The film is a parody. It claims to tell the true story of the writer of the parody song, but it's all bullshit. Music biopics are farces that stretch the truth in order to tell a more engaging story. The films that have been shown so far seem to be This Is Spinal Tap and Anchorman.
At New York Comic Con, he live-streamed into the crowd. He helped produce the film he helped co- write. Over a short period of time, it was all hands on deck. He told the crowd that the entire 18 days of production was so strange. There are some moments that are exaggerated. It was like going to see a home movie.
An exclusive clip of the movie was shown to con-goers. There is a pool party hosted by Dr. Demento that features many comedy stars playing major entertainment figures from the late 1970s and ‘80s. If Weird Al doesn't come up with a parody on the spot, he'll lose the respect of these stars. Al pulled out his accordion and wrote a song.
To get all these big name actors in one place, he had to ask his friends if they would be interested in dressing up for a day. There were many famous people in Hollywood willing to answer their phones.
It is indicative of Weird Al's legacy that the creative minds behind the film seem to be doing a spoof of music biopics. According to their statements at the panel, the actors were not prepared to let the silly nature of the anti-documentary give them a pass. The actor, who wears a fake mustache and fake hair to look like the parody song writer, was surprised that he got the role. He read the script and realized that there wasn't much about the film that was similar to real life.
He explained how he got his hands on the instrument so he could start practicing, the better to not be a musician.
In this version of Madonna, the pop icon seems to take Al down a spiral of drink, drugs, and music superstardom. No, that didn't happen in real life. Madonna is said to have asked if Weird Al was going to do "Like a Surgeon" based on her hit "Like a Virgin" He released it a year after she wrote her song. When asked if the filmmakers were worried about what Madonna would think about her portrayal, the director said, "Well, she's not on my Christmas card list."
On November 4th, there is a new show on the Roku Channel.
