First, that this episode of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Adult Swim animated series will be going in some twisted directions if this is what they're showing up upfront Second, is there any way that the President isn't going to be a major factor in all of this? Because he hasn't exactly been the "ball[...]

Here's a look at Schrab's post, now just make sure there's no dust or onions around when you check it out because we don't want people thinking you're crying and feeling emotions and stuff like that, right?   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Rob Schrab (@robschrab) Looking back on "A Rickconvenient Mort", Harmon, Schrab, and[...]

But how exactly did it all come about? In the following clip, Harmon, Rutherford, and Hayes almost appear to be in disbelief that the episode even exists and was allowed to make it to screens- when your episode ends (pre-end credits scene) with an incest baby, you can understand where they're coming from Rick and Morty[...]

Only three episodes in on the fifth season of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty, and the Adult Swim series has already covered thematic stomping grounds like environment & climate change, one's sense of self & personal identity, and… Beth and Jerry developing a pretty decent sex life? And it was sex that[...]

So if you checked out the preview for this weekend's episode of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty, then you have a pretty good idea where Morty's going with that suction machine at Beth's hospital And then we get to the cold open for "Rickdependence Spray" and we realize that we really didn't know where this[...]

But I don't, so that's what I don't mind saying that three episodes in? The fifth season of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty may turn out to be its best yet, with the potential to be like that one album your favorite singer r band has that you can listen to straight[...]

But still, all for the reasons Harmon gives that are factually correct are more than enough reason to tune in (so Rob Schrab did write tonight's episode, right?).   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Dan Harmon (@danharmon) Now here's a look at the cold open for Sunday night's episode of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-KzlmniLE0Video[...]

In today's BCTV Daily Dispatch: Lovecraft Country series creator Misha Green clarifies, Morty goes green (Rick's not happy), and a ton more!

Now, Adult Swim is offering viewers a look behind the scenes at how it all came about.

And then things take a turn, and we find ourselves spiraling down a rabbit hole of decoys, decoys making decoys, decoys disguised as squids, and an "Asimov Cascade" crossed with Highlander adventure that left us pretty minds a bit twisted- but the message of this episode of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty? That came across[...]

But since there's still some time to kill, the fine folks at Adult Swim are offering a video in honor of Spencer Grammer's Summer and all the moments from the past season when she shined See what we did there?
