Fortune cookies are made from alien poop. And fortunes from the cookies are real. Oh, and Jerry (Chris Parnell) is fated to sleep with his mother. That’s the basic premise for a wacky episode of Rick and Morty as steps in after Jerry receives an odd and specific fortune that the rest of the family laughs off. The more Rick investigates the more he suspects something odd is indeed going on, leading to a confrontation with a business woman (and her many, many troops) and a discovery behind the alien origins of fortune cookies. Things get a bit weird after that.

Charlie’s Angels – Magic Fire

  • Title: Charlie’s Angels – Magic Fire
  • IMDb: link

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police officers turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. “Magic Fire” is an odd episode that merges a story about magic, arson, and fashion together. While eventually the threads do come together, it’s easily one of the more awkward setups of the series as police suspect a magician (E.J. André) who uses fire in his act of setting fires despite having no motive to do so. Looking into other magic acts, Bosley (David Doyle) and Kris (Cheryl Ladd) go undercover in their own act and Kelly (Jaclyn Smith) plays the role of a famous magician’s daughter. The show telegraphs the identity of the arsonist (Victoria Carroll) with a prank on Kris, although none of the Angels pick up on it.

After imprisonment, recovering his lost items, and a standalone episode with Dream (Tom Sturridge) and his sister, the next four episodes of The Sandman center around a young woman named Rose Walker (Vanesu Samunyai) who is a Dream Vortex, a generational power dangerous enough to destroy all of the Dreaming. The episode folds back in the Corinthian (Boyd Holbrook) and ultimately reveals a decades-old plot by Desire (Mason Alexander Park) against her sibling. Rose and Dream’s interactions sway from friendly to confrontational leading to Dream helping to save her brother (Eddie Karanja) but also left with a harsh responsibility towards the Dream Vortex.
