Pappyland posted:Might’ve missed it, but why would he care about the Electric Sun trial being reopened? Tim cares because he killed 20 teenagers. G cares because he wants Tim's lithium land, he's senile, and his "kids" work on OCATC Also I think hei points are canonically worth money somehow and G. was laundering money with them.

That DICK! posted:my complaint is almost the opposite, it feels like they want to have longrunning plots with payoff but it doesn't seem like they have strong ideas about what to do and it all just takes so looong now. Tim had a baby one season, it died the next, and two seasons later he was on trial for murdering 20 EDM festival goers in a desert. ah well. love da show

my read on the situation is they just kept pushing OC to be as crazy and expansive as possible thinking it was just a silly side thing until they decided to just go for the Trial thing which sort of inexplicably got the show a lot of attention which I'm guessing convinced them to find ways to keep it going a while

They’ve been doing this the whole time — Tim gets interested in something only to immediately move on from it. It’s more like a cartoon where everything can just reset whenever the joke wears thin. That’s what’s brilliant about it. It’s more about watching a fake gutter display get cleaned and Big Bird showing up.

In hindsight it was a bit naive of me to think they’d give a clear answer to the identity of the murderer.

Tim is constantly reinventing himself and unable to stick to a personality. Gregg is ever the same, unable to deviate from his standard behavior

Sierra Madre posted:Honestly, the ending felt weaker than desired. It didn't feel like they let the consequences of Tim's confession breathe, it just got shoved into the credits sequence and everyone could only mill around for the last two minutes. that's kinda how this show works though, it still presents itself as a real thing and not a sitcom so a lot of the real poo poo happens between the lines and often gets revealed in the next season. like Joey taking Kaili to Mexico seems like a pretty huge plot point but you'd have to be pretty eagle-eyed to catch it

That's such a weird alibi building detail, but also a "we need a phone to show on stage" detail.

They’ve always had a tendency to just drop information very lightly without drawing too much attention to it. I mean people picked up on Toni going off the wagon tonight too, but it’s not like they made a huge deal of it. But it’s a subtle touch if you remember her character arch and realize what this means.

I love On Cinema's absurd soap opera. I think Season 14 was a little weak in terms of episodes but that's in comparison to 13 and 12, which were bonkers and which weren't on a smushed schedule due to the writers' strike. 14 didn't have anything as insane as Grain Water or RJ's Shakes (or a non-Oscar special), but that's okay since I thought the frenzied bizarre pay-off on Oscars night was great. I think I can appreciate this lower-key mystery plotline more in retrospect. I've been thinking a bit about this interview Tim did with the Believer in 2019: quote:TH: No, we didn’t anticipate that audience participation, but we recognized it kind of early and thought this was really cool, and we could feed that more. This world exists online, beyond us, on Twitter. I can’t remember when exactly that clicked for us, but it’s incredibly exciting and it inspired us to realize we could go all kinds of places with this show. That essentially we were writing a novel or something. We could talk about things happening without actually having to go shoot that scene. We could just refer to the fact that I was in Jackson Hole and got beat up by Nazis, and the audience invests in that as part of the narrative. The more complicated it gets, the more it doesn’t change, like a soap opera. quote:TH: We did always just make stuff for us, to make us laugh, to make our group of people laugh, without a lot of thought. But after you make stuff and you see what people respond to, you think about what you want to do again because it’s popular, and what you want to destroy because it’s popular. manglar fucked around with this message at 05:25 on Mar 11, 2024 |

I mean if indeed Joey is the killer it's certainly a burner phone so that makes sense my read on the situation is that the Amatos are indeed a criminal enterprise, they found Tim attractive because his show/ranch/side projects/HEI points thing made him an ideal guy to launder money through, something which they probably were trying to make clear to him without incriminating themselves but Tim is so dumb he doesn't get the message. in fact Tim probably doesn't even get they're gangsters so Amato's offer to "take care of it" is something he doesn't really understand. problem is Matt Newman was probably suspicious of Tim all along and was waiting for something like this to happen which is why the encounter (which was maybe just meant to scare Toni?) went south so quickly. also maybe explains why the other side of the family didn't want him there (plus, his Discord pal alludes to it). as for the Amatos I think G. is probably going senile and Joey is the guy really running things. what exactly happened with Amato's son is kind of looming over this whole thing too, though I suppose it's not really his son

curious what Kaili's role is in all this, whether her marriage to G. Amato's other "son" was real or if she was involved with Joey the whole time. I think it may be possible she's innocent and that part of the deal with Tim is that she gets to do these "Hollywood Minute" segments, in fact maybe that's part of the reason they get involved with Tim in the first place, as a way of making things 'right' after having her husband killed.

also was G. Amato at the end there the first time someone explicitly called out the shoddiness of the production? (outside of Tim and Gregg needling each other)

Loved the special this year and thought it had some incredible jokes spread throughout the whole thing. I actually like that this year and last season have been a bit more subdued because I think it's beneficial to have some breaks between the bigger crazier stuff. Like they could have gone bigger with the impact of Tim's bizarre sleep schedule and sunlight routine but I'm glad they didn't because it would have just felt like a retread of the grain water stuff. This year felt like it leaned a lot more on jokes that revolved around smaller character moments without having to have any big set pieces and I thought it worked well. Also, huge respect to Joe for that shout out to Robert Z'Dar. That was a genuinely nice moment and it seemed like it was unscripted.

I really liked the murder mystery part, I was looking at that video for any kind of hint. In the end, it was discovered that it was filmed in the same drive way as "Ride with the Devil" based on the exterior trees being exactly the same which is pretty funny, but I'm sure unintentional.
