching method, a shit
sandwich.
You give them something good,something to work on, and then
something good again.
It's called you call it a shitsandwich when you teach someone,
right?
I just like ah, but did theycome up with that?
(20:01):
It's just I don't know.
It's kind of it's an analogythat that that I'd never heard
before outside that context.
It's like a shit sandwich.
SPEAKER_00 (20:09):
I also find the setup really funny.
Like, why the fuck did you makean album called Shark Sandwich?
Like, what the fuck does thateven mean?
And then they show the albumcover for it and it's a shark
swimming in a sandwich.
It's just like shark fits comingout of it on top.
How has no one done that yet asan actual album?
(20:30):
That's the that's the realquestion that we need to ask
ourselves is it's right there.
It's right there, and no one'sdone it.
SPEAKER_02 (20:38):
It's already copyrighted now.
SPEAKER_00 (20:40):
Potentially.
SPEAKER_02 (20:41):
Another honorable mention is that there have been
37 members on this band.
It's just like, what?
And they're all like besides thethree originals, like most of
the drums.
They're all the drummers.
Yeah.
And then at the very end, youjust see the drummer explode,
(21:02):
and a new drummer with a newtitle rocks up.
It's like, what?
And then you see him explodeagain in the background.
It's just like, that's 39.
That's hilarious.
SPEAKER_00 (21:12):
Also, the interview with the drummer just been like,
oh, you know that like being adrummer means that you're
probably gonna die.
Yes, law of average.
Well, like I knew it was gonnahappen.
It's gonna happen someday.
So I I just you know, I just gowith it.
SPEAKER_02 (21:28):
And then the interview was like, Yeah, but
law of average is so it'sprobably not gonna be you, it's
not gonna happen.
It's like, no, no, you're right.
Law of average is not gonna uhuh says I'm gonna be fine.
Yeah.
Being number 37.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (21:41):
So after watching Spinal Tap, would you definitely
watch Spinal Tap 2?
SPEAKER_02 (21:48):
I am curious to watch it.
I I I I I thought it was funny,but I've never been a big fan of
movies from like before the thethe 2000.
It's really yeah, I've neverbeen a big fan of them.
It's just like I can laugh aboutthem.
Don't get me wrong, like if wewatched the original Naked Gun,
it it'd be hilarious.
But it's just such a differentstyle of films that I've never
(22:10):
been really into.
I'm actually really curiousabout what Spinal Tap 2 will
have to offer.
Are they gonna follow the samestructure of dry British humor
that fits within that same era?
Or are they gonna translate itto modern style humor?
SPEAKER_00 (22:25):
Yeah.
And will it work?
Yeah, I'm always curious to knowlike what jokes they'll try to
still pull off.
How many callbacks they'll do,you know, like is it just gonna
be Happy Gilmore 2, where everysingle joke is just this is what
we did in the original, andwe're doing it again.
(22:47):
In the trailer, I did enjoylittle things like seeing them
talking to drummers about likejoining the band and and all
these really famous drummers.
So all these famous drummerslike appearing and and spinal
taps trying to ask them, like,hey, would you join the band?
And they're just like, I don'twant to die.
Yeah, yeah.
(23:07):
So that's clever.
Yeah.
What do you rate it out of five,Addy?
What does a classic like spinaltap get out of five?
Or do you go up to eleven?
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
I'm gonna rate it a six out offive.
SPEAKER_02 (23:22):
My gut tells me a three out of five.
Oh damn.
Yeah, my gut tells me a threeout of five, but it's very
biased in the sense that mytaste does not line movies from
the 80s.
Yeah.
Right?
I always struggle, just I'm morefor the vibrant colors.
And everything from the 80s isstill like a bit of a grey tone,
less quality, and I want like asuper sharp images.
(23:44):
And and it gives me a bit of itgives a complete different
feeling.
SPEAKER_00 (23:47):
There's so many colorful movies from the 80s.
SPEAKER_02 (23:49):
Yeah, but it's all there's always a great skill
just because it was on film, itwasn't Kodak.
And it gives a different film.
And I Jeez, Tarantino would hateyou.
Oh, you can hate me all youwant, I don't care, but just
kidding, Quinton, you and I arebuddies.
Come to Tel Aviv.
Well, uh we'll celebratetogether, huh?
He lives in Tel Aviv.
SPEAKER_01 (24:07):
Does he?
I think not Tel Aviv.
Yeah, in Tel Aviv.
Yeah, he lives there.
Why?
He has an Israeli wife.
unknown (24:13):
Really?
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (24:14):
She's hot?
SPEAKER_02 (24:15):
I'm so curious now.
No, she is she is she'sbeautiful.
My dad is like you can they'reon the street, a lot of them in
Tel Aviv.
You can just spot him.
If he's not traveling around theworld making films.
SPEAKER_00 (24:25):
She's 41.
Ah.
Yeah, she's wow, she's reallyhot.
Obviously.
