Club career

Early career

Dinamo Zagreb

Petar started off by playing in Dinamo's Hitrec-Kacian football academy. With Dinamo's pioneers he won three titles from 2008 to 2009 to 2010–11 and with the cadets he won one title in 2012–13. Besides these titles he won the 2014 Mladen Ramljak Tournament with the cadets scoring a total of five goals, won the silver medal with the cadets on the 2014 Zayed International Football Cup and, with the juniors, won the 2014 Tournament of Turopolje. He went with Luka Capan on football trials with the seniors and made his debut for the seniors, donning the number 15, in a 3–1 win against NK Istra 1961 on 6 February 2014  playing the first half. However, Mamić and Capan were put on the B squad after the 2014 summer transfer window to serve as backup for the seniors.

2014-15 season

Dinamo Zagreb 2

Mamić debuted for the B team, this time wearing the number 26, in a friendly 4–0 win over NK Hrvatski Dragovoljac on 20 July 2014. Mamić proceeded to play seven more friendlies earning a red card in the sixth game before suffering a concussion in the seventh game after a strong blow to the head only minutes after having scored his first goal for the B team against . Following his injury, he was replaced by Nicolas Taravel but resumed training after only a week making a comeback, and also debut in the league, five days later, on 9 September, in a 5–2 win over NK Moslavina. Mamić, after having played one more league game, was called in for the U-19 national team to participate in the 2015 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification and missed out on three league games before returning, on 14 October, in a friendly against . Mamić returned to the league on 18 October, playing full-time and earning a yellow card in a tie with NK Vrbovec. Mamić played five more games in the fall season, earning two more yellow cards and scoring his first ever league goal from a penalty, on 29 November, in a 3–1 win over NK Rijeka II.

Mamić was speculated to be kept in the B team so as to maintain Dinamo B's domination in the league in hopes of moving up to Druga HNL, especially after Mario Musa was called back to Dinamo's seniors. However, on 8 January 2015, Lokomotiva announced that Mamić had been loaned out to them for the rest of the season, along with Franko Andrijašević and Dino Perić.

Lokomotiva

Mamić debuted for NK Lokomotiva on 18 January 2015, wearing the number 3, in a friendly 3–0 win over NK Vrapče. Mamić went to Rovinj on trials with the team and played all of the matches of the . Mamić debuted for the team in the league on 7 February in a 1–2 loss against GNK Dinamo Zagreb. Three weeks later he was a last-minute substitute and was substituted in on two more games before being given another chance to play in the starting roster again in a 1–2 loss against Dinamo. Mamić was once more a substitute and finally got to play three full games in a row at the end of the season, even earning two yellow cards. Mamić also played both quarter-final games against NK Rijeka in the 2014–15 Croatian Football Cup and earned a yellow card in the first game.

Lokomotiva had qualified for the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League so Mamić went with the team on trials in Slovenia and debuted in the Europa League on 9 July 2015 in the second leg of the First round in a 2–2 draw against Welsh side Airbus UK Broughton F.C. He remained on the bench in the Second round against P.A.O.K. with Lokomotiva eventually being expelled with a 3–7 aggregate score. Mamić was benched for the first three games of the 2015-16 season before being transferred back to Dinamo Zagreb 2 to enable Dinamo to loan out Borna Barišić to Lokomotiva seeing as they had already loaned out six players to them.

2015-16 season

Return to Dinamo Zagreb 2

Having left NK Lokomotiva, Mamić returned in the second round of the 2015–16 Croatian Second Football League on 22 August 2015 in a 2–0 loss against HNK Šibenik. He played four more games before scoring an own goal in a 0–2 loss against NK Rudeš as well as earning a yellow card in the next match. He did, however, make up for it after another game by scoring his first goal of the season, as well as the equalizer, after having received a yellow card, in a 2–1 turnover victory over HNK Šibenik. He played two further games, receiving a yellow card in the second one before playing a game for the first team in the second round of the 2015-16 Croatian Football Cup against NK Mladost Ždralovi in which he also received a yellow card. He then missed out on the next match due to accumulated yellow cards and returned on 13 November against HNK Gorica but remained on the bench. Mamić finished the first half of the season playing full-time in both remaining games and earning one more yellow card. He played seven warm up games before the start of the second half of the season, including warm ups in Umag. Mamić continued the season in style scoring the first goal from a penalty in a 3–2 turnover victory against HNK Segesta and giving an assist to Karlo Majić for the equalizer. He scored the last goal in a 3–0 victory over NK Rudeš in the very next game from an assist from Bojan Knežević as well as the last goal in a 2–0 victory two games later against HNK Segesta after an assist by Tibor Halilović. Mamić played the next four matches before playing an excellent match, giving both assists in a 2–1 victory over NK Sesvete and earning a yellow card. He played another two games but was forced to miss out on the following match against HNK Gorica after having accumulated two yellow cards. He finished the season playing both remaining games.

2016-17 season

Continued success with Dinamo Zagreb 2

After the season ended Mamić played in all of the B team's five preseason warm-up games and started the following season playing the second half of the first game against NK Solin and earning a yellow card. He was then benched for the following two games in light of transfer negotiations with Cagliari Calcio but returned in the following match against NK Novigrad after the 2016 summer transfer window had closed. He went on to play the next three league matches, earning a further two yellow cards but then missed the next game after having been added to the first team's final roster for the 2016-17 UEFA Champions League. Ultimately he was not chosen for the game squad and so returned in the next league match but was again benched in the next game when, due to many player's absences, six first team players came on. He played the next game and then earned a yellow card and scored a last-minute goal in a 3–1 victory over NK Solin with Dinamo one player down. In the following game he accumulated a second yellow card causing him to miss the next game but returned immediately after and then gave an assist to Davor Lovren to put Dinamo ahead in a 1–2 loss against NK Lučko. He played the next game, receiving another yellow card, and missed the one after that a week before playing Dinamo's first game of the 2016–17 Premier League International Cup against Swansea City. He played the closing game of the half season and then the second match of the Premier League International Cup against Chelsea but was replaced by Kruno Ivančić in the last group match against Feyenoord. In mid January he started trials before the second half of the season but his transfer to Frosinone Calcio was announced before the end of the month.

Frosinone

Mamić was being eyed by a few Italian clubs (including Cagliari) before finally transferring to Frosinone Calcio, which had been relegated to Serie B in the previous season and was hoping to return to Serie A. Having been transferred before the start of the second half of the season he was given a trial period to prove himself on the field. After a lackluster performance in the trials his position in the team was uncertain but he then joined the youth team as a non-quota player for one game of the Campionato Nazionale Primavera against A.S. Roma. After that he was put on the first team for the thirtieth match day. However, he was benched for his first four games, missing out on a few training sessions between the second and third games due to a friendly with the Croatia U-21 team but managed to return to training immediately after to continue being benched. He then missed the next game only to be benched for two more games. After yet another absence, this time of four games, he returned to the bench for two more games  and then missed out on the last game of the season. His final appearance on the bench was for the first leg of the semi-final of the promotional play-offs. Having played zero minutes on the field and only nine games on the bench, Mamić had left no discernible mark on the team and was rumored to be loaned out to allow him to play more regularly. However, with his trial period finished and Frosinone remaining in Serie B, his departure was completed by the end of July.

2017-18 season

Inter Zaprešić

A little over two weeks after leaving Frosinone, it was announced that Mamić was joining NK Inter Zaprešić to strengthen its defense, along with Mato Grgić, after Jakov Filipović had left. His first game for Inter was a friendly 0–5 loss against SK Sturm Graz. Mamić, again donning the number 3, made his competitive debut for Inter and return to the Croatian First Football League on 10 September 2017, earning a yellow card, in a 0–3 loss against his former club NK Lokomotiva. He played four further league games, giving an assist for the equalizer to Tomislav Šarić and earning a yellow card in the second game against HNK Cibalia as well as earning another yellow in the fourth game against NK Slaven Belupo and then missed out on one game. He also played two Cup games before scoring his first league goal for the team in a 1–1 draw against NK Istra 1961. He played the next four league games, receiving yellow cards in the latter three, forcing him to miss the following match. He finished the year playing the last game of the half season and the Cup quarter-final.

Mamić joined the team in warm-ups before the beginning of the second half of the season  and then went with the team to Medulin, returning to the  after three years. He played all three group matches, doubling the team's lead in the last game with a header in a 2–0 victory over FK Borac Banja Luka and cementing their spot in the final. He went on to play the final, with Inter securing the cup in a 1–0 victory over NK Lokomotiva. He finished the warm-ups with the team in one last friendly and then started the latter half of the season playing in the first two games, earning a yellow card in the first one. He was benched for the third game but returned to the starting roster in the very next game and then scored a goal in the following game against NK Lokomotiva which was misjudged offside only to give an own goal assist to Lokomotiva's Toni Datković, thus securing Inter a 2–3 turnover victory. He missed out on the following game because of the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification and returned for the following two games but was then again absent for a game. He joined the team for a friendly charity game against NK Međimurec and returned as a substitute in the next league game. Mamić played the remaining six games of the season in the starting roster, earning a yellow in the first of these, as well as playing two more friendlies. With the season coming to an end, rumors started circulating that Mamić, who still contractually had one more season with Inter, was being eyed by a few other Croatian clubs, namely Dinamo and Rijeka.

