As Rick (Ian Cardoni) takes Morty (Harry Belden), Summer (Spencer Grammer), and Jerry (Chris Parnell) to an alien theme park based on Earth which if far less bizarre and crazy than he claimed, the episode’s B-story features Beth (Sarah Chalke) and Space Beth de-aging themselves back to kids in an attempt to rediscover the joy that both have lost. The main story is a thin excuse for the show to get as crazy as possible when the park beneath the park is revealed. It’s the Beth storyline of the pair working out their ennui and pained frustrations to both their lives and their father that has a bit more meat on the bone. It also provides a couple of interesting nuggets in revealing how batshit-crazy-awful Beth was as a kid and the lengths Rick takes to try and control their neighbor Gene‘s (Tom Kenny) response to the number of bizarre and crazy things he’s seen over the years.

Rick and Morty – Cryo Mort a Rickver

“Cryo Mort a Rickver” is a thinly-written premise that allows for constant craziness when Rick (Ian Cardoni) and Morty‘s (Harry Belden) attempt to loot a cyroship lead to the accidental awakening of the crew and the pair attempting to fake being part of those awoken. For Rick, this means pretending to be preadolescent whose appearance is explained by something having gone wrong with his pod. Sadly for Morty, he ends up not as a rich traveler but as a member of the underclass of the crew who he unintentionally inspires to rise up causing chaos. You know, Morty being Morty. Everything culminates in a bloody massacre followed by a space race (which is only slightly less crazy than the fights to the death in space that occurs afterward).

After an extreme reaction to the latest sequel in the Maximum Velocitree franchise, Rick (Ian Cardoni) and Morty (Harry Belden) set out to prove they can do better. However, after the pair are pulled into Movie-lizer Rick creates to fix the movie script they are forced to make all their changes make sense and find a way to get back to a reasonable ending which is the only way they can escape the movie. With more of nod to Star Trek: The Next Generation‘s “Elementary, Dear Data” than the movie it steals its title from, a simple misspoken sentence by Rick leads to the trouble the pair find themselves in leaving Jerry (Chris Parnell) to try and right the script from the real world.

Rick and Morty - Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie

Well, that was certainly… a half-hour of television. In a move that can only be compared to South Park’s “Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus” episode, Rick and Morty offer a full episode without Rick Sanchez instead focusing on war between Ice-T, now Water-T, and his Alphabetrians verus the Numbericons. To put it kindly, let’s just say “Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie” has all the tell-tale signs of something that looks like it was much more fun to make than to watch.
