List of Decker episodes

“Corn Crisis” is the pilot episode to The Animated Adventures of Jack Decker, a planned animated continuation of the Decker franchise. It originally aired on Adult Swim on July 3, 2020, as part of a four-hour Decker Fourth of July weekend marathon. No director or writing credits are given,¹⁾ though Tim Heidecker is credited for creating this pilot. This is currently the last piece of Decker related media released, and with the On Cinema franchise moving from Adult Swim to HEI Network later in 2020, it will likely stay the last, although a purely coincidental action franchise would later launch on the HEI Network in 2022.

The pilot episode features Tim Heidecker returning as Jack Decker and Joe Estevez returning as Jason Davidson, although whether this is the original Decker and Davidson or the younger Decker Jr. and Davidson Jr. is not specified. Gregg Turkington portrays a new character, trippspencer; who was originally planned to be included in Decker: Mindwipe before being cut, the opening credits stipulate he was included by popular demand. Axiom and Manuel Giusti portray themselves as members of DKR, while LaRue portrays Special Agent Jeremy Coleman. jamesdean appears as the overall antagonist, dracula, with Mark Prokse as his henchman, frankenstein, and bobbyvalli as the episode's antagonist, Rumpelstiltskin.

Write plot summary

When the special was first announced to air on June 26, 2020, Gregg expressed excitement on Twitter,^[1] while Tim expressed confusion.^[2] Tim later stated that he had little to do with the production of this pilot and that he “foolishly” allowed Tripp Spencer to return. He also kept calling the pilot a “bad flop” and a “children's cartoon”, encouraging his fans not to watch and attempting to contact Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, and AT&T to pull the pilot from the schedule. There's more info worth grabbing, like Tim stating he had a 2000 page script. Citations are also needed.

• This is the only animated piece of media in the On Cinema franchise.
  • The art style is similar to that of an 80's/90's action cartoon, like Captain Planet but more American.
• Tim can be heard talking to producers off-mic right before Tripp Spencer is introduced, saying “Is that Gregg's thing? I thought we cut that.”
• Tim can also be heard telling Mark not to improvise off-mic in one scene, when Frankenstein utters the line "My little chickadee".
• At one point, Decker accidentally calls Tripp "Kington".
• When Rumpelstiltskin dies, Bobby Valli can be heard saying “Like that?” after his “Curse you Jack Decker!” take.

• This pilot is currently not available for legal streaming on Adult Swim's website or elsewhere. Unofficial uploads are available on YouTube and Vimeo, however.
• This is the first animated production from Abso Lutely Productions since their debut series, Tom Goes to the Mayor.
• This is the last piece of On Cinema content to be released by Adult Swim, as their online division would be gutted in the following months and the network pivoted away from producing new live-action originals.
• The end credits show a 2019 copyright date, implying this was intended to be released that year.
• Six Point Harness provided the animation production services, while Copernicus Studios did the actual animation.
