God drat, you picked a good time to start this thread. The latest ep may be the best On Cinema there’s ever been.

Re: Tim’s response to reviews of Mr America, Tim’s character is very close to the real Tim Heidecker. I think the real distinction is that Tim has decent morals and the character Tim has bad morals. They share the same personality, otherwise. This is what makes his podcast unlistenable to me.

Last night, I went to a screening of the entire Trial at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens. It was probably one of the best theatergoing experiences I have ever had just because everyone "got" it and Tim and Gregg did a post-screening Q&A afterward where they talked about prepping their respective characters.

At almost 5 hours, it moves surprisingly swift and is packed with pretty good jokes. This whole series really is just a great satire of our dumb times. Between Gregg's inability to think critically about media to Tim's quasi-Trump persona, its perfect. The fact that it's spawned this and a motion picture is just incredible, honestly.

Really wish I could’ve gone to that.

Tim’s performance during the HEI financial evaluation is gutting to me. Tim obviously deserves it, but his mannerisms are very similar to mine when reacting to truly dire circumstances.

Yeah, the Decker character is insane but it’s honestly pretty accurate to late career Seagal.

Yeah, Tim is a character who lives in a state of perennial fascination with the kind of guy he thinks he wants to be.

I don’t believe in supporting the streaming content/patreon model. I only buy quality products I can hold in my hand, like Dekkar Peppar https://shop.merchcentral.com/products/on-cinema-dekkar-peppar

cliff notes version of what happened last night? can't justify a ticket at the moment and im dying to know

Mister Movies accidentally did all his movie research on the 2020 Oscar nominees, not 2021, so Tim brought Gregg on the show to pinch hit. Then, Tim tried to convince Gregg to gamble for control of the VFA. Gregg decided to leave the show and Tim tried to have Larue detain him, leading to Gregg running over Larue with the Mobile VFA.

In writing that out I realize now how similar OCATC and professional wrestling are.

Entertainment’s a real trip. Maybe it’ll be a different experience to watch now that I’ve seen Gregg perform as anyone other than Neil Hamburger.
