The election is over, for now, thank you Lord for no more political ads! Ok let’s get to it, welcome to the Reel Film Nerds podcast! Today Mike and Matt chat about a fun unique film Weird: The Al Yankovic Story currently streaming on Roku. Additional weird topics include Rammstein, a new giveaway, and Machete.
Weird Al is an artist that is near and dear to your two hosts’ hearts. They grew up listening to his music and enjoying his shows and films. Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is exactly what we need right now as a society. A fun, goofy, yet strange biopic that stretches the truth just a smidge. Daniel Radcliffe and Evan Rachel Wood act the crap out of this film, seriously. They do such a great job you forget they are acting. There are a ton of laugh out loud moments but sometimes the strangeness of the film takes away from the humor. Both Matt and Mike agree Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is a must see and laugh film. Mike really enjoyed this film awarding it 3.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt also enjoyed Weird: The Al Yankovic Story but it was a bit too strange for him on the occasion. He awards the movie 3 out of 5 Reels.
For next week’s review we hit the theaters to check out the last Marvel Cinematic Universe of 2022 Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Thanks for listening and we will chat with you next week!
