Not until August? Damn man, Rick and Morty won't be back until the summer, Review is already over what are we goi…
What's that? Archer is back this week? Plus Saul next week, Fargo the week after, and a new Adventure Time miniseries the week after THAT?
Holy Shit it a good time for TV

I didn't remember at first but it was in Season 3 when Chang was a security guard and living in a boiler room. He had a mannequin leg he called his wife and had a name for

So here's a question I've been pondering with the comments continuing to bring up Evil Morty; The Council of Ricks, and really the whole Citadel completely commitize Mortys. So at the end of Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind, do we really think The Council released all those Rickless Mortys back to their home

If it were any other show, aside from a secret The Venture Bros or (beyond all possible reason) the true ending to Metalocalypse, I would say no, but Rick and Morty is always so good that I can deal with another week of seeing those ads where it looks like Jack has to escape a creature's stomach.

So I loved how Rick's speech at the end echoes his rambling speech from the pilot because that speech has always struck me as how dark it is. I clearly remember "It's just you and me, Morty. The outside world is our enemy, Morty!" from way back in the first trailer for this show and the just loneliness and sadness of

That's the thing though, sure the memory is made up but you can never trust Rick so the question of how made up his backstory was is still a bit in the air to me. The only thing I can say for sure is that yes, absolutely I can see Rick doing all this just because Jerry tried to turn the family against him on Tiny

Exactly. You know when season 1 ended it felt like the conversation in the bar right before Forrest quits and punched out Grant, like a subtle reveal of "OH, Grant is the villian of the show." And all throughout the second season it played into that while also slowly peeling back to have a similar revelation during

Okay I just rewatched the Apollo pilot. I liked it way more that I remember. However Hot Streets turns out Apollo Gauntlet is gonna be great.

That's the thing, any direction you look at Grant is just so dark I can't decide which one is the worst. Is Grant an evil mastermind who constructed this whole season as revenge against Forrest? Is he just profoundly wrapped in his own self interest in spite of it destroying Forrest's life? Or could he just be

Oh yeah, if it had been Apollo and Bad Guys I would have no complaints because I did enjoy Apollo, but I really didn't care for Hot Streets

I was also thinking earlier this week the only person to request for him to stop reviewing would be his wife and I'm not only so glad I called it, but also they did it and STILL didn't have it be a cop out by giving Forrest a happy ending in spite of all his horrible choices/actions over the series.
Unrelated, but I

I've been thinking about it all night and I've come to the conclusion that this finale, and even this entire season are perfect. And I don't say that lightly I mean down to every last detail flawless, because EVERY last segment in these three episodes leads to this point
Locorito not only reintroduces the murder trial

This kinda bums me out. Apollo was super weird but I loved how it had a really laid back tone, but stuff still happened in it. It felt like it would grow on me. Hot Streets was just so bad though, ugly and suprisingly boring for a show with monsters made entirely of brain matter.
It might not be so bad if they weren't

Evil arcade machines? Weird neon-y glowing monsters? Thing that looks like a giant cubic brain with a HAL 9000 eye? Joel McHale as the face of a clearly sketchy dating app? Mark Hamill narration? Patton Oswalt? How can anyone not think this looks amazing?

So I realized that Jack has likely at this point running from his past for decades, even to the point of literally so due to his visions. However what allows him to regain at least a portion of his confidence and let the old noble Jack through was a long forgotten memory. I'm betting that thread will come into play

It is, I just remembered it when I saw part of it this week and with him changing glasses as a co-host made me put everything together.

I just realized seeing a bit of the corner of it in this episode is that the scar on Grant's chest is Forrest's glasses right from where he rammed him and sent them both over the bridge

I love that Forrest's entire delusional way he sees the world can be so perfectly captured by a single line; "Considering the many miseries the Locorito brought me it's no wonder Neato Taquitos is no longer in business." It's just such a perfect representation of the show as a whole.

I'm so happy for the existence of Scaramouche. He's just a great classic Samurai Jack villian, neat power, cool design, perfectly goofy and cartoony concept, and even voiced by Tom Kenny. In addition even though he only had two lines there is something so funny to me about Aku on the other end of a phone. I think I'm

I'm with Sean on this one. I've got a soft spot for Family Guy. It's not better than American Dad and nothing can top Bob's Burgers for me, but when it works (which the newest season available on Netflix does more often than not and more than the previous couple years) it can still be pretty to really funny.
