How would you describe it, Judge?
A man who sits around watching movies all daytheseSleepless in Seattle Hobbitmovies?
Is that a winner?
Its better than killing people at a music festival.
It was a controversial idea that people still look at with mixed opinions.
Adult Swims On CinemaUniverse takes this idea to create one of the craziest long games of all time.
Thats how ambitious the connected world ofOn Cinemahas become.
Cut to nine seasons later andOn Cinemaremains a movie review show, but its steadily gone off course.
Somehow over the course of these nine seasons the show has created one of the richest universes ever conceived.
The Adult Swim showDeckeris a joke fromOn Cinemathats come to life.
Much ofDeckersgags and characters dont even make sense unless youre aware of the heavyOn Cinemabaggagethat accompanies it.
A lot of the testimony from the Electric Sun 20 Trial turns into a whos who ofOn Cinemaguest stars.
Not really, but really.
They want to feel like an average day in a courtroom and they absolutely succeed on that front.
Everything feels beyond natural.
Tim and Gregg assemble people that merely do their jobs while theyre in these roles.
These arent actors who are making choices.
The fact that Tim and company inject absurdity into it all is the perfect twist.
The casts professionalism acts as a brilliant foil to all of the actual comedy that goes on.
However, Tims witnesses are barely even support systems.
They offer nothing of actual substance in regards to testimony of character.
Theyre all so clearly coached and bribed.
Through all of this, the trial pulls shocking pieces of evidence fromOn Cinemasextended history.
It even uses one of actor Mark Prokschstweetsas evidence and documentation of Tims history of abuse.
A long-established song, M.T.
Bottle gets revealed as a piece of music that Tim has actually stolen and plagiarized the melody from.
What a gamble of this magnitude confirms is that Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington are tired of traditional programming.
The jury is yet to reach a verdict, but it doesnt look good for Timothy Richard Heidecker.
Just dont expect to get straight movie reviews.
Movies are the least important part of this show now and thats become the series greatest asset.
As the lyrics of Dekkars #1 single M.T.
Bottle say, Im like an empty bottle, drained of everything left in my mind.
Checking out life on the dark side, riding down the road til the end of time.
