One Piece - The Man in the Straw Hat

While the main storyline features Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy), Nami (Emily Rudd), and Zoro (Mackenyu) being taken prisoner by the clown pirate Buggy (Jeff Ward), the episode’s title comes from the flashbacks to young Luffy’s relationship with Shanks (Peter Gadiot) and the series of events which led the pirate to leave his hat with him (and provide the episode with its most notable CGI sequence). The big top pirates fit right in with the wackiness that we’ve seen and working to escape them helps bring Luffy, Nami, and Zoro closer together (although one is keeping a rather large secret from the others).

Rick and Morty - How Poopy Got His Poop Back

Remember that time Rick (Ian Cardoni) partied with Hugh Jackman (playing himself) and got hunted by a Predator? Rick and Morty return for a new season with Rick rounding up his old friends to throw an intervention-like event, which he swears isn’t an intervention (because those are dumb!), for his old friend Mr. Poopybutthole (Jon Allen) who has been living with the Smiths for several weeks. Things quickly go off the rails. While the rest of the family don’t get much more than cameos here, the episode does allow for an assortment of Rick’s old pals to get together and party with Jackman and the Smith’s neighbor Gene (Tom Kenny) who is literally left holding the bag to close out the episode.

“I found I had taken an irrational dislike to Junior Allen, that smiling man.”

Throwback Tuesday takes us back nearly 60 years to John D. MacDonald‘s first Travis McGee novel which would eventually span 21 novels taking place over the next two decades. Private investigator adjacent, McGee is, in his own words, a salvage consultant working out of his houseboat on the Florida coast. When in need of money, and for the right client, McGee will offer his services for half the value of whatever he can recover and is often the only recourse for those who have no legal remedy.
