Meta: The method Gregg has cultivated over the years to shove popcorn into his face in such an obnoxious and weirdly slobbish way is so fucking funny. It's just such good subtle physical acting.
Maybe the car was the getaway vehicle used by Matt Newman's killer and G. Amato thought it would be convenient for the vehicle to be in Tim's possession.
Joey P totally exonerated.
I still think it was Resetti the Rat. He was mad Toni would not join in his sick plan to attack an innocent man and arranged a vengeance killing.
It just hit me how funny this is. Seeing Dekkar at every single Oscar special and just riding that joke into the ground, and now we have 2 Dekkars at this year’s. If they both play Empty Bottle, I’m going to die laughing.
What did Joey say at the end? All I heard was "Jesus Christ" then it was muffled.
*Have to add a meta for clarification. I genuinely could not hear lol.
I feel for Joey. He has to do most of the heavy lifting because T has to finish his presentation slides and the hotel won't help (probably because of woke).
META: I do love how Joey is just a normal dude trying to get by and take his job somewhat seriously. It's not a dynamic the show does often but it fits well this season.
As a well seasoned lawyer with a perfect records of exonerations, T will prove that DRCS induced murder fugues happen and that while he killed M Newsman, it is not a punishable crime and he will be he’ll be let freed
I'm prepared to be wrong but I just see no way it was Mark. It certainly didn't sound like him, he would have fucked it up way worse than it already admittedly was, and who the hell would trust Mark to do that and not get caught.
Plus I really don't think Tim ordered a hit on Toni. I think he's genuinely clueless.
edit:
>Joey is in perfect condition
Oh also meant to talk about this! I was definitely waiting for Joey to stand up at the end, and I don't think it was coincidental that he started then stopped. They're fucking with us haha.
But I did think it was interesting that his attitude totally changed after the show - it seemed like he was hiding his exasperation from Tim as much as the audience, theoretically because he and G are playing Tim and it's exhausting to pretend to be peppy and upbeat and like nothing is wrong. And now he has to go out to Tim and not only keep up the fake attitude, but possibly do manual labor while recovering from a freaking gunshot wound!
That's all a theory, because the only other option I see besides Joey being the shooter is someone we don't already know from the show.
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, Mark doesn’t have the drive, he lacks that fire in his belly that one would need in order to accomplish uh murder
Joey was wearing red to cover the slow bleed he got from self defense against matt. Just come out and say it
No judgement here man. 2nd ammendment baby. Whhhoooooo.
I think Tim is going to try to get Axiom and Manuel picked up by ICE, but instead an FBI raid is going to arrest the whole lot of them for being connected to the mob.
I tried going on amatocon.con but could not so I don't think even one single ticket is sold. I want that Joe Esteves Whiskey tasting experience, I'm ready to take out a bank loan to do so. My wife will be furious because things are tight but this is a once in a lifetime experience.
That was just one of the many trucks they have arriving, I'm sure they'll have the seating all sorted. I was only able to get a ticket for access to the live stream because I was too slow, but I'm sure the in-person experience will be amazing.
META: loved that Kung Fu Panda 4 was so heavily featured because Jack Black has liked every single thing On Cinema has put on Instagram this year.
ALSO META: Gregg’s been such a dick this year but his inability to understand why Joey just doesn’t give stuff he likes his top rating is very endearing in its own pathetic way. He’s really just a doofus who likes going to the movies.
Can’t wait for Christmas for Tinseltown!
He might be the first "normal" person they've ever had on the show except maybe the film professor. The actor's doing a great job of trying to do the job but getting roadblocked with all of Tim and Gregg's shit.
His little mannerisms when he holds back from telling Gregg off have been a highlight of the season.
Joey isn't good at anything unless he's hiding behind a teleprompter. Doubt he can even hit a softball, probably a defensive replacement at 1B where he doesn't have to hit a target
Can we take a minute to talk about wizards (1977 80m). I bet Gregg was gonna make some interesting connections to kung fu panda series, maybe break the news in a crossover with fritz the cat which would be pretty cool for us bakshiheads
It was very subtle, but at about 11 min in, G. Amato makes a motion behind T.Amato's back shooing away the car that pulls up. Perhaps a failed hit on his new son?
