Let’s travel back to the summer of 1989. I’m 15 years old and have just put two large movie posters on my wall: One for Tim Burton’s game-changing take on “Batman,” starring Michael Keaton, and the other for “Uhf,” the theatrical comedy debut for the one and only “Weird Al” Yankovic.
It’s now 2023. Keaton is back as Batman in next month’s “The Flash.” And Weird Al is the front-runner for this year’s TV movie Emmy, thanks to the Roku Channel parody biopic “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.”
“1989 is back again! It’s all cyclical,” Yankovic says in his signature cheery, upbeat tone. Tell my 15-year-old self that one day he’ll be recording a podcast with Weird Al, and first he’d say, “what’s a podcast?” But after explaining that it’s essentially a radio show, my 15-year-old self would lose his mind. And ask about 2023’s flying cars.

“It’s always so rewarding when you make something and you love it,” declares Daniel Radcliffe about portraying the larger-than-life satirist Weird Al Yankovic. For our recent webchat he adds, “The whole experience of shooting this movie was so special and fun, and then to put that out into the world and for it to inspire the same feeling in the people who watch it; you can’t really ask for anything more than that as an actor or a performer. So yeah, the reactions that the film’s gotten have been amazing.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.
Radcliffe stars in “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” as a fictionalized version of the singer and accordionist, who co-wrote the screenplay with director Eric Appel. The comedy is loosely based on Yankovic’s life, parodying the biopic formula with tongue firmly planted in cheek, much like the musical parodies that Yankovic is famous for.

“Twenty-seven percent of the movie is actually true,” confirmed “Weird Al” Yankovic when discussing his Roku Channel biopic satire “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” during a television academy-sponsored FYC screening and panel on Sunday at The London West Hollywood hotel. “The idea was to have the first third or so of the movie leave people thinking, ‘Hmm, maybe it’s true.’ But then from there, it goes totally off the rails.” Watch the Q&a with Yankovic and his co-writer and director Eric Appel (moderated by TV critic and blogger Amy Nicholson) above.
Indeed, Yankovic – the musical satirist who has a supporting role in the movie himself as real-life record executive Tony Scotti – explained during his panel with Appel that the “big meta concept that Eric had” for the film was to do a parody movie about the guy who does song parodies. “We totally wanted this to feel dramatic like a real biopic.
