Yankovic said in a statement. “And I am absolutely thrilled that Daniel Radcliffe will be portraying me in the film. I have no doubt whatsoever that this is the role future generations will remember him for.” Edited May 3, 2022 by Aguy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I'm cautiously optimistic. Also, for any fans of Weird Al, The New York Times printed an absolutely fascinating article about him in 2020. It's a fantastic read. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/09/magazine/weird-al-yankovic.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailorScoutMandy | 782 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I can see that. Daniel Radcliffe has done tons of werid movies and shows (young doctor notebook, horns, swiss army man), I think he can pull it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 5,079 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 It would be fun to be able to see the whole life story bit other than spread out interview tidbits in old publications and all that, if it stays true, as it would be a nice short entertaining watch with some shocking bits and good laughs. And since it's not netflix it won't get canceled and complained about almost immediately either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nesmaster14 | 464 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 This is out now on streaming (Roku, USA), saw it last night. I was a bit confused with Radcliffe portraying Weird Al when the trailer announced, but I think he did a great performance after all. It's a fun watch. If I'm right this film was originally a 2-min joke trailer made in 2010 or so, and now it's actually been made into a feature by the same production. Pretty cool haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splain | 2,679 Editorials Team · Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Is it any good? I understand it's a parody of rockstar biopics but it looks like it's got some shreds of truth in it too. Like Dr. Demento. Is it clear what's true and what's not?

nrslam | 485 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I enjoyed it. Radcliffe has sure taken on some interesting roles since leaving Hogwarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 5,079 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Can you watch without a roku device? Like web based or something? I still enjoy his music and that early era stuff of his story would be fantastic around dr demento and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Wikipedia "On August 8, 2018, The Roku Channel became available on the web as a standalone website.[2] Originally only available in the United States,[3] it launched in the United Kingdom on April 7, 2020, with a different selection of movies and TV shows.[4]" https://therokuchannel.roku.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox | 1,757 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Saw it on disc, very much reminds me of Walk Hard. The over dramatic acting, all the coincidental events, and of course being 100% accurate, just like all biopics. Got some chuckles out of me.
