In true fashion, Weird Al Yankovich offers a very peculiar answer for those curious how to watch his biopic outside of the US. 'Roku's working on it. In the meantime there's VPN (Very Probably No) way to watch it legally...'
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story was finally released this week, and Weird Al has a wild suggestion for fans who want to watch the biographical parody film outside the U.S. Directed by Eric Appel, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story stars Daniel Radcliffe in the title role alongside an ensemble cast that includes Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna, Quinta Brunson as Oprah Winfrey, and Rainn Wilson as Dr. Demento. It also features cameos by Jack Black, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Conan O'Brien, and Yankovic himself.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is written by Yankovic and Appel, and is loosely based on the musician's life. Unlike many biopics, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story contains very few actual events from the musician's life. Instead, it was inspired by a satirical fake trailer produced by Appel in 2010 for Funny or Die and parodies typical tropes seen in many music biopics, such as a musician struggling with substance abuse.
How To Watch Weird: The Al Yankovic Story Online Unfortunately for many international Weird Al fans, there is no official way yet to stream Weird: The Al Yankovic Story outside the Roku Channel. The musical biopic parody is exclusively streaming on the Roku Channel, which is only available on Roku devices in Canada and the U.K. However, for viewers in the U.S., the Roku Channel is available on any device with a web browser or with the Roku app.
At this point, there's been no word on when Weird: The Al Yankovic Story might be available internationally. However, considering Yankovic's response and because the satirical biopic is arguably the biggest original film Roku has ever distributed, it seems likely that a wider release is already planned. This could perhaps be through a partnership with another streaming service, or through sites where viewers can rent the movie.
