Tim Heidecker may be busy blowing Alex Jones’ mind with the new Infowars, but he’s got always got ample time for another beloved absurdist project. Reconvening with Gregg Turkington, the pair are launching a brand new nationwide tour of On Cinema at the Cinema later this fall.
“The Certified Five Bags of Popcorn Tour” expands the duo’s spring 2026 run, and furthers the project’s “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.” In addition to the fresh insights you’ve come to expect from On Cinema, these latest performances touch on more recent storylines, including “New (Tim) Amato’s life in Lake Havasu, his Arizona gubernatorial campaign, and the HEI Network’s new family-friendly series Dootle Dots.”
The actual tour spans early to mid-November, and features stops in Salt Lake City, Denver, Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Houston, Austin, and Tucson. Check out the full schedule below. Tickets for each date go on sale today, Thursday, July 9th, at 12 p.m. CDT/1 p.m. EDT via HEI Network.
