In today’s episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo puts on his accordion and talks about The Roku Channel’s latest release, “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” with the director Eric Appel (“Son of Zorn,” “Funny or Die Presents…”) and star Daniel Radcliffe (the “Harry Potter” films, “Swiss Army Man,” “Miracle Workers”).

Daniel Radcliffe has done a lot of work to shed his days as the hero in the Harry Potter film franchise. Even though rumors pointed to him succeeding Hugh Jackman as the next Wolverine in the X-Men movie franchise, the English actor is debunking all those claims.

Daniel Radcliffe found playing 'Weird Al' Yankovic to be a "liberating" experience.

"Harry Potter" star Tom Felton is spilling the details on his co-star Daniel Radcliffe’s celebrity crush.  In Felton’s new memoir, "Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard," he shared that Radcliffe used a photo of Cameron Diaz to help guide him on where to look while filming the flying broomstick scenes.  "The approach was that if a piece of magic or any kind of special effect could be achieved practically, that was the best way to do it," Felton explained, according to excerpts shared by Insider.   "This was especially true in the early days when the visual effects team had less-advanced technology at their disposal." Felton portrayed Draco Malfoy in "Harry Potter" – Radcliffe’s nemesis in the mega-hit franchise.

ABC Media Watch’s most recent episode has been criticised for platforming anti-trans talking points and targeting LGBTQI organisation ACON and its Pride in Diversity Program. The episode broadcast on Monday, October 17, claimed to be looking at the “relationship” between ABC and ACON, which runs the Australian Workplace Index Awards. “Can the ABC remain impartial when it partners with a lobby group and gets ranked in a competitive index?” the programme asked.

According to Felton, the “Harry Potter” crew’s “approach was that if a piece of magic or any kind of special effect could be achieved practically, that was the best way to do it. This was especially true in the early days, when the visual effects teams had less-advanced technology at their disposal.”
