Rick and Morty - Rest and Ricklaxation TV review

It’s not unusual for Rick and Morty to offer a twist after the initial set-up. The set-up here is a long-overdue vacation leads Rick and Morty to cleanse themselves and relax in the galaxy’s best spa. During this time off, Rick (Justin Roiland) and Morty (Roiland) relieve themselves of the mental toxins as well as physical, leaving behind copies of what each sees as the worst parts of themselves. What’s in the toxic versions of both Rick and Morty says a lot about both characters. Morty’s insecurities and self-doubt are left behind. For Rick, his more evil machinations are obviously cleansed but so are his feelings for Morty (which the scientist sees as a weakness).

Rick and Morty - The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy TV review

Pressured by Morty (Justin Roiland) to take the depressed Jerry (Chris Parnell) out on an adventure, Rick (Roiland) drags his reluctant son-in-law into space to an intergalactic resort sporting an immortality field which makes it impossible for the guests to die… at least as long as you stay inside the field. There the usually timid ad man will be tempted by the ridiculously named Risotto Groupon (Clancy Brown) to join in on a conspiracy to kill the mad scientist who ruined his family.

Rick and Morty - Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender TV review

From the moment Morty (Justin Roiland) shows Rick (Roiland) his stamp card telling his grandfather the tenth adventure will be with the Vindicators, Rick is a sullen prick (so… pretty much the norm). First, how great is it that Morty has a stamp card? And that Rick’s “reward” for putting his grandson through all types of horror is to allow him to pick a single adventure for every ten Morty gets dragged on? Rick isn’t pleased to see the Vindicators again, insensitively mocking the heroes as the prepare to stop Worldender from… well, ending worlds I guess. Worldender isn’t he villain of he episode, however, it’s Rick.

Rick and Morty - Pickle Rick television review

After turning himself into a pickle to avoid family therapy, Rick (Justin Roiland) has one hell of a day. What starts out as a cute, if bizarre, premise of Rick rolling around the garage bench celebrating his pickleness soon turns dark for the pickle man who gets washed into the sewer. One of the bloodiest episodes of the series, “Pickle Rick” showcases Rick murdering dozens of rats for their body parts in order to construct an exoskeleton and make it out of the sewer. Climbing out of the toilet of a foreign embassy full of gun-totting fools, Rick’s day of murder (involving knives, lasers, explosives, and Home Alone-style murder traps) has just begun.

Rick and Morty - Rickmancing the Stone TV review

It’s a mad, mad world when Rick (Justin Roiland), Summer (Spencer Grammer), and Morty (Roiland) head to an post-apocalyptic Earth not unlike a recent film. Spending more time with their grandfather since their parents divorce hasn’t seemed to help anyone. Summer has taken a dark turn, taking an immediate shine to her new surroundings while Morty’s initial dislike of the new world is softened when Rick’s experimenting gives him a monstrous-sized arm to beat our his anger on all comers as he becomes master of the Blood Dome.
