The eighth episode of On Cinema at the Cinema's sixteenth season, also the fourth episode of On Cinema at the Cinema at the Manor, premiered on HEI Network on November 19, 2025.

Host New Heidecker forgoes the usual introduction of himself and guest Gregg Turkington to announce that his adopted father G. Amato passed away the day prior. New calls the situation “raw”, and notes that the morning he died, G. appeared to have opened and ate a long expired can of cream of shrimp soup that was used as a prop for the ma_and_pa movies and was previously loaned to Gregg.

Only one film, Wicked: For Good, gets reviewed, with Gregg expressing disappointment at Dorothy and Toto still being absent, but gives the film 5 bags of popcorn for being enjoyable. New did not see the film, with Gregg telling him not to wait until the last minute, but matches Gregg's rating.

As announced the episode prior, Mark Probst ends the episode with ”magicmark”, performing his impression of wcfields, threestooges, and Mae West with puppetry, though New cuts off the performance early as he felt Mark was just “making this shit up”. Gregg prepares to present to the Grand Terrace Manor the film The First Time (2012, 95 mins.), though then walks out with Mark in frustration after New states this will be the last movie night at the manor due to some rescheduling.

Wicked: For Good (2025, 137 mins.)
New: 5 bags of popcorn
Gregg: 5 bags of popcorn

TBD

• The ending of the episode fades to a silent in memoriam card in tribute to G. Amato.
• Gregg's wardrobe in this episode consists of a gray hat with a taped on logo for Daredevil (2003, 103 mins.) and a lime green shirt with a taped on logo for Murphy's Romance (1985, 107 mins.).
• Gregg's movie night pick of The First Time is from 2012, which implies heavily that the film has been bootlegged by Gregg using his DVD to VHS conversion process.

• HEI Network (video, subscription required)
