. When it comes to nerdy white guys so unabashedly dorky that they’re kinda cool, history’s most successful song parodist may be second only to Mister Rogers, and barring the occasional dark themes in some of his numbers, he’s just as family-friendly. So it may come as a shock to those too young to remember that when he finally got the chance to make a movie, and the movie was 100 percent pure Al, it was a box-office disaster.
The movie’s plot is but a loose formula, a variation of the underdog achieving surprising success, mainly as a metaphorical clothes-horse on which Al can hang various parodies of TV shows, commercials, and movies. Giving things additional energy, though, is the first lead performance by a pre-Michael Richards, as a twitchy, high-energy janitor named Stanley who becomes an unlikely kid-show host.
All the extras on this set are ported over from the 2014 Blu-ray and the 2002 DVD, though the sole one from 2014 is a Comic-Con panel with Jonah Ray in conversation with Al, who was doing a lot with Nerdist at the time . Comic-Con panels aren’t cinematic; the thrill comes from being in the room with the talent and hearing news first. That said, the audience Q&A part is worth watching, and Ray is one of the better moderators of such things.