2018-19 season

Rijeka

On 15 June HNK Rijeka officially announced that Mamić had been transferred to the team and three days later during his introduction confirmed it to be on a four-year contract to compete with Leonard Zhuta for the starting left back position. He debuted for the team wearing the number 19 on 22 June in a friendly against Balzan F.C. and scored his first (and second) goal for the team in the very next friendly on 27 June against . He played in the following six friendlies giving assists in three of them. As the season started, Mamić had to wait for the second game to debut on the bench wearing the number 3, after two more absences in the league (as well as the Europa League) played another friendly and then after a final league absence debuted as a last-minute substitute on 2 September in a 1–1 draw against GNK Dinamo before missing out the next friendly due to obligations with the national under-21 team. Upon returning he immediately played his first full game in the starting roster on 16 September in a 1–1 draw against NK Osijek as Zhuta was injured but was then benched for the next league game with his position taken up by right-back Mario Pavelić. With Zhuta back in form, he was benched in the first round of the Cup and completely off the team for the next six matches, only playing the second round of the Cup and being called up for two fixtures with the national under-21 side again. He came back to the bench and on against Dinamo on 24 November as a right-back substitute after Momčilo Raspopović had been injured. He finally returned to his natural position and the starting roster in the next game as Zhuta had accumulated yellows, playing the full match, earning a yellow and finished the first half of the season on the bench on both the Cup quarter-final and last league match.

As Leonard Zhuta had been transferred to Konyaspor in the winter transfer window, a new first squad left-back option had to be decided upon. Petar went to Albufeira with the team on warm-ups before the second half of the season and played in all three friendlies, as well as the last friendly, played on home-ground. As the second half of the season started, Mamić became a standard member of the starting roster playing full-time in the first seven games, beginning with a 1–1 draw against NK Slaven Belupo in which he even had a chance at goal. In this set of games, he gave two assists, one to Maxwell Acosty against HNK Gorica on 2 February and one to Jakov Puljić against GNK Dinamo on 10 March, both for the leading goal in games that would eventually end in 1–3 losses. He also received a yellow card in the latter game and second overall after having received one four games prior. As he had been called up for the national under-21 side once again, he missed out on the next league match as well as a friendly. Upon returning he played three games but then missed out on the following two due to a suspected strain. Mamić returned to for the Cup semi-final and next league game in which he earned a yellow card. After a benching, Petar played full-time in the next two matches, earning a yellow and giving an assist to Antonio Čolak for the leading goal in the second one on 15 May, an eventual 1–2 loss against NK Osijek. He only played the last nine minutes of the following game due to a progression of osteomyelitis of the pubis and because of this finished the season on the bench in both the last league game, as well as the Cup final.

2019-20 season

Long recovery and quiet suspension in Rijeka

Still recovering from the osteomyelitis which had plagued him for the last nine rounds of the previous season, and in view of HNK Rijeka rejecting a proposition to acquire Giorgos Valerianos while at the same time eyeing Abdu Conté, both left backs, Mamić joined the team on trials on 17 June and started them in style by scoring the opening goal in a friendly 3–1 victory over NK Bravo on 21 June. However, seeing as he had not adequately recovered, Mamić was unable to join the team on the rest of the trials in Rijeka and Kranjska Gora and then missed out on the Croatian Super Cup and all four of Rijeka's games in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round and Play-off round as well as the first five rounds of the League. He finally returned to the bench for the next round on 1 September against NK Inter and on to the pitch in the next game, a friendly against HNK Šibenik on 7 September. Mamić continued being benched for the following five rounds before yet another absence, but appeared in the Cup, playing full-time in both the Second round on 1 October against , scoring the seventh goal in an 11–0 victory, as well as the Round of sixteen on 30 October against NK Varaždin, scoring the opener in a minimal 2–1 victory. Between these cup games, Mamić played two friendlies but was again benched for a game after helping his team to the Cup quarter-finals. He at last debuted in the new season on 10 November and received a yellow in a devastating 0–5 loss against GNK Dinamo. Following this, Petar was, along with Roberto Punčec, Zoran Kvržić and Lorenco Šimić, removed from the first team squad. Seeing as Rijeka didn't have an active second squad and the players were too old to play in the youth teams and were so given a separate training regiment, the Croatian Football Syndicate filed an appeal against this decision on the grounds of every player having a right to train and play with the rest of their designated squad. However, since this was a commonplace practice in Croatian football, the appeal fell on deaf ears and due to all this, Mamić was absent from the remaining five games of the half-season.

Loan to Varaždin
As the second half of the season approached, Petar's fate was still unknown. He had missed out on all the preseason warm-ups as well as the Cup quarter-finals. As for his suspended teammates, Roberto Punčec had left the club two weeks after their suspension and had joined Sporting Kansas City ten days later, Zoran Kvržić had transferred to Kayserispor on 9 January 2020 and Lorenco Šimić's loan had been transferred to DAC Dunajská Streda on 6 February, leaving Mamić the sole suspended player one round into the start of the second half of the season. Having returned left back Daniel Štefulj from his loan to NK Varaždin on 11 January, it had become obvious that HNK Rijeka had no intention of rehabilitating Mamić. A month after this development, on 10 February, two rounds into the season, Mamić was loaned out to NK Varaždin and joined the team on the bench in the next round against NK Inter. He debuted full-time in the following game against NK Lokomotiva on 21 February and earned a yellow, becoming a starter then on. After playing a friendly and two more league games he earned yet another yellow and was so absent from the next game due to accumulated cards. Mamić then scored his first goal for the team in a 3-1 friendly victory over NK Kustošija on 10 March. Three days before the next league round, the Croatian Football Federation suspended all competitions under its jurisdiction due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the club soon followed suit suspending all senior team practice on 15 March.

Following relaxed pandemic measures, over six weeks after their suspension, senior team practice resumed on 27 April and Petar played in all three friendly warm up games. He resumed the league along with the rest of the team on 6 June against GNK Dinamo and following a goalless draw scored his first league goal for the team on 16 June in a 3–2 victory over HNK Hajduk even earning himself a spot in  ideal XI of the league's 29th round. After yet another win, Mamić gave an assist to Jorge Obregón in a 1–0 victory over NK Inter on 25 June and was pronounced man of the match as well as earning a second spot in Telesport's ideal XI. He played the remaining five games of the season as a starter, playing the last four full-time and securing Varaždin's spot in the top tier of Croatian football for the next season in the third game.

2020-21 season

Raków Częstochowa

Petar played in NK Varaždin's only preseason warm-up and was expected to be permanently transferred to the club. However, as the season progressed, Petar's loan was not extended amidst negotiations with NK Istra 1961. Ultimately his contract with HNK Rijeka was terminated on 10 September as negotiations with Istra fell through and talks of interest from KS Cracovia and some Romanian clubs surfaced. Finally, Mamić reached an agreement with Ekstraklasa side RSK Raków Częstochowa the following day on a two-year contract. Five rounds later, on 17 October, Mamić at last debuted on the bench. Following this, however, Petar remained on the bench for the next two league rounds as well as the Round of 32 of the Polish Cup before missing out on the next league game. Ultimately, Mamić finished the half-season on the bench in the remaining four games as reports of his transfer to TS Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała surfaced.

Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała
A little under three weeks after the first reports of his potential transfer to TS Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała, Mamić's transfer was confirmed on 9 January 2021 on a contract to the end of the season with an option of extending it for an additional year and immediately debuted for the team the same day playing the first half of its first warm-up game before the continuation of the season against Czech side SFC Opava. He played the next friendly and then joined the team on trials in Poreč where he played in both remaining friendlies. Upon returning to Poland, Petar immediately debuted on 31 January in the league playing full-time and earning a yellow card in the first round 1–0 victory over Legia Warsaw. He played the following four matches full-time before being substituted in the last minutes of the next one. He then received a concussion on 15 March in the following game against Stal Mielec, forcing an injury substitution after which he missed out on the next two league games. Petar returned in a friendly on 26 March but played for only part of the second half and was then benched for the following two league games. He at last returned to the league pitch in style on 20 April, giving an assist to Rafał Janicki for the team's opening goal and equalizer before being substituted out in an eventual 3–4 loss to Śląsk Wrocław. Even though he remained a starter, Petar did not play full-time in any of the remaining four league matches but did give an assist on 8 May to Jakub Hora for the leading goal in an eventual 1–1 tie with Wisła Płock. With Podbeskidzie ending up relegated and Petar being one of the club's more expensive players, they amicably agreed not to extend his contract, leaving him a free agent on 18 June.

2021-22 season

Hrvatski Dragovoljac
A week after the 2021 summer transfer window had closed, news surfaced that Petar was returning to the Croatian First Football League and joining newly promoted NK Hrvatski Dragovoljac in yet another bid to avoid relegation.

International career
Mamić debuted for the Croatian under-14 team on 26 May 2010 playing a friendly against Bavaria. Later that year he joined the under-15 team and played six friendlies throughout the season. After a short hiatus he joined the national under-16 side eventually competing in eight friendlies.

