SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES Trailer Brings the Band Back for One More Hilarious Encore — GeekTyrant
The original film, directed by Rob Reiner, spoofed the wild excess and drama of rock bands in the 1980s, with Reiner playing a documentary filmmaker chronicling the fictional British metal band Spinal Tap on a chaotic North American tour.
The genius of the film came from its deadpan delivery and pitch-perfect satire of the era's music documentaries.
Now, over four decades later, Reiner is back in the director's chair, and in front of the camera, alongside Christopher Guest (Nigel Tufnel), Michael McKean (David St. Hubbins), and Harry Shearer (Derek Smalls). These guys are older, maybe wiser, but still hilariously out of touch in the best way possible.
The sequel catches up with the band as they prepare for a reunion concert in New Orleans, a gig they only landed because Stormy Daniels canceled. The trailer teases plenty of ridiculous band drama, questionable decisions, and yes, a killer cameo from Elton John jamming out with Spinal Tap.
The band is also facing one of their most notorious problems, drummers. In true Spinal Tap fashion, they're on the hunt for yet another one. The new footage suggests things haven't changed much for the guys, so expect disasters , meltdowns, and hilarious hijinks.
Spinal Tap II: The End Continues hits theaters on September 12, and it looks like this encore is going to be gloriously loud and completely ridiculous.

Is ‘Top Boy' returning for season 6? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 26, 2025, 20:30 IST Last updated July 26, 2025, 15:43 IST Fans of the gritty British crime drama Top Boy are buzzing with questions about whether the Summerhouse estate will return for a sixth season. After the explosive finale of Season 5, which Netflix labeled as the final chapter, speculation is rife about the show's future. Here's everything we know so far about Top Boy Season 6. Has Top Boy Season 6 Been Confirmed? As of now, Top Boy Season 6 has not been greenlit by Netflix. The streaming giant, along with the show's cast and creative team, confirmed that Season 5, which premiered on September 7, 2023, was intended to be the final chapter. In a joint statement, lead actors Ashley Walters (Dushane) and Kane Robinson (Sully) emphasized that 'every story must have an ending,' signaling their intent to wrap up the series after five seasons. The decision to end the show came primarily from the cast and creators, not Netflix, with Walters noting in a GQ interview that continuing indefinitely didn't feel right for the story's authenticity. Despite this, Netflix initially expressed interest in extending the series, but the creative team's desire to end on a high note prevailed. However, the door isn't entirely closed, as fan demand and unresolved storylines could pave the way for new developments. Why Did Top Boy Season 5 Feel Like the End? Warning: Spoilers for Top Boy Season 5 ahead! Season 5 delivered a definitive conclusion for the show's central characters, Dushane and Sully. Both met tragic ends, with Dushane succumbing to his injuries and Sully's fate sealed in a shocking finale. These conclusive endings make it unlikely for Ashley Walters and Kane Robinson to return as leads in a potential Season 6. The season tied up many loose ends, but it also left some questions unanswered, particularly the identity of Sully's shooter, which has fueled speculation about future stories. The show's creator, Ronan Bennett, and co-director William Stefan Smith have emphasized that ending after five seasons aligns with the British tradition of concluding shows early to maintain quality. This decision was echoed by actress Jasmine Jobson (Jaq), who told the Royal Television Society that ending the series was fitting given its heavy subject matter.

Southwest Airlines flight headed to Las Vegas takes dramatic plunge in response to nearby aircraft
LAS VEGAS — A Southwest Airline jet heading to Las Vegas from Southern California took a dramatic plunge shortly after takeoff Friday in response to an alert about a nearby plane, sending some passengers flying out of their seats and injuring two flight attendants. The plane suddenly jolted shortly after takeover then felt like it was falling, said Stef Zamorano, who was flying to Las Vegas with her husband to celebrate his birthday. In front of her, Zamorano saw a woman who wasn't wearing her seat belt shoot up and out of her seat, her long hair flying in a tangled mess. The man seated next to her was clutching her arm, and she said the woman across the aisle was panicking. 'She was pretty much verbalizing how we all felt, saying, 'I want to get off this plane. I want to be on the ground,' ' Zamorano told The Associated Press. Data from the flight tracking site FlightAware shows it dropped roughly 300 feet in 36 seconds. The Federal Aviation Administration said the flight, Southwest 1496, was responding to an onboard alert about another aircraft in its vicinity. The FAA is investigating. Southwest said the crew responded to two alerts that required the pilot to climb then descend. The flight departed from Hollywood Burbank Airport just before noon. Still in shock, Zamorano said she could hardly make out what the pilot was saying when he later addressed the passengers. Another passenger, comedian Jimmy Dore, posted on X that the pilot mentioned a near miss. 'Pilot said his collision warning went off & he needed to avoid plane coming at us,' Dore posted. The plane was in the same airspace near Burbank as a Hawker Hunter Mk. 58 just after noon local time, FlightAware shows. A Hawker Hunter is a British fighter plane. Records show it is owned by Hawker Hunter Aviation, a British defense contracting company. The company didn't immediately respond to messages seeking comment. Mike Christensen, an airport spokesman for Hollywood Burbank, said that neither the control tower nor the operations department, which tracks planes departing and arriving, have any record of the Southwest flight plunging in their airspace. Southwest said the flight continued to Las Vegas, 'where it landed uneventfully.' The airline said that it is working with the FAA 'to further understand the circumstances' of the event. This close call is just the latest incident to raise questions about aviation safety in the wake of January's midair collision over Washington, D.C., that killed 67 people.
