Half the Tim & Eric thread is about this show so I think it deserves its own thread
Granted I'm only like 13 hours into this thing but it's possibly one of the best comedic achievements of the 21st century
also this video is wonderful and I watch it every day

Worth looking for: the episode of The Best Show from a couple years back where Tim and Gregg take up about an hour of the show arguing over whether or not Tim actually saw the Tom Cruise remake of The Mummy.

Immerse, my friend. Let it wash over you.Six seasons of uncritical plaudits for every film under the sun was a magnificent setup for Tim's excoriating Ant-Man review.

The later seasons of Decker aren’t on youtube btw, but iirc they stop interacting directly with On Cinema episodes so it doesn’t stand out badly(The two Ant-Man movies also don’t appear in the playlist, but do very much affect On Cinema video and twitter content )forks if you were starting at an early point, try dropping in on a S4 or 5 episode, when the Tim vs Gregg tone is better established & there’s loads of backstory, to see if it pings any better with you

Thank u for reminding me of the Nut Job review, frogs. Tim's overreaction to Gregg's joke about it being the name of Tim's autobiography was my first big On Cinema laugh.

― american bradass (BradNelson), Monday, 15 July 2019 15:39 (five years ago) link
the "tribute to our fallen actors" bit on the 2nd special that starts with a crossfade of Steve Harvey is one of the series' best moments, I was dying from laughter the whole time (and you can see Tim breaking when they cut to him), but if you showed that bit out of context to anyone unfamiliar they'd think you were nuts for laughing at it
― frogbs, Monday, 15 July 2019 15:47 (five years ago) link
the crossfades in the oscar specials are like their own comedic language, kudos to the producers of this show for discovering the worst possible stock images of peter jackson and billy crystal

The crossfades feel like the equivalent of Mulaney writing those last-minute Stefan jokes that would make Hader break when he saw them for the first time. Like whoever's selecting those images seems to have a very keen idea of what's gonna make Tim and Gregg have to stifle a giggle.

the pleasure and the curse of this show is that everything else gets warped through its lens. for some reason i'm reading the Please Please Me review on allmusic, and how can you not read this User Review in gregg's voice:
"What a debut by a group or artist. Stunning smashes like "I Saw Her Standing There", "P.S. I Love You", "Do You Want To Know A Secret". and the closer "Twist And Shout" make this a must have album. Every song is worth hearing. Not too many artists get it right the first time out, but the Beatles did."

Believer interview with Tim:
JP, our tour manager, who I’ve worked with for many years, and who I’m very close with — we are picking up some VHS tapes for Gregg, which we sell at the show, and Gregg is finding them at various thrift stores as we drive all over. And Gregg really gets into it, and he’s going on about some horrible movie we found, and I look at JP and say, “The funny thing is, there’s a lot of Gregg in Gregg.” And he looks at me and goes, “There’s a lot of you in Tim!” And I go, “Really?” And he’s like, “Yes.”
also, a real review:
I’m not kidding when I say that Paddington 2 is the best movie I’ve seen in a long time. It’s so clever and funny. I’m not kidding. Watch it. First of all, everyone in the movie is a great, accomplished actor. It looks like Wes Anderson, but without being so heavy-handed. I liked this way more than I liked Isle of Dogs, which I feel is so in on its own joke. Paddington 2 has great British humor; it’s unpretentious, genuinely funny. Emotional. Very emotional. And [the first] Paddington is also good, but this one is better. And I wept.

― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 22 July 2019 03:11 (five years ago) link
With that in mind, how much do you identify with your character on On Cinema?I think when I was 12 or 13, that was probably about where I was at. It was really before I got into punk rock, which was something I was only into for about a year before the corruption started to become apparent and I moved on. I was super, super into watching movies when I was a kid, and this was before home video was really readily available—or at least not readily available to me, because we didn’t really have any money for that—but I didn’t know anyone who owned a VCR or anything, so I was really into going to art house theatres and going to the multiplex and paying for one movie and then trying to stay there all day, slipping from one to the next trying to see as many movies as I could. I had a little book where I kept track of everything that I saw and rated them all. I was super into it.I think that I kind of lost that interest at some point. I still like movies, but I might watch a couple a month—as opposed to that point, when I was 12 or 13, when I would watch, like, 40 a month and document them all. But I think that that character on On Cinema is less like me than Neil Hamburger is like me.
I think when I was 12 or 13, that was probably about where I was at. It was really before I got into punk rock, which was something I was only into for about a year before the corruption started to become apparent and I moved on. I was super, super into watching movies when I was a kid, and this was before home video was really readily available—or at least not readily available to me, because we didn’t really have any money for that—but I didn’t know anyone who owned a VCR or anything, so I was really into going to art house theatres and going to the multiplex and paying for one movie and then trying to stay there all day, slipping from one to the next trying to see as many movies as I could. I had a little book where I kept track of everything that I saw and rated them all. I was super into it.
I think that I kind of lost that interest at some point. I still like movies, but I might watch a couple a month—as opposed to that point, when I was 12 or 13, when I would watch, like, 40 a month and document them all. But I think that that character on On Cinema is less like me than Neil Hamburger is like me.

from: https://hazlitt.net/feature/im-playing-one-percent-who-do-it-interview-gregg-turkington
can irl Gregg move his neck or is that particular physical tic specific to the character himself? The way he has to move his whole upper body to turn his head towards somebody seems like such a wierd affectation.

yeah I don't think I would've ever put that together either. there's like one brief scene in one of the Oscar Specials (maybe the first one, after Tim pukes on the tapes) where he lapses into the voice.

I mean, I had read about Neil Hamburger, including his real name, a bunch of times. But it wasn't until now that I saw it mentioned and thought "wait... that Gregg... is this Gregg"

I've readily associated him with Neil Hamburger at least since McSweeney's put out Tim & Gregg's 'Bicycle Built for Two' screenplay in 2011, but I think I knew his real name before I even knew what a Neil Hamburger was (pretty sure they mentioned it in the Zip Code Rapists entry in the '90s Trouser Press Guide).

there's not much to say. i was hoping to learn something about how record labels work but instead they stuck me in another room away from everyone else working there, cutting cardboard squares to be packaged along with record shipments all day. i think after ever 8 or 16 hours i was given a free record of my choosing as my payment. no one talked to me, and i wasn't enough of a networker to saunter into the main office and try to convince them that i was worth talking to. on my last day, literally as i was walking out the door toward the train, one of the label people realized that i was old school good friends with a key musician that they were looking to work with and suddenly they became very interested in talking to me for the first time. but i so cool that i just let them know that i'd tell him drag city said hi next time i talked to him
the reverse side of this is that i looked like i was 13 even though i was 23, i looked like a drug addict because i'm really skinny, i was socially awkward, and actually i'm not sure if i ever talked to that cool musician i thought i was good friends with ever again, because he was busy playing one trillion shows and being cool and i was busy piling up life experiences that will good for my memoir which i plan on writing and publishing in a nursing home someday

I was not prepared for Al Jardine's appearance in Decker 4. Although I probably should have been since my only time spotting Gregg in the wild in LA was outside a Brian Wilson show (w/ Al in the band) at the Greek a few years back. He was wearing a bowling shirt and holding court with a bunch of Gregg-heads. As always a true class act.

Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi were never real brothers, they were "blues brothers." So you can have other "blues brothers" in life. John Goodman, I think, is a legitimate "blues brother," from Dan Aykroyd. And some of these other guys — you've got James Brown, B.B. King, the Blues Brothers Band, Paul Shaffer — these are all blues people, and this is a blues movie, and I love it and it will cure the blues.

Re: the Gyllenhaaal sci-fi/horror film Life
Tim: So...that's Life. (sings) 'Thaat's liife', one of those old sayings from Sinatra, and it is almost an homage to Sinatra.
Gregg: When i walked out of the theater after seeing Life this year, I turned to the ticket taker at the door and he said, 'how was the movie,' and I said, 'it's a wonderful Life,' and he got a kick out of that. That was a reference to It's a Wonderful Life from 1946, Frank Capra and Jimmy Stewart. But this is a very different movie than It's a Wonderful Life. If you liked It's a Wonderful Life, I wouldn't say don't watch this because, if you liked that you're probably a movie buff and this is definitely a movie buff's type of film.

i've heard mixed reactions on the comedy (mostly bad), but at least this section sounds pretty good:
Swanson's friend Van (Eric Wareheim) shows the group a slide show of photos from his childhood interspersed with pornographic images as a gag. Despite some initial laughs, the group falls silent and everyone appears saddened, including Van, who solemnly continues the slide show.

lmao at Tim's comment on the 3rd Oscar Special
What I refuse to edit out and now must live with for the rest of my life is my poor, unprofessional behavior throughout the night - I do not like to blame others but I will say that I was under the impression by a man named “Bryan” at Whole Foods in Los Angeles that the champagne marked “Organic” would be non-alcoholic. I also received the all clear from “Maria” at Rite-Aid that Mucinex would be helpful in treating my cold symptoms and that as long as I wasn’t DRINKING it wouldn’t impair my ability to do a great show. I was lied to and deceived by these two and they will pay in their own ways, separately. But, in the end, I’m an adult and must take responsibility for my own actions.

Season finale of Agents of SHIELD featured a character sort of returning and ended on the line, 'hey, guys.' Which naturally made me laugh but after reading in Tim's Believer interview that some folks at Marvel are apparently big into On Cinema, I wonder if it wasn't an intentional nod.

It's a meta detail but I really how the very act of portraying Decker seems to erode Tim's cognition (see: Decker barely able to string three coherent words together while conversing with a smooth-talking Louisianan politician also portrayed by Tim).

I have a feeling that the path to building a filmography of 200+ roles entails accepting every acting job you're offered, scouring corkboards outside university film departments, stapling your headshot on telephone poles, etc. And in the process I'm sure you wind up in more than a few O_o productions.

I think it all came at me in such a flood that I'm only in retrospect fully appreciating all of the elements of Mindwipe that reflect a four-year-old's understanding of how the world works, e.g. talking underwater, transplanting organs by simply inserting them into someone's body cavity, etc.
Also the offhand joke (in I think Unsealed?) when deceased future Gregg is brought back to life and somehow also restored to what's referred to as his 'normal age' (presumably so he doesn't have to wear old man makeup anymore).

One my favorite all time characters in motion pictures isn't a person, or an animal, or a gnome, or even a hobbit; it's a sword — a sword called Excalibur. And if you're an Excalibur head, this movie has got quite a number of scenes with the legendary sword, and that's what makes it such a thrilling movie.

On Cinema is canon and everything, but I wonder if you people ("you people") who're about On Cinema are maybe also into the 2 Wet Crew videos that Doug's been making the last few years with Jay Weingarten, Mikey Kampmann, and an assorted cast of regulars from the Mt Washington/Glendale abso-lutely scene, including of course Tim? they're way more surreal (and will use the annoying term Lynchian), but super good.

I feel like they could pull off a little backstory in a graceful enough way that it could be watchable for someone not familiar.

If you think the OCatC universe is nuts, back in the early/mid-90s the EasyGoings/Zip Code Rapists/Three Doctors universe was arguably more insane. It started out as Gregg/John as the Easy-Goings, which through the help of many TFUL282 members, morphed into The Zip Code Rapists and then as time went on (let me know if this sounds familiar) the band's live shows became increasingly passive-aggressive->angry->full on on-stage brawls between Gregg & John... which led to the dissolution of the Zip Code Rapists into a competitive feud between The Three Doctors (led by Gregg and his Caroliner bandmate Brandan Kearney) & Therapist John's Zip Code Revue (led by John), where most of each band's shows would devolve into bad mouthing of the other band (often by the other member in (or out of) disguise heckling from the "crowd") and more brawls.
I did a quick google to see if anyone ever documented all of this in the early web, but I'm having trouble finding any completionist summaries of the proto-Amarillo universe.

i still have season x and the 6th oscars special to go but i can't see how the trial and the 5th oscars special aren't the peak of the show. the trial of george lucas, 20th anniversary of the hbo movie the rat pack, mark almost dying, the mark RIP video having the same song as the electric sun 20 19 video, mark not dying, the jaws cake, and finally gregg's absolutely pointless theory that close encounters of the third kind is the real jaws 2

this was me for a couple years, I recently rewatched 'em all and they are so much better once you're familiar with On Cinema. it explains so much - why Kington is the "Master of Codes", why Tim is so zonked out during the Hawaii season, the whole "Gregg Turkington's Decker vs. Dracula" thing, and why the budget is so much higher from "Decker: Unclassified" on. like my main complaint about Decker was "there's a lot of weird random things going on" but it all makes sense if you watch On Cinema

Even just those moments when Gregg clearly starts ad-libbing about one of his filmic obsessions and Tim loses his cool just before the scene is abruptly cut in the middle of a word. Or Gregg's reaction when Dr. San shows up.

I was laughing very hard in particular at the scene where they decide to fight aliens with the USS Missouri which conveniently came preloaded with live ammunition and super old veterans perched all over the deck in various badass poses, ready to fight. For Decker heads it's a must watch. Only difference is the budget being slightly higher, and the target demo is frat bros.

Saw the brilliant stage show last night. First half was greatest hits: Axiom and Manuel opened the show with "DKR's first live show outside of the United States"; then Tim did a stump speech announcing a second run for D.A; Greg did a solo bit about the Victorville Film Archive and a "university lecture" with a powerpoint about the later careers of the actors from "Oh God"; Dekkar performed four songs including Bohemian Rhapsody, then Joe Estevez was introduced to a thunderous welcome and they all performed "Decker - The Play" (feat. Axiom and Manuel as terrorists). The second half was a long version of the show, ending with the audience submitting questions for "Stump the Buff" and everyone having a great time onstage. They brought the house down.

