On Cinema (Podcast)
On Cinema is a movie review podcast and initial entry in the media franchise of the same name, created by Tim Heidecker with frequent guest appearances by Gregg Turkington. It focused on retrospectives of classic movies, with Tim and Gregg giving their thoughts on the legacy of each episode's movie and its impact on the film industry. Eventually, the show was noticed by Thing X, who helped Tim to develop it into a web video series, On Cinema at the Cinema. After the premiere of On Cinema at the Cinema, the podcast eventually stopped producing episodes.
Though many fans find it inessential compared to its more well-known video version, discussions started on the podcast carried over to On Cinema at the Cinema, including topics such as James Bond and Star Trek.
Meta Trivia
- On Cinema was created by Tim out of a desire to mock the podcast industry.
- The first episode was produced while Tim and Gregg were on the set of The Comedy, after Tim proposed the idea between takes.
