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"

"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
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 10 July 2019 16:57 (five years ago) link
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.
― Logy Psycho (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 10 July 2019 17:03 (five years ago) link
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.

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

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
― frogbs, Wednesday, 10 July 2019 19:35 (five years ago) link
I was just thinking earlier that Hijinks! is almost certainly a five-bagger.
― Logy Psycho (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 10 July 2019 19:36 (five years ago) link
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.

they do do plenty of hits and tentpoles, bcz they have to choose flicks whose release dates aren't going to move by the time the episode comes out months later - they just never say anything memorable about them bcz the movies don't exist when they tape

they reviewed guardians of the galaxy

and one of the fast and the furious movies - which is in the top 10 highest grossing movies of all time

a quick scan at the first two series includes Skyfall, Lincoln, Twilight, the Hobbit, Les Mis, Monsters Inc, Jack Reacher, Die Hard #x, Jurassic Park

Skyfall, Lincoln, Twilight, the Hobbit, Les Mis, Monsters Inc, Jack Reacher, Die Hard #x, Jurassic Park
yeah idk this is all forgettable garbage to me lol (granted, some more than others). Maybe in the decade plus since this movie started I just expect review shows to cover nothing but multibillion dollar franchises
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 10 July 2019 20:37 (five years ago) link
it just feels to me like more often than not they're reviewing something that was completely forgotten within a few years (and there are a shitload of these movies)

I love that Gregg's expertise seems to stem from watching the Prevue Channel obsessively in the late '90s
― Vape Store (crüt), Thursday, 11 July 2019 00:22 (five years ago) link
also love when Gregg gets his facts wrong in a super on-the-nose way, like saying "Rosebud" is the last line of Citizen Kane
― Vape Store (crüt), Thursday, 11 July 2019 00:25 (five years ago) link
There's a part of an On Location when Gregg goes to SF to prove to Tim he's at the exact intersection where a scene in Star Trek 2 was filmed, but he is exactly one block off. That level of commitment is pretty lol.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 11 July 2019 00:43 (five years ago) link
Oh shit Gregg just broke HARD in the 4th Oscar special. TBF, though, Kuffs really is a funny movie.

I plowed through the whole series about 1.5 months ago and all this discussion/quotes being thrown out here really has me wanting to rewatch it again.
