  • Title: Rick and Morty – Juricksic Mort
  • IMDb: link

Combining Arrival and Jurassic Park into a single idea, “Juricksic Mort” sees dinosaurs return to the Earth in spaceships to be surprised by humanity’s rise and offers to fix the world for them (which they do in record time). Rick‘s (Justin Roiland) obsession to prove himself better to the dinos leads to a discovery about mildly-sentient asteroids out to destroy them. While not one of the strongest episodes, there’s fun to be had such as the family turning to Jerry (Chris Parnell) as the expert on how to get by doing nothing (now that nothing is needed).

Archer – Distraction Action

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Archer – Distraction Action
  • IMDb: link

After being played by Fabian Kingsworth (Kayvan Novak), our spies are on the run being hunted. Archer (H. Jon Benjamin) comes up with a plan of distraction to get Lana (Aisha Tyler) into court while calling on for some dirt on Robert (Stephen Tobolowsky) from an old friend to help Lana win custody of her daughter. “Distraction Action” is notable mostly for crazy distractions of Cyril (Chris Parnell) and Pam (Amber Nash) and the near total incompetence of the government agents assigned to capture them. Wacky fun, but rather standard Archer-craziness without any stand-out moments.

Young Hellboy: Assault on Castle Death #2

/ / Comics

The four-issue mini-series continues with a feverish Hellboy living out a fantasy of an adventure with his hero the Lobster while unknowingly being pursued by a very real threat in the assassin from a cult sent to kill him.

The best thing Young Hellboy: Assault on Castle Death #2 has going for it is how well writers Mike Mignola and Thomas Sniegoski capture the feeling of Hellboy as a kid. On a fever-fueled adventure, Hellboy is having a grand time fighting undead soldiers (BPRD guards) and storming Castle Death (a warehouse) with his hero.
