If you missed the screening of the new Bob Uecker documentary, Ueck, on opening night of the 2026 Milwaukee Film Festival, fear not! The film is set to open in Marcus Theatres throughout Wisconsin on Friday, July 24. Juuuuust about two months from now!
Ueck is co-directed by Milwaukee filmmakers Steve Farr and Michael T. Vollmann. It both encapsulates Uecker’s long and storied career and serves as a fly-on-the-wall document of his final years.

If you want to read a quick pull quote from my review, watch the new Ueck trailer below. Yep, I’m quoted in the thing! It’s all downhill from here, folks!
More details on the Ueck theatrical rollout will be announced in the coming weeks. Until then, here’s what the Downtown Milwaukee Uecker mural looks like today:
