Tim Heidecker on vapes, world-building, and the On Cinema-verse
With Mister America, Tim Heidecker takes his character “Tim Heidecker” to the streets of San Bernadino County to run for local office, expanding the wild world of On Cinema into feature film territory. Though, as he tells it, that wasn’t always the plan. Ahead of the film’s Los Angeles premiere, we spoke with Heidecker about the project’s accidental evolution into a feature, and how he worked with director Eric Notarnicola and editor Sascha Stanton Craven to create the movie’s claustrophobic feeling-which he amusingly likens to Rope and Rear Window. Heidecker also touched on the schizophrenic nature of the “On Cinema universe,” the further obfuscation of who Tim Heidecker really is, and how they saw the current vape controversy coming years ago.

Tim (and Eric, and Gregg, and Mark) are all really incredible. Gifted, creative, inventive, talents across a crazy spectrum. I'm really, really late to this game, only having discovered On Cinema and Tim & Eric in the past year or so. But, they never cease to amaze me. They're true artists. Crazy, yes. But man...if I had half the talent, drive, or creativity they have... With all the garbage out their in the arts/movies/music world, these guys (and gals, Ayaka!!) are a treasure.

Mark makes the other professional comic actors on On Cinema break character and burst out laughing so frequently 😂 which is pretty impressive imo lol he himself probably is actually really funny tbh
I have legitimately never seen Tim out of character. This was really interesting.

Zach B when I first watched On Cinema, I binged everything that was available from the podcasts straight through OC and Decker, through season X. At some point I just started to believe that was Tim’s character, especially after how awesome the Oscar shows were despite being totally improv’d. I had to reel myself back thinking that it wasn’t real life anymore - that says a lot about Tim and Gregg’s acting!

Tim Heidecker, if you ever read this I just want you to know that A. The "just think about your dad" element of that sketch, and the following "Dad" mini-sagas with Pierre is the single funniest thing me and my wife have ever seen. And B. You and Eric have enriched my life for years and made my college years from 2009-2011 absolutely incredible. Seriously though. Great Job.

I saw Tim and his 10 piece band live in San Francisco a couple of years back. the funnest shows I’ve ever been to easily. Even though there was only maybe 100 people in a 300 person venue, Tim was 110% all in with his performance, he took it so seriously I was floored. The guy can legitimately rock. Thank you Geno! Thank you Quirky! Love you both!
When it started On Cinema was just a pretty funny satire I kinda just liked. But the whole saga is just epic at this point.

I thought the same thing."Much like Andy Kaufman" I think anything he says that's the least bit flattering of himself is going to sound like something THAT Tim would say. Even if it's earned.
It doesn't feel right to acknowledge that Tim is an actor and that the OCAC universe isn't real. I blame Gregg.
Tim being normal is disturbing
