Office Hours Live with Tim Heidecker turns a movie question into a Johnny Rotten impression session. Before the voices take over, Patton Oswalt and Heidecker have a useful little watchlist going: films that were dismissed or overlooked when they arrived.
Oswalt offers 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner and John Carpenter's The Thing. Office Space gets a different distinction: "Office Space didn't even get the courtesy of being bashed. It was just ignored." Heidecker adds Step Brothers after a rewatch, then an inserted Rotten clip sends the conversation sideways. He recalls trading impressions with Fred Armisen while making Moonbase 8.
"Patton Oswalt & Tim Heidecker at the Cinema" is the most-watched of the week's six uploads, with about 58,000 views. The comments extend the conversation into an informal film club: viewers nominate The Shining, defend Step Brothers and remember seeing Office Space on opening night. A separate Oswalt clip also drew a substantial audience.
The strongest daily momentum, though, belongs to "Free Wheelin' with Brooks Wheelan (Episode 410)". Heidecker joins remotely from the On Cinema tour in Kansas City, with comedian Brooks Wheelan on hand for bad band names, cruises and a joke about Cunk on Cinema borrowing the show's name. It had reached roughly 24,000 views in its first eight hours.
The channel gained subscribers over the week, and daily viewing is running a little above its usual pace. Among nearby podcast channels, Christiane Amanpour Presents: The Ex Files had a slightly larger weekly view gain, while Louis Theroux's daily viewing is enjoying a stronger-than-usual spell. Office Hours' own week has room for both the film buffs and the deliberately bad band names.
