Friday on "The Talk" Rainn Wilson opens up about his new film "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" and playing disc-jockey Dr. Demento. "What's amazing is how many fans Weird Al has, like he has seven-year-old fans and seventy-year-old fans. He adds, It's such a ridiculous send up of biopics that the Dr. Demento in the film has no correlation to the truth whatsoever. But yeah, I used to listen to the Dr. Demento radio hour when I was a kid, and he would play crazy comic tunes on there. And he launched Al Yankovic's career." On why Weird Al's music resonates with him he says, For me and all of my friends growing up, you know, there's something, it unleashes your inner dork. It allows you to embrace your inner weird and let your freak flag fly. Everyone just had a great time with his songs." On his upcoming book "Soul Boom" he shares, "It's one of my hobbies, I have kind of an inner Oprah inside of me. And I love spirituality and conversations about mystical and poetical, and changing the world through changing people's hearts. And that's why the subtitle is 'Why we need a spiritual revolution."
