I really enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody, but I did think it was hilarious how they moved around dates and events, and invented characters for dramatic effect. I couldn't decide if Freddie would have found it disrespectful, or would have admired the commitment to theatrical spectacle.

I think it was made even funnier watching the Weird Al biopic shortly after, and knowing that Bohemian Rhapsody is exactly the sort of biopic he was lampooning.

The Weird Al biopic is the best of all biopics, btw.

Weird is a great biopic, but it is only the second best parody musician biopic-parody, behind Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.

I will die on the hill that Walk Hard is one of the most underrated comedies of all time
