Shout! Studios is bringing the cult comedy favorite UHF to 4K UHD Blu-Ray on July 2, 2024, to celebrate its 35th anniversary. The film stars “Weird Al” Yankovic, David Bowe, Fran Drescher, Victoria Jackson, Kevin McCarthy, Michael Richards, Stanley Brock, Gedde Watanabe, Billy Barty, Anthony Geary, Emo Philips and Trinidad Silva. The film was directed by Jay Levey, Yankovic’s manager, who also co-wrote the screenplay with him.

The standard release includes a new 4K scan of the original 35mm camera negative, audio commentary with “Weird Al” Yankovic and director Jay Levey, the retrospective panel from San Diego Comic-Con 2014, deleted scenes, behind the scenes footage, easter eggs, and more! Fans who order directly from Shout! Studios will have the option to purchase an exclusive edition of the release bundled with a plethora of new extras.

Available in three different configurations, these editions include the two-disc 4K UHD along with various combinations of a site-exclusive o-card with new illustration, posters of both original theatrical art and new illustration art, brand-new Scratch-n-Sniff card for the movie, a TV remote stress squeezer, prism sticker of Weird Al, an enamel pin set, and a Spatula City fridge magnet.

Synopsis: Sometimes you’ve got to grab life by the lips and YANK as hard as you can. A lot of TV stations have forgotten what “quality” means. But not Channel 62. They NEVER knew what it meant.

In the cult classic UHF, “Weird Al” Yankovic is George Newman, a daydreamer who becomes the manager of a small TV station that’s losing money as quickly as it’s losing viewers. Before long, he’s programming shows like “Stanley Spadowski’s Clubhouse,” “Wheel Of Fish” and “Raul’s Wild Kingdom.” But can Channel 62’s new popularity save it from sinister forces? To find out … don’t touch that dial!
