“Hey all you groovy headbangers…” Shut up, sit down, and watch the movie! Alamo Drafthouse has posted a funny “Don’t Talk, Don’t Text” PSA for the upcoming Spinal Tap II: The End Continues movie featuring the old rockers all together. The long-awaited mockumentary rock doc sequel is hitting theaters in September – watch the full trailer here. Drafthouse got the band together to make this video, which plays before the movie to remind people attending the movie of their rules: no talking, no texting, no disturbances or you’ll be kicked out. For real. Still the best policy for all movie theaters nowadays! The entire cast rock band is back for more mayhem 40 years later after the original This is Spinal Tap doc, as they reunite and deal with all their grudges from the past. Spinal Tap II: The End Continues is once again directed by Rob Reiner, with Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer reprising their iconic roles as the legendary heavy metal band Spinal Tap. We also posted other Alamo Drafthouse PSA videos featuring John Lithgow & Geoffrey Rush here, and with Kyle Mooney from last year. As cheesy as these videos are to watch, I’m glad they keep making them to remind people how to properly sit & watch movies with no phone.
You can rewatch the official trailer for Spinal Tap II: The End Continues right here for some actual footage.
This Is Spinal Tap was released to critical acclaim in 1984 and went on to become a cult classic. In 2002, it was deemed “culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant” by the Library of Congress, and was selected for preservation by the National Film Registry. Conceived by rockers Guest, McKean, Reiner, and Shearer, Spinal Tap II follows England’s loudest and most punctual band, as they reunite after a 15-year hiatus for one final concert. On the 40th anniversary of the original film, the sequel to the legendary rock mockumentary that put the film company on a run of success. Spinal Tap II: The End Continues is once again directed by iconic American filmmaker Rob Reiner, director of many classics like Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men, The Story of Us, plus docs the original This Is Spinal Tap, I Am Your Child, and Albert Brooks: Defending My Life most recently. The screenplay is by Christopher Guest & Michael McKean & Rob Reiner & Harry Shearer. Produced by Rob Reiner, Michele Reiner and Matthew George; financed by Castle Rock Entertainment. Bleecker Street opens Reiner’s Spinal Tap II sequel in theaters nationwide on September 12th, 2025 coming up this fall. Ready to rock again?
