Because in the following promo from Adult Swim for this Sunday's season four finale, it looks like that's exactly what we're getting Considering the waves of bad parenting and passive-aggressiveness on display last week coupled with what you're about to see below, we're honestly not sure how anything's going to end up by the time[...]

It's hard to believe that it's been six months and seven episodes, but we've actually come to the penultimate episode of the fourth season of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty Aside from that being a mouthful to say, it's hard to believe that we've gotten to this point already So with that in mind, this[...]

But we actually get to take a break from the "regularly-scheduled broadcast already in session" for a Rick and Morty-themed visit to NBC's Late Show with Seth Meyers.

Speaking of "mutual parasitic relationships", Adult Swim's Rick and Morty is doing something this season that wasn't quite there to this extent in the previous three: a thematic series of episodes Probably the best way to explain it is that while other shows are concerned about storylines between characters and keeping canon, Dan Harmon and[...]

Now, the clip below offers viewers a little backstory on what leads up to said jump into a said vat of acid: another shady deal on Rick's part that involves some form of intergalactic organized crime, a double-cross, and that vat of acid they're jumping into looking mysteriously like portal juice: Rick and Morty get double-crossed,[...]

Those are too easy. Glorzo is Peace in Rick and Morty, courtesy of Adult Swim. We're talking about all of those times when we got so caught up in what Rick and Morty were doing that we lost track of the folks in the background getting killed off in numbers we are way more comfortable with than[...]

A little something to pause and think about as you're folding your "wubba lubba dub dub" shirt, and at no extra cost? We also get an episode that can be seen as an allegory to the U.S's foreign policy over past decades, and how we treated those who don't fit the "Murica" mold (so start[...]

In our review earlier this week, we spoke about how the episode felt like a creative primal scream (you can check out the link to our review below), a layered attack on our senses and perceptions of the series that left us questioning things even after 3-1/2 seasons, but also with a better appreciation of[...]