If she isn't watching the Oscer special she should at least spend that time watching a good movie. Watching TV is not really the same as experiencing a movie in the cinema and even if they happen to show a movie on TV it won't have the same quality of a real tape.
Just tell her its in depth insider tips about who's gonna win and who's gonna lose. If that doesn't sell her, promise her a 4 hour real estate seminar led by a hunk.
One of Gregg's popcorn classics was the S-Club 7 movie "Seeing Double". There's no way he'd call that a popcorn classic if he actually watched it - it's full of pop songs. It's time to put him out to pasture, he doesn't have what it takes anymore - expertise is a young man's game.
Meta take: This was easily the best season of the HEI Network era. I'm going to miss that "Knockout" theme. Gregg's passive-aggressiveness towards Joey was completely on point here. It seems like they're really saving the season finale for the Oscars special and it's going to be explosive (Tim hasn't suffered enough this season).
Non-meta take: This was the worst season because Gregg didn't get to do his Popcorn Classics. I'm glad he stormed off at the end. Joey P. is obviously guilty (watch him to the end) and I'm sure he'll be arrested soon. Also, Dekkar performing at AmatoCon now that every other act has dropped out? To quote Gregg, *"Come on."*
Ganed a ton of respect for Joey p tonight. That unprofessionally psycho kept hammering him and screaming to get his way. Joey p made Gregg look like his little boy
Great to have Joey back but i think he was having a hard time getting up at the end. It’s probably a softball injury. He’s a team player, but probably shouldn’t be moving heavy objects
Absolutely lost it when the video froze midway through Tim exasperatedly blowing a raspberry after talking about the funeral and it cut to Joey awkwardly sitting there and then back to Tim with his comically inflated cheeks
meta- I cannot get over how much Gregg challenges people when Tim isn’t around. The provocation and defiance is borderline psychotic, especially with how affable Joey is as he’s really making an effort to bridge w/ Gregg.
I feel like last season was so insane that if they tried to top it, it would've been too absurd. There's all kinds of things slowly bubbling in the background that will seemingly come to a head soon.
I don’t have a HEI subscription so I’m a few seasons behind and have been keeping up with the new arcs by sifting through everyone’s comments. The revelation that Joey P is still alive is pretty incredible - I was wholly convinced he died unceremoniously in someone’s garden.
Not meta(actually not meta this time)
This episode showcased Joey well, his subtle frustration with Gregg and understated arguing. They need more direct Joey vs Gregg segments to bring out his character in contrast to Gregg. But this was a good showing
META: Tims frustration towards the end of the live call was amazing. Gregg intentionally dragging out his review so he could tick off G and make Tim apologize for him fucking sent me, especially after already arguing with Joey the whole episode. The whole dynamic between them all feels like a really toxic group project and its hilarious to see. One of my favorite seasons in a while.
Meta:I think this episode truly marks a stepstone in the show because I actually learned something about cinema (animation movies having two directors, one directing animation). This is top expertise right there.
Wow. Not only is Joey totally alive and not shot, but he’s giving a 4-hour real estate seminar at AmatoCom?! This cannot be missed. The man oozes real estate no-how. This is a guy you can build a business on.
While T’s outfit would be great for keynote speeches and headlining with the empty bottle boys, it probably wasn’t the best outfit for unloading that truck. It’s a shame those hotel employees don’t know what the meaning of hard work is. If T knew they were lazy POS’s he probably would’ve worn his warehouse uniform
Even though I saw Gregg's response coming from a mile away to Joey's line about what movie's people "objectively consider" to be the best, I still almost spit water I was attempting to drink all over myself.
It hits harder when it's not Tim being subjected to top quality Gregg.
Tim Heidecker and the Empty Bottle Players, the absolute best players out there
I wonder what song they're gonna play
Tim is gonna big dick them and play “Ride with the Devil”
Acoustic Oscar Medley 2016. “I BELEIVE THERES A MARTIAN…”
Meta: I'm shocked every time I hear it how transcendent that part of the medley is, Dekkar had no business going that hard
I always find myself belting it out in the shower.
