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 can check out the link to our review below), a need for the creative forces behind the scenes to make sure viewers understand just how hard it can be to keep the locomotive called Rick and Morty on the tracks (how it might be driving them mad).

Earlier this week, Harmon and Loveness discussed the literary devices dissected during the return outing as well as their deep-seated obsession with the phrase "***-gutters." Now, We get to learn more about Hayes and how she made the journey from coffee barista to series storyboard artist to her new title as director this season. In the clip below, we also learn about the responsibilities of overseeing the completion of animatics for the fourth season and hear from various members of the team on what goes into getting an episode onto our screens.

Harmon, Roiland, and Adult Swim released an episode titles announcement video that gave a nice "wink-and-a-nod" to The Terminator before revealing the following loaded episode names (with loglines included). Beginning with return episode "Never Ricking Morty," we have "Promortyus" (Get off my face, broth), "The Vat of Acid Episode" (The one with the acid vat, broth), "Childrick of Mort" (Miracle of life, broth. Whole family in this one, broh.), and "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri" (Parenting is crazy, broh. Stuff straight disappearin in this one).
