TheOn Cinemauniverse has expanded much more since then, so this guide has been updated.

What I did anticipate, however, was that everyone in attendance would besuperinto it.

I cant imagine what overhearing that crowd would have been like for an outsider.

You see, there are comedies, there are cult comedies,and then theresOn Cinema.

And thats just the tip of the iceberg.

ButOn Cinemaisnt as impenetrable as all this makes it seem.

Getting into it isnt hard; there are just a few basic points worth going over before diving in.

(These movies are then deemed five baggers.)

Things quickly spin out from there.

Tim and Greggs bickering provides the main comedic thrust of the show.

And while Tims performance is necessarily bigger and flashier, Gregg matches it in his affable, low-key arrogance.

Every mention of his film expertise is met with a desperate little smirk.

But its not just the two men locked in a battle of one-upmanship.

Much of the appeal of watchingOn Cinemacomes from seeing how the show tops itself every year.

More on that later.)

(And thats not to mention the Gregg-helmed season three, whichpits Decker against Dracula.

A furious Tim cancels it after three episodes.)

And to be sure, the show is all a dumb macho fantasy.

Jack Decker is who a man-child imagines might set the world to rights after watching hours ofInfowars.

Hes always right, after all; his worldview is never questioned.

Of all the branches of theOn Cinemafamily tree,Deckeris perhaps the most accessible.

Its my favorite version.

Naturally, Tim what else?

But regardless, its effective parody.

Just try getting the Fill me up … again!

hook of Empty Bottle out of your head once its in there.

Tim mostly passes the time getting more and more drunk and verbally abusive as the night goes on.

(Tim: Its O-S-C-A-R. Gregg: Its spelled both ways.)

Another year, he brings out an old man and claims hes actually legendary actor James Dean.

More often than not, these specials also end in disaster.

Tim will be tried on 20 counts of manslaughter, one for each of the victims.

On Cinemaalways runs the risk of and occasionally succumbs to a certain level of repetitiveness.

That C-SPAN vibe is more than cosmetic, though: The Trial plays everything completely straight.

So, naturally, Tim vowed revenge and crashed Greggs 2019 Oscar special just as it got going.

Mister America

The Delgados werent the only targets of Tims vengeance, though.

From there, its all downhill.

Social Media and Fan Interaction

Wow you flopped when it came to this simple task.

Killed Delagados son and now must remain in the sidelines.

Tim, like try and do it with grace.

Give the New show a chance.

Fan outreach goes beyond the internet, though.

(Congratulations to Michael Matthewss long-awaited paranormal-conspiracy news programXposed.)

(That being said, my HEI Points Wallet ID is 60802fc4ab141d06d7b95645054cac1b.

Feel free to tip me, Timheads.)

(For movie buffs, this is sort of a dream come true, Gregg correctly remarks.)

Its just as unclear how much longerOn Cinemaat the Cinemawill continue to run.

But a universe that large will surely collapse under its own weight eventually, right?

Personally, I tend to check back in every few weeks and catch up on what Ive missed.)

Five bags of popcorn.