She's 41.
How old is he?
He is not 40.
60?
Well done.
SPEAKER_02 (24:36):
Be famous.
Have a lot of money.
And a lot of women will fall foryou.
Not all, but a lot will.
SPEAKER_00 (24:43):
He's never married before.
SPEAKER_01 (24:44):
Well, she's his first wife.
SPEAKER_00 (24:46):
Good for him.
You have kids, right?
I'm so sick of hearing aboutlike celebs that fucking get
married 10 million times.
SPEAKER_02 (24:52):
Oh, it's just stupid.
SPEAKER_00 (24:53):
Like, if it didn't work the first time, like just
fucking let it go.
SPEAKER_02 (24:58):
Well, it's not that.
It's just the more modernculture that just lost integrity
and acts on impulses.
Yeah.
They have a feeling and theywant to connect to it.
And it's just like, no.
Like, Quinton's a bit older.
He has a little bit more of a uha traditional sense of
commitment to family.
(25:19):
And it's just like, no, cool.
You you find out if this is theright person for you and you
commit, fully commit to them,and you don't just act on your
impulse, on the emotion of themoment.
It's like, yeah, you're sureyour puppy love for like a few
months.
Three months, that's your puppylove.
But a lot of those celebritiesalready get in a full committed
relationship, but sometimes evenget married within the three
months.
SPEAKER_01 (25:37):
And it's just like come to Funk Town.
Or even time to sign a fuckingprint up.
SPEAKER_00 (25:42):
You know what I mean?
Sorry?
SPEAKER_02 (25:46):
Some some of them fucking get married within a
week.
Well, if you're in L if ifyou're in LA, you can do it.
Las Vegas, sorry, you can do it.
Who gives a fuck?
Yeah, so but that aside.
So your Quentin's gonna hit me.
Your final rating on Spinal Tap.
Three out of five.
That's right, just because it'snot my vibe.
I like it these days when it'sintentional, but for back in
(26:10):
that era of filmmaking, itwasn't intentional on Kodak.
There was just no other option.
It was film or it was nothing.
Now you have the option.
So when you decide to go forcodec, you do it for certain
aesthetic experiences.
And Christopher Nolan is a bigfan of that.
Though I really dislikedOppenheimer.
Some of his other films on film.
I do like it.
So it's not necessarily thefilm, it's just the gray skills
(26:31):
that and and and the lack ofability in preservation of
quality.
It's such a weird reason to givea three out of four.
No, no, no.
It's a classic movie.
The whole thing just adds to thereason why I'm not into films
from the 80s, 90s.
SPEAKER_00 (26:46):
You're really missing out, man.
That's a fucking great era.
I know they're great, and I loveso my so many movies from that
era that I just keep going backto some to re-watch over and
over.
Because I never get tired of it.
SPEAKER_02 (27:02):
And and I understand that.
I do, and I see why Final StSpinal Tap is a great movie.
I'm giving it I'm giving it athree out of five, not because
of lack of quality, because forquality I would give it a four
and a half out of five.
It's just mixed in with mypersonal bias of of being it my
style film.
(27:22):
I'd reduce it to a three.
So I'd give it the I'd give itthe average, let's say a three
and a half out of five.
SPEAKER_00 (27:28):
My bias gives it a five out of five.
I've seen this movie tenbazillion times, quoted it with
my family countless times.
So many jokes just always get alaugh out of me, no matter how
many times I've seen it.
I've listened to the songs fromsometimes on Spotify.
(27:49):
I'll just listen to the songs.
On Spotify?
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (27:51):
Oh fuck yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (27:52):
100%.
I'll put it on later.
SPEAKER_00 (27:53):
I'll put it on tomorrow.
I'll listen to Big Bottomfucking a million times.
And tonight I'm gonna rock youand Stonehenge.
They actually are good songs,even though they it's the lyrics
are shit, but the songs arepretty good.
Yeah, like it's the same withWalk Hard, another great film
where it's making fun of themusic industry and stuff.
(28:18):
Yeah, you have all these likefunny songs lyrically, but this
they sound really great as well.
And John C.
Riley can actually sing, yeah,which helps.
It does.
He's got a great voice.
So yeah, five out of five.
I mean, it's just classic.
You can't go wrong with SpinalTap, honestly.
It's I can watch it any mood I'min and always find something new
(28:44):
to enjoy about it.
And it just takes you back to asimple time where like it didn't
have to be 10 million likeover-the-top fucking jokes
thrown at you, but you couldappreciate jokes being set up
for like a really long setup fora huge payoff.
SPEAKER_01 (29:05):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (29:05):
Whereas like nowadays no one has the
attention span or the patience,so they can't handle that.
It's just gonna be set up joke,setup joke, setup joke straight
away.
Yeah, no, I agree.
If you haven't seen Spinal Tap,what the fuck are you doing with
your life?
Like, go out and watch it.
Yeah.
(29:25):

review for that.
