Tonight on Triple Feature we're looking at music biopic parodies, Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story, Weird The Al Yankovic Story and CB4. Walk Hard takes decades of musician mythology and stuffs it all into Dewey Cox, a man who experiences seemingly every triumph, tragedy, addiction and reinvention available to a recording artist. Weird takes the opposite approach, turning the famously mild life of “Weird Al” Yankovic into the kind of sex-and-drugs melodrama Hollywood thinks a music legend requires. And CB4 follows three aspiring rappers who discover that talent isn’t enough when audiences are buying authenticity, so they manufacture a gangster mythology to sell along with the music. Together, the films raise a question that goes beyond parody: do music biopics keep telling the same story because Hollywood lacks imagination, or because fame, money, excess and insulation keep producing different versions of the same life? Tonight we’re following the music, the mythology and the machine that creates both.
