Latest Episodes

In this episode we are joined by Admiral Gorgg for a OCATC spring tour review!

In part two of our coverage of The Last Oscar special, Tim suffers a major defeat while Gregg is ascendant as their never-ending battle rages on. Perhaps until the end of all existence?

In this latest Oscar Special, we see Tim and Gregg find new and more depraved ways of pushing their own sick agendas to the detriment of all around them. Is this the end of the Host and the Buff?

Mark arrives with at the Manor with puppets in tow and we recognize the funeral of Gabriel Amato to be one of the funniest and deepest moments in all of On Cinema.

  • Five bags of popcorn and a big thing of soda

    Obviously came here for the On Cinema insights, but I really love the episodes that focus on other subjects, ESPECIALLY the series on the biblical book of Job. Sooo much funnier and more interesting than I was expecting it to be. Keep up the good work guys!

  • MAGA bashing and boring

    The on cinema content is fun to listen to if you can get past the constant maga bashing and boring NPR like speaking tone. One of them had the nerve to call the Trump supporting moms at the Klamath County Library incapable of compassion because they support Trump. They didn't have to go there. Way to alienate a portion of the fan base for no good reason losers.

  • Five bag podcast

    My only complaint is that you can’t be a Tim head and a Gregg head, which these gentleman try to be. In fact, you have to choose just one head. A person can’t have two heads. But it’s possible that you could have three heads like the three headed dog in the Harry Potter movie (2002 114 minutes). So pick one more head or lose a head, that’s my advice to these fellows.

    Thanks to this pod for making my love of the On Cinema world feel legitimate. It’s become part of my routine to listen to this pod... more