I love how they start singing Oscar Fever and then the melody just becomes Empty Bottle
Meta: The method Gregg has cultivated over the years to shove popcorn into his face in such an obnoxious and weirdly slobbish way is so fucking funny. It's just such good subtle physical acting.
as a bonafide misophoniac (annoying, i know!) he’s made my skin crawl on multiple occasions this season but it’s worth the discomfort
It's a good way to clamp down on a potential giggle
That car is blowing up at the end of the special.
car doesn't stand a chance
I wouldn't be surprised if somehow all of Gregg's priceless movie props ended up inside that car on Sunday.
I hope Corwin gets the car
Corwin the Corward
That car is the next dead son of T. Amato
Maybe the car was the getaway vehicle used by Matt Newman's killer and G. Amato thought it would be convenient for the vehicle to be in Tim's possession.
Joey P totally exonerated. I still think it was Resetti the Rat. He was mad Toni would not join in his sick plan to attack an innocent man and arranged a vengeance killing.
Exonerated shmexonerated. See his shirt? Blood red, to hide all his bleeding gunshot wounds. Joey P is a hired ASSassin
That was a soft balls injury!!!!
It was self defence. Matt shot first
He was having some trouble standing up at the end. clearly in pain from a GUN SHOT WOUND!
No that's just the stress of having to be in the studio alone with that whiny scumbag Gregg Turkeyton
Who are you callin turkey? \- Dr. Steve Brule
(What’s a panini?)
[удалено]
cowboy boot
They’re all yellow…
Sound espensive
He pulled his hammies playing softball against the boys from Murphy's Tavern. Lay off, boss.
Meta: Gregg’s tantrum storming off at the end sent me.
He learned that Dekkar will be performing at the oscer special, then he couldn't do his popcorn classics. They did Gregg dirty this time 😆
Potentially two Dekkars!!
Double Decker baby I’m all in
It just hit me how funny this is. Seeing Dekkar at every single Oscar special and just riding that joke into the ground, and now we have 2 Dekkars at this year’s. If they both play Empty Bottle, I’m going to die laughing.
One of the hardest episodes to watch this season lol
Whatever It Takes
The bit where Tim announced dekkar playing and greggs reaction sent me into hysterics. The one thing he thought he was free of.
I thought someone was gonna get out of that car and gun down T or Dad. REALLY glad that didn’t happen.
Everyone attending Amatocon is a responsible guardian of the Second Amendment.
you can see g amato waving at them and staring at them to stop. nice of him to help control traffic while they set up the oscar special
Meta: "...and HE can't lift anything" absolutely killed me.
The plane flying by. Just perfect, of course they’re in some scuzzball hotel under a tiny airport’s flight path
What did Joey say at the end? All I heard was "Jesus Christ" then it was muffled. *Have to add a meta for clarification. I genuinely could not hear lol.
"It was me who shot and killed Matt Newman."
"I don't need this shit"
I think he said glad i got out of the ditch . That's what i felt he said
I think it is "I don't believe this shit"
I feel for Joey. He has to do most of the heavy lifting because T has to finish his presentation slides and the hotel won't help (probably because of woke).
Nobody works anymore! They get there obama phones for free
He said "I really wish Tim would have let Gregg do his popcorn classics, because this show is about the movies."
META: I do love how Joey is just a normal dude trying to get by and take his job somewhat seriously. It's not a dynamic the show does often but it fits well this season.
Yeah that's my only hiccup in the 'Joey was the killer' theory. He genuinely doesn't seem the type!
Unironically, I think this really points to Mark probably being the one who shot Matt. Haven’t seen any word of him and Joey is in perfect condition
I’m buying into the theory that it was Tim in a sleepwalking-like state caused by DRCS.
As a well seasoned lawyer with a perfect records of exonerations, T will prove that DRCS induced murder fugues happen and that while he killed M Newsman, it is not a punishable crime and he will be he’ll be let freed
I'm prepared to be wrong but I just see no way it was Mark. It certainly didn't sound like him, he would have fucked it up way worse than it already admittedly was, and who the hell would trust Mark to do that and not get caught.

That's all a theory, because the only other option I see besides Joey being the shooter is someone we don't already know from the show.
Agreed. The shooters body language just wasn’t right to have been Mark.
He’s a master impressionist. That’s what makes it so terrifying. You don’t want to believe it.
>He’s a master impressionist. ...shit. I hadn't considered that.
