Weird Al Yankovic "Biopic" Gets 4K Blu-ray Release For December

The Daniel Radcliffe-starring Weird Al Yankovic "biopic" that was recently nominated for eight Emmy Awards is coming to 4K Blu-ray.


Weird Al Yankovic was the subject of a biopic of sorts last year, starring Daniel Radcliffe as the popular and iconic musician and comedian. Not many saw it, however, as it was a Roku-exclusive release. That is all about to change, however, as a year later, the film is getting a 4K Blu-ray release from our good friends at Shout Factory. Expect a ton of special features, as they always do with their releases, though a confirmed list is not available yet. We will update you when it is. What we can show you, however, is the cover for the release, which you can find below. We loved the film and cannot wait for it to reach a bigger audience, especially since it was nominated for a ton of Emmy Awards.
