“Weird Al” Yankovic Celebrated In Two Releases

UHF: 25th Anniversary Edition and The Compleat Al

Two Fan-Favorite “Weird Al” Yankovic Releases Available
November 11th, 2014 from Shout! Factory

For nearly four decades, Grammy Award-winning musician and satirist “Weird Al” Yankovic has been entertaining audiences worldwide with his parodies of songs by the biggest stars in the musical universe, as well as his appearances on television and in film. On November 11, 2014, Shout! Factory will release two quintessential Weird Al titles: the cult favorite UHF: 25th Anniversary Edition as a collectible Blu-ray loaded with bonus features, and the mockumentary The Compleat Al on DVD.

Weird Al’s latest album, Mandatory Fun, was released on July 15 and debuted at #1 Billboard, the first time in over 50 years that a comedy album has topped the charts.

UHF
A lot of TV stations have forgotten what “quality” means. But not Channel 62. They NEVER knew what it meant.

In the cult classic UHF, “Weird Al” Yankovic is George Newman, a daydreamer who becomes the manager of a small TV station that’s losing money as quickly as it’s losing viewers. Before long he’s programming shows like “Stanley Spadowski’s Clubhouse,” “Wheel Of Fish” and “Raul’s Wild Kingdom.” But can Channel 62’s new popularity save it from sinister forces? To find out… don’t touch that dial!

Starring “Weird Al” Yankovic, Michael Richards (Seinfeld), Kevin McCarthy (Invasion of the Body Snatchers), Fran Drescher (The Nanny), Gedde Watanabe (Sixteen Candles), Victoria Jackson (Saturday Night Live) and more!

UHF: 25th Anniversary Edition Bonus Features:
– 2014 San Diego Comic-Con Panel
– Audio Commentary
– Deleted Scenes
– Behind-the-Scenes Footage
– Music Video
– Production Stills
– Easter Eggs
– Promotional Materials
