I don't know how to explain this to you but the "Stump the Buff" segment where Tim nails Gregg on the Star Trek/San Francisco trivia question is just as dramatic as the scene in Breaking Bad where Hank figures out who Heisenberg is

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

in the Discord it was a LOT
in the Office Hours Patreon Tim gives credit to the "crowd" who did a remarkable job of staying stonefaced the whole time, which apparently caused IRL Tim to wonder if any of the bits were landing. though I did see one audience member really struggle to keep it together when "Big Bird" came out

Scorsese’s secret life as an obsessive VHS archivist
It’s a shame the show’s season has ended—I can easily imagine Gregg boasting of how he’s in talks with Scorsese re: the VFA, similar to the storyline about him writing to Tim Burton.
― blatherskite, Tuesday, 2 April 2024 13:19 (one month ago) link
Rewatching currently, hit season 9 and the back-end of that season is a massive peak in this show. Particularly the run of ep 7. Gregg and Mark shit all over Tim killing 20 kids, ep 8. Joe comes in to tell his potato story while calling Tim who informs he’ll be out for the next episode and looks forward to watching last weeks episode and ep 9. “On the advice of my council, we are here to talk about the movies”
― H.P, Monday, 15 April 2024 03:07 (four weeks ago) link
that slow zoom in on their faces during that part where Mark & Gregg find out Tim is going to be back is hilarious but also one of those moments that weirdly bothers me, like it's the kind of humor that SNL does, which is kind of the polar opposite of how On Cinema is

Yeah, it’s a break in style, but I think it makes sense in-universe! The ‘production’ crew are Tim’s lackeys and have no respect for Gregg (There’s an earlier episode where Gregg says to cut the lights and they don’t, waiting for Tim’s direction).
― H.P, Monday, 15 April 2024 03:14 (four weeks ago) link
My stupid fan-theory: the “production” is some lovecraftian, beastly apparatus of Tim. The show will never stop, because Tim is the show. His cosmic weight instantly pulls in all passer-by’s to have their life’s destroyed through the mundanity of two, soulless men reading movie synopses and muttering “5 bags, and 2 bags of soda”. The production is the beast

Gregg finds so much joy in Tim murdering 20 kids that when he finally gets an episode to himself to host, he can’t even talk about the movies. Now that’s a 5 bagger move

see thats something I really love about it, the constant bickering and sniping between them would feel kinda forced if not for the fact that they really do each have dozens of reasons to hate each other. its a very palpable hatred that a lot of comedies use but don't really earn the way this show does
― frogbs, Monday, 15 April 2024 03:28 (four weeks ago) link
Otm. The hate is palpable, it’s the fuel to every episode.
Watching the Trial for the second time and it’s an amazing piece of satire on how Trump won the presidency. Maybe obvious to others, my Australian eyes didn’t see it the first time tho

Tim is genuinely great in how he is able to catch the vibe of a certain type of American guy without going in for obvious parody of specific people. Tim also seems to have a good sense of detecting right-wing trends early, like his character's turn to alternative medicine long before COVID (because of "Obamacare")*
*Like during the Obama administration I noticed the right-wingers in my Washington exurb start to get interested in what had previously been left-coded things like backyard chickens and acupuncture because Obamacare poisoned all our food and medicine.

xps tim & Gregg have a Walt-Jesse level toxic relationship at this point, so much ill feeling but they can’t extricate themselves from each other — & there are moments where they reveal they do sort of care for each other a bit, but always in an ultimately abusive way It’s very funny how they both seem not fully conscious of how much the hatred is driving how they think, like Tim basing his whole self-help cult around the idea that watching lots of films is dangerous or Gregg spinning his resentment of dekkar into a dislike of all music

still kinda suspicious that Joey happened to be in Mexico while it went on, not to mention Tim pointing the finger directly at Amato. maybe he just inferred what everyone watching did but I'd assume he knows *something*
gotta say the show is almost starting to remind of something like Breaking Bad, it's leaving all these little crumbs around pointing at a larger story but there's still so much left to be revealed. I wonder if G. Amato's interest in HEI points and Matt's own crypto scam are gonna be linked in any way
