    Who currently has Dr. Demento's O? Is it still PFT?

    Have to make it more bizarre: Radcliffe should play Weird Al with an accent, but not a British accent.

    Give me a weird british take on a brooklyn accent

    Yeah I take this isn't going to be a straight biopic, right? It's just a silly Weird Al project and all that implies?

    I don't think anyone knows what to make of it yet. It's Weird Al, Daniel Radcliffe, and on the Roku channel.

    There's a lot of variables there.

    I'll say it again, it's being made by the same people who did this:

    https://youtu.be/vcNuiri2dV0


    So I find it highly unlikely that it will be a straight biopic.

    God almighty I did not know this and I cannot thank you enough for bringing it into my life.

    Mary Steenburgen seems like such a cool person.

    I also want to know who’s giving the Geek 12k so I can beat you up and steal it and buy one first.

    I would actually watch a whole biopic about Dr. Demento played by Patton Oswalt.

    Al's been having a lot of fun tweeting "behind the scenes scoops" over the past couple of weeks but this one looks legit:

    Yeah, I am now absolutely convinced they are doing a full length feature version of the joke trailer they made before.

    16 days doesn't sound like a lot of time by modern movie standards but I guess it's enough for a biopic(ish) without a ton of second unit shots.

    It's a straight to streaming Roku movie I bet it's 80 minutes long

    Which, for the record, is great

    Yeah the insane pressure on women in Hollywood to forever remain under 40 leads to some pretty extreme cosmetic adventures, some less noticeable than others.

    Some people say the real treasure is friendship. They're wrong. The real treasure is (spoiler for video)
    Weird Al's accordion given to you by Weird Al personally.

    If Weird Al personally gives you
    one of his accordions, you’re obligated to learn how to play it

    I mean, yes, but on the other hand I feel that would be needlessly cruel to everyone within earshot.

    That should really be a requirement before you can audition for the part.

    An absolutely chiseled Weird Al.

    I want to watch the teaser, but I know I don't need to, and I want to be surprised by this movie

    I'm a little disappointed that the teaser wasn't a shot-for-shot remake of the original FoD video.

    There's like... Nothing of importance there. Basically just shows Radcliffe as Yankovic.

    Yeah it feels deliberately constructed to be as generic as possible.

    It felt like it was trying to spoof the biopic trailers, but they should've gone deeper.

    "KNIGHTED BY THE QUEEN"

    "SCION OF THE ONE RING"

    etc.

    He always puts on a great show. I'd estimate I've seen him in concert somewhere around a dozen times by now.
