Exposing a betrayal of trust, in “A Ricker Runs Through It” Morty (Harry Belden) discovers Rick‘s (Ian Cardoni) cool friend Reese (Owen Wilson) who the duo enjoying hanging out with from time to time is nothing more than an android Rick whipped up in his lab. Reese purpose is to be a password authenticator created to show up when he gets so blackout drunk he gets locked out of the lab. Following a standard formula of the show, a hurt Morty attempts to help Reese (allowing us to venture into more of the subterranean levels of the basement) only to cause more harm and almost get the family killed when Reese, and Rick’s passwords, fall into the hands of vindictive space hogs.

Spaceballs: The Movie Review

  • Title: Spaceballs

Released 5 years after the conclusion of the original Star Wars trilogy, and long before any glimmer of new Star Wars films ever being made, with Spaceballs writer/director Mel Brooks lampooned the cultural phenomenon along with countless other sci-fi properties including Star Trek, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, and others. Although Brooks would go on to do other parodies in a similar vein, arguably learning the wrong lesson from the film, Spaceballs marks the end of the director’s better work which peaked far earlier in the early 1970s.
