The creators of This Is Spinal Tap—Christopher Guest, Rob Reiner, Harry Shearer, and Michael McKean—have signed on for a reunion benefit to assist Democrats campaigning in the swing state of Pennsylvania. Patton Oswalt will moderate the event on Wednesday, October 14, which fans can access with a donation to Pennsylvania Democrats. Find more details here.
In 2018, Guest, Reiner, Shearer, and McKean reunited at the Tribeca Film Festival to celebrate the movie’s 35th anniversary. Shearer released an album as Spinal Tap bassist Derek Smalls titled Smalls Change (Meditations Upon Ageing) the same year. More recently, the Spinal Tap crew settled their three-year legal battle with a French media conglomerate over accusations of revenue witholding and fraud.
