‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story’ Review: Mock Rock Biopic Is Ridiculous Fun Who is in the “Weird” Cast?...

Over the past 131 years, musical luminaries like Duke Ellington, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young have all graced the Carnegie Hall stage. And on Saturday evening, “Weird Al” Yankovic finally joined their ranks when his Ridiculously Self-Indulgent Ill-Advised Vanity Tour touched down in New York for its grand finale.

Just about five minutes into the set, Yankovic took a pause to soak it in, and even wipe away what appeared to be a genuine tear. “Let me just take a moment to enjoy this,” he...

The official trailer for The Roku Channel’s Weird: The Al Yankovic Story finds Weird Al (played with total commitment by Daniel Radcliffe) attempting to follow his dream of taking existing songs and changing their words. We’re also treated to Evan Rachel Wood channeling Madonna and suggesting Weird Al parody her “Like a Virgin” – which she admits she’s definitely not.

The cast also includes Abbott Elementary creator/star Quinta Brunson as Oprah Winfrey. Rainn Wilson (The Office) plays Dr. Demento, Julianne Nicholson (Mare of Easttown) is Mary Yankovic, Toby Huss (Dickinson) is Nick Yankovic, and Spencer Treat Clark (Animal Kingdom) is Steve Jay.

Weird Al co-wrote the film with Eric Appel, and Appel is directing. Weird is produced by Funny Or Die and Tango.

The Weird Al biopic premieres at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival followed by a release on The Roku Channel on November 4, 2022.

Jeff Lynne will release the 14th Electric Light Orchestra album, From Out of Nowhere, on November 1st via Columbia Records. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee previewed the LP — the second billed under the moniker “Jeff Lynne’s Elo,” following 2015’s Alone in the Universe — with the dreamy title track.

“From Out of Nowhere” conjures vintage Elo, minus the symphonic edge of the band’s layered keyboards and strings. “Let me go, let me fly to a place that I love,” Lynne croons over a jangling, descending guitar progression and steady,...

“Weird Al” Yankovic is returning to the road in 2019, where the musician will employ a full symphony orchestra for every show. Unlike this year’s Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour – where he played a set consisting almost entirely of his lesser-known original tunes – he’ll be breaking out all the classic parodies this time. “We’re going directly from my most scaled-down, low-key show ever to my most full-blown, over-the-top extravaganza ever,” Yankovic wrote in an Instagram post announcing the tour. “We bringing back the costumes and the props and the big video screen.

This week's episode is a little shorter than they have been recently, only because Laremy is on the East Coast all week. That, however, doesn't stop us from really digging in this week with A Lot of TV talk, two reviews (Ted 2 and Creep), trailer talk, a couple of voicemails and a note on the future of the podcast... the free version is coming back, though, with a catch.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 is now just $20 million shy of $500 million worldwide as it dropped only 53% in its second weekend domestically, bringing in $56.9 million, enough to best newcomers Penguins of Madagascar and Horrible Bosses 2, neither of which fared all that well bringing in $25.4 million and $15.4 million respectively. Down in the seventh slot, The Theory of Everything went much wider, playing in 802 theaters and finished the three-day weekend with just over $5 million, ahead of fellow indie features Birdman and St. Vincent. It's good to see all three in the top ten. When it comes to the Box Office Challenge, I've listed the current top ten from the points and accuracy leaderboards directly below and you can find the full leaderboard here.

Box office actuals are in and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 slipped a bit, dropping $1.2 million from estimates to finish its opening weekend with $121.8 million, which is still enough to be the highest opening of 2014. Considering The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug only opened to $73.6 million last year I don't expect The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies to come close to besting Mockingjay's number leaving no reason to assume it won't remain the highest domestic opening of 2014. Ironically, it's still looked at as a disappointment as it is well below the opening weekends for the previous two films -- The Hunger Games ($152.5m) and Catching Fire ($158m) -- though once Mockingjay - Part 2 rolls around I expect things to take off again... you know, once they make a movie where something actually happens. Otherwise, the top five consist of Big Hero 6 dropping only 41.9% for $20.1 million in its third weekend tota.

Dumb and Dumber To dropped almost $2 million from its $38 million, Sunday morning estimate, finishing the weekend with $36.1 million. Nevertheless, it's still an impressive finish given the lackluster reviews and "B-" CinemaScore, leading me to believe the drop will be pretty big next weekend, though it isn't as if it has any major competition in the stupid comedy department until next weekend once Horrible Bosses 2 hits theaters. In second is Big Hero 6, which was also over-estimated and by nearly $1.5 million as it finished the weekend with $34.6 million, which is still just a 38.3% drop as its cume has now grown to $110.3 million domestically and $147 million worldwide as it still has plenty of territories where it has yet to open. Interstellar remains in third, adding $28.3 million to its domestic total as it is now just shy of $100 million domestically and over $322 million worldwide. Beyond the Lights was the weekend's other new wide release,...

