CineClub gets Weird with UHF and The Al Yankovic Story

Published on: 15th August, 2025

This week we’re in the weird world of Al Yankovic. The team of Jake, Matthew, Billy and Rhys discuss the bizarre comedy, the songs and outstanding filmic parodies of UHF (1989) and the more recent Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022).

It’s clear there’s a whole lotta love for Weird Al and his brand of fantastical comedy.  

Our presenters are Jake, Matthew, Billy, and Rhys. The episode was engineered and edited by Emily Main.
