On Cinema at the Cinema on ilxor.com

I thank u, sic, although I spent a long while watching a different, much less complete YT playlist (after starting on the even less complete playlist on that one website) so I just wanted to make sure no one else made my stupid mistake. I give this latest playlist five bags of popcorn and a hundred cups of soda.

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

eh I think starting in the beginning obscures what a slow build this show is

er starting in the MIDDLE

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

"Tastes like a mouthful of dirt."

Todd Rundgren appears in the last episode of Decker...I knew that voice was familiar!!

"Why was he fired, did he forget to wipe down the microwave?"

if someone "completely doesn't get" the show at the beginning, pushing on through twenty episodes of more of the same is probably going to bore and annoy them

oh yeah, the full real-time Trial Of Tim Heidecker coverage isn't on youtube either, just 10-15 minutes highlights from each day (iirc that's all I watched, then switched over for the full verdict)

all 5 hours right here

oops. I meant right here

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

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.

what are the odds Alex Jones watches the entire Trial of Tim Heidecker in the week and believes it to be 100% real?

doesn't matter if he believes it, he's trying to create a narrative, so either way that's how he'll portray it

this is extraordinarily funny

The Onion newspaper has been rocked by the discovery

how could they have known what they were getting into with Tim

zero effort on Jones' part so far. just describing Tim's actual characters and repertoire

incredible that Info Wars is now part of the On Cinema extended universe

this made the rounds in alt-right circles a few years ago as "evidence" of tim being pro child abuse - i assume that's where the "pro pedo/child kidnapping" bit comes from

doesn't matter if he believes it, he's trying to create a narrative, so either way that's how he'll portray it

otm, as with all the other shit he's peddled it's not about him believing any of it himself, but about getting his audience to believe

wait what if this indeed an On Cinema bit

xp oh wait it was probably this one

feel like I'm gonna have a stroke watching these

I think there possibly was a racist, Bircher-influenced Alex Jones that existed and did an exaggerated kayfabe-style act for his show years ago, but I don't think he's anything but the one thing now. All of the attention and god knows what supplements and chronic alcoholism means his brain is just like that 24/7 now. So there's no "game recognize game" here, his brain is as red, nude, and mad as the rest of him

Tim can turn it all off and be a normal guy or a completely different guy at any moment and I would like to think somewhere in Jones' brain there's two neurons firing back and forth that are even angrier about that fact

similar to how Andrew Dice Clay and Larry the Cable Guy started as characters that they played for so long that they eventually just became those guys

I mean, I feel like for most Trump voters it started as kayfabe that became real the more and more they got dragged into the right wing ecosphere, its probably the same for the folks making this shit. the stuff that came out during that divorce/custody battle def seems to imply that its not just a character anymore

xp the Diceman kinda redeemed himself by being in actual films, I have no idea what Larry is up to and don't really care

I should check and see if he survived the pandemic

Whitney currently works as a radio personality for Sirius XM's Jeff & Larry's Comedy Roundup channel

Larry the Cable Guy being a Nebraska guy gets me every time, but he may have been the harbinger of the many rural midwesterners who didn't have any specific cultural signposts and just started pretending to be southerners. I guess in a different way, that's a bunch of midwestern guys in music, all the way from Ted Nugent to Kid Rock

i assume that's where the "pro pedo/child kidnapping" bit comes from

jones did a whole infowars episode yelling over this and a few other sketches the other day

On Cinema references everywhere you look online today

I'm pretty sure Alex Jones knows how stupid this all sounds, it doesn't matter why you click and discuss, it just matters that you do so at all

there's no "game recognize game" here, his brain is as red, nude, and mad as the rest of him

his broadcaster / character-writer’s instinct is probably still vestigially operating, to seize on skits or say the killer of the Electric Sun 20 is a real mugshot, instead of just yelling his real grievances. but yeah there’s probably not a person-Jones behind the kayfabe who knows the gag is for rubes.