Strong disagree! It felt like a breaking the fourth wall thing. Everything about that review was perfect, but it was a downer that Gregg called him out on that. He should've discredited Tim just like he did, yet not go into Tim taking the Joker for DeNiro imo.

we met him as a radio sports announcer and followed him for four radio and TV series, an Edinburgh Festival show, an Arena appearance and a presenting gig at the BAFTAs before he launched his national TV talk and variety show, which Roger would know if he actually cared about comedy. this is why people get frustrated when they come to Roger's Movie Nation, they want real expertise, not someone bloviating about a topic they hardly know about

For the trial of Tim Heidecker, did you have actors with legal experience involved, or a legal procedure consultant? I was impressed with how accurate the procedural elements were during the trial.TimandGreggT: Yes, most of the lawyers and the judge were actors with legal experience. They added a lot of their actual expertise and knowledge of the legal process. We are infinitely grateful to them for their contributions.G: The same was true of the police, medical, and emergency response witnesses

It would just be something we put up on the Adult Swim website, as maybe a half hour. But as we were doing it, we realized it was working. It felt right. Our editor gave us a rough, two-hour cut and said “I don’t know, this feels like a movie.”Nathan Fielder [of Nathan for You] looked at it early on and said “guys, this isn’t just for the website. This needs a poster. It needs to get reviewed.” So then we looked to restructure the first half for people who hadn’t watched anything from us.If you watch, say, Making A Murderer or any of the thousand murder documentaries on Netflix, you don’t know everything about these people. A good documentary feeds you the backstory and moves you along. We don’t bombard you with “a film critic who started an EDM festival — “

I love how the Luke verse as employed in the episode doesn't exactly resemble any of the actual major translations of that particular Bible verse, and instead seems cobbled together from several different versions, fudging the meaning just slightly ("homeland" instead of "homestead") — but is still an actual verse

Cappy Ricks (Walter Brennan) has returned home from a long voyage at sea only to find that his family and business are not as he left them... Cappy Ricks knows he has to end the chaos and set things straight. He brings everyone on his ship as there he can be the Captain and in charge. He has a two day excursion extend into an 8 week voyage. Then they are lost on an uninhabited island. And as in other movies of that period, he uses the island to straighten out the arrogance of the rich ladies and the weakness of sons under mothers dominance.

I know they mentioned in a recent interview that they had previously scrapped an arc where Tim dies and is replaced by his twin brother. But they also recently established (I think in Mister America?) that Tim has no siblings currently living so I think that ship has sailed?

so I can't figure out how the Oscar specials are broadcast, the Adult Swim streaming channel doesn't have them all... are these broadcast/streamed live? Is the 2020 one scheduled for Oscar night? Or did I miss something?

they are broadcast live on youtube, adult swim doesn't fund/broadcast them, the telethon is to fund the special

I've just finished Mister America and am only five episodes into season 11, so apologies if this is addressed later in the season or the special: do you think are we meant to take at face value Toni's explanation that it was her own decision to acquit Tim? I always assumed he paid a juror off (presumably with Delgado funds or a job offer, hence campaign manager). OTOH, she seems like a Trump voter so could see her genuinely responding to his insanity.
― blatherskite, Monday, 10 February 2020 18:45 (four years ago) link
my feeling is that she decided to acquit him and only after the trial did they hook up but i don't think it's clear

my partner and i have spent the last year catching up on this and finished just in time for the special last night. some thoughts:
* we both agree that the funniest thing they've done so far is when gregg showed up in the giant suit at the end of season 1 * the victorville season was the best * the trial was amazing-- the fly and tim getting gregg to lie under oath re: star trek was incredible * this is the best comedy of the moment but it's a really hard sell to people. "no no no trust me, it's incredible. but you gotta hang in there for the first 25 episodes"

hard to imagine Tim could pull something like this off without it getting immediately revealed during the trial. he is not exactly a cunning person. my view of it is that Toni is one of those people who gets really into stuff like QAnon - seems normal on the surface but has beliefs that are totally fucking crazy

yeah this is my take too - she presents as normal/competent enough to be Tims liaison to the world as his campaign manager/assistant, but the more time spent listening to her the more clear it becomes that she is a complete mess

Little details that made me laugh:
- Tim thinking Adam Driver had something to do with Fast and the Furious franchise, conflating with him with Paul Walker, who Tim declared several seasons ago should be renamed Paul Driver in honor of the series.
- The Heidecker Quartet actually being a trio, and frequently breaking. (I always wonder if these non-acting extras know the full extent of what will happen, or even what On Cinema is.)
I always assumed Axiom and Manuel were just paid lackeys but their "brotherhood" talk seems sincere at this point.
My girlfriend and I were so anxious during the calm at the table before people passed out, when it was all fairly mundane and sullen: we knew something horrible was bound to happen, especially with everyone gathered together, but no idea what. I was bracing myself for some sort of shooting incident, especially when LaRue entered and I thought the fake Mark might get unruly.
I want to watch this forever but simultaneously wonder how much more things can escalate, considering the body count the show has accumulated. In the long stretch before Axiom burst in, I actually thought this might be the series finale, and would have been satisfied.

the manuel and ax characters are used to portray the archetypal brotherhood/bro-dom exaggerated to absurdity. despite appearing as guitar center dwelling douchebags and being hired guns, manuel is still willling to give the skin off his ass for tim— and ax his hand! even through all the ups and downs of their relationships, they still say they'd be willing to do anything for tim, which is why i think ax eventually showed up at the end of the oscar special. at this point in their character development, they're that dumb kind of loyal like a dog. and they're some of my favorite characters because of it

wondering what kind of scam Tim is trying to pull on Toni, making her sign the annulment quickly and then changing his last name for some reason
also is it implied that he slept with the pastor? the way he kept looking at her instead of Toni...yeeesh
something I just realized now (which I think was supposed to be obvious all along) is that the name of the character in the new Joker is Arthur, something which somehow goes unremarked upon the entire special

Mark Proksch interview.
Between K-Strass and Good Morning Tri-State, what draws you to morning news shows? It’s everywhere, so everyone can relate to it. It’s also the closest thing we have to amateur television that’s on every single day. Especially in smaller towns, there’s a realness there, where the person who went to high school with you is now the weatherwoman. There’s that familiarity that is interesting to me. Playing around in that local-news world is really fun.That’s what makes us all laugh. We’ve been doing these watch parties every Saturday night — me, Tim, Gregg, Jason Woliner, Fielder — where we’re watching dumb stuff, awful YouTube videos and such. The real world is infinitely funnier than anything that anyone could script.

I don't really find it surprising. it's a show which could only appeal to total heads. not going to win over many people flicking between channels. the youtube episodes don't even do particularly spectacular numbers. they have to fundraise to make the Oscar special every year. seems very much like a labour of love from them rather than something adult swim is keen for them to keep making

I saw him do pretty much this exact same set in 2015, except instead of his nag wife wanting to go to the opera, she said she wanted to go see the band Train. So he tells a story about driving to the Ticketmaster (complete with mouth sound effects of a car driving to Ticketmaster) and when he tells the guy there he wants two tickets to Train, the guy says "what do you think this is, Amtrak?"

Tim's music influence is dad rock as far as I can tell but he seems to know a lot about top level indie stuff too. Is that corny in 2020? I don't think so. It is hip to un-ironically like music that was previously firmly cheese & corn. Who doesn't like Elote?

