When Independence Day came out in 1996, no one thought for a second that it would one day be used for the title of a TV episode about the mortal consequences of secret masturbation. Although, Rick and Morty S5E4 has little in common with its namesake. Granted, the stock scientist, Professor Shabooboo, appears to be […] More
In ‘A Rickonvenient Mort’, the early ’90s cartoon Captain Planet and the Planeteers gets the Adult Swim treatment, and Rick and Summer indulge in a little end-of-the-world hedonism. Following the Brechtian detachment of ‘Mortyplicity’, Rick and Morty S5E3 is surprisingly emotional—the show’s chameleon-like nature is nothing new, but it is interesting that in an episode […] More
In the destabilising second instalment of Rick and Morty Season 5, Rick continues to be haunted by the consequences of cloning Beth, and, among other things, Morty finally gets that cool laser whip he asked for in ‘Promortyus’. S5E2 also includes enough decoys to make for a seriously dangerous drinking game, one visually confusing boss battle, […] More
And away we go! The highly anticipated Rick and Morty Season 5 has now premiered on both sides of the Atlantic, and it is Rickier and more Mortyful than ever. Episode 1, ‘Mort Dinner Rick Andre’ (written by Jeff Loveness) continues to follow the Sanchez/Smith family on their genre-heavy escapades; the title is a riff […] More
Futurama is likely my favorite show of all time. It resonates with me in a way very little has. It’s funny, smart, and it’s filled with charm and imagination far beyond its years. I’ve watched and read just about everything I could get my hands on to help me understand episodes of the series even better. […] More
For many fans, there are two types of Star Trek: Trek Prime, which consists of everything from The Original Series to Enterprise, and Nu-Trek, which consists of the Kelvin timeline (or the J.J. Abrams “JJ-verse” movies) and any new series that’s come out since Trek Prime’s demise (mainly Star Trek Discovery and Star Trek: Picard). […] More
It’s a ranking of one person’s favorite Rick and Morty episodes, Morty! It doesn’t affect what you like best about the show, Morty! It-it-it’s just one person’s opinion! Just–we–we all like the show, Morty! Just read it and comment about the mutual love of our wacky adventures, Morty! But we’re only doing ten. No more. […] More
So it turns out that all of the Rick and Morty fans that were upset that “Never Ricking Morty” seemingly discarded the majority of canon setup for future episodes had nothing to fear, because this week’s action-packed and eventful Season 4 finale, “Star Mort: Rickturn of the Jerri,” not only builds off of some promising […] More
For the first time in The Other Five (the name given to the second half of this Season 4), the entire Sanchez family gets to go on an adventure together, and it’s a nice diversion from the largely Rick and Morty-centric antics of the last few episodes. Jerry, true to form, is very excited to […] More
One of the many things that we can usually expect from Rick and Morty is that the more basic its premise is, the more divergent the actual plot ends up being. “The Vat of Acid Episode,” when announced, didn’t give much away, with even the synopsis of the episode simply stating it’s “the one with […] More
After fans were divided over last week’s hyper-meta “Never Ricking Morty,” Episode 7 of Season 4 of Rick and Morty is a return to a more classic adventure format. “Promortyus” is classic Rick and Morty goofiness, and this time the episode takes aim at the Alien franchise. The episode opens with Rick and Morty walking […] More
It’s an interesting experience being a Rick and Morty fan, particularly when at least half of your group is characterized by being one of the most toxic and hateful on the internet. You don’t have to go far to find aggressively vitriolic posts from the fanbase either insulting non-fans for “not getting it” or putting […] More
