Warning: spoilers of the hijab in Stranger: The Jankovic Story in play. If you’re looking to avoid such knowledge, this is a friendly warning.
Usually, people will tell you “the truth is stranger than fiction”. These guys clearly don’t know the sense of humor in Weird Al Yankovic, especially when it comes to the fairy tale that he and co-writer/director Eric Appel injected into New movie release Stranger: The Jankovic Story.
with the roku channel (Opens in a new tab) Now streaming the original video to fans, it seems like a good time to reflect on some of the most ridiculous moments from this fake autobiography. More specifically, I would like to draw attention to the scenes that stars Evan Rachel Wood and Daniel Radcliffe highlighted as the absolute favorites. As spirits were high during press day for this unbridled comedy/which thoroughly enjoyed criticism, this was clearly one of the best questions to ask at the moment.
I say this because upon asking this very question, Wood doubled for a brief moment in utter laughter. After composing herself, but still smiling about amazing Reminiscences stirred up by this query, Evan Rachel Wood described her favorite moment of Absurdity to CinemaBlend as:
There were two places I couldn’t stop laughing. One is where you get a phone call about “Eat It,” and you love smashing the phone. This was a funny scene to shoot. I can’t give the veil, waiter, but when I took the food out of his hand… that whole day was so ridiculous.
If you are sensitive to plot and/or spoilers Stranger: The Jankovic StoryFeel free to skip two paragraphs. I say this because while it is a sin to spoil anything that happens in this movie, the context of the moment above is key to why the moment gives Evan Rachel Wood such joy.
The scene in question is one of the first dates that Al and Madonna step out in their fictional relationship, and they’re perfectly cooked up as part of Eric Appel’s original Funny or Die short. With a crucial call coming during a dinner date, Weird Al is finally informed that Michael Jackson is about to drop a new, satirical single, “Eat It,” Al’s latest musical victory. Through this emotional journey, Daniel Radcliffe’s exaggerated photography From Weird Al crying over the host’s attitude with the receiver, it’s clear that news like this has come his way.
Even worse, as described by Evan Rachel Wood above, Al extracts part of his frustration from a poor waiter trying to serve him food. Slapped angrily by Phil Menon, the man trying to serve Al is played only by singing star/Joker comedian Josh Groban.
It’s just one of the many notable guilds you’ll see Stranger: The Alankovic Story. sIf you happen to have this moment spoiled for you, there are a lot of things that came of it, one of them star origin amazing short comedy.
Speaking of more absurdity, Daniel Radcliffe’s selection of his favorite silly moment is nothing short of a spoiler. If you’ve seen Stranger: The Jankovic Story tractor, you know the moment Weird Al was seen in a moment where he was playing the guitar. This might not sound silly on its own, but when this scene includes a drug ride where Al sees himself emerging from a sticky egg, the line is completely crossed.
As you will read below, in full amazing It made it difficult for Radcliffe to even pick a moment to describe it:
This is the thing. It is very difficult to choose. The moment I emerge from an egg, covered in sticky, naked, I play the guitar. This was definitely one of those [moments] Where you think, ‘Wow. That’s nice over there. That’s the thing, you almost got allergic to it, because every single day it comes up with something, and something new. That was part of the joy when I read the script. You could just read that and go, ‘Oh, that would be fun. Obviously this would be incredible fun.
there Lots of things you like amazingNo matter what type of audience you are. If you’re looking at how many Patterns you can count, it will be fun to see how many Patterns you get on the first try.