Wow the end of that bit hit close to home. A certain someone in my family loves to tell stories about how wherever they go, their [mundane reason or "snarky comment"] gets all sorts of disproportionately animated reactions out of other people, like Tim's grocery store cashier in the bit. Sorry, but I've seen you out in public and I know for a fact that you aren't constantly blowing people's minds and/or shocking them with your wit or your t-shirt or whatever it is you claim gets these cartoonish "reactions" all the time. So, Tim nailed it. I mean, that character (standup Tim?) might be my favorite character... he really gets the type of person he is parodying.

Gregg’s stream ostensibly started 14 minutes before Tim’s (but in practice was running a few minutes late, and lagged more as it went on). Try starting them with that split, and you can pause to sync them later if it doesn’t line up right.

one thing I really love about this series is how all the various parts are played by actors from totally different backgrounds with varying levels of acting skill. including a bunch of people you'll never see in a comedy show again. what other show has a cast like this?
― frogbs, Tuesday, 27 April 2021 04:07 (three years ago) link
the real MVP is joe estevez. his improv skills are underrated. although it's impossible to work out how much is scripted and improv.
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Tuesday, 27 April 2021 09:07 (three years ago) link
I doubt much of anything that they have Estevez do (outside of Decker) is scripted in terms of learning lines, but iirc he's briefed more than the other regulars on the overall plot.
You get the impression, by contrast, Michael Matthews was given basically no prep for this: while his glee and confidence as Laroux in earlier stuff sell the character as created, here it felt like the actor was told nothing, so his own haplessness at improv sold Laroux' out-of-depthness.
― bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Tuesday, 27 April 2021 09:46 (three years ago) link
during "The LaRoux Report" there's the part where Gregg says "this report has no legal standing" and he goes "yes, it does" and that gets both Gregg and Tim to break so I imagine that line was ad-libbed
agreed though that Joe is the best, he's kind of the perfect companion for both of them - he's appeared in 200 movies but doesn't have anything interesting to say about any of them, and he's good-natured and affable enough to put up with Tim. plus he's enough of a D-lister to genuinely appreciate any kind of show who would want to honor him. he's probably my favorite guest on the show.
Toni is also very good, her character is very recognizable but not something you see represented a lot on screen. very dark humor to the bits where she's like "uh-oh, Tim's mad at me again!" and just heads to the bar (despite possibly being pregnant). only part of that character that doesn't work for me is her son who is way way too good looking to be a pissbottle gamer

the part at 50:30: link
― eisimpleir (crüt), Tuesday, 27 April 2021 17:03 (three years ago) link
I guess it makes sense in that Tim naturally gravitates towards good looking people - his DKR buds were (presumably) chosen for their looks, the CGI Tom Cruise Heidecker was a male model, he's always very particular about what people wear on the show - so maybe he just wants to be a father figure to him b/c he's good looking
yeah it was hard to work out how much of that was intentional. she clearly broke character when Tim was ripping off the posters but some of that was intended to be nervous laughter - watching her entire pyramid scheme crumble on live TV as Tim was wearing the face mask (which I thought really worked because Tim complains about literally everything), it felt like she was laughing just to assure the audience "it's okay, he's not really hurt". also I've kind of gathered her character is drunk all the time and possibly marked by past traumas and therefore she doesn't really give a shit about anything anymore

Somehow never heard about this show til like a year ago, despite loving Tim & Eric, but slowly watching everything in order has been an incredible time. Just finished season 8 on the timeline. Even with everything that's happened, the original elements of the show are still the funniest part / only get funnier. Though the most I laughed was probably the stock photo reveal at the end of each Port of Call: Hawaii: Save the Island opening -- caught me off guard every single time.

have been rewatching the series and catching a lot of stuff that I missed - first time "Empty Bottle" is played, Tim (presumably) puts the movie rating crawl at the bottom once the verses start, only to pull it once the "fill me up again" chorus starts, then puts it back during the hilariously bad second guitar solo

check back in once you hit Lucky Season 7, for that is where the show goes truly off the rails, never to return - it's got the Ant Man/Fantastic 4 episode, the introduction of Axiom and "Empty Bottle", Decker vs. Dracula, the first VFA episode, the Dr. San Forgiveness Special, and the Tom Cruise Jr story, plus probably the funniest/wildest intro segments and shoddy editing jokes...probably the single best season

trying to figure out why I like this show so much, besides "it's just my kind of humor"
part of it is the common "person out of their element" trope done in a more meta way. it's not just that they're bad actors, they don't know how to produce a show either. it captures that local commercial/public access vibe really well - shoddy graphics, stock music, every remotely complex segment goes horribly wrong. I've always loved stuff like that, I could watch weird local news segments go off the rails all day. one of OC's biggest strengths is the diversity of its cast, every character feels like they have a totally different background, and it's not in acting. like Axiom and Manuel are really exactly who they appear to be on the show, I think that's cool
another thing is I love the sense of self-importance they both have. reminds me of the early-00's internet days when people would have shitty webcomics or fanfic that would get like some small amount of traffic and suddenly they'd think they were big celebrities, constantly updating their webpage with whatever boring things they were up to and penning big dramatic responses to whatever criticism they'd get. OC captures that really well
― frogbs, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 18:30 (three years ago) link
i loved how Gregg pettily chose "Jack Reacher" as his worst movie of the year simply because Tim chose it as his favorite and decided to shit on James Bond

funniest moment for me is Decker abruptly shooting the nation's Top Military General in the head in the courtroom and the judges just react by yelling at him "You better have a good explanation for this!"
second best is the Vice President (this is a Tim & Eric Awesome Show guy, right?) hanging his head and saying "Yeah, its true. I made a deal with the devil and...I guess I'm just gonna have to pay for it"

ok I looked up what happened to the James Dean actor, apparently he started going into mental decline so they had to stop using him. its not really explained in-universe.
one thing I found out though is that he was legitimately spooked during the Oscar Special where he's introduced and Tim goes off on him, I guess he wasn't expecting him to explode like that and thought the anger might've been real. the "I'll pull my knife out" line was unscripted, Gregg says "stop putting the camera on him" presumably so someone can explain to him what's going on
makes me wonder who in the OC universe maybe wasn't quite aware of what was going on. Dee Thompson (the dude who snuck into the Oscars) was definitely not an act but I think he was one of those guys who will just go anywhere he's invited. Larry Turman (the guest reviewer/professor on an early season) seemed genuinely annoyed with Gregg, I could almost buy that he wasn't quite in on the joke
the one I really wonder about are the Rat Pack impersonators who were there to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Rat Pack movie. the Dean Martin/Joe Mantegna impersonator in particular keeps cracking these lame one-liners which are totally at odds with the humor of the show and it seems to catch Tim off guard ("You're trying to upstage me!"), it's like they were told it was a comedy show but not much else. they also appear to be genuinely surprised when they get booted out!

the OCX episode after the VR stuff (where the Delgados finally get to Tim) is some amazing shit, Tim's bit about standing on the bridge threatening suicide unless he can get On Cinema back is maybe his finest moment as an actor. he's so good at expressing that brooding, barely-concealed rage while others are talking, all the episodes where he has to play it "straight" to appease the Delgados are so good

the Toni Newman character is so great because she's someone who's so recognizable in real life; the "wine mom" who seems fun and affable but once you get to know her you realize she has some truly insane beliefs and drinks as a way to cope with the abuse her husband is putting her through. I know neighbors and people at work who are just like that, they're kind of sympathetic characters but also happen to post a lot of anti-vaxx shit on Facebook. despite that you rarely see a character like that on screen. they really found the perfect actress for it too.

