    You kinda need to be snowed-in at a cabin or traveling with someone to properly and fully subject them to enough of the show that they have to keep watching once they start to get it. It doesn’t really work if you just convince a buddy to check it out because even if they think the first couple episodes are funny they will most likely pick something else up and forget about the show before it gets its hooks in.

The whole show, the trial, decker, the other spin off movies, the Oscar specials, the Hei network website itself, the whole meta reality of this damn thing. And I gotta say, the truest thing about this video is the feeling that, this show is entirely trapped in my own head. I will never, ever be able to share this with anyone else in my actual life.

    My favorite thing about this whole series are the live Oscar specials because it's a several hour long highly improvised show where the real Tim and Greg are desperately trying to keep in character throughout the whole thing. My favorite thing is when they do break and have to somehow hide it, and that's also when you know that eachoter's performances are getting to them. Greg especially is hard to crack, so when Tim does something that forces him to turn away from the camera it's just extra hilarious.

    Kudos for making such a great video for my all time favorite comedy ever. I don't like when people say about On Cinema things like "people don't get real comedy" or "this has ruined other comedy for me" which I used to hear a lot and found to be a bit pompous, so I'm glad you captured the nuances of this being just great comedy that is niche but not necessarily better or worse - just so rewarding because of how much it challenges you in the way you normally only associate with great dramas that, for example, might force you to challenge your emotions to get the reward of the drama experience

    I absolutely loved and was enthralled by Fielder and Safdie’s “The Curse” and I think anyone who gets sucked into that style of comedy, which feels very voyeuristic, will appreciate “On Cinema, At The Cinema.” “On Cinema” is my favorite long con; the world they’ve built throughout the years and the dedication Heidecker and Turkington to keep building it is unlike anything else I’ve ever seen.

Thank you so much for taking time to get the footage, for editing and for doing such a good job breaking down the synopsis and humor. Please make more essays focused on On Cinema. A personal opinion, Tim in On Cinema is one of the most well crafted villains in the history of visual entertainment. I'm waiting for channels like The Vile Eye and What's Therapy to meticulously break down Tim's psychosis and behavior patterns.

    Great video! It's really nice seeing someone go in depth on not only the style of comedy, but the way uses mixed media in a way I haven't seen before (to insane effect). One thing you briefly glossed over that I think could have been highlighted more is the fact that the audience also actively plays a role in this world. It's amazing how genuinely clever and funny the comments are sometimes. That and everyone's dedication to the rp (to the point where on the reddit you literally have to clarify when you're saying something out of character).

    Whenever I try to pitch On Cinema to someone who hasn't seen it, I sound so all-over-the-place and crazy that my friends just politely nod and move on. There's no way to express what makes it so good without watching it. I don't know how to explain why a 5-hour mock trial is even watchable, let alone one of the most brilliant and layered comedic pieces ever. I don't have a quick sell about why a man in a Pinocchio costume sobbing while face-down in a pile of cake-covered VHS tapes is both obviously funny and genuinely chilling, in context.

It reminds me of how happy I was when people were FINALLY making videos on my favorite tv show of all time, Moral Orel. It was my fave show ever since it came out but just fell into obscurity and that 3rd season became notorious for making it unapproachable, although I always disagreed. But this past year, I’ve seen so many video essays of people sharing there love for it. Anyways, just get that same feeling from these. Great work dude
