Fuck you.
- T. Amato, to Axiom after insinuating he is the devil in "Ride with the Devil"
An emergency episode of On Cinema On Demand was release a day earlier than usual, on January 30, 2024, following the shocking announcement from T.'s former band, Dekkar, two days prior.
Synopsis
Rough draft synopsis
T schedules an emergency taping to discuss the Dekkar news, and shows part of the announcement video. T accuses Manuel of lying when they wish him well, and states he is fed up. LaRue agrees. T says if they returned his calls and checked his evidence as clearly shown in Case Closed they’d know he was innocent. T states there is no Dekkar without him and that Corwin has seemingly betrayed him worse than Axiom and Manuel did. He called their new song terrible and stated that he had called the band 15 times that day alone.
T. States the song is a personal attack on him and that it sounds like the crap you hear at the mall these days. T says “fuck you” to Axiom over calling him the devil in the song. Gregg says the song wasn’t that bad, T tells him to shut up and stop chewing his popcorn. T scolds LaRue for not investigating them further, though LaRue promises he’ll get to the bottom of this shit.
T states that Axioma nd Manuel are Italian, not Italian-American, and wonder if they’re even allowed to be in the country. T also tells LaRue to see who Toni had been talking to with the DA
Argyle: Gregg thinks the movie was pretty cool, comparing it to For Your Eyes Only, but suitable for the entire family. 5 bags of popcorn, 1 bag of catnip. T shows LaRue the music video again while Gregg is reviewing the movie. Joey’s Take is done live as there was no time to pre-record the video. He thought it was a good movie, though he thought it got so complicated and tricky, T thinks it could be an early sign for DRCS. 3 stars.
The Promised Land: Gregg and Joey haven’t seen it yet.
No Encore, despite the on-screen plug at the end.