Croatia Under-17

Mamić debuted for the Croatian under-17 team on 1 August 2012 in a friendly against the Czech Republic scoring his first ever international goal only two days later in a friendly against Serbia. Mamić was selected for the 2013 UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualification team. He played a good first game against Israel receiving a yellow card
only to score his first competitive goal in the second match against Kazakhstan. After qualifying for the Elite round Mamić scored the first goal against Spain after a corner kick in the 45' minute eventually leading to Croatia's victory. Petar played the rest of the qualifications qualifying for the European Championship and after two goalless games received a red card in the final game against Ukraine. In October Mamić, having missed the first game of the World Cup, played a very good game against Panama and played a somewhat weaker game against Uzbekistan eventually being replaced by Ivan Fiolić.

Croatia Under-19
Besides playing three friendlies with the Croatian under-18 team Mamić was called in for the Croatia national under-19 football team and debuted on 12 August 2013 in a friendly against Azerbaijan playing 79 minutes before being replaced by Luka Capan. Mamić was also called in for the 2015 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification playing full-time in all three games earning a yellow card in the third game against Turkey and qualifying for the Elite Round. Mamić played the first and third game in the Elite Round with both ending in draws but ultimately failed to qualify for the 2015 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.

Croatia Under-21
Mamić participated in three day trials for the Croatia national under-21 football team in Sveti Martin na Muri and debuted for the team on 23 March 2017, playing the last half hour, in a friendly 3–0 win over Slovenia. He joined the team for the autumn 2017 part of the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification and debuted in the competition as a last-minute substitute in a 5–1 victory over the Czech Republic on 9 October 2017. He accompanied the team for the entire qualifying tournament and played full-time in the last game against San Marino on 15 October 2018. He played the team's following match, a friendly against France on 15 November 2018, and another against Italy on 25 March 2019. He was named in the preliminary squad for the Euro but eventually missed the cut due to osteomyelitis and so didn't accompany the team for two friendlies as well as the entire tournament.

Player profile
A player of great motor functions and speed, Mamić has been described as the best left-back of his generation in the GNK Dinamo Zagreb Academy. Exclusively a left field player, his natural role is a defensive back with occasional bursts along the line towards the opposing goal in which he can center or even shoot. He is an admirer of Andrew Robertson but doesn't try to emulate anyone's specific style. He is most at home playing in tandem with a player in front who can take up finishing roles, either a left midfielder like Alexander Gorgon in HNK Rijeka or a left winger like Domagoj Bradarić in the Croatia national under-21 football team.

title: On Cinema

text:
On Cinema (also called On Cinema at the Cinema and On Cinema! and More in the Morning for the video series) is an American comedy web series and podcast starring Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington. The duo appear, using their own names, as a pair of hapless movie reviewers to promote new film releases. The show started as an independently released podcast from 2011 to 2013, before being picked up as a professionally produced web video series by Thing X in 2012, continuing after the site merged with Adult Swim's website in 2013. The show moved to HEI Network, an independent service, in 2021, with funding given by user subscriptions and special event ticket purchases.

On Cinema at the Cinema is the hub of a 'fictional universe' that includes the podcast, 13 seasons of the video series, yearly live Oscar specials, a spin-off limited series entitled "The Trial", the spin-off series Decker, a movie review app, an On Cinema Live! tour, and a film entitled Mister America.

On Cinema also features myriad guest actors, some of whom play fictionalized versions of themselves, most notably Joe Estevez and Mark Proksch. The show and fictional universe have a dedicated cult following of fans who play along with the storylines via social media, often taking sides as "Timheads" or "Greggheads", or "Unityheads" for those that do not take a side. Heidecker and Turkington also started Decker-Con, where they appear in character and interact with fans.

Premise
Early podcast episodes of On Cinema were usually no longer than one or two minutes. Heidecker and Turkington would "review" films without actually providing any meaningful information or critical insight. With the video series, Tim and Gregg start using a rating scale of "bags of popcorn" ranging from 0–5. While Gregg respects the limit of five, Tim often goes overboard giving "6 bags" or dozens more, creating tension with Gregg. Almost every film gets a score of "5 bags"—known as a 'five-bagger'—or higher from both reviewers.

Although reviewing films remains the central conceit, the focus of the series quickly shifted from a mockery of amateur podcasting and YouTube criticism to an extended, improvisational character study of the duo. Heidecker frequently uses his time on camera to discuss anything on his character's mind except film, or to simply berate and belittle Turkington. Turkington's character fancies himself a "film expert," his only qualification being an enormous collection of forgettable mainstream films from the 1980s and 1990s on VHS.

The series continues to provide reviews that purposely offer no real critical insight. Later seasons have seen Tim lose interest in reviewing movies, instead creating a TV show, Decker, and starting a rock band, Dekkar. The scale of events has increased dramatically as the show has progressed, with both Tim and Gregg causing deaths and injuries, mainly indirectly.

Major characters

Tim Heidecker
Played by Tim Heidecker as a fictionalized version of himself, Tim is the creator and host of On Cinema. Despite being host, he appears to know very little about the films he is discussing, although he is an avid fan of Tom Cruise and Jack Reacher. Tim often uses his show to discuss his conservative views and personal problems, or to promote his other projects, like his action series Decker, his band Dekkar or his company HEI Inc. Tim is an aggressive egomaniacal alcoholic, constantly drinking and berating his costars during the Oscar specials.

Tim has faced multiple family problems throughout the show. Tim has an estranged teenage son from his first marriage, which ended after he underwent brain surgery against the wishes of his wife. He then met Ayaka while she was staying with his family as a foreign exchange student. The two hook up and eventually marry, birthing a child named Tom Cruise Jr. Heidecker. Tom Cruise Jr. died shortly after birth after Tim refused to have him vaccinated, and his death led to their marriage rapidly spiraling apart. After they divorced, Tim married Juliana, the sister of fellow Dekkar band member Axiom, which was short-lived. Tim then began a relationship with Toni Newman, the sole juror who refused to find Tim guilty and Tim's aide for his political campaign. They married twice, but following an affair and a trip to rehab, a newly sober Toni divorced Tim.

Gregg Turkington
Played by Gregg Turkington as a fictionalized version of himself, Gregg is a frequent guest of On Cinema, sometimes acting as host when Tim is away. Gregg is a film buff and self-described movie expert, with a large amount of unimportant and uninteresting trivia to share about films discussed on the show. Despite his obvious lack of critical insight Gregg believes that On Cinema should be devoted exclusively to "the movies" rather than Tim's personal life and views. Gregg has an extensive collection of VHS cassettes located in Victorville, California which he refers to as the Victorville Film Archives, boasting that it's one of the largest film archives in America, though its exact size is unknown and has been destroyed on multiple occasions by Tim. Gregg's favorite film is The Hobbit and he describes himself as a "Hobbithead", campaigning every year for the Academy Awards to recognize Peter Jackson and give the Best Picture award to The Hobbit trilogy, believing that the Academy has "a write-in section". Gregg produces many of the show's recurring segments, including "Popcorn Classics" and "On Cinema On Location", and plays Special Agent Jonathan Kington on Decker. Despite his clear antipathy towards Tim, as well as the constant abuse he suffers under him, Gregg repeatedly returns to On Cinema in the hopes that he will be made co-host.

Almost nothing is known about Gregg's personal life. He is mainly quiet and withdrawn, actively avoiding confrontation, redirecting almost every conversation into a movie reference and regarding real-world events and documentary films as pointless distractions. Though not as openly hostile as Tim, Gregg is often stubborn and passive-aggressive, insisting on his incorrect knowledge when challenged and quietly criticizing Tim when he steals the limelight. As the series progresses, Gregg has shown himself to be almost as sociopathic as Tim.

