On Cinema at the Cinema on ilxor.com

not sure if this was intentional or not but Tim trying to record getting "assaulted" by Rosetti feels like it might be a direct reference to Baked Alaska

On a related note, I'm going to see Gregg do a one off show tonight with Zip Code Redemption (glad to see their edge lordy name left in the past). Although I've seen him
live as Neil a bunch before, I've never even listened to his music before so it should be interesting.

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.

oh wow I have never read that all spelled out so succinctly, having only encountered the ZCR and Caroliner stuff tangentially

all of this makes it much funnier to me that gregg's on cinema character has no interest in or use for music whatsoever except as a score to a great movie

looks like a five bagger.

Possibly even a Popcorn Classic!

Now that I think of it, these drama/fights/feuds are a common recurrence in Gregg's oeuvre. This is super obscure but even Faxed Head had a nemesis band called Bon Larvis... that was absolutely terrible, I think they were a Pablo Cruise cover band... maybe Milton remembers them?

Oh hell yeah there’s a screening in Milwaukee

extended gregg musical universe is a joy to dip into, my favourite subproject is probably The Golding Institute

albeit that isn't really music (although it is on Spotify)

I thought that there were at least a couple threads devoted to things like the Golding Institute but this one seems like it is missing a bunch of things:

I guess I should have figured this one as well:

neil hamburger c/d

“baby driver—fun cartoon about babies driving cars, we loved that movie. uh, happy death day, based on happy days. the florida project, guardians of the galaxy 2—better than the first one. battle of the sexes—porno”

“thor: rag... ragnar...ragnarok... the thor movie”

“yeah ragnerak. ragnerak”

“it’s like rags to riches but it’s rags na rok”

I love Tim sticking the campaign sign 10 feet away from the "For Sale" sign

i kinda took a break after the trial but i started the 5th oscars special tonight and holy shit not only at the dkr "oscar fever" but also at the jaws 2 40th anniversary video

“Lordy Lordy, Look Who’s 40”

"mr. lucas went in almost like a cat burglar would"

i think billy graham is in hell

Still absolutely blown away that this show uncovered this absolute gem of trivia re Joe performing the Willard V.O.:

erm

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

don't underestimate the 6th oscar special

before On Cinema got started as a no-budget collab, Neil Hamburger made this thankfully failed game show pilot with Tim & Eric

"i think tyler perry's—it's strange, you wouldn't have seen this coming, but i think he's becoming the woody allen of our generation"

chaddaquaddick

sixth oscar special has the greatest set piece in comedy history

"burt reynolds looks like hitler"

imo the best part of season X is getting to take a look around gregg's apartment

Wow, I can't even recall anything about that, now I feel oddly compelled to watch it again.

also sic, thanks for posting that The New Big Ball segment. I had no idea these guys were in such cahoots for such a long time.

xp It’s the last episode where they have the VR equipment; there’s a segment that Gregg does at the VFA, and you get to move the camera around. It contains the best gag of the season.

lol the streaming versions of those episodes are just static shots of ppl in VR gear

sry shakey :(

yeah i think the original VR broadcast had some limited pan capability but nothing like what i'm seeing on youtube rn. it'll be good to rescreen these eps at any rate.

heads up anyone in ny

http://www.movingimage.us/visit/calendar/2019/11/09/detail/the-trial

it would be great to see him back up on the big screen. it's been a while, and he's been missed

i am so going to that

damn the thains of the shire are pretty sick

"gregg, i need you to come over here right now, and i just want to let you know, i do not hold you accountable for this. i believe that you were just trying to do what you thought was right, which was wrong"

October 2nd, save the date! The people at Adult Swim have lost their minds and are allowing me to make a 1-hour live special to promote Mister America. We'll be talking On Cinema/Mister America, debuting some new videos, showing tons of fan content, taking Skype calls, etc! The hilarious Phil Braun (@playazball on Twitter) will be joining me in studio as my co-host.

I've already contacted several of you about showing some of your great content during the stream and I will definitely be looking for more in the days to come.

No Gregg?!

was talking w my wife about this last night and we agreed the only logical endpoint for On Cinema universe is for Gregg and Tim to murder each other

Or, alternately, to remain hopelessly intertwined for the rest of their natural lives. Which is, arguably, just a more protracted version of the scenario you posit.

lol yes

oscar fever with the thains of shire is the best version

it's christmas for tinseltown I DON'T NEED FUCKIN' FLUTE IN THE SONG

lol at tim trying to name two films that were nominated this year: "rome" and "green bay playbook"

green bay playbook made me lose it

ok yeah i take it back, the peak of this show is tim eating a raw cup o noodles

jaw
