"This Is Spinal Tap" shines a light on the self-contained universe of a metal band struggling to get back on the charts, including everything from its complicated history of ups and downs, gold albums, name changes and undersold concert dates, along with the full host of requisite groupies, promoters, hangers-on and historians, sessions, release events and those special behind-the-scenes moments that keep it all real.

"When I first watched this back in my early teens I just did not get it. Mainly because I was unfamiliar with any of the source material that it satirizes; but also, rewatching it several times over the years following, I see that most of the comedy is so subtly woven in that it does take repeated viewings to catch it all. This is Spinal Tap is a movie I think I am still learning to appreciate, that I look forward to revisiting again."