Recurring characters

 Joe Estevez: Joe is a prolific actor and close friend of both Tim and Gregg and the second most regular guest on On Cinema. He portrays President Davidson and President Davidson Jr. on Decker. He is often friendly and forbearing, and often helps both Tim and Gregg out with their projects and personal problems. He staged Tim's intervention in season 8 and was the only person to visit him while in jail in season 9. He was briefly the CFO of HEI Inc. twice, although both times Tim scolded him for incompetence. He forgave Joe for this in season 13, only to retract it after Joe was caught starring in an ad for a class action lawsuit regarding the Electric Sun Festival. Joe later denounced the ad.
 Mark Proksch: Mark is an aspiring comedian and impersonator, having been hired by Tim and Gregg to do impersonations of famous actors, such as W.C. Fields, Charlie Chaplin, and the Three Stooges, for the Oscar specials. He also played various roles in Decker, most notably the terrorist Abdul. Mark is a poor impressionist, doing a similar voice for every impression. He has taken various odd jobs related to Tim and Gregg's projects, and frequently faces verbal and physical abuse from Tim and later Gregg.
 Ayaka Ohwaki: Ayaka was a foreign exchange student who stayed with Tim's family. She dated Tim briefly before being deported back to Japan, giving birth to their son, Tom Cruise Jr. They later reunited after a heartfelt plea by Tim during an episode. During Tim's trial, Ayaka testified and called Tim a cold, abusive husband and revealed that Tim forced her to abort their second child. This ended their relationship, and Ayaka returned to Japan and married a new husband.
 Dr. Luther Sanchez (portrayed by Zac Holtzman): Commonly referred to as "Dr. San", he was a practitioner of alternative medicine, serving first as Tim's acupuncturist and later as his family physician with the birth of Tom Cruise Jr. A con-man, Dr. San tricked Tim out of large sums of money for sub-standard acupuncture with dirty needles, convinced him not to vaccinate his child, and provided him with toxic vape pens that resulted in the death of 20 people at Tim's music festival. He was arrested along with Tim and committed suicide while in custody.
 Tom Cruise Jr. Heidecker (portrayed by an unknown child actor): Tim and Ayaka's son, named by Ayaka after Tim's favorite actor Tom Cruise. He died of an undisclosed illness after his father, under the supervision of Dr. San, refused to vaccinate him. Tim hotly contests this, claiming that Tom Cruise Jr.'s death was caused by a fatal buildup of black mold at Gregg's beach house. Tim later 'resurrects' Tom Cruise Jr. as a fully-grown CGI mannequin on both the fourth and seventh Oscar specials, with 'Tom' taking a stance against vaccination like his father.
 Alessandro "Axiom" Serradimigni: Axiom is a guitar player who became the second member of Dekkar after meeting Tim at Guitar Center. Loyal to Tim, Axiom at one point donates his hand to Tim via a hand transplant. At Tim's trial, it is revealed that he originally wrote the song that became Tim's "Empty Bottle", despite not being given a writing credit. Axiom briefly cut ties with Tim and Manuel after Tim dissolves Dekkar, only to return at Tim's wedding, saving the unconscious guests from carbon monoxide poisoning and reuniting the band. Axiom is then kicked out by Tim after Toni has an affair with Axiom, although they then reunite once more in the Wendy Kerby Valentine's Day Special. He is blinded when Tim crashes the VFA Tour Bus in season 13, though by the tenth Oscar special his sight returned. Upon finding out Tim crashed the bus in a suicide attempt, he and Manuel walk out. He has a sister, Julianna, who Tim was briefly married to.
 Manuel Giusti: Manuel is the third member of Dekkar, having joined in the fourth Oscar special. Overwhelmingly loyal to Tim, Manuel donates skin from his buttocks to repair Tim's burned face and perjured himself at Tim's trial by presenting a falsified suicide note that Tim wrote and had Manuel claim came from Dr. San. He has never cut ties with the band, throughout its multiple rebrands and new members. He is hospitalized when Tim crashes the VFA Tour Bus in season 13, and briefly forgets English.
 Toni Newman (portrayed by Terri Parks): Toni first appeared in Mister America as Tim's campaign manager for his district attorney campaign. Toni was the sole juror in Tim's trial who voted not guilty because she believed in his innocence, resulting in the mistrial. While Toni was more competent than Tim in some areas, she was often equally disorganized and didn't hesitate to employ illegal tactics to achieve her ends. She later joined HEI Inc. as the CFO. They married at the end of season 11 and again during the seventh Oscar Special. While drunk at her birthday party during season 12, Toni has an affair with Axiom, enraging Tim. She goes to rehab and later returns sober, revealing that she was constantly under the influence of alcohol the entire time she knew Tim, and admitting that she knew he was guilty. She then kicks Tim out of her house and files for divorce.
 Matt Newman (portrayed by Tobias Icasatti): Matt is Toni's son from a previous marriage. As a step-dad, Tim tried to bond with Matt in both the seventh and eighth Oscar special, mainly talking about video games. Matt doesn't show much love for Tim, and didn't give a toast at the wedding reception. Matt even messes with Tim, leading him to believe that Dr. San has been talking to him from beyond the grave.
 Michael "LaRue" Matthews: LaRue originally appeared as a bit actor from Decker, and was later hired by Tim as his bodyguard and private detective. Michael is a right-wing militant who believes in various right-wing conspiracies theories typically found on the Internet and is regularly sent by Tim on errands to obtain personal information on his supposed enemies. He's also a gun enthusiast, the host of Xposed on the HEI Network, and an amateur rapper that performed with Tim's band DEK4R. After Gregg runs him over during the eighth Oscar special, LaRue now uses an electric mobility aid vehicle.
 Edward Szymczyk (portrayed by Curtis Webster): Szymczyk was the presiding judge at Tim's murder trial. He had little patience for Tim's lack of decorum in the court room, and found Tim to be in contempt of court multiple times. After the case resulted in a mistrial, he retired.
 Vincent Rosetti (portrayed by Don Pecchia): Rosetti is the district attorney for San Bernardino County, California, and represented the prosecution in Tim's murder trial. Tim frequently disparaged him as "Rosetti the Rat" and eventually ran against him, although this campaign ended after Tim failed to get his name on the ballot.
 Josh Lorton (portrayed by Eric Notarnicola): Josh is the in-universe director of Mister America (which was directed by Eric). Tim invites Josh onto the show before the movie's release, but does not show up. After the movie releases, Tim calls Josh a "rat" and, after repeated threats throughout season 11, doxxes him.
 Rafael Torres: Rafael is an actor that hosts the sixth Oscar special in lieu of Tim. He continues to host the special until Tim and LaRue break into the studio and pepper spray him. He is not seen again until the end of the special, having contacted authorities. He then sues Delgado Media Holdings, with the lawsuit transferring over to Tim after he buys the company and renames it to HEI Inc. Tim threatens to doxx Rafael, but ultimately doesn't.
 Hank Friedmann: Hank is an restaurateur who has run many franchises seen catering the Oscar specials over the years. In the third special, he runs Chaplin's Chili, serving chef Tom Chaplin's chili. In the fourth special, he now runs Chaplin's Soup and Subs, having split from Tom Chaplin after the brand was acquired. In the fifth special, he runs Chaplin's X-press, now a gas station restaurant. In the sixth special, he runs QwikBite, having legally been forced to drop the Chaplin name. In the ninth special, he runs Tim's HEI Ranch Grub Shack. In the tenth special, he runs Tom's Original Chili and serves chili flavored popcorn that Gregg frequently criticizes through the special.
 Tom Chaplin (portrayed by Barry Agin): Chaplin is the namesake for Chaplin's Chili, but eventually split from the business and sued business partner Hank Friedmann. Through Foodman's Dream Catering, he caters Tim and Toni's wedding in the seventh Oscar special. He is one of two people to die of carbon monoxide poisoning at the end of the special. A tribute to him is shown in the eighth special.
 John Aprea: An actor best known for appearing on The Godfather Part II, John first appears on the first Oscar special and later serves as a guest host of On Cinema. He also appears on Decker as General Jeffrey Cotter. John tends to maintain a professional composure lacked by many of the other characters.
 James Dean (portrayed by Ralph Lucas): A famous actor that many believed died in 1955, until Gregg revealed in 2015 that he had faked his death, bringing him out as a guest in the third Oscar special. Tim refused to believe it was him and got Dr. San to perform a DNA test in the fourth Oscar special, which confirmed he was, in fact, James Dean. He plays Dracula on Decker.
 Wendy Kerby (portrayed by Jessica Ruth Bell): Wendy is a singer who frequents Tim and Toni's church and first appeared in the eighth Oscar special. She joins Tim's band, D4, replacing Axiom. She appears as co-host in the Wendy Kerby Valentines Day Special, but after an awkward attempt by Tim to stage a kiss between her and Manuel, she runs off set and doesn't return.
 G. Amato (portrayed by Carlos Barbouth): G. Amato is a mysterious investor and owner of The Amato Group, which funds production of On Cinema from season 13 onward. He was introduced in the ninth Oscar special as the person with the most HEI Points. He has been using Tim's HEI Ranch to mine lithium.
 Kaili Amato (portrayed by Marie Gibeault): Kaili is the co-host of On Cinema season 13 and daughter-in-law of G. Amato. She provides updates on Hollywood gossip. She is a widow, after her husband Chris Amato was suspiciously killed.
 Dudley Moore (portrayed by Richárd Bernard): "Dudley" is an impersonator of the late actor, his real name unknown. He was introduced in the seventh Oscar special and interviewed by Gregg as part of his celebration of Arthur. He later returns, with CGI, in Deck of Cards as the Two of Diamonds, and pays tribute to Gregg in the tenth Oscar special.

Series overview

Podcast
The On Cinema podcast was produced independently by Tim and Gregg. The podcast consists of Tim, along with Gregg as a "special guest" for every episode, covering movies poorly and with little insight, and often engaging in arguments. Gregg later developed a more pretentious "film buff" persona, and Tim took a turn to being obnoxiously political, sometimes devoting entire episodes to conspiracy theories, much to the chagrin of Gregg.

A running joke that was carried over to the video series is Gregg's confusion between Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, stubbornly insisting that Tim is the one with the movies reversed, rejecting any evidence to the contrary.

