"Rick and Morty" Season 4 "One Crew Over the Crewcoo's Morty": Rick Tunes Up the Anti-Booby Suits [PREVIEW]
Fans of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty had been counting down the months and days until Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's animated mayhem returned to their screens once more.
That wait ended earlier this month with season premiere "Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat" (reviewed here), where we got a crash course in "death crystals" and gained a deeper understanding of just how hard it would be to kill Rick Sanchez – and keep his dead.
Which lead to "The Old Man and the Seat" (our review here), a brilliant balance between sharp social satire and a gut-punch examination of love, loss, control… and poop.
This week, we've got Rick pulling in some favors to get a crew together to pull a new job in "One Crew Over the Crewcoo's Morty" – but is that "job" really just dramatic walking in a cool, music-fueled manner?
It would seem so, because as Rick tried to tell Morty in last season's "Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender", he doesn't really see the need for or use in "teams" – not when you have "toy" like an anti-booby suit at your disposal:
Speaking of "dramatic walking in a cool, music-fueled manner"…
"Rick and Morty" season 4, episode 3 "One Crew Over the Crewcoo's Morty": Twists and turns abound.
From the Upfronts earlier in the summer, there was the announcement of season 4 with an accompanying video (see below), and red carpet interviews with Harmon and Roiland that teased (jokingly?) a Rick and Morty future with Daniel Radcliffe and Kanye West in it. In late June, Adult Swim announced a second addition of its two-day festival in Los Angeles – which will be of particular interest to fans (more below).
And then? Things got serious with the season 4 trailer…

Buckle in for disappointment because there's no way these episodes will be good enough for how long you waited. But maybe they will be? It's season four! It's sexy and smooth. Buckle in! Did I already say that? Definitely stay buckled in.
Rick and Morty is the Emmy-award-winning half-hour animated hit comedy series on Adult Swim that follows a sociopathic genius scientist who drags his inherently timid grandson on insanely dangerous adventures across the universe. Rick Sanchez is living with his daughter Beth's family and constantly bringing her, his son-in-law Jerry, granddaughter Summer, and grandson Morty into intergalactic escapades.
Rick and Morty stars Justin Roiland (Adventure Time), Sarah Chalke (Scrubs), Chris Parnell (Saturday Night Live), and Spencer Grammer (Greek). The series is created by Dan Harmon (Community) and Roiland, who also serve as executive producers.
In October, fans learned the titles of this season's opener as well as the following four episodes via an Adult Swim reveal video.
Fair warning: Harmon and Roiland's Rick and Morty "Pun Fu" is strong this season… let the speculation begin!