I have to give kudos to the folks at Disney as their Sunday morning box office estimate for Big Hero 6 was only $15,889 off the final result, which is a box office topping $56.2 million, the 12th highest opening of 2014 and second highest opening for an animated movie behind The Lego Movie's $69 million back in February. Coming in second was Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, which was estimated at $50 million, but ended up coming in a little below that mark at $47.5 million. Already people calling the result a disappointment, though that's a bit of a rush to judgment for a film that has already grossed $132.5 million worldwide in just its first weekend, though I'd be irresponsible to admit the excitement surrounding this film certainly doesn't match that of Nolan's previous efforts, even if it has generated a lot of conversation so far. However, you won't find me calling it a disappointment.

I guess it's only fitting the only new horror movie on the board bested the more critically acclaimed, satirical thrill ride, but the fact remains it was one hell of an ugly weekend at the Halloween box office. Topping the box office for a second week in a row is Ouija with $10.7 million, besting Nightcrawler by approximately $300,000 as the two were within $9,000 of one another after estimates were announced yesterday morning. Ouija only dropped 46% in its second weekend despite not-so-great reviews and only a "C" CinemaScore, there's something to be said for hitting theaters at the right time. Speaking of, I'm sure both Clarius and Lionsgate thought they were doing something similar with the new thriller Before I Go To Sleep starring Nicole Kidman and the 10th anniversary re-release of Saw, but boy were those two massive misfires. Sleep only brought in $1.8 million from 1,902 theaters for a $969 per theater average...

Happy Halloween 2014 and welcome to this week's Friday edition of the podcast where we review Nightcrawler and Dear White People and we fill your need for something scary with a movie screening horror story unlike any you've heard before.

Well, looks like Universal couldn't find a way to come up with $125,000 more for Ouija as the PG-13, board game adaptation could only manage $19.87 million this weekend, just a shade below the estimated $20 million from yesterday. Perhaps it has something to do with that "C" CinemaScore as that certainly doesn't suggest very good word of mouth. Of course, with a budget said to be around $5 million it isn't like there is much to worry about on a studio level... Good thing they didn't go forward with that $100 million budgeted version they had back in 2012 when McG was attached to direct. Just what exactly was going to happen in that version anywayc In second is the Keanu Reeves actioner John Wick, which was pegged early as a movie that would take in $8 million, but ultimately shattered those predictions, bringing in $14.41 million. No word on a budget for this one, though I'm assuming it wasn't too high.

Fury dropped only a fraction once actuals came in, topping the weekend box office with $23.7 million. With an "A-" CinemaScore it could push to up around $75 million or so domestically, but I'm not sure I'd hold my breath. It will also be interesting to see how it plays internationally. Having Brad Pitt in the cast certainly helps, but is the international audience all that interested in following an American tank crew through the final days of World War IIc Gone Girl only dropped 33.7% for a strong third weekend result of $17.5 million, just barely topping the animated The Book of Life, which stuck to its $17 million estimate once actuals came in. Then down in fifth is The Best of Me, the worst opening for a Nicholas Sparks adaptation in nine tries, but don't expect that to stop them from making more as both "The Choice" and "The Longest Ride" are already in production,...

Yeah, Gone Girl is #1 again, dropping only 29.6% for a second weekend of $26.4 million, but what I'm more interested in is that Dracula Untold number in second. Coming in with $23.5 million and an "A-" CinemaScore would lead you to believe we may have a serious hit on our hands, or at least something more impressive than the reviews would suggest. We'll know more next week once we see how far it falls, but then again, it wasn't the only "A-" CinemaScore for new movies this weekend. As a matter of fact, both Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and The Judge were given "A-" CinemaScores as they came in third and fifth respectively. Disney is having fun marketing the $18.3 million opening for Alexander as the #1 family comedy in the country while Warner Bros. is licking their wounds after the $13.1 million opening for The Judge. The other new...

By a margin of only $378,854, Gone Girl was the #1 film at the box office this past weekend, just barely topping the horror prequel Annabelle. Based on an average ticket price of $8.15 that's a margin of only 46,485 tickets. As I wrote yesterday, this is a great result for both films as the Gone Girl opening is the highest opening for a David Fincher film at $37.5 million. Meanwhile, the opening for Annabelle at $37.1 million is the highest for a horror film in 2014 and only $4 million shy of the opening for the film's predecessor, The Conjuring, which will have its own direct sequel next October. Heading into the weekend I would have guessed these two films would have been neck-and-neck around $27-28 million, but they sure proved me wrong. Of course, while Gone Girl is on top in terms of the amount of money taken in, when you count its $61 million budget versus the $6.5 million budget for Annabelle,...

Nothing all that new to report that wasn't previously discussed yesterday morning as this weekend's estimates were pretty much spot on. Antoine Fuqua's The Equalizer starring Denzel Washington took the #1 spot to the tune of $34.1 million, which was about $900,000 less than estimated, but that's no huge surprise. Opening day audiences gave the film an "A-" CinemaScore, which could make next weekend's drop interesting, though facing off against David Fincher's Gone Girl and Annabelle could be tough given there are so many R-rated movies today's movie going audiences can support at once. In second was last weekend's #1 film, The Maze Runner, which dropped only 46.4% to $17.4 million, which is far better than we saw from Liam Neeson's A Walk Among the Tombstones, which fell 67.1% and finished its sophomore weekend with $4.1 million. The weekend's other new release was Laika's The BoxTrolls, which earned the stop motion animation studio its highest opening to date at $17.2 million.