Season 1
The video series debuts on Thing X, a parody website created by Adult Swim, having changed its name to On Cinema at the Cinema. The series is similar to the podcast, taking place on a set meant to look like a movie theater. Gregg is still never acknowledged as more than a guest, and begins his recurring segments "Popcorn Classics", where he brings in forgotten VHS movies to showcase, and "On Cinema On Location", where he travels to filming locations of obscure movies, respectively.

Season 2
Tim reveals he has blood clotting in his brain but rejects surgery because of "side effects, the whole medical industry, and Obamacare", while Gregg pushes for him to get surgery. Late in the season, Tim introduces the first special guest other than Gregg: Ayaka Ohwaki, a foreign exchange student from Japan staying with Tim's family.

The first On Cinema Oscar Special airs, where Tim and Gregg livestream the Oscars and drink champagne. Tim gets very drunk and vomits on some of Gregg's VHS tapes which causes Gregg to walk off the set.

Season 3
Thing X merges with Adult Swim's website, and the series moves with it. The season begins with Tim in a head bandage and in pain, as he went through with the brain surgery, although his wife divorced him for this choice. Gregg begins his goal of watching "500 movies in 500 days", hoping to make the Guinness Book of World Records. Tim kicks Gregg off the show after Gregg drives all the way to San Francisco for an "On Location" segment, to rebuke Tim & (incorrectly) insist that San Francisco was the location of Star Trek II. John Aprea and Ayaka are guests on the next episode, where Tim reveals he is dating Ayaka. In the season finale, Gregg returns to the show as Ayaka was deported back to Japan.

Season 4
Tim begins season four with many health problems and introduces his personal doctor, Dr. San (Zac Holtzman), an alternative medical doctor treating Tim with "natural" remedies, including acupuncture. Dr. San begins coming onto the set with Tim, despite Gregg's objections. However, Tim's face becomes infected and he denounces Dr. San. Ayaka sends a letter to Tim on the show, announcing she is pregnant with Tim's child.

In the second Oscar Special, Tim and Gregg drink champagne, with Tim, again, getting belligerently drunk. Mark Proksch is introduced for the first time, doing impersonations of W. C. Fields and Charlie Chaplin.

Season 5
Tim moves to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and buys a motorcycle to commute back and forth to Hollywood for the On Cinema taping. He becomes a proponent of 'simple living' and state rights, embracing his Republican values. Tim premieres his new show Decker, with Gregg initially angered by the fact Tim used footage of him without asking, although he later warms up to the role after positive fan feedback.

Tim announces that Ayaka has had an abortion, despite being opposed to that medical procedure. However, Gregg interviews Ayaka via Skype from Japan, revealing she gave birth and named the boy Tom Cruise Heidecker Junior, after the actor Tom Cruise. Ayaka moves back to America with Tom Cruise Junior, and into Gregg's apartment, after Tim denies paternity. This upsets Tim and he moves permanently to Jackson Hole, making Gregg host of the show.

Season 6
Gregg begins his first season as host, with a pre-recorded VHS tape of himself as the co-host. Tim returns as host in the second episode after he realized his new friends in Jackson Hole were white supremacists. He rekindles his relationship with Ayaka, and moves into Gregg's apartment with her and Tom Cruise Junior. In the season finale, Tim proposes to Ayaka and she accepts.

In the third Oscar Special, Peyton Reed comes on the Special to promote his new film Ant-Man and announces that Gregg has been cast as a minor character in the movie, which upsets Tim. In the finale segment, Gregg introduces James Dean, the former actor who was believed to be dead since 1955. Tim does not believe this, leading to him verbally and physically threatening Dean before trashing the set.

Decker: Port of Call: Hawaii premieres during the season, with Tim and Gregg repeatedly traveling to Hawaii to shoot, exhausting them. Gregg accidentally spoils the planned ending, resulting in Tim shooting a new ending where he destroys all of Gregg's tapes. After this, Gregg leaves the show and plans to start his own.

Season 7
Gregg returns to the show after Tim promises to let him write, direct, produce the next season of Decker. He also moves to Victorville, California, and opens the Victorville Film Archives in a storage locker, where he also lives. Tim gives Ant-Man a rare one bag of popcorn which upsets Gregg, leading to him accusing Tim of paying $15,000 to have a minor role in the new Fantastic Four movie. Tim starts a rock band named Dekkar with a man named Axiom, and releases their debut single "Empty Bottle" on the show. Season 3 of Decker, titled Gregg Turkington's Decker vs. Dracula, is cancelled after three episodes after Tim lambasted Gregg for making a "mockery" of the franchise, irritating Gregg.

Gregg tells Tim that Dr. San is Ayaka's boss at her job. Tim angrily storms off the set, set to confront him, only for them to forgive each other in the next episode. Dr. San takes over as Tom Cruise Junior's new pediatric doctor. By the season seven finale, Tim announces that Tom Cruise Junior has died.

The fourth Oscar Special features periodic musical performances by Dekkar, much to the annoyance of Gregg. An animated rendering of Tom Cruise Junior as a young adult comes on stage, in which Tim and the animated Tom Cruise Junior come out against vaccination. Dr. San does a DNA test of James Dean, which proves that he is in fact, James Dean, angering Tim.

Season 8
The show moves to Victorville, where Tim has now moved into the storage unit with Gregg. Together, they buy an abandoned movie theater and open it as the "Victorville Film Center" where instead of playing new releases, a nightly showing from Gregg's VHS collection is played. Mark is hired as a concessions cashier.

Dr. San prescribes Tim a "nutritional vape system" in which Tim replaces all meals and food with an electronic cigarette full of supposed nutrients. Tim's physical condition worsens as he keeps using the vape, as he comes to the set sweating, bruised, unfocused and hallucinating. Eventually, Tim goes to an actual doctor who informs him the vape and his blood are full of legal and illegal drugs. Tim quits the vape system and swears off Dr. San once again, only to later relapse. Tim announces that Ayaka is pregnant with their second child. After he tries to get Ayaka to get an abortion, she leaves him and moves back to Japan.

A fire is started in the storage unit after Tim's vape pen overheats one night, burning the entire facility down, including the VFA. Tim suffers third degree burns on all of his body, including his face and hands. After insurance will not cover the cost of the fire, he returns to the show in bandages so he can keep working to pay for the damages and lawsuits, which exceed $1,000,000. Tim returns to a surprise intervention from Gregg, Joe Estevez, John Aprea, Mark, Ayaka, Ayaka's father, and Axiom, encouraging Tim to live a healthier life. Upset, he yells and kicks everyone but Axiom out. A remixed version of "Empty Bottle" ("MT BTL 2.0") is released after Tim retools Dekkar into an electronic band known as DKR.

Season 9
Tim moves back to Hollywood and opens "Six Bag Cinemas", a new movie theater with recliner chairs and a waiter (Mark) that brings food to customers during the movie. The Victorville Film Center is burned down, with Gregg suggesting that Tim burned it down for insurance money. Tim's skin dies after he stops using facial cream for his burns. Needing a skin transplant, Tim chooses Manuel from DKR to donate skin off of his lower back and buttocks for Tim's face and left hand.

Tim hosts the Electric Sun Desert Music Festival in Apple Valley, California, where Dr. San gave out free samples of his vape system, resulting in 20 deaths and over 100 injuries. Tim and Dr. San are arrested and jailed on murder and manslaughter charges. Gregg takes over as host with Mark as his co-host, and spend two episodes disparaging Tim. Tim returns on bail, and with his lawyer, Doug Lyman, pin the 20 deaths on Dr. San and the Apple Valley authorities who did not respond in time. However, Dr. San commits suicide in jail, so the relatives of the 20 who died now primarily blame Tim for the deaths. At the end of the season, Tim tells Gregg that, no matter what happens next, he will never forget what he said about him on the show.

The Trial
Tim is put on trial for the death of the "Electric Sun 20". Frustrated with his attorney Mark Dwyer, Tim decides to represent himself and proceeds to threaten the prosecution led by Vincent Rosetti and its witnesses and falsify evidence. Tim is issued multiple contempt citations. Nicholas Meyer, director of Star Trek II and co-writer for Star Trek IV, appears as one of the witnesses in an attempt by Tim to settle the San Francisco Star Trek argument with Gregg. Ultimately, Tim is found not guilty for only one of the 20 deaths, as that victim died of a heroin overdose. A mistrial is called for the remaining 19, due to a hung jury with 11 guilty and 1 not guilty verdicts.

Season X
During the fifth Oscar Special, Mark is locked tight into a standard diving dress while doing an impression of Matt Hooper from Jaws, being hospitalized for asphyxiation. Tim revamps On Cinema with a new intro and set, along with its first sponsor: Rio Jenesis, a protein shake company that creates a "germ shield" that Tim drinks. Gregg announces that he has resurrected the VFA, which appears to now be several bins full of VHS tapes stocked in Mark's hospital room, and has started collecting and wearing movie promotional hats to Tim's vocal displeasure. Episodes 4 through 6 were filmed in 360-degree video.

