The fifth episode of On Cinema at the Cinema's sixteenth season premiered on HEI Network on October 29, 2025, and drastically revamped the series, moving shooting locations to the Grand Terrace Manor retirement home (also referred to as The Manor), adding a live audience of the home's residents (including host New Heidecker's adopted father, G. Amato), and re-titling the series On Cinema at the Cinema at the Manor.
The episode starts with Barbara Reynolds, an employee at The Manor, introducing the program to the audience. New invites G. Amato out of the audience to guest with Gregg. G. voices his issues with The Manor compared to his previous, more expensive, retirement home that New had moved him out of and talks about Jimmy Stewart. New suggests that Bugonia and Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc both might scare the in-studio audience, while Gregg notes the inclusion of both “Man” and ”– The Movie” in the title of the latter film. While the recorded show ends, Gregg presents the Popcorn Classic Overboard (1987, 112 mins.) to the in-person audience.
