The ‘Weird Al’ biopic is coming to Australia

After encouraging his Australian fans to torrent his documentary, the biopic 'Weird Al' is finally coming to the United States.

Australian fans of "Weird Al" Yankovic will finally be able to legally stream the biographical satire "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" via Paramount+. The film was first released internationally in November, but was not available in Australia.

Fans contacted Yankovic on Twitter asking for a way to watch the movie, to which he responded by suggesting that fans should hack or download the movie using a VPN in order to watch it. However, after a long delay, the film will now be available to stream on March 2, just a week before Yankovic returns to Australia for an intimate theater tour.

“Roku is working on it. In the meantime, there is a VPN way (Most likely not) to legally view it. I'm sure you have a TORRENT of other questions, but I have to continue, sorry."

The film, directed by Eric Appel and written by Appel and Yankovic, stars Daniel Radcliffe as Yankovic and also stars Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna and Rainn Wilson as Yankovic's mentor, Dr. Demento. The film parodies the biographical genre and presents an alternate version of Yankovic's rise to fame.

Yankovic's Australian tour will kick off in Melbourne on March 10 and 11 and will also visit Adelaide, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane. The tour will focus on Yankovic's non-parody original material from his 14-album catalogue.

Fans who missed out on seeing the film's initial release can now catch it on Paramount+. "Weird Al" Yankovic's upcoming tour is a rare opportunity for fans to see him perform his source material, and with the availability of biographical satire, fans can dive deeper into the parodist's world.