He’s such a perfect addition to this show - gives Tim’s endeavors some legitimacy since he has an actual actor with an IMDB page, while also being like a personal hero for Gregg as a guy who’s been in 200-some “popcorn classics” and has tenuous connections to everyone

also the fact that he's constantly slipping in and out of the WC Fields voice
i'm on season five, right in the middle of the jacksonhole storyline (hog shots!!!), and the funniest thing in the world is tim, legally blinded after getting into an accident on his (stationary) motorcycle, having the movie descriptions piped into an earpiece because he'd rather that than gregg read them, and of course this makes them far longer and more riddled with errors

c/ped from another site about the wrap party a couple days ago:
There was just a live Q&A for Hei Network annual subscribers with Tim, Gregg, Eric Notarnicola, Vera Drew, Andrew Porter, Justin Gaynor. It was a rare appearance by Gregg out of any character (though he was calling in from his car). Some of the things they covered:They mentioned that a lot of the characterization in general comes from the wardrobes first. Gregg does some of the eBay buying for the Gregg character's wardrobe, and there may be a Glenn Beck-inspired look for Tim in the future. Tripp Spencer came from Gregg just deciding to get cornrows because his filming was done, and then needing to do more filming.The Hei Network gives them a lot more freedom than Adult Swim, but also new stress of being the ones who have to decide what their budget limits areThe first season of Xposed is coming "very soon." Tim talked about how much he enjoyed the Xposed pilot and laughed crying watching it.The 7 Minutes in Heaven idea is still going to be produced.They have more ideas for Decker, but still don't own the rights for it. But they're going to eventually make what is essentially more Decker under the new name John Jacob Dennicker.The HEI Points form was just written as a joke by Tim off the cuff for fun, and doesn't seem like it will have any impact on anything.One of the plot ideas they had for when (the fictional) On Cinema was owned by Chaplin's was that Chaplin's would be purchased by an oil company, and as a result On Cinema would be filmed at a gas station to air on those mini video screens that play when you fill your car up at the gas pump.Vera Drew's personal view is that neither the Tim nor Gregg characters actually watch any of the movies they "review."Gregg mentioned that they did have an idea to definitively end the show at the end of season 10 in a way that there was "no coming back from." Eric Notarnicola did mention that he personally had an idea to make everyone die from Gregg's car in the Oscar special but he didn't run it past anyone.Most of the show is done in two takes, but there are also a number of single takes. Most of Mr. America was shot in one take.Gregg sometimes will get popcorn stuck in his throat while filming.Vera mentioned wanting an On Cinema video game.All of them talked about looking for more ways to make the whole On Cinema experience even more interactive with the fans than it is.Tim filmed Popcorn Shuffle, and Tim edits most of Gregg's segments, because he likes editing as a hobby.

seasons 7 & 8 are definitely where it turned from "this is really good" to "this one of my favorite things ever."
im sure i posted about it at the time, but the s11 "on defense" segments where tim was waving around guns and dry-firing them at himself and into the camera were some of the most unforgettably disturbing moments of the whole series for me. bc by that point the shows logic had been established where it was definitely not out of the realm of possibility that tims character would accidentally shoot himself in the head point blank on camera.

I'm more than happy to pay for it but the fact that you can't just like, YouTube it kinda sucks. I can cast it of course but casting is laggy at my house for some reason and kind of a hassle
probably having a couple of OC freaks over for the Oscar Special so I really hope they get things sorted out
Valentines Day special was great. Wendy Kirby sure does know how to look uncomfortable. Why was Tim all zonked out (again) in the end? He looked like he was roofied which has a uh....pretty dark implication
― frogbs, Friday, 18 February 2022 04:39 (two years ago) link
I thought the same, though it could also be an after effect of health problems stemming from his all-shake diet. Tim’s in-character explanation was, “Those concerned with my health need not worry, aside from my diabetes which has returned I was so excited about the special i was administered a mild sedative intravenously before our acoustic Empty Bottle performance."
― blatherskite, Friday, 18 February 2022 15:03 (two years ago) link
in a members-only hei network article he claimed he was drowsy due to a mild sedative administered intravenously that apparently was necessary b/c he was so excited about the special

every appearance of Manuel he is more and more like Tommy Wiseau. specifically the way he acts as "Johnny" in The Room.
one thing I love about Heidecker's stuff is how he finds people who are just naturally funny and just makes room for them in the series. I can't think of anything else that has such a strange and assorted cast

took a break from my rewatch when i got to mister america, but i've since resumed and just finished oscar special 8. i was legitimately going to produce a ranking with detailed explanations of each placement (e.g. i feel like anytime one of gregg's finales is sort of good/successful it's automatically a lesser oscar special, cf. the living painting, kramer vs. kramer 2), but it turns out they're still very hard to rank. 5 (jaws 2, mark suffocates) is my pick for the best, 7 on its heels for containing gregg's best finale

finally going to watch the heilots and season 12! i'm so excited
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Monday, 28 February 2022 16:06 (two years ago) link
one consistent thing about the Oscar Specials is that the Mark Proksch bits are always the funniest parts, so I was bummed that he was barely in the last one. god the 6th Special where he's hooked up to all those life support machines and Gregg is "interviewing" him, asking why so and so wasn't nominated and getting the response "It was a truuuue traaagedy"...a soundbite from one of the earlier Oscar specials
when I rewatched the 5th one I was left wondering if anyone watching live actually thought something happened to Mark? they break the 4th wall just enough in that part, you definitely don't feel like you're watching a comedy anymore
― frogbs, Monday, 28 February 2022 16:14 (two years ago) link
i would make the same argument, with the only exception being that mark isn't in 7 at all. 7 was very special though, the culmination of everything that had been building since tim's tantrum at the end of season 10 and mister america
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Monday, 28 February 2022 16:17 (two years ago) link
I watched the 5th Oscar Special live, and while I didn't think Mark was actually in IRL danger, it was definitely the most shocking thing I'd seen on the series by that point
― aegis philbin (crüt), Monday, 28 February 2022 16:19 (two years ago) link
and gregg's concept for the 7th special was perfect: dressed as the joker, the mobile vfa decked out with arthur memorabilia intended as a preview for the next year's 40th anniversary celebration...
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Monday, 28 February 2022 16:20 (two years ago) link
i forgot to mention this at the time but one of the most amazing scenes in season x is when it cuts to a gregg segment and in the 360 vr view you can see mark in bed hooked up to machines
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Monday, 28 February 2022 16:31 (two years ago) link
For me the “James Dean” reveal ending of one of the earlier Oscar Specials was the most shocking mainly because I wasn’t sure if the guy was aware what was going on, or if he actually believed he was James Dean.
― Johnny Mathis der Maler (Boring, Maryland), Monday, 28 February 2022 18:21 (two years ago) link
that was the third one! which is probably my favorite after 5 and 7. mark as the three stooges is the peak of comedy
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Monday, 28 February 2022 18:31 (two years ago) link
as far as I could gather the James Dean guy was the sort of person who appeared on Tim & Eric, they're acting but maybe not 100% aware of what the show is or what kind of humor they're going for. from what I've heard the bit in the Oscar Special where Tim is really yelling at him wound up rattling him and he had to be calmed down after the shoot. I guess the panic in his eyes was real. also seems he was declining mentally pretty quickly which is why he had to be replaced in Decker.

