I just shared it on my facebook wall. That couch they were sitting on looked very comfy.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

Why would you ever want to interrupt him?

In this article, Al, Jay, Gray Frederickson, Dr. Demento and Roger Callard, aka Conan The Librarian, talk about UHF, just in time for the Blu-Ray release. There are some things that were discussed in the commentary on the DVD that were expanded on, plus some things I did not know about. It's really well done.

Here is another article, where Al reflects on UHF. It's short, but sweet.

"Weird Al" Yankovic Looks Back on UHF 25 Years Later

This link was shared on twitter, from the Shout Factory account.

That was a great article. There was definitely some interesting information in there that I hadn't heard before, such as Al falling asleep on the floor in between takes. I'm glad those involved can still look back on the production of the movie with such fondness.

Rolling Stone put Al on their list of 20 biggest, boldest comebacks of 2014

Favorite twitter response - "@RollingStone in the words of LLCoolJ, don't call it a comeback @alyankovic has been here for years. His best year, but not a comeback."

So true.

I love this picture. We rarely get to see Jay in action! (Ghandi 3, anyone?)

Here's the article that comes with it:

That's a great picture and an interesting article. It's nice to see Al's label giving him some love, especially since it seems like there's been some tension between Al and the label. It's good that they seem to be parting on good terms.
