Looks like Tim is joining The Onion / new Infowars family
For those who don’t know, The Onion bought Alex Jones’ Infowars at auction in late 2024. There was issues in court that lasted awhile, yada yada yada, but they announced today they’re finally launching the Onion-branded Infowars.
In the teaser clip, Tim’s Rogan parody is heavily featured.
Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion, was in the control room for an OHL episode several months ago. Must have been there as part of whatever he and T are cooking up for this.
Whatever it is, looking forward to it!
UPDATE! Confirmed: Tim is Creative Director for the new Infowars venture. Very exciting!

Met Manuel on Saturday!
Wanted to share my experience because he was SO incredibly nice.
My fiance and I went to the LA On Cinema show on Friday and decided to stop by Manuel's restaurant (Casa 12) on Saturday morning for lunch since we were going to be in Venice Beach either way. We weren't expecting to see him or anything, just wanted to support his restaurant.
He ended up being there and we were able to say hi and let him know that we had a great time at the show the night before. He was SO stoked to talk to us and even bought us a round of drinks! He also sang some of Empty Bottle to us :p
He also talked to us for a quite a while, even was telling us about how Axiom's family flew in from Italy for the show and were so confused the entire time since they don't speak any English bahahah
He also let us know that him and Axiom play live music there on Sunday evenings so if anyone's in the area go support our Dekkar boys at Casa 12 in Venice Beach! We had to drive back to AZ (not Lake Hasavu unfortunately) so we missed out on it but I wanted to let the sub know that you can go support our beautiful Italian boys

Now that the tour’s over - favorite Q&A tidbits?
At my show we learned that most of the VHS tapes seen on the show came from one person’s collection that the show purchased. Also that Dootle Dots was inspired by BFDI - Gregg remembered being present the first time Tim drew one. I’m sure I’ve already forgotten some good moments. (The VIP experience was extraordinary, thanks to all involved!)
Any favorite tidbits or anecdotes other VIPs remember?

Decker brand tools powered by pure lithium.
I drove my Dodge Charger to the store to pick this bad boy up. A nice tip of the hat to the greatest movie buff around.
Idk who "Black" is though...

Help, what is the episode where Gregg is “Xposed” for working at AMC?
By the way, AMC theaters and AMC network are the same company so LaRue was wrong anyway

The extended cast's relationship to the show
We talk a lot about Tim and Gregg's toxic parasitic relationship with each other -- their inability to leave the other alone, their codependence on each other for platforms, "expertise", etc. -- but something I also think is hilarious is the fact that many of the other characters in the show seem hopelessly drawn into their orbit too. Sometimes they leave, but many of them come back even after being egregiously abused and bearing witness to the worst of Tim and Gregg's narcissism and sociopathy. They just keep showing up, almost as if they buy into T&G's delusions of grandeur.
You would think Joe, Mark, Axiom, Manuel, Toni, Hank from Chaplin's Chili and even the late G Amato would have better things to do than stand around on the set of this cursed movie review show/vanity project year after year, but they are clearly drawn to it like moths to a flame. I think they are all secretly (or not so secretly, depending) hungry for the limelight and relish the opportunity the show gives them to sort of be public figures and communicate with an audience, much like Gregg. Thus they're able to overlook a lot of the abuse and the chaotic atmosphere. They take this incompetently run show far more seriously than any logical person would.
It's one of my favorite things about the universe; not just that the two hosts have such an unhealthy dynamic, but that there's an entire toxic inner circle of people, like a cult, whose members have occasional lapses of reason and branch off -- but usually end up bouncing back to be abused more.

I Caught The Wig (Los Angeles)
"Me Me, I'm A New Man."
I was lucky enough to be close enough (and tall enough) to have caught New's wig at the very end of last night's show, and I am hoping someone has video of it (please DM me if you do!).
Some folks outside the Wilshire Ebell asked to hold it after the show, and we all thought it is heavy enough (and high quality enough) to be real human hair (lmao). Holding it up over my head felt like I was holding a scalp, it is thick. Does anyone know any details about this wig? Was this the one used for the Oscar special, too? And the whole tour? I would love to get this "authenticated" or whatever, if you know that world hmu
Regardless, I can't believe I got this piece of history, I was so heartbroken I didn't get a True Blue Certified Film Buff ribbon (I did see E.T. twice, though!), but I'll take New's wig over pretty much anything in my collection (save maybe Decker vs. Dracula still in the plastic).
•••
I can't really put into words the immense joy that this show, this world, this community brings me. There is nothing like it, and I don't think there ever will be. To those in the know, this surreal alternate reality is the best escapism, satire, and storytelling project ever conceived. The layers of inside jokes, the people — THE PEOPLE !!! — the music, the concepts, the tech hiccups, the anger, I could go on but, man, this shit is the best.
To get the show alone was worth every penny, but to walk in and immediately encounter Vic Berger IV? To see Eddie Alfano (Joey P) hanging next to Big Bird? Then to see Bob Odenkirk chatting up Jack Black in the aisle as I walked to my seat? Then Joe Estevez getting a standing ovation pre-show as he entered, where I saw John C. Reilly stand for the man out of respect for the work & legend he is? Fucking incredibly special, these people are my lifelong heroes (not to mention Tim & Gregg). It was comedy church last night, holy shit.
The show itself was a mf KNOCKOUT. I think I laughed the entire night, my face hurt, my core was sore, and my eyes wet from the constant barrage of hits & bits last night. They went so fucking hard, I was not prepared for many of the surprises (which I will not mention directly, as I hear the special is coming to HEI!), but what a series of fucking treats. The best.
After the show ends & Tim comes back onstage (out of character/kayfabe) and you can tell he really loves his crew and friends and fellow buffs, brings them all out (including Eric Notarni-fucking-cola! Hell yes, legend!), in a heartfelt celebration, at the end of which he whips his fucking wig right the fuck at me?! Time went into slow-mo, like I had been training for this moment my whole life. I still can't believe it hit my hand, I mean get the fuck outta here, man! I almost started crying :,)
I turned to leave and Tim's family is a few rows behind me, which was so sweet to see. I was was tempted to thank his wife for all she does to let Tim do all he does, but I didn't want to bug her (but if you're reading this, Marilyn, you're an angel & we're so lucky you share him with us)!
As I shuffled out into the night, I ran into G. Amato's twin and got a selfie, in-wig, the blur of that image captures the joy in my heart. And also shoutout to my brother, who got me this sick ass E.T. shirt years ago (who knew it would feature so heavily in Gregg's segments!?), call it kismet, synchomysticism, or whatever you want, it made everything funnier for me.
It was a Six Bag night fr. I love this world they built for us, the joy we share in, the energy & connectivity & the magic. I love you all. Thank you for supporting this work. Let it be movie time forever, and Long Live On Cinema At The Cinema.
