Jews on Film: Exploring Jewish Stories & Themes in Cinema This is Spinal Tap w/ Yoshie Fruchter
In their season four debut, Harry and Daniel welcome musician extraordinaire Yoshie Fruchter to discuss "This is Spinal Tap,” the 1984 directorial debut from Rob Reiner.
They debate the introspective Jewishness of the mockumentary format, compare the travails of the band to those of the Jews lost in the desert, and crank things up to 11 as they celebrate they tow the line between stupid and clever!
As always, they close out the episode by ranking the film's "Jewishness" in terms of its cast & crew, content, and themes.
