Cheap plug alert! Before we pass along the latest look at tonight's Season 7 finale of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty, we have an interview that was posted last night where EP Steve Levy, Sarah Chalke (Beth Smith/Space Beth), Chris Parnell (Jerry Smith), and Harry Belden (Morty Smith) offer some interesting insights into the series,[...]

This weekend brings the seventh season finale of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty – and if you've been following our coverage this week, then you know that we have some serious questions about what we know so far (more on that in a minute) And speaking of questions, we also had the opportunity to touch[...]

This is is, folks! After this weekend, Adult Swim's Rick and Morty nestles in for its (hopefully not too) long winter's nap – but it's not done quite yet As we saw from the promo for S07E10: "Fear No Mort," our dimension-hopping duo find themselves becoming a bit jaded when it comes to their adventuring –[...]

Because anytime a Rod Serling-like figure enters the scene talking about fear & scary stuff, I'm going to start thinking more Night Gallery and less The Twilight Zone – and that's not a good thing for either of them.

Yup, we've reached the penultimate episode of the seventh season of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty Maybe we're still caught up in all of the canon that's been served up to us this season, but we can't shake this feeling that the brain-punches aren't quite over yet – especially when you have a season finale[...]

Either that or we're totally misreading the brief clip from Adult Swim's Rick and Morty S07E09: "Mort: Ragnarick" that was released earlier today Following up on the cold open, it appears that Norway presents our dimension-hopping duo with the best way for Rick to make it into Valhalla But it doesn't take long for him[...]

While promoting her latest work in Screen Media's murder mystery comedy Helen's Dead, the actress spoke to Bleeding Cool about her time as Nurse Beth on the Adult Swim comedy Childrens Hospital, a parody of the medical dramas and its Netflix spinoff Medical Police, how close-knit the cast still is, and current side projects While[...]

It's hard to believe that we're down to the final episodes of the seventh season of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty Unfortunately, that's the case – though we have a feeling that there's a lot more coming our way before the Emmy Award-winning animated series runs the end credits on the season finale That brings[...]

The space saga began back in the second season with "Get Schwifty!" and then stormed its way into this past weekend's episode of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty, S07E08: "Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie." Now, we're getting a chance to hear how the Ice-T-starring (yup, no Dan Harmon this time) episode built upon the[...]

After seven intensely excellent episodes this season, we had a feeling that we might be getting something that was big, bold & summer blockbuster-like with this weekend's episode of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty, S07E08: "Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie." As we learned from the end credits to S02E05: "Get Schwifty" and the cold[...]

Well, as far as episodes go, Adult Swim's Rick and Morty S07E08: "Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie" is taking the top honors this season for the most previews We've had two episode promos, a sneak preview from none other than iconic rapper/actor Ice-T – and now, a new scene from earlier today[...]

When we last left Ice-T, he helped save Earth from losing a very deadly song competition in Adult Swim's Rick and Morty S02E05: "Get Schwifty" before heading home to Alphabetrium to have his exile lifted and his status was Water-T reinstated before a reconciliation with his father But that would be short-lived, with a surprise[...]

But before we get to that, a quick opinion on what Adult Swim's Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon, showrunner Scott Marder, executive producer James Siciliano, and writers Albro Lundy & Alex Song-Xia had to share about S07E07: "Wet Kuat Amortican Summer." Maybe we just got a bad read on what you're about to see, but[...]

The writing team behind Adult Swim's Rick and Morty continues proving why the series is already a multi-Emmy Award winner after only six seasons One of the ways they've done that is by evolving our dimension-hopping duo, Beth, Jerry, Summer & Space Beth, in ways that work both for the individual characters and their respective[...]

Regarding Adult Swim's Rick and Morty, we haven't exactly been lacking in theories – theories that have ranged wildly from spot-on to "WTF?" – and that was before the Emmy Award-winning animated series decided to dial up the canon to a "Spinal Tap"-loving 11 and break off the dial Thanks to showrunner Scott Marder and[...]

Based on the cold open to Adult Swim's Rick and Morty S07E07: "Wet Kuat Amortican Summer," it looks like Morty & Summer are getting some quality sibling time together this week – we're just not sure if that's a good thing or not Meanwhile, after the past two weeks, Rick is taking an "emotional cheat day"[...]