Tim faces a civil suit from one of the families of the "Electric Sun 19". His assets, including On Cinema and Decker, are being seized and he claims he might soon be facing bankruptcy. With help from his attorney Mark Dwyer, Tim manages to convince the family of one of the victims, the Delgados, to let him try to earn money for them with his various assets. The Delgado Media Holdings company is created and they hire Gregg as the managing editor, giving him creative control. Gregg's role quickly increases to that of host, while Tim's role was diminished to announcer. In the season finale, an irate Tim destroys the set, insults the Delgados, and announces his campaign for district attorney of San Bernardino County against the incumbent Vincent Rosetti.

Feature film

In July 2019, it was announced that Magnolia Pictures was going to release a feature film called Mister America, based on the On Cinema universe. The movie focuses on the storyline about Tim's failed campaign to become District Attorney for San Bernardino County between seasons 10 and 11 and introduces Toni Newman, the lone juror who voted not guilty at Tim's trial, who becomes Tim's campaign manager. The film was directed by Eric Notarnicola and debuted on October 4, 2019 at Beyondfest, held at Grauman's Egyptian Theatre.

Season 11
The sixth Oscar Special is produced by Delgado Media Holdings and hosted by new arrival Rafael Torres, though Gregg otherwise is in charge of the show. Tim eventually invades the broadcasting studio to take back control of the special and to promote conspiracy theories from QAnon, and manages to erase Gregg's video tape collection with the help of a magnetic vest. Mark, still comatose, is used by Gregg as a "living Oscar". Tim later resuscitates Mark by accidentally knocking him over.

Delgado Media Holdings is sold back to Tim with the help of a suspicious money lending website called MoneyZap. Tim is quickly hit with debt from the Delgados' company (now renamed HEI Inc.), a lawsuit from Rafael Torres, and substantial cash owed to MoneyZap, which has interest rates on its loans exceeding 300%. Toni Newman joins HEI Inc. as its chief financial officer along with board members Joe Estevez, Axiom, Manuel, and militant conspiracy theorist Michael "LaRue" Matthews. LaRue joins Dekkar and they release a third version of "Empty Bottle", with rap lyrics warning of the deep state. On advice from Toni, Tim disbands Dekkar and fires Joe Estevez from HEI Inc. At the end of the season, Tim announces that he and Toni have married.

Gregg also starts his Mobile VFA, which consists of him simply selling his old VHS tapes on the flea market. Later, he starts up a VFA Classic Movie program, where he sells public domain movies with commentary dubbed over the originals. Gregg bundles the original A Star Is Born with the 2018 adaptation, believing it to have entered the public domain along with the original, which gets Mark arrested for bootlegging. Mark gets put into a coma again while in prison and goes missing after being discharged from the hospital.

Season 12
In the seventh Oscar Special, Tim annulls his marriage to Toni, in order to stage a more elaborate second wedding with her at the special. Gregg arrives at the wedding dressed as the Joker, driving his car housing the Mobile VFA onto the set and promoting his planned celebration of the 40th anniversary of the film Arthur in 2021. Gregg leaves his car running throughout the special, causing the entire production crew and wedding party to fall unconscious to carbon monoxide poisoning, leading to two deaths.

The show moves from Adult Swim to HEI Network, a subscription streaming service created by Tim, in early 2021. Tim and Gregg host separate Oscar specials in 2021. Tim hosts his show with Toni, in a studio similar to that of a talk show, while Gregg hosts his special independently in the Mobile VFA. Tim reluctantly calls Gregg after being dissatisfied with Axiom's movie knowledge and invites him onto his show. Gregg later storms off set and back to his car after LaRue declares him guilty for the deaths from the last special, and runs over LaRue after he gets in the way, later leaving him in a wheelchair. Gregg sells off the VFA to Tim in exchange for no charges being pressed.

Between seasons, HEI Network released the pilot to "Rock House", a reality show starring Axiom, Manuel, and Wendy Kerby, a singer from Tim and Toni's church introduced in the prior Oscar special. HEI Network also launches its own cryptocurrency, HEI Points, with the intent to replace the United States dollar by 2022.

Season 12 starts with a new intro, theme, and set. Toni, drunk at her birthday party, has an affair with Axiom at the "Rock House". Toni goes to rehab for her drinking problems while Axiom is kicked out of Dekkar. The band is renamed to D4, with Wendy joining. Toni is released from rehab and tells Tim she is leaving him, confessing that she knew he was guilty during the Electric Sun 20 trial and was a heavy alcoholic for the entire time she had known Tim. Mark is again spotted by a fan, this time performing as Spider-Man on a street in Hollywood. Tim convinces Mark to return, doing a pilot called "Mark's Cavalcade of Characters". Gregg reveals that he is working with Joe on a new movie, Deck of Cards, focusing on "the original Joker", the playing card. Other pilots are made, including LaRue's "Xposed" and Gregg's "Popcorn Shuffle", with "Xposed" being chosen for a full season of its own.

Tim and Wendy Kerby host a Valentine's Day special in 2022. After an awkward staged sketch where Tim tries to instigate a kiss between Wendy and Manuel, she becomes uncomfortable and abruptly leaves, leaving D4 unable to perform. Manuel convinces Tim to patch things up with Axiom, and the three give an impromptu Dekkar reunion.

Season 13
The ninth Oscar Special takes place at the planned site of the HEI Ranch, Tim's proposed business and media center, located on a remote stretch of land near Apple Valley, California. Little work has been done, with construction vehicles everywhere and the water brown and dirty. Gregg unveils the VFA Tour Bus, made from a hastily remodeled van. G. Amato, a financial backer with more HEI Points than anyone else, is introduced. The cast and crew are harassed by locals who drive dirt bikes on set, point rifle lasers, sabotage the power from the generator, and ultimately fire upon the crew at the end of the special. Gregg evacuates everyone in his tour bus except for Tim, who confronts the locals and gets injured.

Deck of Cards released on September 2, 2022, albeit heavily edited by Tim, making a program similar to Decker. Season 13 debuted October 26, with the program being retooled into a morning show titled On Cinema! and More in the Morning. Kaili Amato now co-hosts, with The Amato Group providing funding and the new venue. Kaili and Tim expand the focus from films to social media and Hollywood in general, with Gregg included for movie discussion. A Dekkar reunion tour goes awry when their tour bus, the VFA Tour Bus, rolls into a ditch late at night, injuring Tim, temporarily blinding Axiom, and leaving Manuel unconscious for weeks. When Manuel gains consciousness again, he is unable to understand English.

After the crash, Tim starts drinking the brown grain water at the HEI Ranch, which contains lithium and other materials, claiming the water is healing him, despite it frequently making him throw up. Tim has a doctor lethally inject him in order to prove the grain water unlocks immortality; although it did not kill him, he remained unconscious and had to be hospitalized. After two weeks, Tim is released only to find out that his trailer at the HEI Ranch, with all of his personal belongings, was removed. Attempts to contact Axiom, Manuel, and G. Amato fail. Gregg offers to let Tim stay at his house, with Tim accepting and thanking him for being a friend.

Season 14
The tenth Oscar Special celebrates 10 years of Gregg's movie expertise, complete with musical numbers and a Gregg-themed set. Tim's initial support and praise of Gregg turns sour once G. Amato reaffirms his support for Tim and calls him a second son. Gregg launches the VFN, a streaming network for classic films. The service, consisting of a Dropbox folder full of public domain movies, unintentionally includes dashcam footage of the VFA Tour Bus crash, which appears to show Tim intentionally swerving the car off the ditch in a suicide attempt. The footage spreads to Twitter and eventually to the people on set. Tim, fully dressed as Pinocchio for a planned scene, plays the footage on set. Axiom and Manuel swiftly leave afterward, leaving Tim to have a violent, emotional breakdown with only G. Amato, dressed as Geppetto, consoling him.

Production
Heidecker has stated that On Cinema was started out of a desire to mock the podcasting community. The first episode was recorded on the set of The Comedy, where Heidecker and Turkington were working together, after Heidecker proposed the idea between takes. In April 2017, On Cinema initiated a Patreon page for funding, most of it going to the Oscar specials, with some of the higher options including receiving producer credits, walk-on roles for the Oscar specials, or live custom Skype reviews from Gregg Turkington.

In 2013, the On Cinema Film Guide app was released, featuring the voices of Turkington and Heidecker reviewing over 17,000 films.

The series moved premieres to Adult Swim's online live streams in 2017, with the series continuing to be posted on YouTube on a delay. The Adult Swim streams later picked up a fan-show series, Big Unhappy Family, in 2019, as a companion to season 11 and Mister America. However, in late 2020, following the COVID-19 pandemic and layoffs that shuttered the Adult Swim streams, it was announced that the show would move from Adult Swim's platforms to HEI Network, an independent streaming service created for the series.

Reception
The show has a dedicated cult following of fans who interact with the storylines via social media, often taking sides as "GreggHeads" or "TimHeads" in the frequent personal conflicts between the hosts which are often only tangentially, if at all, related to films or cinema. During the annual live Oscar special, Tim and Gregg both frequently provide interactive elements via online polls for fans to vote on. This cult following is especially found on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, the latter through Gregg and Tim's respective profiles, of which Gregg has completely devoted to the persona of his alter-ego. Heidecker and Turkington have also appeared in character on the podcasts Kreative Kontrol with Vish Khanna and The Best Show in 2015 and 2017.

