On Cinema  On Cinema (also called On Cinema at the Cinema for the video series) is an American comedic film review podcast and web series starring Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington. The duo appear as a pair of hapless movie reviewers (using their own names). 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 2012–13 for its first two seasons, then moving to Adult Swim.com in 2013. "On Cinema at the Cinema" has a 'fictional universe' centered on it, including the podcast, as well as 11 seasons of the video series, a spinoff limited series entitled "The Trial", a spinoff series, "Decker," an "On Cinema Live!" tour, and a film entitled "Mister America". "On Cinema" also features a myriad of guest actors, some of whom play fictionalized versions of themselves, including 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 "GreggHeads" or "TimHeads". Heidecker and Turkington also started "Decker-Con", where they appear in character and interact with fans. 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. Nearly every film that has been discussed or mentioned on "On Cinema" has received a perfect "5 bags of popcorn" rating, regardless of the film's real reception. With the series' growth into an online video series, episodes grew to an average length of ten minutes. Although reviewing films remains a central conceit, the focus of the series quickly shifted from a mockery of amateur podcasting to an extended, improvisational character study of the two podcasters. Heidecker, in character on "On Cinema", frequently uses his time on camera to discuss anything on his character's mind except film, such as his bizarre ailments, personal crises, and right-wing political views, 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".