Did you really think our dimension-hopping duo would be taking the holiday weekend off? That's right, Adult Swim's Rick and Morty returns this weekend with S07E07: "Wet Kuat Amortican Summer" – with Summer getting a chance to grab some spotlight And we finally get to see firsthand what Summer alluded to previously – she does Rick's[...]

As product deals & marketing crossovers go, Adult Swim's Rick and Morty has done a pretty great job of staying on the right side of the line that divides expanding the franchise and selling out – whether it's Wendy's, Fortnite, or other past deals That said, the dimension-hopping duo's appearance on 2021's Space Jam: A[...]

And finally, the duo discusses the online critics and if they've been following what's happening on social media. Image: Adult Swim Screencap Cardoni & Belden Didn't Hesitate When News Hit That Justin Roiland Was Being Replaced: Belden: "'I got to jump on this.' I emailed my agent and said, 'If you got any requests for this 'Rick and[...]

After an episode that saw Rick Prime beaten to death, a fleshing out of Evil Morty's backstory, and the revelation that Diane's death was infinitely more tragic than we first thought, Adult Swim's Rick and Morty S07E06: "Rickfending Your Mort" had a really tough act to follow Oh, and did we mention that Evil Morty[...]

Heading into tonight's episode of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty, we know that Rick is still reeling from the fallout from the last episode – and understandably so. Rick Prime has shuffled off the animated series' mortal coil Evil Morty is in possession of an ultimate weapon that can literally erase folks from all of existence[...]

Buy that doesn't mean you have to wait that long to see ATHF in action, thanks to a current marketing partnership between Adult Swim and Pop-Tarts that also included a crossover with Robot Chicken But Strawberry Frosted, Brown Sugar Cinnamon & Hot Fudge Sundae are having a slightly more disturbing encounter this go-around… Image: Adult Swim[...]

If you're Rick Sanchez, and you're faced with being able to write your own story moving forward – what do you do? Apparently, get s**t-faced drunk in your garage, based on the cold open to Adult Swim's Rick and Morty S07E06: "Rickfending Your Mort." Thankfully, Morty has been stockpiling "Morty Adventure Cards," and he plans[...]

Adult Swim's Rick and Morty S07E05: "Unmortricken" is definitely the best episode of an already-impressive seventh season – and could end up being one of the best episodes of the Emmy Award-winning series' run By the time the credits rolled, Rick brutally eliminated his Rick Prime problem (imagine if there was a switch?), Evil Morty[...]

About two seconds into Adult Swim's Rick and Morty S07E05: "Unmortricken," it became pretty clear why the Emmy Award-winning animated series didn't release the cold open – or pretty much anything else By the time the dust settled on the episode, Rick put down Rick Prime, Evil Morty became even more dangerous, and we learned that[...]

The episode of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty reportedly so overflowing with spoilers that Cartoon Network's ever-expanding late-night programming block barely showed us anything in the promo for S07E05: "Unmortricken." Forget about a cold open – that didn't happen, either In fact, we were told that press screeners wouldn't be in play this week either[...]

What do we know about Adult Swim's Rick and Morty S07E05: "Unmortricken"? Not a whole helluva lot other than the very brief promo that aired after last week's episode, making sure we knew upfront that there were a ton of spoilers in this weekend's adventure, so we shouldn't be expecting to see a whole lot ahead[...]

For this go-around, Quaid shared his appreciation for how Adult Swim's My Adventures with Superman was received and how it's "an absolute dream" to be voicing The Man of Steel But at the end, he dropped an update that was definitely good news about the show's future: "We have already have a season 2 in[...]

Well, no one can say that Adult Swim's Rick and Morty is trying to hide the fact that this weekend's going to be a huge, spoiler-filled, canon-busting episode – but just how big could S07E05: "Unmortricken" end up being? The aired promo admitted right up front that there wouldn't be much to see of the episode[...]

It was the complexity of life." Adult Swim's Rick and Morty has been having a strong seventh season – but the animated series blasted back into Emmys territory with S07E04: "That's Amorte." An episode that spent most of its time being a darkly satirical take on capitalism, insatiable consumer appetites, and spaghetti took an emotional[...]
