This isn’t the Our Cinema Oscar special that he was talking about. Our Cinema is the one with a Gregg, Mark and a white board while Tim is on tour in Dubai. Tim does call in though. You’re talking about The New On Cinema Oscar Special.

I wish they'd split the channel 5 marathon stream into T&E and On Cinema Streams.

It's a good stream, but it's a pretty different mood to want to watch On Cinema vs T&E stuff if the wrong stuff is playing or they switch lanes it can be rather jarring, but when a block lines up it's great.

Gregg is an amazing character. His fascination and fixation is either autism or betraying some extreme trauma that makes him cling to VHS movies. Likely both.

Greg is really believable as that guy that just sits at home and watches movies all day and has nothing else to talk about because of that. He dives deeper and deeper into movies and fell in love with the warm fuzzy uncertainty, the mystery is gone in the crystal clarity of Betamax, he was successful in ridding the world of it be careful of Gregg he's been trying to do the same with digital there's just a lot more computers out there.

A Star is Born is in the public domain. The cops were wrong.

Gregg's total misunderstanding of how public domain works is amazing.

What I want to know is why Tim ('s character) decided to do a movie review show when he clearly does not care about movies. He's always using the show to promote his real passions which are his current vanity projects or scams.

He was interested in the idea of doing a movie show (probably for its youtube-celebrity status potential), for about as long as any of his fleeting interests lasts.

Perfect way to put it.

I think we all know someone like him. Mine was a bartender turned bar manager (by way of a rich uncle buying him a bar) turned concert promoter turned DJ turned motivational speaker turned used car salesman turned insurance salesman.

Each iteration is him listed as CEO of whatever venture he’s working on. Lots of “rise and grind” and “Monday motivation” posts and then just him going to concerts all week to “network”.

No joke the dude I’m talking about even tanked an existing festival that his company took over. It fails because he didn’t get permits and he owes money to EVERYONE now because he didn’t have festival insurance. Even before it failed the days leading up to the event were frantic Facebook posts of “who has a trailer I can borrow?” or “anybody have any generators i can use?”

Typing this out I remember it all happened right after Fyre and while I was watching the trial of Tim Heidecker.

Suddenly he’s broke and burned all of his bridges and the world’s out to get him and it’s a huge conspiracy against him how everything he touches keeps turning to ash.

An unsung corollary to the Dunning-Kruger effect is that when one such venture fails (due to the DKE), someone else will invariably think "Well he only failed because he's an idiot! I on the other hand, am smart and will do it better!"

OC Tim is definitely the kind of guy that is trying to find his ticket to success/money/authority by any means, but all he can do is chase waves that have already broken. He's the aimless middle aged guy who decides to make a movie review podcast without having expertise or even an interest. He's your burnout cousin that quietly gives up on becoming a realtor months after showing you pictures of the boat he's going to buy on his smashed up iphone. He's the president of the united states

If you go back to the original podcast, it originally was solely about movies. Both characters are relatively straight. Then there's an episode where out of nowhere, the Tim we know and love emerges, I think from some panic over Obama selling uranium to Putin or the like. So I think it makes sense that OC Tim began as a guy who was just into movies and then got redpilled, and that was the start of his entire life falling apart over the course of On Cinema.

At the very beginning it felt very Tom Goes to the Mayor -esque, in that Tim was the long-suffering straight man and Gregg was this obsessive weirdo who didn't actually know anything much to Tim's frustration.

I started from the beginning long after the "real" On Cinema had gotten into its full stride and people were like :stare: at the impression I had after like the first 5 episodes

Either tim or gregg said in an OOC interview that the podcast started as a parody of podcasts in general and how the market was flooded with people who just had absolutely nothing to say. It's rooted in that core T&E theme of LA just being a sad desperate place