I would love more Rock House, I think it's super cool when this show gets way outside of its own universe. that's what makes the trial so great. also Ax and Manuel are just naturally funny in this context. its so on the nose it almost could've aired as-is on MTV 10 years ago
Xposed is also really funny but the humor is very similar to Decker. Rock House is just something else entirely
― frogbs, Tuesday, 1 March 2022 20:36 (two years ago) link

Behind the scenes of the bizarro ‘On Cinema Oscar Special’
“My character is in self-imposed isolation from reality,” Turkington says, “and Tim’s is a psycho. He’s just a bad guy, and people are happy when they escape his clutches. Tim also doesn't know anything about movies, but he knows that I’m full of shit. Though he does believe that I have some movie knowledge that is helpful to the show. I just think that, unfortunately — like a lot of relationships — we don’t like each other, but we need each other.”

I don't understand. Single ticket cost $12 but "$10 for monthly subscribers". Oh OK, where's the monthly package? Only thing available is a $55 annual membership package that says the oscar special is free to stream and replay (so explicitly not $10). Is the monthly package just not an option?

there was a dog in the film but it was not that dog and “the power of the dog” means something far less literal in the context of the film and tim getting it so wrong was on the order of gregg insisting that the wonka prequel is directed by tim burton (it’s not)

The way that Chaplin’s Chili is progressively diminished as a franchise in each special is one of my favorite small recurring gags. Also adds to the “trapped in hell" atmosphere—despite Tim commenting each year on how gross the chili is, they are always back the next year.

listening to Office Hours today it looks like Mark has Covid and Joe got sick (not Covid), which is why neither appeared. must've been some pretty fast n' furious rewriting taking place

also apparently there was a huge downpour 12 hours after filming. I wonder what their contingency plan was, or if it was just "fuck it, it's SoCal"?

its weird to see them keep referring to Decker as Dennicker without really acknowledging why they had to change the name. just say the Delgados got it, okay? kind of a bummer because "Decker of Cards" would've worked so well

and then later, i think they only offer the first half (first hour of 2 hours) on youtube and you have to be a subscriber to watch the whole thing
honestly, i rarely delve into office hours, or even the best show. they're just too long. even on cinema, which i love...i'm still back on season 8 or 9, trying to catch up. it's a lot
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 17 November 2022 17:12 (two years ago) link
i've grown to really love office hours. the dynamic between tim, doug, and vic is really enjoyable, they balance out tim's abrasive persona that he slips in and out of. never seen/heard the best show and my only exposure to tom sharpling was his guest appearance on office hours, which i didn't find notable, so not sure what to expect today
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 17 November 2022 17:27 (two years ago) link
tim's abrasive persona that he slips in and out of
yeah, it was kind of jarring to see him on best show because...it just kind of came off as rude, heh. i'm not super familiar with best show but they had two kind of regulars on the line, on the telephone, throughout, and when one of them said something over the phone early on, tim seemed genuinely startled and annoyed that a voice could just come on the line, and he goes "who is this?", the guy said his name (i forgot), and then he said "you'll address me when i ask you to address me", or something like that. and it was kiiiinda funny? but then, he never went back to him again, for like the next 2 hours! instead, he completely ignored the whole best show crew that was on set and on the phone and instead just talked to two comedian friends that he invited, and they just kind of did the show by themselves with the best show people watching in silence.
as i type that out, it kind of seems like a bit, but...not really? i know comedians are just kind of rude, in general, but i didn't really enjoy watching that.
in contrast, when tom guest hosts office hours i full expect him to do interact a bunch with vic berger and dj douggpound
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 17 November 2022 17:36 (two years ago) link
that does sound very awkward. the way tim interacts with callers on office hours can be painful sometimes, but callers really are boring much of the time and he seems to recognize that being abrasive can lead to some hilarious moments and also serves to keep things moving along quickly
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 17 November 2022 17:54 (two years ago) link
yeah its funny because both both tim and tom obviously have hosting personas where they are jokingly rude & insulting to their cohosts, but each of those personas grew within the very specific & delicate personal dynamics of their individual shows, so what seems like gentle ribbing in one context can be very awkward & uncomfortable in another. i almost wish they would do it again, maybe once a year or something, because i feel like Tim would get a lot better on the Best Show once he got more comfortable with it & had a better sense of things.
― waste of compute (One Eye Open), Thursday, 17 November 2022 18:03 (two years ago) link
oh shoot, forgot to actually post this here:
there was also this very awkward moment, the most awkward, in the last hour of the show. the one best show person that tim was acknowledging (because he was in the room) was the producer, jason, and he announced that the final hour would be a "no complaints" session, in which tim would not be allowed to complain. i think this might be a best show tradition, but i'm not sure, and tbh it seemed like tim wasn't sure either. then, jason announced that the special topic of the hour for callers would be to say what they think the best work tim has made, and then the very worst that he has made, and then reiterated that tim was not allowed to complain. tim seemed very uncomfortable with this, and if he was being intentional/comedic about it, i will say it was one of the greatest, most believable and subtle performances i've ever seen. if it was fake, he fooled me. he just seemed very unsure about the whole thing.
for most of the hour, the 'no complaining' and 'say your favorite and least favorite tim production' rules were fine, with the normal people who called in. (at the same time, they were also doing a worst 20 beatles list/brainstorming sesh, so that ate up most of the conversation). but then, near the end of the show they brought back 2 of the Best Show voices, the two guys on the telephone who were very briefly included as part of the show in the first 10 minutes and then completely ignored thereafter until this very point, near the end of the show. and one of the guys just kind of tore into tim's mistreatment of him on the show, how he had been completely ignored, referencing several times about meeting tim before the show and that how nice it was, but clearly mocking it, clearly it wasn't a good encounter, before the show. it went on for a while and then tim really had no real response -- again, if he was faking it he has become a fine actor, full stop -- and producer jason reiterated that it was a no complaint hour. it was very awkward! but also very gripping.
at the end of the show as they were signing off tim was, predictably, asking for reviews of his performance (one of the best show guys gave him 4 stars, lol), and jason mentioned what had happened earlier and explained that the guy on the phone was just doing a bit and he does it to everyone, that tom would have broken, etc. but tim didn't seem to believe that at all and frankly neither do i!
lol! i am actually going to xpost this to the best show thread because they will know a lot more about all of it, i'm sure.
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 17 November 2022 18:17 (two years ago) link
i contemplated calling in but i'm glad i did not. there were only two things i could think of to talk about. one was an idea tim had earlier in the show, a prompt which starts "The Earth's population crossed 8 billion people today. But still, ..." and then he wanted people to suggest possible joke endings for that. that idea bombed, no one mentioned it and it was just dropped. but i thought i could call in and suggest "but still, we're gonna keep counting the number of people", which seemed really funny to me for a minute but i think would be brutally torn down by tim and probably hurt my feelings. the second thing was that i was going to give him an honest answer on the worst production he's done, which is the million dollar movie. i have some thoughts on that movie and saw it in the theater with someone whose personality and sense of humor is the exact opposite of tim heidecker. later, i realized that my thoughts would have been very boring and would have taken too long to explain. i also realized it was called billion dollar movie, not million dollar movie, and that they would have called me out on that and i would have improvised a joke about how it barely looked like a million dollar movie tbh, and that would have bombed. finally, while reading about billion dollar movie i learned his wife was produced that one

