The On Cinema cinematic universe is a hilarious satirical cycle/storyline about 2 extremely egoistic faux movie lovers in an exurban Inland Empire town clashing with each other and the various hijinks and mediocre attempts at producing media that result in between
You can follow it here
https://www.oncinematimeline.comIt's genuinely a very deep metatextual satire of a weird kind of zeitgeist in the YouTube era

“circlejerk-y” would be more apt

https://letterboxd.com/randy2themax/film/the-2nd-annual-live-on-cinema-oscar-special/>I'm only four seasons into the On Cinema-verse and I know it will get weirder as the seasons go by, but based on the first few seasons, the "Tim Heidecker" character is possibly the most realistic 21st Century character ever put on any kind of screen, big or small.>He is the perfect media consumer, entirely uncritical and willing to watch whatever is put in front of him by the corporate overlords of popular culture. He is also desperately hungry for fame and media validation, yet incapable of understanding the industrial machinery behind YouTubers, musicians, filmmakers or even film critics. (Thus, as a Fox News-watching reactionary, he neatly predicts the rise of marginal entertainers-turned-alt-right personalities during the 2016 election campaign.)>Unlike Gregg, however, Tim is capable of admitting, on rare occasions, that he is wrong and (even more rarely) recognizing his pathetic existence at the margins of an all-consuming media environment.

Tim Heidecker is big fish in small pond.
Gregg stays with Tim because he realizes Tim is a IRL fi noir character with all the pomp and circumstance.

I love the badly affected faces that Tim makes whenever he's being catty towards Gregg, they're always such a perfect touch

>>28705I think the thing is, Tim is supposed to be like this bourgeois who came up with this vanity project to give himself something to do, and Gregg is some self-billed cinema "expert" that Tim falls for because he's that incurious who ends up being the only consistent guest on Tim's project and manages to wheedle his way in so that he gets a professional seeming soapbox for all of his "expertise"

>>27431On Cinema is so good. I think it's literally like the Infinite Jest tape IRL. Everyone I know who gets into it, it's just consumed their entire mediasphere.

On Cinema, through the Trump admin was basically a biopic about the American right wing over the past decade. Tim just keeps evolving as a mirror to all the horror around him.

>>37328holy shit a bump from someone that isn't me
it's pretty time intensive so that's probably why
i managed to binge through all of it up until it went over to that special streaming service in under 2 months tho

I notice that a lot of on cinema viewers have experience with abusive people, many that I've talked to. Tim's character is a classic abuser but he is made into a silly and harmless villain that we can laugh at.
People tell me about on cinema being relaxing to them, even though it's ostensibly one of the most chaotic and dramatic shows plot-wise, and again I think it's because they are enjoying the catharsis of seeing a Boogeyman that they dealt with in the past (or sometimes are dealing with in the present) get egg on his face again and again

add on top the political stuff about him being a paranoid reactionary that makes cringey racist spy movies, goes anti-vax, etc.

I want to show it to a Chinese audience and see what they think, because it seems in line with their picture of America

I love the extremely underplayed references to marijuana sprinkled throughout the show, guaranteed to freak you out when you least expect it, e.g.
>the TCH vape system
>The HEI Network
>"I'm happy, I'm healthy, I'm HEI"
It's like he's pointing his finger right at you
