Max Eucompco is a retail employee who, as of season 10, worked for Best Buy. He oversaw On Cinema's transition to virtual reality during that season.
History
Tim Heidecker met Max at Best Buy sometime before the events of S10E03. According to Tim, Max introduced him to a host of new gadgets and gizmos, including HDMI cables, universal remotes, and virtual reality headsets. The latter in particular caught Tim's attention, and Max claimed that VR was “the future of entertainment.” Impressed with Max's salesmanship, Tim invited Max on the show, where Tim demoed a VR headset and announced that On Cinema would switch to a VR format.[1]
The fourth, fifth, and sixth episodes of season 10 were shot with three VR cameras, providing viewers with 360-degree views of the set. Max effectively became a one-man production team, rendering the rest of the crew unnecessary.[2]
Tim claimed that the VR format was a "big hit".[3]. However, due to the financial strain of ongoing litigation with the Delgado family in the aftermath of Tim's murder trial, Tim was forced to return the show to a standard format. After S10E06, Tim and Max returned the VR equipment to Best Buy, ending Max's association with the show.[4]
