I haven't went back to the archive of the special, what was the payoff of the HEI Points Whirlwind Machine, because that was when it was cut-off for everybody. I was originally thinking the machine wouldn't have wind, or the guy gets stuck inside for a quick suffocating gag, but it seemed like the joke was Tim just didn't want anybody to win?

The guy shoved the HEI Point vouchers into his pockets and Tim made a big deal about it making him reset the challenge. After he still won a lot Tim said that all the points may not be redeemable.

It's so in-character for there always to be a problem handling streaming traffic every single year.

Pep Boys / Babboon is really a film I would quite enjoy. I love like a 1950s comedy farce about some knuckleheads going on misadventures and running into a monster or something. Like Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein

The movie sneak peak made it really apparent how far sound effects turn casual assault into a funny gag. Tim beating Mark with the hammer was really funny, but for different reasons. On another note, I really appreciate how Gregg makes a gag out of these long forgotten Golden Age of Hollywood series like Ma and Pa Kettle. I think it’s gotta be rooted in a sincere love for them. I often think about how the popular things we love today will eventually become lost and forgotten, but it’s a little comforting knowing that there’s a chance that some weirdo will be obsessed with them in 80 years.

I do wonder how much of Gregg's weird movie trivia - for example the On Location segments - is actually true. I am guessing a lot of it is just made up but is it *all* or just some?

I think the funniest parts are still : Gregg's proposal and immediate rejection, the Scotch tasting, the "AI" drawing of Matt's shooter, the DeNiro tribute montage (thanks Vic Burger), Tim going completely silent with the VR headset on and then loudly proclaiming "if you guys are talking to me i won't be able to hear you," the Dumbledore predictions, G Amato getting pissed at Big Bird and "the knockout" goddamn that's some good TV

I love how random tiny things like Big Bird will be planted a year in advance for beautiful payoffs.

The best part of this season was definitely the expanded cast. Joey P could have been a caricature, but the actor was phenomenal and kept it grounded, especially during the Amatocon live performance. And G Amato comes across as such doddering, senile old man that I am genuinely concerned for the health of the actor lol

G Amato excitedly haggling for the movie memorabilia was another highlight

Gregg has said in a couple interviews that his character is based of himself as a teen. He was really obsessed with old movies and loved all the dumbest bits of trivia about them, so he channeled that into the character. Every time I've looked into something he's said, it's true, so apart from "hey this is probably the cemetery where person x is buried" I believe it. It's just like the Oscar Trivia, you don't have to lie that Mark Wahlberg is a racist piece of poo poo, or that WC Fields was really hard up sometimes.

I believed all On Cinema On Location were real. I can't believe I believed it. Until Sunday night when he thought Harry Potter was filmed at Universal Studios. Then I realized it was all a lie.

Tim made a big behind the scenes post on the Office Hours later on. Mark not being available because he is filming for What we do in the Shadows makes the bus thing even funnier as a way to explain his absence.

When they do the wrap up special where they answer fan questions, are people cool? Or are the fans all trying to be funny? I like in character posts most of the time except people who just painfully don't get it and think they are funny but aren't. But for live events I always find the stream of in universe commentary really obnoxious and unfunny, just people trying to be loud. So I am hoping on the wrap up special which is clearly out of universe, the chat and fans behave normally.

It was nice to see them shift gears and have Joey P be the Miami businessman realtor type. He still throws in all the woke agenda stuff every now and then but he seems more corporate than anything. Like the in universe G Amato is trying to make On Cinema a legitimate TV show.

He could be a stereotypical mobster who did the hit on Matt Newman, or he could just be a guy who likes to play rec softball, vacation in Cabo with his friends, and thinks Godfather II is the best movie of all time.

The "AI" reveal was one of the top-tier On Cinema moments since, at the very least the switch to the HEI Network. Just an amazing visual done in the perfect moment.

Maybe I missed something during the season but where did "Joey Patron" come from? Joey was really annoyed at being called that, the impression I got was that it was an old nickname he maybe picked up from drunken antics and hates being reminded of it.

For the same reason that Troy Barnes' nickname when playing football was T-bone. The nickname comes with the name because it just makes sense.
