"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"

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

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

poor mark

speaking of Mark I can't believe I hadn't seen this yet, god this show is the best

i really think mark is a genius

the three stooges impersonations, the audition videos where he just reads the script verbatim including the locations and motivations, the two extremely traumatic near-death sequences in both the fifth and sixth oscar specials

WC3P0 is his crowning achievement imo

Mentioned in the T&E thread, but for those who didn't make the connection (as it took me way too long to do, myself), Mark was the pie-sitter on Better Call Saul.

WHAT

it's certainly become clear just how much the office underused him

not to mention he was K-Strass the Yo-Yo guy, which I still think is one of the funniest things to ever happen to local morning news

K-Strass is one of my favorite things ever, complete genius. He had a big part in the What We Do In The Shadows TV series and was pretty funny

K-Strass & his On Cinema persona are basically the same character

just gotta get out! just gotta get right mama mia!!!!

tim: "wind beneath your wings. bette midler. beaches. barbara hershey."

gregg: "thank you! finally!"

lol now that i've finished this i don't know what to do with myself

maybe force someone to rewatch the whole thing with me

it's only three weeks to wait for the movie

haha I've tried to make a few converts, not sure I've been at all successful. it's something of a hard sell when you tell people they have to start at the beginning and it's super-slow at first.

xp

yeah i showed my gf, and before that my ex, the first few eps. both heidecker fans, not stoked on on cinema

when you tell people they have to start at the beginning

stop telling them this! they can jump in later when the mythology and interlacing feuds have started to build up, and pick things up from context, and/or go back & fill in once they've got a feel for it.

idk I initially started at season 10 and was like "wtf is this" I had to go back to the beginning

I was super late to the game despite being a fan of both dudes. It seemed like too much of an investment back when I didn't know the magic I was denying myself.

My brother is also a big T+E head but I haven't sold him on On Cinema yet.
