On Cinema at the Cinema on ilxor.com

A lot of great stuff. Mark calling in as Alfred Hitchcock was my favorite moment. However, I now agree with Gregg and don’t want to see Dekkar ever again.

lol i completely missed the blondie segment during the livestream

"Desert Sun Tequilla" - both misspelled (on the bottle and the banner) and more or less named after Tim's music festival that killed numerous people.

All members of Dekkar remain seated for the duration of their performance.

The big QR code on Gregg's cardboard box leads one to VFA.expert.

"First Movie of the Year".

Tim's head floating in the darkness, with his eyeliner and flashlight, after the power went off reminded me of Arthur Frayn/Zardoz

Tim’s emotional reaction to the dog

Contemplating if Gregg (in character and as himself) found that rattletrap van in a junkyard

Tim’s emotional reaction to the dog

hah yeah while the Scooby Doo was wandering around

Power of the Dog didn't actually have a dog in it btw

there was a dog in the film but it was not that dog and “the power of the dog” means something far less literal in the context of the film and tim getting it so wrong was on the order of gregg insisting that the wonka prequel is directed by tim burton (it’s not)

the one line that lives in my head forever is "last year it was 'Oscars So White', this year it's 'Oscars so A through M'"

Beating a Wendy Kerby effigy

this dekkar performance - i knew they had it in them, but the way they're doing it. i'm proud

good decision for them all to stay seated

Fill me up again
Fill me up again

*tambourine 16th note syncopation*

[Verse 1]
I'm like an empty bottle
Drained of everything left in my mind
Checking out life on the dark side
Riding down the road 'til the end of time

[Verse 2]
I'm like a broken lantern
Stuffed of everything good and light
Hanging 'round waiting for something
To pick me up or hang me dry

[Chorus]
Fill me up again
Fill me up again

[Solo]

[Chorus]

[Solo 2]

holy shit, is it joe estevez?!!!?

that ending was powerful

it felt like michael mann but way more intense

lol there's a new post on the hei news site

The tour that Tim gave in his little cart was so comically short... Like it would have been about as quick to walk.

Hahaha

Tim’s increasing sunburn throughout the special

that whole setup, with watching private therapy sessions on a big monitor with everyone on set watching together, expecting it to exonerate him, while also not even listening to what she was saying...incredible

this show is the master of characters whose very presence is hilarious. Manuel looking concerned, Joe looking bored, LaRue trying to look serious and tough. the mascots in the background. Gregg in everything he does. the Chaplin's Chili guy (Hank?) being on every special despite never really being given anything to do

i'll prove to anybody here tonight what i can do sexually. be happy to do it. anybody here. that's a challenge right now. ...fuck that scooby-doo... anybody

The way that Chaplin’s Chili is progressively diminished as a franchise in each special is one of my favorite small recurring gags. Also adds to the “trapped in hell" atmosphere—despite Tim commenting each year on how gross the chili is, they are always back the next year.

listening to Office Hours today it looks like Mark has Covid and Joe got sick (not Covid), which is why neither appeared. must've been some pretty fast n' furious rewriting taking place

that happened last year too, I think Pastor Lewis was supposed to factor into the plot but the actress was unvaxxed and wouldn't take a Covid test or something

dang, i guess its lucky the whole special didnt get delayed or something

yeah Tim was worried he might've gotten it from Mark. apparently Mark is asymptomatic, he didn't say what Joe has but did say "he'll be fine" so that's good

also apparently there was a huge downpour 12 hours after filming. I wonder what their contingency plan was, or if it was just "fuck it, it's SoCal"?

i almost subscribed to the patreon but i noticed it renews at midnight on april 1 - gotta wait a few hours!

Holy shit what

If you don't know this guy, Dr. San, he's the most wanted man in America. He's fooled me, and he fooled our audience. He's wanted by us. My wife, my soon-to-be-wife, is been working, as a secret agent, almost.

Elon, here is all the evidence you need of Tim's exceptional ability. You must hire him to defend you against the false allegations that you offered a flight attendant a pony to give you a happy ending on your rocketship. pic.twitter.com/0rv2huqPTo

OCATC-adjacent:

NPR's Scott Simon talks to Tim Heidecker about his music, his new sentimental album "High School," and about his sometimes crass comedy.

Funny and talented @timheidecker on his new album HIGH SCHOOL: "I think I was lucky to grow up in a happy household but certainly had friends that had lots of dysfunction at home...And some of them made it and are doing great. And some of them didn't."https://t.co/8TuqjsXijV
