Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022)

5 trivia entries

★★★★☆

Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Evan Rachel Wood, Rainn Wilson

Trivia: Much like how "Weird Al" Yankovic has made a career out of parodying popular songs, this film is a parody of biopics, and is not meant to be seen as an accurate retelling of his life (he never hooked up with Madonna or had a drinking problem, for example).

Trivia: The crate behind Madonna when she is tied up at Pablo Escobar's compound has the number 27 on it. The use of the number 27 is a recurring gag in "Weird Al" Yankovic's music.

Trivia: Because of a combination of cost-saving measures and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, filming had to be limited to only eighteen days.
