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[...]

Before we dive into anything else – and no disrespect meant to the episodes that have aired or will air – S07E04: "That's Amorte" should definitely be the episode that Adult Swim's Rick and Morty submits from the season for Emmy consideration But with this week's episode, we're turning up the flames on our dumpster[...]

Here's the thing about Adult Swim's Rick and Morty – there's a lot to truly appreciate creatively about the Emmy Award-winning animated series It has the ability to take a theme, concept, or trope and twist it in a unique way that viewers never see coming In addition, it knows how to take its satire[...]

With only hours to go until the next episode of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty, it's pretty clear from the way that the Smiths are reacting that there's a lot more going on with Rick's irresistible spaghetti with bolognese sauce (uh-oh) than just being a really great recipe Of course, we would love to say that[...]

Heading into this week's episode of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty, we've been bracing ourselves for what's vibing to be a very different episode from the season's previous three Based on the overview for "That's Amorte" and the initial promo, it's clear that the Smiths are way over-the-top obsessed with Rick's irresistible spaghetti with bolognese sauce[...]

A new Master Craft statue is on the way from Beast Kingdom as the misadventures of Rock & Morty come to life once again 

With the seventh season of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty getting better and better with each passing episode (and it started off strong to begin with), we have a couple of updates to pass along First up, some of the creative team behind S07E03: "Air Force Wong" are sharing what the episode has to say about where[...]

So when Adult Swim's Rick and Morty S07E03: "Air Force Wong" presents Rick with the possibility that two very important people in his life – The President & Dr Wong – might develop personal lines of their own, you can just imagine how well he would react to it Because in many ways, that "threat"[...]

Heading into this weekend's episode of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty, we were treated to a look at the cold open for S07E03: "Air Force Wong" that shed some light on what we can expect – though we're not sure even Rick saw this coming In the middle of therapy with Dr Wong, Rick gets a[...]

Earlier this week, we had a chance to check out the promo for Adult Swim's Rick and Morty S07E03: "Air Force Wong," where The President introduced Rick to his "trusted advisors" – with all three being met with equal amounts of disdain from Rick But we didn't get a sense of how Dr Wong might[...]

And it gives you a ton to unpack in less than a minute… Image: Adult Swim Screencap Check out what Adult Swim's Aqua Teen Hunger Force Season 12 has in store beginning next month – followed by a pretty damn funny overview for the five-episode season: "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" is back to make television watchable again and[...]

Not long after the previous season wrapped, we wrote about how the sixth season of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty was a profound one when it came to our dimension-hopping duo, as well as Jerry, Beth, Summer, and Space Beth While we saw glimpses of it here and there over the previous five seasons, Season[...]

As we learned from the cold open, Adult Swim's Rick and Morty S07E02: "The Jerrick Trap," Rick and Jerry get into a heated exchange over Rick's alleged "brain privilege" that ends with two dead bodies, a lot of brain matter splattered around Rick's lab/garage, and some overtime required by Rick's AI to put everything right[...]

After a crazed Season 7 opener that saw a number of familiar faces appear (and Rick realizing that sometimes being a good friend means having to be the "a**hole" sometimes for their friend's own good), we've got the second episode of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty ready to crash land onto our screens this Sunday[...]

By the time the credits rolled on the seventh season opener of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty, the biggest question had been answered Ian Cardoni (WWE WrestleMania narrator) is Rick Sanchez & Harry Belden (Joe Pera Talks With You) is Morty Smith (with their IMDB profiles hyperlinked) – with the voice actors officially replacing Justin[...]
