I like this better than the NBC theme, I have to admit.

The third episode of the On Cinema podcast is disputed, as there are two separate episodes labelled episode 3 on the On Cinema SoundCloud. The second of the two features host Tim Heidecker and guest Gregg Turkington reviewing Chariots of Fire. It released October 18, 2011, seemingly the same date the other “episode 3” released.
Tim and Gregg are at a busy location, with lots of chatter in the background, celebrating the 20th anniversary of Chariots of Fire. Tim calls the movie a great movie, having won Academy Awards. Gregg loves the music, the acting, the story, and the big bicycle race at the end. Tim asks Gregg if the music from Chariots of Fire is one of the most recognizable pieces of music in film. Gregg considers it the second most recognizable, behind the NBC chimes, though he prefers the Chariots music. Tim thanks Gregg for appearing, and Gregg asks when the episode will be online. Gregg offers Tim some 8×10 stills for Ordinary People, but Tim mentions that they are not talking about that movie. Tim considers Chariots of Fire one of the few films that deserved to win the Oscar.