Exclusive: After more than four years of lawsuits, disputed loans, tattered reputations and tens of millions in fees, the vitriolic war between film financier David Bergstein and Aramid Entertainment looks to be almost over. And the victor might shock you. The parties have reached a settlement agreement, according to filings this week that, if approved, would see Bergstein paid $6 million from the bankruptcy protection-seeking hedge fund. The film financier and his former associate investor Ron Tutor also will acquire “100%” of the equity that longtime legal foe and Aramid exec David Molner has in the film financing fund, estimated to be nearly 5% of the total. Bringing movies back into it, the deal additionally gives Bergstein full rights to the Tony Kaye-directed 2009 pic Black Water Transit, which never was released Stateside due to the litigation.

The settlement deal goes before the bankruptcy court in the Southern District of New York on...

The impression I'm getting from audiences as of late is "Who gives a sh*tc" I can't exactly clarify that opinion any more than simply saying it's something I feel is in the air. If I were to script it it would go like this: At a local Starbucks a man (late 20s-early 30s) is sitting in the corner, mumbling to himself as he looks at the paper. Man Think Like A Man TOOc Jersey BOYSc Edge Of TOMORROWc Who gives a sh*tc It's not a complicated scene, but it seems to speak to the feeling I'm getting from so many people over the last month or so, and last week in particular where it seemed the prospect of doing anything other than going to the theater was preferable. Is it because it's summerc Two years ago Think Like a Man rocked the box office to the tune of $33.6 million,...

Well, 22 Jump Street still did excellent business over its opening weekend, but estimates were off by three million as the new R-rated comedy finished with $57 million instead of the estimated $60m. The film holds the record for the sixth largest opening ever for an R-rated movie and second highest opening for an R-rated comedy behind The Hangover Part II ($85.9m). Next weekend the drop will likely be significant, but with an opening like that on a film budgeted at $65 million things are looking just fine. In second is the disappointment of the weekend, How to Train Your Dragon 2, opening with a mere $49.4 million, less than six million more than the 2010 original. It was reported this morning DreamWorks Animation stock dropped as a result of the poor performance, which makes me wonder about those planned sequels considering the $145 million budget. So far, only $24.8 million has come in from 26 international territories.

We have a pretty great Tuesday episode for you today, kicked off with a couple of stories as well as Brad's comments after seeing the Once musical over the weekend.

The final numbers are in and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 finished its first weekend run with $91.6 million, only $400,000 less than estimated. While it's not the $102 million it was tracking toward, it's still the second highest opening weekend of 2014, behind Captain America: The Winter Soldier's $95 million in April. Elsewhere at the top of the box office, The Other Woman dipped only 41.8% to $14.4 million, Heaven is for Real dipped 39.4% for a third weekend total of $8.6 million and Captain America 2 added another $7.7 million to its total, which is now $679.8 million worldwide, the third highest grossing film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Final Note: I have found the issue with the accuracy leaderboards and will need to redo the results before they are cleared up completely. However, it's not a major issue, though the numbers will be a little different. I hope to find time to clear them up completely before results are listed next weekend.

It's Friday, which means it's time to do some reviews on the podcast and this week we are taking a look at two films on the opposite end of the quality spectrum, Need for Speed and Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Due to the holiday weekend it took an extra day for box office actuals to come in and now they have and Ride Along extends its record January opening by $300,000, bringing in $41.5 million and it will attempt to repeat this weekend against a rather soft round of newcomers. Open Road's The Nut Job dipped just far enough to become their second largest opening ever behind 2012's The Grey at $19.4 million, but it was more than enough to take out Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, which debuted to a paltry $15.4 million and only $18 million for the four-day weekend. Finally, Devil's Due managed $8.3 million on a $7 million budget as cheap horror thrills continue to be a lucrative business for studios. It's still early in the season so it's going to take a while to separate the points leaderboard and we still have a couple weekends before the accuracy leaderboard goes live, but for...

This month has brought with it a wave of horror the blood thirsty masses have been lapping up for three plus weeks now. Carriers, Jennifer's Body, Sorority Row, and 9 all enjoy current theatrical runs, while the highly anticipated Pandorum will tackle the box office today. The ridiculously eerie Grace arrived on DVD shelves this month, as did Clive Barker's Book Of Blood, Deadgirl, Methodic and Rob Zombie?s The Haunted World Of El Superbeasto among others. John Sandford's latest novel Rough Country will street on the 29th, and Stephen Jay Shwartz saw his debut novel Boulevard hit stands on the 15th. Musically it's been an exceptional month for horror releases as well thanks to the extremely successful Insane Clown Posse release Bang! Pow! Boom!, while the upcoming Dethklok album Dethalbum II is  poised to cause commotion on the 29th. Seems like a damn fine month for horror eh?