I love Office Hours, though I don't watch it regularly I have a real hard time shutting it off when I do
Tim definitely gets defensive in interviews sometimes and there are lots of times when I wonder if he's being a jerk or doing a bit. In fact that's kind of his whole comedic persona. fwiw I think it's not the worst quality in a podcast host since he's generally good at figuring out which bits and which callers are actually gonna result in something good, rather than just humoring everyone.
fwiw I've heard a lot of nice things about him privately. there are stories about him after shows hanging out, signing stuff and taking pictures with everyone, which is something I wouldn't really expect I guess
― frogbs, Thursday, 17 November 2022 18:31 (two years ago) link
xpost oh god, i would never call in. i'm fully aware i can't handle the humiliation of being a bad caller. and it's kind of random what turns into a decent conversation and what gets ridiculed anyway
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 17 November 2022 19:06 (two years ago) link
I called in one time, went well. I asked about a mention of a very early Tim & Eric performance (opening for The Shins live at Maxwell's) in the Yo La Tengo book. Then I said hi to Doug because I'd been exchanging music with him via email.
― Evan, Thursday, 17 November 2022 20:01 (two years ago) link
Tim can be brutal to callers but as a caller you have to have good awareness as to whether you are bringing any dull and/or try-hard energy. If neither you'll be fine.
― Evan, Thursday, 17 November 2022 20:03 (two years ago) link
Also I don't think Tim was uncomfortable at all at Best Show, and I don't think the guy (Pat?) giving Tim shit went over Tim's head. Tim has done so so so many "tense uncomfortable confrontation" bits in his career. Very experienced in playing that situation from either angle.

I overhead my partner debating with her sister about a Furby she had as a kid. She insisted she had the new millennium edition, but the photo on Wikipedia didn't match her memory of its fur being silver tinsel. Turns out, it was actually a "champagne" edition. She argued that was close enough, since people popped champagne on Y2k New Year's Eve. It struck me as a very Gregg bit of reasoning.

is there a term for how this show is scripted but also kind of "real"? most of the characters use their real names (and both main guys tweet in character), a lot of the stuff is based on real events (Gregg really was in Ant-Man and on AMC, Decker is an actual show, the "Queen of Hearts" lady was picked because she was in Arthur, the tune Tim nicked "Empty Bottle" from was an actual song by those guys, etc.), and most of the reactions seem genuine. like in this one when they're showing the people watching the dashcam footage on their phones it actually does seem real. they're having conversations but you can't hear what they're saying, it all feels improvised and very candid. I'm not sure I can think of another show quite like that.

― frogbs, Thursday, 15 February 2024 19:29 (ten months ago) link
This season has been so good They really excel at introducing new characters with vaguely unplaceable deals, & the soap opera of it all means they burn through comedic premises at an irresponsible rate, and still the core cast is maybe funnier than they’ve ever been: mark, larue, dekkar, joe (who deserves an Emmy or an Oscar whichever is greater). That bit last ep when gregg rinse-chewed the popcorn for ages before launching right into his review fucking murdered me, that’s the kind of T-1000 implacability you only get by being Neil hamburger

― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 15 February 2024 20:11 (ten months ago) link
what I love about the cast is that they all seem to come from different backgrounds and skill levels. none of them are really comedic actors. some of them are just basically themselves...the Dekkar guys really are Italian musicians, Joe is just Joe, a lot of the bit characters for the Oscar specials come across like they don't know what's going on - I still don't think the Rat Pack guys really 'got' what OC was about, and I'm pretty sure some insider mentioned that the Tim/"James Dean" confrontation at the end of one was so intense because the James Dean actor thought the real Tim was actually yelling at him
the reason why this works so well is because On Cinema is, at its core, sort of a reality show. I mean we know it's scripted, but the movies are obviously real movies, most actors use their real names and are clearly playing versions of themselves, and the saga plays out across the episodes and various social media things, so it seems way more 'real' than say an episode of The Office. like the ending of this one really did make my jaw drop, which wouldn't happen in a regular comedy where everything is based around punchlines, nor would it in a drama series where you expect dramatic things to happen. but in the OC world it feels just real enough to give you some sort of emotional reaction.

I normally get a lot out of Joey's take, but Greg is right; Kung-fu Panda 4 is an all time classic on the same level as the Godfather 1 and 2. Love what Joey's bringing to this season, but he needs to stand down and take some movie wisdom from the buff

lol what the hell
Posted on March 8, 2024 by Host T. AmatoI couldn’t be more excited to begin this three day journey into the unknown and into our future as a company, and as a leader in entrepreneurial and visionary leadership experiences.It’s been a tremendous amount of work, and I’m definitely learning as I go along. And while I have high hopes that this weekend will be a major success, I can only imagine how much better Amanda Con 2025 will be knowing what we know now.It’s been tremendously stressful and time-consuming for me. Juggling not only preparation for this, but dealing with the sad and unfortunate funeral of my stepson, Matt Newman, and caring, tending for and using tenderness and love to comfort my ex-wife Tony Newman. She needs me now more than ever.It also came as a shock to me when my dad surprisingly announced he would not tolerate any facial hair at Amato con from its presenters. It was too late and nearly impossible to create conditions for the audience to be hairless when it comes to their facial features, but I was forced to comply and have chosen due to his insistence that I become totally clean shaven for the weekend.Tony Newman was furious at this decision as she had grown attracted to my goatee, and I have received many, many compliments.In fact, just the other day, a barista at a local coffee shop complemented on how handsome my goatee, (the hair that which surrounds my mouth and down onto my chin) appeared to her. She gave me a free cup of coffee, and also complemented in general on the salt pepper look of my hair and facial hair as being very attractive.It is unknown why dad was so furious and to quote him “nauseous” over my facial hair. He was like I’ve never seen him before: extremely upset.Dad is a kind and merciful man, but he was screaming over this, and it felt like the only way to, stop him from reacting so dramatically was to just suck it up and shave the goatee. After all it is hair and will grow back.

wondering about that car that showed up in the last episode, thought it was just some random person but watching it again it seems kind of clear that both T. and G. knew who it was. also just kind of remembered that Tim got kidnapped two specials ago when the G.

