One of the first shows at our iconic new venue Soho Theatre Walthamstow, experience True Movie Expertise with the award-winning expert opinions of Gregg Turkington, as well as Health and Body Improvements from wellness guru Dr. Newman (Tim) Heidecker.
A comedic cinematic universe, a grand satire of America itself–Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington’s On Cinema has built a dedicated cult following as a sprawling comedic soap opera masquerading as a disastrous movie review show.
Throughout the years, On Cinema has manifested itself through a universe of media. The centerpiece is On Cinema At The Cinema, where two codependent and delusional losers review movies in the style of Siskel and Ebert, but it becomes clear they have more interest in their own conflicting agendas than talking about the movies they may or may not have seen.
‘The On Cinema universe has transcended its humble beginnings, becoming the most ambitious avant-comedy experiment in recent memory’
The full live show is a combination variety show and movie review panel, featuring the usual internal strife, grandstanding, and petty battles that are the hallmark of Heidecker and Turkington’s on-screen On Cinema personas.
The latest season, Season 15, is airing currently on heinetwork.tv
On Cinema was named by SPIN as one of the “30 Great TV Shows That Defined The 2010’s”:
