I thought making this a parody of other biopics was pretty brilliant and meta.
A parody biopic is a great idea. I'm really looking forward to this.
And they made Radcliffe look enough like Weird Al to work in a parody biopic, but not really close enough to work in a serious biopic. Another genius move.

Also I thought this trailer made it pretty clear that Radcliffe wasn't singing. Another great biopic parody.

Roku? Too bad I'll never get to see it. Looks hilarious.
In the 90s, a buddy of mine at the Batt got to interview Weird Al on the phone before the Amish Paradise album came out. It was supposed to be a 10-minute interview, but he stayed on the phone for an hour, and played us (on speaker phone) 2 of the songs off the album on his accordion.
LEGEND - and the film looks like a blast.

Holy cow this looks amazing!
I was skeptical with the first trailer they released, but this one makes it look much better
1) this looks great
2) I love Daniel Radcliffe's honey badger attitude of picking projects since he has harry Potter FU money.
3) weird al is almost as much of a national treasure as Dolly
Also, Since do Dr Demento is in the movie, I wonder if the best musician to ever come out of Texas A&M will have a Cameo or shout out.

In Intermediate and high school I used to listen to Rock Line late on Monday nights. Bob Coburn was the host an he interviewed all the big stars at the time and they took calls from fans.
I should have been doing homework.
Nightranger was scheduled one night. When they get there, no Bob Coburn. He had to go out of town or was home sick or had a new baby or something.
Guest host to fill in? Weird Al.
It was a riot. And the guys from Nightranger were hilarious. Bob even called in to the show and Nightranger gave him crap for sticking them with "weird", which they called him since that was his first name.
Really a funny show that night.

Dr. Demento is alive!!!
My brother in law attended a comic con over a decade ago. Cannot remember which year, but as he was walking around he accidentally bumped into someone dressed in a storm trooper costume. Head to toe. My BiL apologized for bumping into him. The storm trooper raised his helmet and it was Weird Al. He smiled and said don't worry about it and kept on walking.
True story.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
There better be some UHF cuts in there is all I gotta say.
Didn't really keep up with him, but then one day I watched "Party in the CIA" and "aluminum foil" and realized I have been missing out on Al in my life.

But what if you assume everyone in a storm trooper outfit at comic con looks like Weird Al?
I have never understood the attraction of Weird Al, but this looks pretty good.

Word Crimes is absolutely genius.
Most all of his parodies have better lyrics than the originals.

Weird Al is a national treasure.

This 1000 times! Brilliant movie!
"Walk Hard" was an absolutely genius parody of these biopics.
I'm looking forward to this one but it's gonna be hard to top WH.

Love how a 2 minute gag with Aaron Paul turned into a feature. Can't. Wait.
Life's an endless party, not a punch card.
Maybe? That interview is 15 years old.maroon barchetta said:

Weird Al could put on a Superbowl halftime show that would end terrorism.
Try and get your hands on a copy of "The Compleat Al." It's a genius parody starring Al as himself instead of a record company exec.
just came across this yesterday.
I'm a big Weird Al fan, but I've passed on seeing him in concert. The music is too novelty to listen to as a serious concert, and the humor feels a little cringy to see live. But I really enjoy the recorded versions.
Am I missing out?

Apparently he had a cameo in the trailer.
I've been to two Weird Al concerts and thoroughly enjoyed them. If you like the recorded versions, you'll have a good time at his concerts.Philo B 93 said:
