Perfectly Excellent - The Rewind Club: UHF - 6/04/26

Ep 48 - UHF starring “Weird Al” Yankovic is one of those movies that really earns the description of ‘cult classic.’ Released to minimal fanfare in a ridiculously crowded summer of 1989, its legend has grown over the years and now it’s the movie of the month for our latest installment of The Rewind Club. Tim saw this in the theaters in 1989 and has probably seen it another few hundred times since then. Alan has only seen it once and didn’t really remember much about it, making it the perfect candidate for a Rewind Club. What does Alan think of it viewing it with 2026 eyes? Is it any surprise that this is one of Tim’s favorite movies? Come and join us for the conversation. What’s on tap: • Invention Exchange - Sharing our latest collectible pickups • Some UHF history and stats • Walking through the plot of the movie with reactions to key scenes • Tim’s history with the movie and Weird Al in general • Alan’s opinion of the movie seeing it for the first time in ages • Bonus conversation about the UHF Soundtrack
