While we weren't the biggest fans of the Douglas Olsen-directed and James Siciliano-written sixth episode of Season 5, "Rick & Morty's Thanksploitation Spectacular" (check out our review here), the episode did give Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's dimension-hopping duo another chance to team up with President Curtis (Keith David) so that's never a bad thing at[...]

But because we want to kick things off on a positive note, here are some of the things we liked about the Douglas Olsen-directed and James Siciliano-written sixth episode of Season 5, "Rick & Morty's Thanksploitation Spectacular." First, we're suckers for any adventure that finds Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's dimension-hopping duo working with President Curtis[...]

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[...]

This past Sunday's episode of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Adult Swim series Rick and Morty was an effective exercise in exposing the pain/pleasure irony of the "Hellraiser" films Directed by Kyounghee Lim and written by Anne Lane, "Amortycan Grickfitti" also tackled teen took two distinctly different storylines and wove them into an overall message[...]

So after an adventure involving killer sperm and incest babies, this week's episode of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty finds Summer and Morty working together to make a good impression with transfer student Bruce Chutback, while Rick and Jerry have their weekly "guys night" and Beth is taking care of a horse[...]

As episodes of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty go, writer Rob Schrab and director Juan Meza-León's "A Rickconvenient Mort" was probably one of the biggest emotional gut-punches that the series has ever served up in its near-five season run While there have definitely been episodes and moments that plucked the heartstrings (the ending[...]

Directed by Erica Hayes and written by Nick Rutherford, "Rickdependence Spray" made it four-for-four with the fifth season of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty Without rehashing our review from earlier today (cheap plug alert!), the episode was "a ten-ton, in-your-face, twisted "Afterschool Special" tour de force that didn't hide which hills it[...]

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[...]

If there's one thing we can say about writer Rob Schrab and director Juan Meza-León's episode of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty, it's that "A Rickconvenient Mort" was much more of an emotional gut-punch than we were expecting or had gotten in quite some time In fact, we don't remember a time when[...]

While there were a number of ways to interpret Sunday night's episode of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty (you can check out what we got out of the family's adventure here), one thing is clear Collectively, Rick, Morty, Beth, Jerry, and Summer are starting to become the suburban, interdimensional equivalent to The Manson[...]

For us, "Mort Dinner Rick Andre" was the perfect way to welcome back Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty for a fifth season- and the Harmon-voiced Mr Nimbus had a ton to do with it (you can check out our full review here) Rick's arch-nemesis is also an old friend that knows a lot[...]
