On The Funny

Our coverage of the Eleventh On Cinema Oscar Special concludes with our examination of the explosive last hour of Amatocon! Tim and Gregg are at their lowest after a series of rejections, revelations and painful beatings. Will the Power of Mercy and the watchful eye of the Big Bird be enough to save our fellas from the clutches of the Amato Group?

We continue our coverage of the 11th On Cinema Oscar Special! Lots of hilarious stuff goes down in the second hour of the special but nothing is as  beautiful and confounding than Gregg's trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

It's Amato-Con! In this episode we cover the first hour of the Eleventh On Cinema Oscar Special featuring Tim's keynote address, Scotch tasting with Joey P and the "all new" 2018 Dodge Charger! 

We've reached the end of another fantasic season of On Cinema and all the pieces are in place for an incredible Oscar Special! In this episode, Joey is filling in as host while Tim single handedly sets up Amato-Con.  

T. Amato finally reveals the mysteries of The Hei Way while Gregg unveils his greatest idea ever VFA Jr: the first day camp that teaches movies!

Toni Newman is back and Terri Parks delivers yet another amazing performance! Matt Newman is in the hospital clinging to life but all Gregg wants to know is what movie Toni was watching when she heard the gunshots.

Joey P is missing while an "accident" at the Newman household casts a pall over the five bag reviews of Madame Web and One Love. Bags are back!

Tim reveals that Gregg has blown the entire budget of Baboon: A Pep Boys Story on suspiciously expensive movie memorabilia! Thankfully we do see some test footage that shows us a glimpse of what could have been the greatest film of all time. 

Emergency episode!! A new Dekkar video drops without Tim's participation and Larue is on the case! Joey's Take goes live and Gregg munches popcorn while finally accepting Dekkar's music as "Not that bad."

Judge Joe Estevez has returned and inadvertently drops some disturbing legal news on Tim! Joey and Gregg have their fist real tiff and dad announces Amato-Con.

Mark Proksch is back and he's started a new venture called Magic Mark Entertainment where you can request impressions of all of his greatest hits! Gregg debuts a new segment called Popcorn Spotlight while Tim wisely remarks that "no one has seen Sully seven times".

G. Amato has arrived and he has big plans for the Pep Boys & Baboon franchises. Gregg and Kaili find common ground as Potterheads and Joey P reminds us, "I.P. is what it's all about!" 

The new OCATC season begins! The show is now called On Cinema On Demand and big changes have arrived. A new co-host & ratings system enrage Gregg while G. Amato's invisible hand adds an omnious tone to the proceedings.

On Cinema is back and so is On The Funny! We have united once again to talk about the Summer Movie Recap, Breach Of Trust and the Our Cinema Movie Birthdays. We will be covering every episode of the upcoming 14th season of OCATC, so stay tuned! 

We've arrived at a good natured impasse on the direction of the show and decided to share our conversation about it. Thanks so much to all our listeners and we'll see you again when On Cinema returns!

We quickly dive back into On Cinema waters to discuss the delightful Animated Adventures of Jack Decker and also discuss the non animated comedic writings of Geoffrey Chaucer and François Rabelais.

Oscar winning film composer Michael Giacchino joins us to talk about composing for comedy and the genius of Laurel & Hardy

We are delighted to have Writer/Director Vera Drew on the show to talk about The People's Joker, directing On Cinema At The Cinema and the transgressive beauty of the films of John Waters!

Legendary writer/director Shane Black joins us to talk about the difficulties of making bitterwsweet comedy and how growing old might be the cruelest joke of all.

We've reached the end of the tale of Job and reflect on what it means that this piece of hilarious satire has remained in the Bible for so long and how we can use it's lessons to move beyond God and start caring for each other.

Our examination of the Book of Job as a work of satire continues! Elihu, the annoying teenager at a cocktail party, shows up and holds forth until God arrives in a whirlwind and throws the greatest temper tantrum the world has ever seen.

This week we continue our comedic dissection of the Book of Job and focus on the three "comforters" who win the grand prize for the worst friends of all time.

For years we have talked about how the Book of Job is a staggering piece of satire and the first work of dark, comedic literature. Join us for the first of our multi episode examination of the greatest comedic character of all time: The Old Testament God.

Screenwriter (and funniest man Jacob has ever had the pleasure of meeting) Ryan Rowe joins us to talk about cleverness in comedy and why Chris considers clever to be the sworn enemy of The Funny.