Heidecker and Turkington also started Decker-Con, where new episodes of Decker are shown to fans and the cast appears as their On Cinema characters to field questions.

For "The Trial", Heidecker and Turkington upended the traditional review aspect of the series, and staged an elaborate mock event where Tim's character was on trial for murder, which lasted over a week. It received acclaim from observers, some of whom called it "brilliant" and "ambitious."

Touring

In 2018 and 2019, Heidecker and Turkington initiated a nationwide On Cinema Live! tour with special guests from the On Cinema/Decker universe such as Joe Estevez and John C. Reilly, the band Dekkar and special content created only for the tour, such as live reviewing various major release films, including Superfly, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Sicario: Day of the Soldado, Ant Man & The Wasp.

Charles Walker Clark, also known as "C. W. Clark" or "Charlie Clark" (November 3, 1871 – April 3, 1933), was an American businessman and the eldest son of William Andrews Clark Sr., one of the Copper Kings.

Early life
Clark was born on November 3, 1871 in Deer Lodge, Montana. His father, William A. Clark (1839–1925), was a Montana copper magnate and later a United States Senator for Montana. His mother, Katherine Louise Stauffer (1844–1893), was a socialite.

Career
He served as the manager and later as chairman of the United Verde Copper Company in Jerome, Arizona. Together with his father and his brother, he was also a partner in a bank in Butte, Montana.

Personal life
In 1896, Charles Clark married Katherine Quinn Roberts, who died in New York City in January 1904. Later that year, he married Cecelia "Celia" Tobin (1874–1965), a member of San Francisco high society, who came from one of San Francisco’s founding families, who opened and grew its Hibernia Bank and were patrons of numerous civic causes. She had been trained as a pianist and in equestrianism. They divorced and she later moved into a home in Hillsborough, California, which became known as the Tobin Clark Estate.

A fan and participant in equestrian sports, Clark resided at his "El Palomar" estate in San Mateo, California, a property he purchased in 1902 which had a polo field and race track. The owner of Thoroughbred racehorses, among his successful runners was United Verde, a horse named for his mining company. United Verde won several stakes races including the 1920 Bashford Manor Stakes and the 1922 Ben Ali Handicap.

According to Pulitzer winner Bill Dedman, Clark had "the longest private railcar ever built, which he sold to Howard Hughes." He was prone to heavy drinking and gambling.

He collected rare books. In 1917, the Book Club of California presented an exhibition of 66 incunabula from his collection at the Hill Tolerton Gallery, San Francisco.

Death
Charles Clark died of pneumonia on April 3, 1933, in New York City. He was buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, New York City.

title: Lo Noy de la mare

text:
Lo Noy de la mare was a humoristic and satiric weekly publication. It was written and directed by Conrad Roure, who used the pseudonym of Pau Bunyegas, among others. It was drawn by Tomás Padró. These two authors had previously worked in the magazine called “Un Tros de paper” and they decided to leave this publication to do “Lo Noy de la mare”. This magazine was first published in Barcelona in 1885, and it continued until 1886, with a total of 33 numbers. The magazine had a measurement of 310x217 mm and it contained 4 pages with 3 columns each. It had an enormous success but it had to be cancelled due to the moment circumstances, which were not good for criticism.

Content and collaborators
The weekly publication was a humoristic and satiric one. However, they did not pretend to do political criticism.

A lot of extraordinary numbers were published. One of its most important illustrators was a man that signed under the name of Koki, which was supposed to be from the man Ramón Padró. In the magazine we find a lot of different pseudonyms like Lo didot, Un conco, Lo mestre, Lo padrí, among others. Conrad Roured claimed to be the owner of these pseudonyms. However, other people thought that they referred to the best writers of the moment. This could be easily deduced because there was a special number in which took part the greatest writers of the time like Manuel Angelon, Víctor Balaguer, Antoni de Bofarull, Francesc Pelagi Briz, Damas Calvet, etcetera. The drawings of the magazine were done by Tomas Padró.

A very important number of the magazine was one that contained a lithography dedicated to Ernesto Rossi. This man was a very famous actor that played the role of Otello in the theater El Prado Catalan, which was situated in Paseo de Gracia. Tomas Padró illustrated lithography about Rossi, which was an incredible success and, as a result, the magazine sold a lot of copies.

Conrad Roure and Innocenci López did another magazine called La Rambla that was published in 1867.

The collection Lo Noy de la mare was reproduced by La Campana de Gràcia between the years 1925 and 1926 as an honorific tribute to the magazine.

title: Izzet Ahmed Pasha

text:
Izzet Ahmed Pasha (1798 – 20 February 1876), also known as Ahmed Izzet Pasha or Hacı Izzet Pasha or Hakkı Paşazâde Izzet Pasha, was an Ottoman statesman who held a lengthy series of provincial governorships from 1841 to 1870. He was also a vizier (made on 20 September 1845).

Early in his career, Izzet Ahmed Pasha was first kapıcıbaşı (master of ceremonies) at the imperial palace in Constantinople (modern Istanbul) and later the voivode of the Sanjak of Sivas. He was then made a ferik (Lieutenant General) in the Ottoman army. After this, he served as the Ottoman governor of:

 Sidon Eyalet (December 1841 – July 1842)
 Adana Eyalet (March 1843 – March 1844)
 Bolu Sanjak (March 1844 – September 1845)
 Diyarbekir Eyalet (September 1845 – October 1846)
 Erzurum Eyalet (November 1846 – November 1847)
 Ioannina Eyalet (March–September 1848, January 1855 – January 1856)
 Tripolitania (September 1848 – August 1852)
 Damascus Eyalet (1856–1857)
 Trabzon Eyalet (August 1858 – August 1860)
 Jeddah Eyalet (October 1861 – September 1864)
 Konya Vilayet (August 1865 – June 1867)
 Hüdavendigâr Vilayet (November 1868 – April 1870)

Izzet Ahmed Pasha was the son of Hakkı Mehmed Pasha (1747–1811), a prominent bureaucrat, vizier, and statesman of the time, and reportedly counted the 16th-century statesman Sokollu Mehmed Pasha as among his ancestors. While posted in Baghdad, he married the daughter of Ali Rıza Pasha, Baghdad's governor. When his father-in-law was dismissed from the governorship of Baghdad, the decree that dismissed him cited Izzet Ahmed Pasha as a source of complaints against alleged abuses of his father-in-law's administration, most likely pointing to a fallout or disagreement between the two, or a political plot against Ali Rıza Pasha by his son-in-law.

With his wife, Izzet Ahmed Pasha himself had three sons: Aziz Pasha (1835–1903), also a serial provincial governor; Hakkı Pasha (died 1877), a mutasarrıf of Bihać; and Süleyman Bey.

Izzet Ahmed Pasha retired from public office in 1870. He died six years later on 20 February 1876 and was buried in Haydarpaşa Cemetery in Istanbul.

title: Andreu Veà Baró

text:
Andreu Veà (born 1969) is a Spanish engineer, president of the Internet Society (ISOC-ES) and member of the advisory board of the Internet Hall of Fame.

He has been appointed as Digital Champion for Spain in late 2014. Digital Champions are ambassadors for the Digital Agenda, appointed by their Members States to help every European become digital and reporting to the European Commission.

For all his activities, in 2017 he has been awarded with the "National Internet Personal-Trajectory Prize", summoned and failed by the Internet Day Impulse Committee, made up of more than 60 social Spanish organizations led by the Association of Internet Users. The prize is given by the President of the Senate of Spain during the World Internet Day (May 17), at the Spanish Senate Palace.

Born in Sant Feliu de Guíxols (Girona, Spain) in 1969. Telecom Engineer (’91) and Electronic Engineer (’93), Andreu Veà has an MBA in IT Management and a Ph.D. in computer networks ('02). He had his first computer (with 3KB memory) at the age of twelve, and his first international computer network experience dates from 1986. He's brother of the scientist and primatologist Joaquim Veà Baró (1958-2016).

Since 1992, he has had the word Internet on his business card, working in the private sector, in public administration, and at the university, where he has shared his knowledge with several generations of engineers. He discovered the magic power of the net early on, contributing to the local development of the incipient Spanish market in the mid ‘90s, providing first-time connections to many companies and individuals. He co-founded the 4th Spanish Internet service provider (ISP) in 1994.

In early 1998 the new telco Retevision recruited him to launch their own ISP (iddeo). There he designed the technical system that allowed this network operator to offer the first free access to the Internet and a year later the first flat telephone rate in Spain, doubling the base of Internet users in the country in less than a year.

He is a great defender of the methods and uses of the Internet, antagonistic to the «classic PTT-telco way». He promoted and presided over ESPANIX (the major Spanish Internet exchange point) and the installation in Madrid and Barcelona of one of the 13 DNS global root servers.
After his doctoral dissertation thesis on the technology, history, and social structure of the Internet (which for 8 years was one of the top 25 most downloaded, 260,000 copies), he was invited by Vint Cerf (one of the “fathers of the Internet”) to continue his original research at Stanford University (California, USA), from which he launched the international research program WiWiW.org.

