did anyone else think that cake was supposed to fall? Tim was holding it at a pretty crazy angle.

I missed everything from before Gregg came in (stream was down and I had to put kids to bet), definitely gonna have to rewatch it because everything I saw was hilarious. I nearly died at Axiom & Manuel's Al Pacino impressions & the recreation of last year's special with the rat where Tim nearly kills everyone again. lotta fanservice-y jokes but man if any series earned it it's this one - it's crazy how funny I thought this was even though there might not be a single joke that would land if you didn't watch everything prior to this. they definitely don't seem to care much about bringing people up to speed, my wife kept walking in and saying "this makes no sense, what is going on here" and I'm like "uhh it would take me an hour to explain it"

haha yeah I think I found out about that through SA as well and didn't even realize until recently it was the same guy. I still think the parts where he demos his "yo-yo tricks" on live TV in front of a baffled local news anchor is one of the funniest things a human being has ever done

I can't tell if she's a stone cold sociopath who enjoys needling her giant rage baby husband, or if she's a nice lonely person who is trying to keep a cheery face and remain in denial about what a terrible man she married.
It works either way.

i think the implication is she's dealt with a lot of abuse in her life and is just handling it with alcohol

toni needs the wine to take the edge off when tim really goes beserk, but she does genuinely like him. she thinks he's a smart business man, because he's a grifter and she's a rube. they also have overlap in their political beliefs, and she seems to be attracted to him for his eagerness to stand up against authority. it makes a lot of sense and she feels like one of the most realistic characters in the show

makes sense, don't forget that Toni was revealed to be part of a pyramid scene this special

Seeing Neil Hamburger live was legit the best thing I've ever seen.

The last joke he did was something like "Why did youuuur local fire department not want to put a fire out" "because it was the arcade fire" and I think about it all the time.

tbh I liked his sad sack anti-comedy shtick better than the abrasive Tony Clifton-esque persona he'd later become but I saw him in Milwaukee and it was so goddamn funny. like not even funny in an ironic or postmodern way, the jokes he was telling were amazing

How many shares of HEI are there? It would be hilarious if 5000 shares is controlling interest.

if there's one thing I've gleaned from the Oscar Special and subsequent developments it's that they wanted to make things as wide open as possible

also I never noticed this until the special but it's crazy how diverse the cast is on this show - nearly every character feels like they're from a different series.

Rock House was amazing, some real Kroll Show vibes there...it was almost too on-the-nose. Ax & Manuel are incredible, such cool guy energy radiating off them

have been rewatching the entire series recently, Lucky Season 7 has got to be the pinnacle of this show right? The Antman/Fantastic 4 episode, "Empty Bottle" for the first time, Decker vs. Dracula, the "Dr. San Forgiveness Special", the introduction of Axiom, the final episode with Tom Cruise Jr....plus possibly the best intro sequences of the whole series. some of the best poo poo ever made really

also wanna shout out how great Seasons 4-6 of Decker are, the "high budget" ones financed by TC Jr.'s death. every single episode is just crammed with jokes and insanely stupid continuity errors. hard to pick a favorite but the one where they show Decker's Oscar winning movie with Manuel playing Kington is especially good. I actually watched all these before I knew about On Cinema, they're twice as funny when you know about the show obviously

My guess is that he slept with Toni and Tim and Axiom were blacked out / misremembered

Spoiler because I'm definitely correct.

yea Manuel's half-hearted defense of Axiom in Ep 2 makes me think that there's more to the story here

kinda doubt they're going in that direction with Wendy Kirby (she's 18!) but I can confidently say something bad is gonna happen to her

oh Tim's definitely gonna be creepy and possessive towards Wendy but I think it's more because he thinks she's gonna be a bona fide star? idk when Tim hits on someone he's not very subtle about it. also they kind of already did that plot with Ayaka right?

the part that confuses me is that apparently "Rock House" is a real place where they live? and not just a show within the show? idk whatever they're doing I'm glad Manuel is getting so much screentime, idk why but his character always cracks me up. maybe because it's not really a character

Can someone briefly explain the Pop Secret thing? Is this real? I dropped one of the thousand threads this show is weaving right now

He won a mail-in contest, I think

pretty insane number of story arcs happening right now. from my count it's

Toni in the hospital
Axiom having sex with Toni (allegedly) and converting to Scientology (??)
Gregg winning the Pop Secret contest and making his own Lord of the Rings movie with Joe
Tim's HEI ranch
the HEI points "valuation" and whatever is gonna happen with that
LaRue getting run over by Gregg and also being in the hospital (??)
Tim drinking nothing but those RJ Vaxxblocker shakes and inevitably ending up in the hospital himself
Tim/HEI's mounting debt from buying out the Delgados
Tim & Toni's annulment and second marriage without a prenup
D4 with Wendy Kirby and the inevitable Empty Bottle 4.0
All the pilots mentioned by Tim in the last episode alongside rock house
Will Gregg get to review Bond?

Yeah, from what I remember he only referenced the son and the previous marriage once, and even then it didn't quite fit in. But also makes total sense that Tim is the kind of guy who would hide that kind of stuff, and then come to actually will himself to forget.

tbh it seems like this was one of those early-season weirdness things that they kinda jettisoned because they didn't anticipate Tim getting married twice being the sort of storyline their little movie podcast parody show could do. it was actually pretty weird to see it referenced during one of the recent Oscar specials but who knows maybe they're planning to weave that storyline in as well

Joe Estevez in the Roswell reenactment is especially funny because Martin Sheen was in the 1990s Roswell TV movie. Although not as Mac Brazel (Dwight Yoakam played him there) but as the government coverup guy.

The Roswell TV movie is also funny because I'm pretty sure Stargate SG-1 reused the alien props/puppets from it as the Asgard.

loved that he did the reenactment while also being depicted as "the Deep State" as President Davison

second half of this ep was hands down some of the best acting ever on this show. I mean I did notice that Toni was drinking almost every single time she was on screen but drat I didn't think it was gonna blow up quite like this

This is one of those things that in retrospect was evident since Mr. America, when she was ordering wine with breakfast in the diner. Made me wonder if they planned it from back then or if they've just been developing it over time.

I also wonder if the Dr. San stuff is part of what they originally had planned for the "Seven Minutes in Heaven" concept with Pastor Lewis.

the Oscar Special where they get married/nearly get murdered kinda drives this home, she's incredibly pissed at first about the situation but liquors up in the dressing room and suddenly she's okay

dunno what was originally planned for the Pastor but unfortunately that storyline had to get axed due to Covid reasons. its heavily implied that she and Tim had some kind of relationship while Toni was passed out right?
