Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, and Lady Gaga round out this cast to make this a great movie. There is lots of action and…

Story by Mitchell Smith Hello everyone. This week I’m taking a look at Weird: The Al Yankovic Story now streaming on Roku. This is an interesting movie and I think it will be one of those movies that we will be talking about for years to come. First off the movie itself is a spoof on Weird Al’s life.