xps when they were arguing Tim said to G something about having been busy dealing with Matt’s murder & said “I asked you for help, I didn’t ask you to do that”I think it’s pretty much what we’ve all assumed over the course of this season tbh, senile mobster g Amato sent Joey to intimidate Toni so she wouldn’t testify against Tim, he killed Matt insteadI just don’t know what all this means for baboon

my guess with all this is the Amatos need to launder a ton of money which is why they found all of Tim's 'properties' attractive, including HEI Points. G. Amato is the boss but Joey is probably the one really in charge. he probably had Amato's son killed and is obviously invovled with Kaili. but I guess they see Tim as an asset and someone who they really don't want investigated since he's now tied up with their criminal enterprise. the original plan with Toni was probably just to intimidate her but Call of Duty expert Matt Newman perhaps knew something may be up (since he was apparently talking on Discord about it?) and things went south. guessing Matt's father knows about his shadiness too which is why there was a scene at the funeral. so Tim didn't really 'approve' the plan but he knew what was happening. they could've gotten away with it too if not for both Tim and Joey being such hotheads

Well joey does bottle things up Another way to see it though is that Gregg is just so annoying that it might end up bringing down the Amato crime family

also is G. Amato the first person to actually point out the shoddiness of the production like that? I know Tim and Gregg needle each other over their stuff a lot but overall it seems everyone in-universe is happy to play along and pretend On Cinema is some legit enterprise, Amato going "well it was clear this was not very good" was the first time I think a character ever started the obvious like that

in the Office Hours Patreon Tim gives credit to the "crowd" who did a remarkable job of staying stonefaced the whole time, which apparently caused IRL Tim to wonder if any of the bits were landing. though I did see one audience member really struggle to keep it together when "Big Bird" came out

Scorsese’s secret life as an obsessive VHS archivist
It’s a shame the show’s season has ended—I can easily imagine Gregg boasting of how he’s in talks with Scorsese re: the VFA, similar to the storyline about him writing to Tim Burton.
― blatherskite, Tuesday, 2 April 2024 13:19 (nine months ago) link
Rewatching currently, hit season 9 and the back-end of that season is a massive peak in this show. Particularly the run of ep 7. Gregg and Mark shit all over Tim killing 20 kids, ep 8. Joe comes in to tell his potato story while calling Tim who informs he’ll be out for the next episode and looks forward to watching last weeks episode and ep 9. “On the advice of my council, we are here to talk about the movies”
― H.P, Monday, 15 April 2024 03:07 (eight months ago) link
that slow zoom in on their faces during that part where Mark & Gregg find out Tim is going to be back is hilarious but also one of those moments that weirdly bothers me, like it's the kind of humor that SNL does, which is kind of the polar opposite of how On Cinema is

Yeah, it’s a break in style, but I think it makes sense in-universe! The ‘production’ crew are Tim’s lackeys and have no respect for Gregg (There’s an earlier episode where Gregg says to cut the lights and they don’t, waiting for Tim’s direction).
― H.P, Monday, 15 April 2024 03:14 (eight months ago) link
My stupid fan-theory: the “production” is some lovecraftian, beastly apparatus of Tim. The show will never stop, because Tim is the show. His cosmic weight instantly pulls in all passer-by’s to have their life’s destroyed through the mundanity of two, soulless men reading movie synopses and muttering “5 bags, and 2 bags of soda”. The production is the beast

Gregg finds so much joy in Tim murdering 20 kids that when he finally gets an episode to himself to host, he can’t even talk about the movies. Now that’s a 5 bagger move

see thats something I really love about it, the constant bickering and sniping between them would feel kinda forced if not for the fact that they really do each have dozens of reasons to hate each other. its a very palpable hatred that a lot of comedies use but don't really earn the way this show does
― frogbs, Monday, 15 April 2024 03:28 (eight months ago) link
Otm. The hate is palpable, it’s the fuel to every episode.
Watching the Trial for the second time and it’s an amazing piece of satire on how Trump won the presidency. Maybe obvious to others, my Australian eyes didn’t see it the first time tho

Tim is genuinely great in how he is able to catch the vibe of a certain type of American guy without going in for obvious parody of specific people. Tim also seems to have a good sense of detecting right-wing trends early, like his character's turn to alternative medicine long before COVID (because of "Obamacare")*
*Like during the Obama administration I noticed the right-wingers in my Washington exurb start to get interested in what had previously been left-coded things like backyard chickens and acupuncture because Obamacare poisoned all our food and medicine.

xps tim & Gregg have a Walt-Jesse level toxic relationship at this point, so much ill feeling but they can’t extricate themselves from each other — & there are moments where they reveal they do sort of care for each other a bit, but always in an ultimately abusive way It’s very funny how they both seem not fully conscious of how much the hatred is driving how they think, like Tim basing his whole self-help cult around the idea that watching lots of films is dangerous or Gregg spinning his resentment of dekkar into a dislike of all music

This is a Great Film!uscfilmgrad200021 February 2004I am always amused when anonymous reviewers attempt to criticizes actors and filmmakers here at IMDb.com. Most of the time I simply read the reviews and chuckle. But, in regard to this film, I feel like I really need to put in my two cents, because it seems that most of the reviewers are either missing the point of this film or simply want to attack the filmmakers, (for whatever reason).First of all, I am grad film student at U.S.C. In one of my classes we went through the three films associated with the project, THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN, RETURN OF THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN, and LEGEND OF THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN, frame by frame. So, I believe I know these films as well as anyone, expect maybe the filmmaker. And, 'Yes,' I have gone to both Scott Shaw's and Donald G. Jackson's websites and have read what they have had to say about these films. What I have to say is that they accomplished exactly what they set out to do; to make a completely nontraditional, art based, film.Now, I am not saying this is the greatest film every. What I am saying, however, is that the filmmakers used every element at their disposable to, as they put it, 'Push the envelope,' of film-making.If you look at what Donald G. Jackson and Scott Shaw accomplished in this film, with out any of the computer technology which became available after this film was made, they did one hell of a great job. The camera work is great, the editing is great, the story line, (or lack of one), is also great. What I think they really accomplished is to be the first to bring an MTV style of edit to a full length feature film. Or, three in this case.Not only are these films visually inspirational, but they brought together a great cast. I mean look at the acting careers of Karen Black, Don Stroud, and William Smith. If actors of that caliber embraced this film, how is a person who has no background in either acting or film-making qualified to criticize it. I mean you may not like Indy Art Films, but a Scott Shaw says on his website, 'You may not like the art of Picasso but you can not say it is not art!'There are a lot of reviewers who claim they could make a better film. As I always say to people who make this claim, 'Let's see it.'I briefly met both Scott Shaw and Donald G. Jackson when they gave a lecture at the DGA, Director's Guild of America, a couple of years ago. They were both very nice men and have held true to their ideal of pushing the boundaries of traditional film-making. I believe they are both an inspiration and the nonsensical criticism of this film should cease. People should open their eyes and see this movie for what it is, an inspiration to Indy Filmmaker that you can make a nontraditional film and push the boundaries of the accepted and the expected.10 out of 31 found this helpful
