Weird: The Al Yancovic Story – teaser for the silly biopic parody

Since the success of Bohemian Rhapsody, music biopics have been sprouting up every year. Elvis, Xatar and also Milli Vanilli have their own film. The musician Weird Al Yankovic, who is best known for his music parodies, also received such a film. But like the artist himself, the film is far from a serious story.
The film tells the story of Weird Al and how he came up with his parodies. The film doesn’t really take the truth seriously and at the same time makes fun of biopics. The big highlight of the wonderfully silly story is the bizarre acting by Daniel Radcliffe.
The film was originally released in America on Roku in 2022, but it has only been available on Netflix since this year.
2. Nimona
Spider-Man 2023 showed that animated films still have a lot of creative potential. Animation is also a big place full of treasures on Netflix. The film Nimona is worth watching, especially if you’ve grown tired of Disney and Pixar films.
The knight Ballister is wrongly blamed for a crime, and only the shapeshifter Nimona can help him. As a knight, Nimona is actually Ballister’s enemy, but the unlikely duo joins forces to clear his name. Topics such as same-sex love and social belonging are addressed.
MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya was also enthusiastic about the film:
Anyone who is disappointed with Pixar should now watch this great film on Netflix that Disney didn’t want
