“Estranged bandmates David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls are forced to reunite for one final concert,” reads the official synopsis of the sequel. “Spinal Tap II: The End Continues also marks the return of documentarian Marty Di Bergi, who once again tries to capture his favorite metal gods as they contemplate mortality, hoping that their 12th drummer doesn’t join them in The Great Beyond. Spinal Tap wrestles with their checkered past to put on a concert that they hope will solidify their place in the pantheon of rock ‘n’ roll.”
