Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022)

Yankovic's biopic is to other biopics what Yankovic's songs are to other songs: a goof on them. Surprisingly, it works really well and I think a lot of the credit for that goes to Radcliffe in the lead, with Evan Rachel Wood solid as Madonna.

It's silly, hilarious, kinda dumb, and -- honestly -- gets old after a while. If it had been cut down to a lean 90 minutes, this could've been superb.
