Kicking off last August with Dexter's Laboratory, Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, and Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, Cartoon Network & Adult Swim's "Checkered Past" is a two-hour mini-block (weekdays starting at 5 pm ET) that takes viewers on a trip down animation memory lane And guess what? The lineup of[...]

That's the best one-word description we can give for Adult Swim & Director Sunghoo Park's (God of High School, Jujutsu Kaisen) Ninja Kamui All "Joe Logan" wanted was a quiet family life with his wife & son, and that's exactly what he was enjoying – until some vengeance-seeking ninjas brought it all to a bloody[...]

With everything going on in and around Super Bowl LVIII, we didn't want the Adult Swim series to get lost in the pop culture madness that's about to get unleashed With still a little more than two weeks to go, we are getting a sneak preview of what's to come – and it's a disturbing[...]

With the animated series set to debut this weekend, Adult Swim has released the official trailer in Japanese – with English subtitles – that makes the case for adding the series to your must-watch list It also serves as a reminder that the 3 am airing of each episode will be in Japanese with English[...]

Last month, Adult Swim released the official trailer for director Sunghoo Park's (God of High School, Jujutsu Kaisen) Ninja Kamui – set to hit screens on Saturday, February 10th, at midnight ET/PT In the animated epic, a former ninja clan member swears vengeance upon a mysterious shadow organization that killed his wife and son –[...]

Here's the thing about Adult Swim We've loved Cartoon Network's late-night programming block long before it took over half of the network's programming day – and that's without it losing its edge If you're looking for a place for some fascinating, experimental animation and live-action comedy, drama, satire, and much more, Adult Swim is still[...]

Arguably his most successful foray into episodic television is the Adult Swim medical drama parody series Childrens Hospital playing Dr Owen Maestro, a former New York cop who left the force after 9/11 and becomes a doctor who works with his ex, Dr Lola Spratt (Erinn Hayes) at the same hospital His former partner Briggs[...]

Because it's one of those animated series that needs a little time to world-build and establish the cast – and when it did? Yeah, Royal Crackers joins Rick and Morty and Smiling Friends on our Adult Swim "must watch when it first airs" list That's why we're glad to pass along the news that the[...]

It's been a rollercoaster month for Adult Swim's Rick and Morty – and we're only one month into the new year On the plus side, we've got Rick and Morty: The Anime from Takashi Sano (Tower of God) arriving later this year This month also saw the seventh season officially hit Max – meaning that we[...]

We learned last summer that Cartoon Network & Adult Swim were planning on revealing our "Checkered Past." Kicking off last August, the two-hour mini-block (weekdays starting at 5 pm ET) takes viewers on a trip down animation memory lane for a lineup of edgy CN originals that have had some serious staying power over the[...]

We've got some not-so-great and pretty cool updates to pass along regarding Adult Swim's Rick and Morty When it comes to the former, The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the dimension-hopping duo won't be back for Season 8 until 2025 The reason? The five-month-long WGA strike impacted work on the new episodes But that brings[...]

That was all the backstory we needed to know that the upcoming Adult Swim series should definitely be on our radar But throw in the fact that Ninja Kamui stems from director Sunghoo Park (God of High School, Jujutsu Kaisen), and suddenly our excitement levels have gone "plus ultra." With the series set to be[...]

At the time that we're writing this, we're only a little more than 24 hours away from having more Eric Andre in our lives (though nothing will ever be able to compete with Adult Swim's The Eric Andre Show?) Because on Thursday, January 18th (at midnight ET/PT, the next day on Max), Cartoon Network's ever-expanding late-night programming[...]

Earlier this month, fans of Eric Andre (because who doesn't love Adult Swim's The Eric Andre Show?) got the good news that Cartoon Network's ever-expanding late-night programming block would be screening Eric André Live Near Broadway on Thursday, January 18th (at midnight ET/PT, the next day on Max) The special features André's lo-fi brand of late-night entertainment[...]

Well, you can now add Adult Swim into the mix – with Cartoon Network's ever-expanding late-night programming block introducing us to their "Steamboat Willie" Mickey Mouse – with a not surprisingly not subtle way of letting everyone know that it's "Public Doman bitch." But as we see it, this is just the tip of the[...]

With all due respect to FOX's Bob's Burgers, Netflix's Entergalactic, Adult Swim's Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal, and FOX's The Simpsons, Adult Swim's Rick and Morty S06E04: "Night Family" (directed by Jacob Hair and written by Rob Schrab) deserved the Emmy for Best Animated Series – but it wasn't to be, with The Simpsons' 983rd "Treehouse of[...]

If you're like us, then you appreciate every season of Adult Swim's The Eric Andre Show that we get because… well… Eric Andre rules But with the sixth season now left to the sands of time that we call "2023," what are we to do? No, worries, because Cartoon Network's late-night programming block has you[...]

Okay, the good news? It's officially 2024 – meaning that we no longer have to keep saying that the second season of Michael Cusack (YOLO: Crystal Fantasy) & Zach Hadel's (Hellbenders) Smiling Friends is "arriving next year." The not-so-great news? We hoped we would get a look at the second season, maybe even a release window,[...]

With today being New Year's Day, we're going to be getting a whole lot of folks looking back on 2023 and offering their final thoughts – so why shouldn't the fine folks over at Adult Swim's Rick and Morty? Well, that's exactly what they did – and they only needed the following scene from 2017's S03E06:[...]

Okay, we thought we had extinguished our dumpster fires of random speculation for the year when it came to Adult Swim's Rick and Morty – but then, we rewatched S07E04: "That's Amorte" (directed by Lucas Gray and written by Heather Anne Campbell), and we think we missed two very big moments in the overall Morty/Evil[...]

And then I realized what my issue was with it – and its' the fault of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty So7e04: "That's Amorte." Image: ESPN Screencaps, Adult Swim Screencaps Director Lucas Gray and writer Heather Anne Campbell deserve a ton of credit for creating an episode that sticks with you nearly two months after it aired[...]

If you've been keeping up on our coverage all season of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty, then you know that we consider it to be the best top-to-bottom season of the Emmy Award-winning series' run With the seventh season set to hit Max next month and the creative team in the middle of writing the[...]

But that was two months ago – what does that have to do with the holidays? Adult Swim has a marathon of the first season planned for New Year's Eve – which would be a great opportunity for… something? Personally, we would be thrilled with a teaser and a release month (if not the exact[...]

Yesterday, we shared some thoughts on how the seventh season of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty was the best top-to-bottom season of the Emmy Award-winning animated series' seven-season run Clearly, folks had some opinions on that But what can't be debated is how the series continues to make the post-credits scene something special – in much[...]

When you start off talking about Season 7 of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty by declaring it the best top-to-bottom season of the Emmy Award-winning animated series' seven-season run, you know you're going to get pushback Just to be clear, I'm not talking about those who shit on the season even before it started –[...]

— We Make Cartoons!" panel, it put out into the "pop cultureverse" that Adult Swim was open for more "Venture Bros" and that the ball was back in Publick & Hammer's court That made its way onto social media – where Publick made sure to clarify how things stood from their perspectives "If any word[...]

Adult Swim's Rick and Morty wrapped up its seventh season in a big way this past weekend, requiring a lot of time to process what we saw and what it could mean for Season 8 – and beyond That's why we thought it was a good time to check in to see what series co-creator[...]

Even though we had to say goodbye to Adult Swim's Rick and Morty for another season, we were treated to a look at what's ahead with Rick and Morty: The Anime from Takashi Sano (Tower of God) Stemming from Telecom Animation Film, the 10-episode animated series is set to hit screens in 2024 – and while[...]
