the trial is astonishingly great. you HAVE to watch the full thing and not just the highlights.

the whole of season 9 seems to be an extended satire on how annoying having dinner service at the Alamo Drafthouses is

the satire of the kind of fake fancy junk food you get in north america - e.g. everything coming with truffle aoili - was very good

I would say you can watch highlights of the trial until Tim fires his attorney and starts defending himself, then switch to the full thing

no!!!!!!!

a couple of my old acquaintances recently started a video game podcast. I listened to one episode and thought about On Cinema the whole time. one of the guys has probably played 20,000 hours of video games but has absolutely nothing insightful to say about them, it's so spot on that I've almost come to view Tim & Gregg as real people

Has anyone started an On On Cinema at the Cinema podcast yet

lol

I just watched shakey's clip the other day. It wouldn't be nearly as beautiful without the interviewer's overt lack of interest in Gregg's banalities.

Can you guess which album changed Gregg's life?

trying to get into this... its humour is not completely lost on me but it’s also extremely fn boring... hmm

It's probably okay to just stop if you don't feel like it's a five-bagger.

"Do you find yourself struggling with..."

"...mental health issues?"

think ill stay at it for a lil longer

What have you watched / listened to so far?

Me, I just bore witness to the cancellation of Decker season 3 this evening, so it's difficult to put myself back in the headspace of several years ago when I watched a handful of On Cinemas and said 'IDGI'. Suffice it say, I'm glad I got over myself.

now we will never know if Agent Kington would have defeated Dracula

The effects at Dracula's castle were a whole 'nother level of special. I particularly liked the table that followed Gregg around for a while.

hey guys

"as we all remember so many years ago, a couple of years ago we had the death of osama bin laden, killed in action after we spent years hunting him for the murder of 9/11"

I would've liked to see Sasha Baron Cohen play the Osama role

this is already amazing by episode 9

omg I am on the trial now

"What led to your prior arrests?"
"... Misunderstandings"

"Objection! ... Tonguetwister?"

i'm pretty much where brad is, i think - i watched all of S1 in one sitting and loved it. absolutely drove my partner crazy though, i think.

i love all the talk about how good it is to see some famous, sometimes washed up, actor "back on the big screen"

we haven't seen russell crowe in a while

"It's great seeing Brendan Frasier back in a movie again, I've always loved him, and I love looking at Katherine Heigl, she's just the kind of woman I like, in terms of beauty, and sex appeal, she is hot, she is a 10, actually"

"If you've seen the movie, you'd know it's an animated movie about a squirrel"

"You have to admit the technology now is so good that some of these animated movies look like real life"

"Some of them do, but when a squirrel starts talking, you generally know it's an animated picture"

You imagine there ought to be a real life Gregg out there, absolutely ecstatic about the selection of dusty old extremely forgettable VHS movies in some bin at a thrift shop, next to a some CD cases of old computer software, AOL trials, Yanni, baseball games for PS2 etc.

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.

Just recently saw some Neil Hamburger footage for the first time since I started watching this show. I don't know how I'd forgotten the extreme disparity between the two sides of Turkington, but it was a stark reminder.

I love that they generally never review actual hits, tentpole pics, oscar winners etc. not even huge mainstream garbage (MCU, Star Wars, Pixar etc) its almost always b-list shit that instantly vanishes from the public consciousness.

aka popcorn classics!

idk why but every time tim mispronounces an actor's name i completely lose it, thankfully it happens in every single episode

I especially like a) when assumes that the first and last names were transposed and b) when he assumes that the name on the card must be a misprint because it's not written in the same way that it left his mouth.

If the mispronunciations are tickling your funny bone, watching Decker might actually kill you. Exercise caution!

Tim is great at it. I find it funny cause it reminds me of my dad tbh.

I think it's fair to say that Tim Heidecker is the unparalleled master of awkward, error-prone, completely unearned arrogance.

Well theres trump

Well, yeah.

I don't know how I'd forgotten the extreme disparity between the two sides of Turkington, but it was a stark reminder.

his On Cinema persona is actually kinda similar to the early "America's Funnyman" version of the character

Yeah, I need to listen to the prank calls again, it's been forever.

I had the nude model classified ad as my voicemail greeting for much longer than was probably advisable.

the one where he tells a really long and meandering version of his 7-11 joke just to see how long he can keep the guy on the phone was incredible. but I was referring more to the 91-92 version..."Raw Hamburger" and all that

amusingly I once spotted a sample from Great Phone Calls on a Cornelius album, one of his early ones before he broke through to the U.S. - I've always been really curious as to how that happened

I was just thinking earlier that Hijinks! is almost certainly a five-bagger.

I think it's fair to say that Tim Heidecker is the unparalleled master of awkward, error-prone, completely unearned arrogance.

Let's also not forget to acknowledge Heidecker's TV pre-Tim-cessor Tim Taylor, whose arrogant, error-prone home improvement schemes would fail spectacularly before a live studio audience once a week in the nineteen-nineties. Oh, Tim Taylor, when will you learn to quell your thirst for more power.

I think you mean Buffalo Daughter?

(the outro has the Chabela Burrito bit)

ok, the google tells me the same was sample by Cornelius on "Moon Walk"

nah - it's this song. sample appears right at the beginning. that's interesting though

wonder if Tim made it to Wells Fargo this morning

hopefully the replay is up tonight, I can't wait to watch Tim's movie again. this show is usually such a slow burn but that just had me dying from start to finish. it was so good I was starting to worry it was the series finale. in particular: Mark doing Joey Patron as WC Fields, Tim casting the adult film actor to play himself, and all the digs at Corwyn's musical ability, the whole thing felt like fanservice in the best way

only hit me afterwards how messed up the whole thing was, obviously it explains why Joe, Manuel, and Ax were so cagey with Toni as to what the movie was actually about, also the casting of Axiom in particular is deeply fucked up. Tim extending the gunfight scene to like a full minute and then making Toni watch it, holy shit

They were laughing at Toni interviewing G. Amato on the red carpet.

it seemed gregg got a genuine laugh out of tim when he did that “…from? ….herbie fully loaded!” bit

amazing final shot

manuel's corwyn wig was incredible

Manuel: The truth is man...I really suck at music. I can't sing, I can't play instrument, and I can't do anything musical

Axiom: Ah man, that sucks

yessss here it is

Just realized Tim’s look for this season was Jesse Watters

Bryan Johnson, surely?

I’m dunno, the eyebrows and pompadour are what made me make the connection to Watters.

bryan johnson was my guess too
