Rick and Morty – Full Meta Jackrick

  • Title: Rick and Morty – Full Meta Jackrick

Returning from mid-season hiatus, Rick and Morty goes into meta-overdrive fighting a number of zany characters with puntastic names in the meta realm while also offering the return of Story Lord (Paul Giamatti) from “Never Ricking Morty” who breaks into the real world and attempts to redefine his character with the help of his crappy creator. “Full Meta Jackrick” is batshit crazy, in all the best ways, from the opening (which includes our heroes flying through the opening credits) all the way to the end where the writer fails to learn an important lesson, much to the dismay of Ghost Joseph Campbell. The episode runs with the concept, never slowing down, while providing us with numerous moments and laughs on the way to becoming the best episode of Season Six.

G.I. JOE – Cold Slither

  • Title: G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Cold Slither

For your Saturday morning cartoon enjoyment, we look back in wonder at the genius of “Cold Slither.” An episode of G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero, “Cold Slither” begins with the Joes successful raid of a Cobra treasure stash leaving poor Cobra Commander (Christopher Collins) effectively broke. We even get a scene of Cobra soldiers (still dressed in their uniforms) attempting to apply for unemployment. LOL. And the Joes invade Cobra’s headquarters only to find Xamot (Michael Bell) and Tomax (Corey Burton) auctioning off whatever isn’t nailed down to potential buyers including Mumar Qaddafi, Fidel Castro, and the Ayatollah Khomeini. It’s hard to be a henchman.

Both Lucifer‘s (Tom Ellis) attempts to earn the support of his siblings and the murder of the week, and how it relates into Michael‘s bigger plans, take a backseat to the death of a major character in “Is This Really How It’s Going To End?!” Even after Lucifer and Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt) manage to carve out a bit of retribution, the loss of Dan (Kevin Alejandro) is felt by all. Twisting into the wound is the discovery by Lucifer and Amenadiel (D.B.
