Who knew Madonna was such a bad influence on Weird Al Yankovic?
August 29th, 2022 under Roku, Weird Al Yankovic. [ Comments: none ]

The first trailer is out for Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, and the biopic is not what I expected. We knew it was loosely based on the singer’s life. But the Roku film starring Daniel Radcliffe in the title role goes in a direction like Weird Al’s song. Like it sounds the same as the original, but it is a parody of what we know.

In real life, Yankovic is squeaky clean. In the movie, “From a conventional upbringing where playing the accordion was a sin, Al rebelled and made his dream of changing the words to world-renowned songs come true. An instant success and sex symbol, Al lives an excessive lifestyle and pursues an infamous romance that nearly destroys him.”

I don’t know what to make of it, but I know I will be watching it on November 4th. Will you be singing along with me?

Oh, and did you catch the real Weird Al’s cameo?

Weird: The Story of Al Yankovic gets a premiere date

Weird: The Story of Al Yankovic is the most-anticipated film of the year. And today, we found out when it will debut on The Roku Channel. That date is November 4th. So mark your calendars because you don’t want to miss it.

I expect the telemovie to sweep the Emmys with Daniel Radcliffe walking away with Best Actor as the man himself. It would be a travesty if he and the movie did not win.

Oh, and The Roku Channel is the new UHF! Get it?

Weird Al Yankovic is on tour, and like many touring musicians, he tested positive for coronavirus.

“So… I’ve got COVID. Don’t worry, I’m fine – I’m vaxxed and double-boosted and the symptoms are very mild,” the singer wrote. “But of course this means I unfortunately need to cancel the next couple dates on my tour (Saginaw & Detroit). I’m deeply sorry – we will reschedule those shows ASAP.”

Hopefully, he will be better soon because my friends have tickets to his shows, and it is all about my friends.

The Weird: The Al Yankovic Story trailer is magnificient 
May 3rd, 2022 under Harry Potter, Roku, Weird Al Yankovic. [ Comments: none ]

Roku released the first trailer for Weird: The Al Yankovic Story with Daniel Radcliffe in the title role.

All I will say is that Harry Potter worked his magic, both literally and figuratively, because that is brilliant. It reminds me of Weird Al’s music video, I Lost on Jeopardy.

Radcliffe was born to play this role, and he deserves all the accolades he is going to get for it.

When it comes to the biopic, I can’t wait to see what new things we learn about the most famous accordion player in the World!

The Movie of the Week is coming to The Roku Channel later this year. It is not the only thing coming to channel this year. To see what else will be streaming there for free, then click here!
