Why ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Inspired Weird Al Yankovic to Make His Own Fake Biopic - TheWrap Magazine
Roku’s “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” was inspired by a Funny or Die video that director Eric Appel made in 2009, parodying rock biopics in the same way that Yankovic’s songs (“I Love Rocky Road,” “Another One Rides the Bus,” “Eat It,” “Like a Surgeon,” “Amish Paradise”) gleefully distort rock hits. Expanded from a three-minute trailer that starred Aaron Paul as the Weird one into a 108-minute romp with Daniel Radcliffe in the title role, the film has sex, violence, drugs, temper tantrums, lots of accordions and as many celebrity cameos as “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World,” which could as well have been an alternate title.