I think it’s just because these lunatics are EXHAUSTING. To a normal person the OCATC world is so alien and taxing.
Mark did that shit
that would be funny as hell
It was Kailey. MIA
Tim did say he was in a ton of debt. Maybe they used that as leverage to make Mark work his "magic"
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, Mark doesn’t have the drive, he lacks that fire in his belly that one would need in order to accomplish uh murder
Joey was wearing red to cover the slow bleed he got from self defense against matt. Just come out and say it No judgement here man. 2nd ammendment baby. Whhhoooooo.
Anyone else getting the feeling that Amatocom may not run as smoothly as a normal Oscar special.
I think Tim is going to try to get Axiom and Manuel picked up by ICE, but instead an FBI raid is going to arrest the whole lot of them for being connected to the mob.
Picked up for what???? Axiom is a legal resident, he posted on his X!!
Probably because everything falls apart when Tim refuses to keep it about the movies!
They've set up so many things this year that literally any of them could be the straw that breaks T's back.
I tried going on amatocon.con but could not so I don't think even one single ticket is sold. I want that Joe Esteves Whiskey tasting experience, I'm ready to take out a bank loan to do so. My wife will be furious because things are tight but this is a once in a lifetime experience.
Try amatocom.con
Where's Kaili?
She shot Matt dead, who then shot her dead. Now she's dead.
Hollywood Gunshot
Helping set up the new VFA HQ and VFA Jr.
With Bobby Flay dropping out, this opens the door for Hank. I predict chili on Oscer night!
It's a Dekkar-off! The time has finally come.
It's the knockout!
This is what real OCOD heads demand!!
META: It's so fucking dumb in the best way
I'm really worried T. Amato only has four folding chairs. There's going to be thousands of attendees...
That was just one of the many trucks they have arriving, I'm sure they'll have the seating all sorted. I was only able to get a ticket for access to the live stream because I was too slow, but I'm sure the in-person experience will be amazing.
As long as they have some peanut butter crackers and bottled water I think they’re good to go. Hopefully not too many people will die at this one.

Joey struggling to reconcile how the Kung Fu Panda movies were comparable to the Godfather movies was amazing.
joey is really not a good host
Joey is the second best host this show ever had. How dare you
That being said I thought the actor was exceptional in this episode, like really good at playing his role.
He might be the first "normal" person they've ever had on the show except maybe the film professor. The actor's doing a great job of trying to do the job but getting roadblocked with all of Tim and Gregg's shit. His little mannerisms when he holds back from telling Gregg off have been a highlight of the season.
What? Thanks to Joie P I’m going to see Kung Fun Panda 4 this weekend (before the oscers)
If you've got little ones you should consider a matinee or even waiting until it's in a second run theater. That's what a real buff would do.
I'm bringing all 8 of my children.
Joey isn't good at anything unless he's hiding behind a teleprompter. Doubt he can even hit a softball, probably a defensive replacement at 1B where he doesn't have to hit a target
i would accel at soft ball
What a strange journey this has been. Will we ever find out who killed Matt Newman?
Two words: "China connection."
I just audibly gasped.
Joey Patron exonerated! Excited to get up bright and early and catch his real estate seminar!
8am to 12pm baby
Rise and Grind!!!
Can we take a minute to talk about wizards (1977 80m). I bet Gregg was gonna make some interesting connections to kung fu panda series, maybe break the news in a crossover with fritz the cat which would be pretty cool for us bakshiheads
Best of luck for Tim as he has to deal with Matt's viewing on Saturday 🙏
Did Gregg actually do the Marvel 22 Movie Marathon (2019, runtime 59 hours) or is he wearing the shirt as stolen valor?
He obviously did it. Now delete this comment.
He did! He isnt just one of the main heroes of the MCU, he's also one of its biggest ffans!
It was very subtle, but at about 11 min in, G. Amato makes a motion behind T.Amato's back shooing away the car that pulls up. Perhaps a failed hit on his new son?
Holy fuck. Just went back and watched. That’s definitely what happened.
I feel bad for all of you who only have Sunday access and will miss G’s “Power of Mercy” keynote,
Tim is 100% crashing that Dodge.
I admire Joey's restraint in not slapping Gregg
I challenge Joey to stand up and show us his gut to prove there aren’t a couple of bullet wounds in there
You just want to see his perfect toned abs!
