Rick and Morty Season 6: What to Expect

New DVD releaseexpect, morty, season

There aren’t many guarantees in life. Thankfully, one of them is that we will be getting new episodes of Rick and Morty on Adult Swim … many more new episodes in fact! You may recall that way back in 2018, Adult Swim cut a deal with Rick and Morty creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon to produce a staggering 70 additional  episodes of the show. The deal came before season 4 and since then Rick and Morty has generated 20 episodes, leaving fans with (at least) 50 more to look forward to.  Each season of Rick and Morty thus far…

The Rick and Morty Season 5 Finale Explains…Well, Just About Everything

New DVD releaseabout, everything, explains, finale, morty, season

This article contains spoilers for Rick and Morty season 5 episode 10. Rick and Morty is fighting a losing battle with its own canon.  The show has demonstrated time and time again that it prefers crafting episodic, self-contained stories to fully realize the potential of playing in a massive sci-fi sandbox. Like Rick Sanchez himself, the writers of the show understand that infinite universes (and a hefty 70-episode order from Adult Swim) means that a concept as earthbound as “story” will soon become pointless. Viewers, however, have never felt that way. Despite being presented with the promise of infinite creation,…

Rick and Morty Season 5 Finale Review

New DVD releasefinale, morty, review, season

This RICK AND MORTY review contains spoilers. Rick and Morty Season 5 Finale It’s been a while, so let’s first recap the consistent problems with season five of Rick and Morty. Problem one is that characterization feels like it’s either pushed aside in favor of crazy, silly sci-fi nonsense or lost in a muddle of convoluted sci-fi nonsense. Problem two is that episodes are so overloaded with plot and dialogue delivered at such breakneck speed that there’s either no time for jokes or, packed in with everything else going on in these overstuffed episodes, they just don’t land. The missing…

Rick and Morty Miss Out on a Blade Universe in Season 5 Trailer

New DVD releaseblade, morty, season, trailer, universe

Pop culture doesn’t have nearly enough multiverse-recognized holidays. Sure, Wookiee Life Day is great but can Kashyyyk place it on the Gregorian calendar? (Disney would have you believe it’s on Nov. 17, for what it’s worth). Adult Swim has recognized this problem and is offering a solution. Rick and Morty season 5 is officially set to arrive on June 20, and the network has declared that now sacred date to be a multiverse holiday. Hopefully banks everywhere from Dimension C-132 to C-137 will be closed in observance! The main event on June 20 will be the premiere on Rick and…

Rick and Morty Character Guide Delves Into the Multiverse

New DVD releasecharacter, delves, guide, morty, multiverse

The open nature of animation as a genre and the seeming limitlessness of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland’s imaginations means that their Adult Swim creation Rick and Morty occupies a big universe … or universes more accurately  This creates for an undeniably exciting viewing experience. It feels like anything can happen in a multiverse-spanning episode of Rick and Morty – because just about anything probably can. But that enormous universe also means an equally enormous stable of characters, which can be hard to keep up with. We gave it our best shot over here, but now the real professionals are…

Rick and Morty’s Most Gruesome Deaths

New DVD releasedeaths, gruesome, morty

The super-slick, super-sick Rick and Morty brand is known for many things: the warped, borderline-abusive dynamic between its titular characters, its deliciously dark humour, the gleefulness it takes in capsizing the conventions of a thousand genre tropes. Then there are the catch-phrases, and the colourful cast of supporting characters – everything from fatally-depressed Mr Meseeks to embedded family friends like Mr Poopybutthole. What really characterises it though, is death. That it’s not the first association you make with the show is possibly a by-product of there being so damn much of it that it stops registering. There are long deaths,…

New Rick and Morty Anime Short is Very Fun and Very Anime

New DVD releaseanime, morty, short

Fans of Rick and Morty have gotten used to being neglected. Whenever a season wraps up, we assume we won’t be getting more sci-fi rigamarole adventures for at least a year. Well, color me surprised, because it’s been less than two months since the season four finale and Adult Swim has already blessed us with a peek at an animatic for a scene from season five and now they’ve followed it up with an 8-minute short that reimagines Rick and Morty as an anime. It’s written and directed by Takashi Sano who most recently directed the TV adaptation of the…

Rick and Morty Season 5 Debuts First Look Teaser

New DVD releasedebuts, first, morty, season, teaser

The 70-episode order that Rick and Morty co-creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland signed with Adult Swim came along with many benefits. The most obvious of which is…70 more episodes of Rick and Morty! One subtle advantage, however, is that fans now don’t have to wait years for little morsels of footage from upcoming seasons. In fact, even though Rick and Morty season 4 concluded on May 31 of this year, Harmon was prepared to share some footage from season 5 during the show’s virtual press conference (not Comic-Con@Home-related) just two months later. That’s right, Adult Swim has unveiled a…

Ant-Man 3 Lands Screenwriter From Rick & Morty Team

New DVD releaselands, morty, screenwriter

Although Ant-Man 3 has yet to appear on any official Marvel Studios release schedule — except maybe for that big, years-spanning whiteboard in Kevin Feige’s office that we’ve all heard about — a script for the movie has been commissioned and a writer has been hired to pen it. That writer is Jeff Loveness, who has been a co-producer and member of the writers’ room for the animated Rick & Morty series for much of the last year or so. Loveness got his start writing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! From 2011 to 2015, and his other credits include the Oscars,…

Rick & Morty Season 1-3

New DVD releasemorty, season

Highly Recommended Rick and Morty: There's this little show called Rick and Morty, from the Adult Swim network, and if you don't know it, or worse, don't like it, I pity you, dog. No really. Wubba Lubba Dub Dub or something! Rick and Morty is the brainchild of two dinguses named Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, and it's pretty much the epitome of animated comedy for arrested adolescent males raised on The Simpsons, with a splash of Devil Doll and Radiskull thrown in for good measure. As such, it has a lot to tell us about the state of America,…