Nowadays he contributes to the launching and soft-landing of technology-based companies in Silicon Valley. He has been elected as Eminent Expert for Spain on the Grand Jury at the UNESCO’s World Summit Award (Global Awards for mobile apps).

He is the founder and current President of the Spanish chapter of the Internet Society (ISOC-ES) and is the only European to be selected to serve on the advisory board of the Internet Hall of Fame.

His next challenges are focused on helping to connect the next 5 billion inhabitants on earth to the Internet and to improve the quality of life of people in the less favored areas of the planet through the intensive, pervasive and nomadic use of the Internet.

title: I. M. B. Stuart

text:
Ian Malcolm Bowen Stuart (18 September 1902 – 3 August 1969), known as I. M. B. Stuart, was an Anglo-Irish schoolmaster, author and broadcaster in the United Kingdom who migrated to the United States in 1946.

In 1924 he played rugby for Ireland and also for the British Lions, and he later taught and wrote extensively on the game, which he introduced to Harrow School in 1927.

Life
The son of William Henry Stuart, Estates Commissioner for Ireland, by his marriage to Florence Ann Bowen, Stuart was educated at Malvern and Trinity College, Dublin, which he represented at Rugby football, running, and tennis. He was a Medallist in History and political science at Trinity in 1924, graduating MA. His mother was related to Edward Ernest Bowen (1836–1901) a schoolmaster at Harrow and the author of the school song "Forty Years On".

From 1925 to 1927 Stuart was an assistant schoolmaster at St Paul's School, London, continuing to play rugby for Blackheath, then spent four years teaching at Harrow, having been recruited by Cyril Norwood to implement the introduction of Rugby football to the school. Between 1925 and 1932 Stuart wrote many articles for London newspapers and was a BBC Radio news commentator. He published books on rugby in 1926 and 1930. He was Joint Principal of Marcy's, in Chancery Lane, from 1931 to 1933, then Headmaster of Beaminster Grammar School for two years.

He was Director for Community Relations at the Florists Telegraph Delivery Association from 1957 to 1964.

In his The Theory of Modern Rugby (1930), Stuart complains that the English invented most of the world's games, but lack the ability to win at them. He concluded that "the spirit of the game is the prize".

Stuart married Barbara Millar, of Weybridge, Surrey, and they had one son and two daughters.

title: A Valley Without Wind

text:
A Valley Without Wind is an indie and action-adventure video game developed by Arcen Games. The game was released on April 24, 2012 for the operating systems Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X on Steam. Players play as a random survivor in an unforgiving world that is shaped by the choices the player makes. The setting of the game is a post-ice-age world in the distant future. On February 18, 2013, a sequel to A Valley Without Wind was released called A Valley Without Wind 2.

Gameplay
A Valley Without Wind is 2-D sidescroller that lets players explore a vast procedurally generated world. Unlike other procedurally generated games the difficulty has a logical progression and there are a checklist and tips to assist the player. The main goal is to defeat the Overlord and save the continent. The player can choose how they want to prepare for the Overlord. They can do missions to gain new spells and roam the environment to find secret missions and stashes of magical crafting loot. The player can customize their character with different enchants and spells to fit their play style. Also the player can rescue people and make them part of the player's settlement, which allows the player to send them on dispatch missions. Once the player saves a continent from the Overlord a new bigger continent appears. The game adapts to how the player plays, such as the monsters and missions upgrading accordingly to the user's proficiencies. Death of a character in this game is permanent, but all of the inventory, enchants, and general progress are saved.

Reception

A Valley Without Wind received mixed reviews. On IGN it received a 5.5 out of 10 and was called "mediocre". Leif Johnson, a reviewer from IGN, states, "The appeal of its randomly generated settings wears off quickly, the procedural level generation voids much sense of having an impact on the world, and the absence of any kind of compelling story or brilliantly designed levels eventually renders exploration a slog". However, Johnson praised the sheer number of spells and customizations the user has. Tom McShea, a reviewer at GameSpot, had similar complaints about the map design. He called the map design confusing and poorly designed, which made it easy to get lost.

title: Bob Beattie (skiing)

text:
Robert Prime Beattie (January 24, 1933 – April 1, 2018) was an American skiing coach, skiing promoter and commentator for ABC Sports and ESPN.  He was head coach of the U.S. Ski Team from 1961 to 1969 and co-founded the Alpine Skiing World Cup in 1966.  His work as a ski-racing commentator for ABC included four Winter Olympic Games, from 1976 through 1988.

Early life
Beattie was born in Manchester, New Hampshire, on January 24, 1933, to Robert Archibald Beattie (1904–1975), a sales manager for a roofing company, and Katherine Simpson (née Prime; 1906–1995), a homemaker. He had a younger brother, John M. He graduated from Manchester Central High School in 1950. He attended Middlebury College in Vermont, where he participated in several sports, including football, tennis, cross country, and skiing. After graduating in 1955 with a degree in education, he remained at Middlebury as an assistant coach.

Coaching career
In 1956, Beattie was named acting coach of the school's ski team after coach Bobo Sheehan left to coach the alpine skiers on the 1956 U.S. Olympic Team. In 1957, Beattie became the head skiing coach for the University of Colorado in Boulder, and during his tenure the team won the NCAA national titles in 1959 and 1960.  In 1961, the U.S. Ski Association named Beattie the U.S. Ski Team's head alpine coach. He continued to work concurrently for the university until 1965.

During his coaching years, Beattie was known as a demanding coach, driving his athletes hard.  At the 1964 Winter Olympics in Austria, the Beattie-coached U.S. team won two medals, both in the men's slalom: a silver earned by Billy Kidd and a bronze by Jimmie Heuga.  They were the country's first-ever Olympic medals in men's skiing.  During the 1968 Winter Olympics in France, the U.S. Ski Team won no medals, and Beattie was criticized for his tough coaching style.  He stepped down as the U.S. Ski Team's coach in April 1969.

Promotion and commentating
In 1966, Beattie co-founded the World Cup for alpine skiing. After stepping down as U.S. team coach in 1969, he founded the World Pro Ski Tour in 1970 and worked in promoting it, and became a NASTAR commissioner in 1970. ABC Sports hired him as a ski-racing commentator, where he was frequently paired with Frank Gifford, a former NFL running back.  Beattie's television work included alpine commentary during ABC's coverage of four Winter Olympics in 1976, 1980, 1984, and 1988, and also covered volleyball at the 1984 Summer Olympics. He later worked as ABC's winter sports correspondent, which also involved non-alpine sports, and occasionally worked as an announcer for non-winter sports on ABC's Wide World of Sports program.

Beattie continued to manage the World Pro Ski Tour until 1982, and started hosting ESPN skiing programs in 1985.

He authored or co-authored three books, including My Ten Secrets of Skiing (Viking Press, NY; 1968) and Bob Beattie's Learn to Ski (Bantam Books, 1967).

He also played the announcer for the arm wrestling championship in the 1987 movie Over the Top.

Honors
Beattie was given the AT&T Skiing Award in 1983.  He was inducted into the National Ski Hall of Fame in 1984.  He was inducted into the Colorado Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame in 1986.  He was the 1997 recipient of the International Ski Federation's Journalist Award.

Personal life
Beattie had two children, Zeno and Susan, from his first marriage to Ann Dwinnell. His second marriage was to Olympic skier Kiki Cutter and lasted from 1971 to 1973. He married a third time in 1980, to Cheryl Britton, a manager of a local secondhand clothing store, and that marriage lasted until 1987. He was married to Marci Rose Beattie (née Cohen) until his death in 2018.

Beattie died on April 1, 2018, in Fruita, Colorado, from a long illness at the age of 85.

title: Malice (series)

text:
Malice is a two-book young adult series that was written by British author Chris Wooding and illustrated by Dan Chernett. The first book, Malice, was released on October 1, 2009, and the second work, Havoc, was released in October of the following year.

After the release of the first book Wooding announced that there was interest in a film adaptation of the series and in January 2010, announced that a first draft of the script had been written. In the comments section on his website during 2012 Wooding later remarked that there was no progress on the film and the movie was considered to be "dead in the water".

Synopsis
The book begins with Luke and Heather at Luke's house with Luke trying to summon Tall Jake, a creature from another world called Malice. When Luke succeeds in summoning Tall Jake, his friends Seth and Kady go looking for him. Discovering the comic entitled Malice, an idea forms in Seth and Kady's minds: Malice is real. After some thought, Seth decides that the only way to find out the truth is to go into Malice itself. When Kady finds out that Seth went to Malice, she decides to do some investigating and finds out that she has been to Malice herself and that her mom, a professional hypnotist, hypnotized her with fake memories of being in San Francisco. She then goes to Malice and finds Seth and his newfound friend Justin.

Bibliography

Havoc (2010)

Reception
Critical reception for the series has been mostly positive. Publishers Weekly and School Librarian have both praised the series, with Publishers Weekly praising the first book for its "interspersed sections where comic book panels replace textual narrative (as well as the three-dimensional cover)", which they felt made it "a memorable multimedia experience". Kirkus Reviews gave a mixed review for Malice, but was more positive in their review for Havoc, calling it "A real crowd pleaser, with further episodes possible but not necessary."