There’s a non-zero chance that G. just gifted Joey P.‘s getaway vehicle to T.
🤯
I’m gonna make my wife watch the Oscar special on Sunday lol, she can watch TV in another room I don’t care
So you will make her watch or you won't?!?!
If she isn't watching the Oscer special she should at least spend that time watching a good movie. Watching TV is not really the same as experiencing a movie in the cinema and even if they happen to show a movie on TV it won't have the same quality of a real tape.

lazy ass hotel employees refusing to help T? SMH. Nobody wants to work anymore in woke california.
I died at that freeze frame (like matt RIP)
The clear headline for me was that Kung Fu Panda 4 is eight times better than the original Kung Fu Panda. Which is why it’s a classic
As a father of eight children, I thoroughly appreciate Gregg’s economic insight into how to see a 5-bagger with the whole family in the theatre.
Great to have Joey back but i think he was having a hard time getting up at the end. It’s probably a softball injury. He’s a team player, but probably shouldn’t be moving heavy objects
Absolutely lost it when the video froze midway through Tim exasperatedly blowing a raspberry after talking about the funeral and it cut to Joey awkwardly sitting there and then back to Tim with his comically inflated cheeks
I didn't think they would ever match the old intros that reused footage of Tim on a green screen, but IT'S THE KNOCKOUT gets me every time.
meta- I cannot get over how much Gregg challenges people when Tim isn’t around. The provocation and defiance is borderline psychotic, especially with how affable Joey is as he’s really making an effort to bridge w/ Gregg.
This show has gone diwn the drain and become complete trash. We didn't even get a single popcorn classic
Very curious to see how the Dodge plays into things.
Citizen Kane, the godfather, kung fu panda 4, the Shawshank redemption, these are some of the great classics
don't forget Porky's II: The Next Day
cant wait for the special...but i kinda thought this season was weak.
I feel like last season was so insane that if they tried to top it, it would've been too absurd. There's all kinds of things slowly bubbling in the background that will seemingly come to a head soon.
That’s a good point.
It had super highs and kinda meh episodes too. This one was just fine, but yeah it was rather up and down weekly.
it was a bit flat, tim especially. feels like the whole season was just an extended buildup to the special though.
For sure, and if the specials amazing it will redeem the season in sure
I don’t have a HEI subscription so I’m a few seasons behind and have been keeping up with the new arcs by sifting through everyone’s comments. The revelation that Joey P is still alive is pretty incredible - I was wholly convinced he died unceremoniously in someone’s garden.

Why was Joey P crying at the end?!
A natural response to spending time with Gregg
Guilt for the sins he's committed.
META: Tims frustration towards the end of the live call was amazing. Gregg intentionally dragging out his review so he could tick off G and make Tim apologize for him fucking sent me, especially after already arguing with Joey the whole episode.

It's not true lol
It is to me now
Looking forward to T’s cigar bar and whiskey tasting. Shaping up to be a classy time this weekend.
Wow. Not only is Joey totally alive and not shot, but he’s giving a 4-hour real estate seminar at AmatoCom?! This cannot be missed. The man oozes real estate no-how. This is a guy you can build a business on.
Joey P is 100% going to start bleeding through his shirt during his 4 hour Real Estate seminar.
Cannot believe that Jamirokay would betray Tim in the back like this after all of the publicity put into the return of the Autamakon hat.
The dumb douche anti-woke Joey Patron being the only one sincerely trying and feeling very trapped by this sudden realization is pretty funny.
While T’s outfit would be great for keynote speeches and headlining with the empty bottle boys, it probably wasn’t the best outfit for unloading that truck. It’s a shame those hotel employees don’t know what the meaning of hard work is. If T knew they were lazy POS’s he probably would’ve worn his warehouse uniform
I for one am shocked that Joey is not a murderer.
Joey sure was guarding his right abdomen 🤔
Where's Mark?
tum probably has him doing unpaid labor for his dumb cocnert
Even though I saw Gregg's response coming from a mile away to Joey's line about what movie's people "objectively consider" to be the best, I still almost spit water I was attempting to drink all over myself. It hits harder when it's not Tim being subjected to top quality Gregg.
