'This Is Spinal Tap' Director Reveals 'Stranger Things' Iconic Needle Drop as Inspiration for Upcoming Sequel

It's been more than 40 years since Rob Reiner debuted in cinema with the rock mockumentary comedy This is Spinal Tap. The original film focused on a famous rock band's meltdown after rising to fame, as told from the perspective of its over-the-top and hilarious members. After decades of fans pleading for a sequel, Reiner has decided to reunite Spinal Tap. Enough time has passed for new anecdotes to be included in the mockumentary sequel. However, the director has revealed that he was inspired to make it after witnessing another major cultural phenomenon: the resurgence of singer Kate Bush after her best song was heavily featured in the Netflix series Stranger Things.
