Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkingtons On Cinema podcast

[Petey Pate]

Long before he wowed audiences as Santa Claus, which movie actor was arrested at an airport for possession of cocaine in 1978?

I love the Oscars Specials so much. I think I may need to have a re-watch of the entire run very soon.

In regards to the OH BOBBY moment, do you reckon there was a padded mat on the floor which was then removed very quickly? I would have thought that regardless of the comic intention that could really cause some actual physical harm.

I think Mark's just a pro

How far away are we from Zero Hour?

I came here to ask exactly this! Even with a mat that would have been a pretty dangerous stunt, either they gave this a lot of thought or just didn't care.

Just finished this and loved every minute. I want to share it with everyone I know who is in to comedy but there is so much back story, people with actual lives and families might be confused if they didn't watch everything leading up to it.

I only watched it once, but I assumed all those bits with Mark were pre-recorded.

9am.

[TIAL]

I assumed all those bits with Mark were pre-recorded.

I think they could well have been pre-recorded because any form of corpsing would have been so noticeable. But it was still very much Mark in that position (unless it was a very good mask?). I'd love to know how you do a face-first fall to the floor and make it 100% safe.

With the right padding it'd be no worse than falling onto a mattress, I guess.  Bit frightening mind you.

I honestly think Mark's just a stone-cold maniac tbh!

[Pearly-Dewdrops Drops]

He only falls out of the frame, it's possible they just caught him out of frame in addition to there being padding. I assumed it was pre-recorded too because it cut back to him with blood makeup very quickly.

(Love that we are dissecting the stuntwork for On Cinema)

[The Boston Crab]

Do we think it's a reference to the late great Bobby Davro perhaps?

[Ballad of Ballard Berkley]

As referenced several times in this thread!

[QDRPHNC]

I donated to the Oscar Special fundraising thing last month and thought no more about it, until arriving home yesterday evening to find a package all the way from sunny California in the mailbox.



I assume if I had said that I was a Timhead, I'd have got some DKR branded stuff, but the VFA logo is way, way cooler. The highlight of the GreggHead certificate:

I pledge to never switch my area of interest from movies, to music, or alternative medicine.

so many things i could mention about this amazing oscar special but just want to say that gregg's non-reaction to the oh bobby bit was downright disturbing

God, I fell out of watching this around the time of Tom Cruise dying (R.I.P.) and forgot how good it could be. Think I'll watch it from the beginning again.

Only had chance to watch an hour or so of this - I really enjoyed the chat between Raphael and Greg, especially Raphael's barely concealed frustration at Greg's current oscar obsession 'A star is born'. Things get really intense when Tim shows up, I find it a bit much. I like On Cinema best when it is low key passive agressive jabs and inane chat rather than the full blown Alex Jones tempest it is now. I spose it's too far gone now to go back to that, I still really enjoy it mind.

Gregg's grunted 'no' kept making me chuckle.

I think it's often tempting to view On Cinema as Tim = chaotic evil and Gregg = lawful good, but really Gregg is no less selfish than Tim, just far less destructive.

Absolutely. They both ultimately display different kinds of extreme selfishness, but Tim's mercurial and Gregg's myopic.

This is pretty good and useful for anyone looking at this thread, interested, but overwhelmed:

cheers!

Stone cold?  Mark was corpsing like a motherfucking during the Bohemian Rhapsody cover.

Axiom was brilliant, earnestly trying to follow Tim's lead.

I see a little scaramental of a scratch.
Spare him his life from prosaucity.

Will someone please write down Tim's lyrics in full?

[thraxx]

And Tim needs to be careful as the LAPD have a warrant to talk to him.

[trabuch]

Probably unfair to compare. But they came out at the same time, so I will. This is better than Partridge.

I mentioned his almost corpsing upthread.

I loved "Just gotta get right, just gotta get right mama mia".
