With Adult Swim's Rick and Morty ready to wrap up its fourth season Sunday night, we're getting a sneak preview image of what viewers can expect With a season that feels like it's been building towards something (though we're not sure what), there are a lot of eyeballs out there wondering how things will be[...]

Adult Swim's Rick and Morty is coming to the end of its fourth season, and let's just say we"re a little curious From the promo released earlier this week, we know that Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's animated series has been name-dropping Dr Wong (Susan Sarandon) so we should expect an appearance Or should we? Because[...]

With the fourth season of Rick and Morty ready to shuffle off Adult Swim's programming coil after this Sunday's season finale "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri", we're finishing a little clean-up on our coverage of last week's lesson in horrible parenting and in the importance of practicing safe planetary sex Director Kyounghee Lim, writer[...]

After reading our last Rick and Morty post, you might be tempted to start calling us "prophets" or "all-knowing" We understand, especially after the way we called it when it came to name-dropping Dr Wong (Susan Sarandon) for an appearance Because in the following promo from Adult Swim for this Sunday's season four finale, it[...]

As families go? Rick, Morty, Jerry, Beth, and Summer aren't exactly what you would call the pinnacle of familial love, respect, and appreciation If that wasn't clear enough over the past (almost) four seasons, we were served up another example of that on Sunday night's episode of Rick and Morty, "Childrick of Mort" Putting aside[...]

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[...]

Our review of this past Sunday's episode of Rick and Morty (link below) praised "The Vat of Acid Episode" (directed by Jacob Hair, and written by Jeff Loveness and Albro Lundy) for taking a hard look at our dimension-hopping duo's pseudo-toxic relationship and their near-total lack of appreciation for the damage that results from their[...]

Hard to believe that we're already approaching the fourth season's penultimate episode (more on that below), and with the season finale of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty approaching our thoughts have moved on to the next season How many episodes will there be? Will there be another November/May split like this season? Rick and Morty[...]

Normally, at this point, we would be covering a behind-the-scenes video or the weekly podcast post mortem on the most recent episode of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty Either that, or we would be jumping knee-deep into a sneak preview or two for this Sunday's episode, "Childrick of Mort" But we actually[...]

If you checked out our review of this week's episode of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty (link below) then you know we praised "The Vat of Acid Episode" (directed by Jacob Hair, and written by Jeff Loveness and Albro Lundy) for growing and evolving a number of the season's broader themes From relationship dynamics to[...]

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[...]

After a week's worth of looks behind the scenes at not just the last episode "Promortyus" but also at the overall production, we are back with an official preview of this Sunday's episode of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty From what we've seen and read about "The Vat of Acid Episode", it's[...]

As we get our brains ready for this Sunday's episode of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty,  we're looking back on a week that's given us a ton of great looks on his the series operates behind the scenes The best part is that is hasn't just been the show's co-creators that we've heard[...]

We've reached that point in the week where we begin to transition from discussing last week's episode of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty and into looking at the next one But before we get to shine our bright spotlight on our deadly duo's adventures with acid pits in the appropriately-titled "The Vat[...]

After the midseason opener of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty left our eyes bleeding just a little bit, Sunday's "Promortyus" delivered a simple, direct, and powerful message to the viewers: Rick and Morty (as well as Summer, Beth, and Jerry) might be the most destructive force in all of the show's multidimensional[...]

Written by Jeff Loveness and directed Bryan Newton, Rick and Morty episode "Promortyus" had a double-layered message that was simple, direct, and powerful If the midseason return episode was about exposing viewers to the storytelling difficulties that come with crafting the dimension-hopping duo's adventures, this week reminded us that Rick and Morty (with assists from[...]

Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty was clearly ready to move on from last week's midseason uber-meta, fifth wall-shattering return Written by Jeff Loveness and directed Bryan Newton, "Promortyus" had a double-layered message that was simple, direct, and powerful If last week was about exposing viewers to the storytelling difficulties that come with[...]

Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's dimension-hopping duo kicked-off their midseason return with an episode of Rick and Morty that still has us debating what's canon, what's not canon, where the show's heading from this point forward and if any of us really know who we are anymore Let's just say that "Never Ricking Morty" dumped[...]

Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's dimension-hopping duo Rick and Morty found themselves dropped on their collective "meta" heads as they went stage-diving through the fourth, fifth and possibly sixth walls (if that exists) in midseason opener "Never Ricking Morty", and they have director Erica Hayes and writer Jeff Loveness to thank for it In our review[...]

Director Erica Hayes and writer Jeff Loveness dropped Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's dimension-hopping duo Rick and Morty on their collective "meta" heads while taking a satirical sledgehammer to the fourth, fifth, and (if it exists) sixth walls on "Never Ricking Morty" The episode proved to be a creative primal scream from the series creator's souls (you[...]

So after an outing that saw way-too-ripped old men, the endless storyline cycle that is Life, and a whole bunch of potential fan-favorite future moments (like that sweet Evil Morty scene) now being called into question. Rick and Morty discover what was in those wet eggs, courtesy of Adult Swim. Think about it: how much of the[...]

Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's dimension-hopping duo turned "meta" on its head and created new walls of perception just so they could break them with Rick and Morty "Never Ricking Morty" Directed by Erica Hayes and written by Jeff Loveness (you can check out our review at the link below), the episode was a creative primal[...]

We're going to let you have this episode of Rick and Morty, Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland Let me be clear: that is in no way meant to diminish director Erica Hayes and writer Jeff Loveness because this was a true mindf**k that found ways to create walls just to break them But "Never Ricking[...]
