S2E2: Spinal Tap The End Continues (2025)

S2E2: Spinal Tap The End Continues (2025)

A comeback tour for the ages. Welcome to Lights, Camera, Remake, the podcast constantly on the search for originality, or at least a reason for all the remakes. It's also a podcast where a song about butts may have broken one of the podcasters and the other has strong feelings about brown M&Ms. We continue our look at the mockumentary/rockumentary about 80s rockers Spinal Tap. Almost 40 years after the original came out, director Rob Reiner and the actors reunited to bring back the band… and gain recognition for their creation.  Spinal Tap: The End Continues (2025) IMDB Description: Spinal Tap, one of England's loudest bands, is chronicled by film director Marty DiBergi on what proves to be a fateful tour. *** On each episode we look at remakes, sequels and more to answer the age old question “Has Hollywood run out of ideas?” Your Podcast hosts: Bridget LaMonica @BridgetLaMonica Erica Strout @stroutocaster Follow the show on Spotify!  Mailbag: Podcast movie suggestions and comments can be sent to: ⁠lightscameraremake@gmail.com⁠.  Obligatory Socials: Instagram⁠⁠⁠ @⁠lightscameraremakepodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bridget’s website:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠www.bridgetlamonica.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://www.bridgetlamonica.com] Erica's band: gorgeousbeast.bandcamp.com Sources: Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Spinal Tap II: The End Continues amazon.com/product-reviews/B0FRXJ9XVD/ref=acr_dp_hist_1?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&reviewerType=all_reviews#reviews-filter-bar This Is Spinal Tap/Production | Moviepedia | Fandom movies.fandom.com/wiki/This_Is_Spinal_Tap/Production The Untold Truth Of Spinal Tap www.grunge.com/854298/the-untold-truth-of-spinal-tap/ #spinaltap #thisisspinaltap #michaelmckean #christopherguest #harryshearer #robreiner #rockumentary #classicrock

S2E1: This is Spinal Tap (1984)

In order to begin our newest season of the podcast, we gotta turn this thing up to 11. Welcome to Lights, Camera, Remake, the podcast constantly on the search for originality, or at least a reason for all the remakes. It's also a podcast where a song about butts may have broken one of the podcasters and the other has strong feelings about brown M&Ms. This time, we look at the mockumentary/rockumentary about 80s rockers Spinal Tap on their comeback tour. And next episode, we’ll look at the 2025 follow-up: Spinal Tap II: The End Continues. This is Spinal Tap (1984) IMDB Description:  Spinal Tap, one of England's loudest bands, is chronicled by film director Marty DiBergi on what proves to be a fateful tour. *** On each episode we look at remakes, sequels and more to answer the age old question “Has Hollywood run out of ideas?” Your Podcast hosts: Bridget LaMonica @BridgetLaMonica Erica Strout @stroutocaster Follow the show on Spotify!  Mailbag: Podcast movie suggestions and comments can be sent to: ⁠lightscameraremake@gmail.com⁠.  Obligatory Socials: Instagram⁠⁠⁠ @⁠lightscameraremakepodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bridget’s website: ⁠⁠⁠www.bridgetlamonica.com⁠⁠⁠ [http://www.bridgetlamonica.com] Erica's band: gorgeousbeast.bandcamp.com Sources: Spinal Tap 1 star reviews:  Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Spinal Tap II: The End Continues [https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B0FRXJ9XVD/ref=acr_dp_hist_1?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&reviewerType=all_reviews#reviews-filter-bar] The Untold Truth Of Spinal Tap https://www.grunge.com/854298/the-untold-truth-of-spinal-tap/ [https://www.grunge.com/854298/the-untold-truth-of-spinal-tap/] This Is Spinal Tap/Production | Moviepedia | Fandom [https://movies.fandom.com/wiki/This_Is_Spinal_Tap/Production] https://movies.fandom.com/wiki/This_Is_Spinal_Tap/Production In Character: Spinal Tap Read Your Letterboxd Reviews of This Is Spinal Tap [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srtceDdqfYs&t=1s]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srtceDdqfYs&t=1sead Your Letterboxd Reviews of This Is Spinal Tap [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srtceDdqfYs&t=1s] #spinaltap #thisisspinaltap #michaelmckean #christopherguest #harryshearer#robreiner #rockumentary #classicrock

Bonus Episode: Bad Movie, Good Soundtrack

A listener suggestion! We take a look at movies whose soundtrack far surpassed their plot. These are bad movies with good soundtracks. This will surely be a divisive topic. Remember this is just opinion! And we appreciate all movies, big and small, indie and blockbuster, samurai and Stephen King adaptation. Welcome to Lights, Camera, Remake, where we try to determine whether Hollywood has truly run out of ideas. *** On each episode we’ll look at a movie and its remake, or sometimes a movie and its sequel, to determine if Hollywood rehashed it for a reason or for a cash grab.

Episode 27: Freaky Friday (2003) Part 2 of 2

Wrapping up our Freaky Friday two-parter! We covered the original Freaky Friday on Episode 25. (There was a Christmas and a bonus episode that broke things up. Our bad.) Welcome to Lights, Camera, Remake, where we try to determine whether Hollywood has truly run out of ideas. Sometimes that means doing body switch movies. Over. and over. And over again! IMDB Description: Dr. Tess Coleman and her daughter, Anna, do not get along with each other. However, things take a turn when, in a freak accident, they switch bodies and are forced to live each other's lives. Disney + Description: A mother and daughter see things a bit differently when they switch bodies. *** On each episode we’ll look at a movie and its remake, or sometimes a movie and its sequel, to determine if Hollywood rehashed it for a reason or for a cash grab.
