When it comes to the mildly impressive filmography of Tulsa, while many people are quick to remember an Oscar-ready flick like The Outsiders, I’m the jerk that always has to bring up the comedy classic UHF starring “Weird Al” Yankovic, probably one of the reasons why I have very few friends.
A box-office bomb upon initial release, it has since gone on to become an absolute cult classic that many movies wish they could be.
As a matter of fact, a few years ago when I was writing for a shitty alt-weekly that shall remain nameless, I wrote a retrospective that, despite featuring interviews with Yankovic and other personalities from the film, was subjugated to the back of the paper.
