Weird Al isn’t Daniel Radcliffe’s first eccentric rodeo. Being one of the most versatile actors of our generation, the young Brit’s CV speaks of a diversity that perhaps a few rare people can boast of in their Hollywood career. Beginning with a career spearheading the franchise spanning 8 films and the entirety of his formative years, the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone The actor portrayed a genius megalomaniac, an online troll with guns stuck to his hands, a murdered defendant with horns sticking out of his head, and most importantly, the Boy Who Lived.

Now Daniel Radcliffe continues to add another notch to his belt with BIZARRE: The story of Al Yankovic which serves as a biopic of the infamous musician, Weird Al. But it turns out that nothing is just a story when it comes to Al Yankovic.

However, the only hiccup in all the strategic planning on behalf of the channel was that Roku is only a service provider in the US, UK and Canada. Asked by a fan — “How can I watch in Australia? » — Weird Al, solemnly defending his reputation and name, cheekily replies that although The Roku is not accessible on the relevant continent, there are other (more illegal) ways to watch Daniel Radcliffe’s film.
Roku is working on it. In the meantime, there is a VPN way (most likely not) to watch it legally. I’m sure you have a TORRENT of more questions, but I have to move on, sorry.

The subtle misrepresentation of the abbreviated VPN is a clever touch on the musician’s part. VPN, which originally stands for Virtual Private Network, is an enabler for torrent sites that allows the public to directly download and stream movies and series from the Internet. Legally considered a hack, VPN protects the identity of the torrent user’s IP address, essentially protecting them from being tracked online or identified.
