Goddamit, ErisOnWheels Morty, I told you we can only do this switching universes thing a few times, and you waste one with this *buuuuurrrrrppp* nonsense?!?!?!

See, that’s where Harmon is wrong... Because I personally think Interdimensional Cable is freaking awful. If there is any Rick and Morty that I thought, “Well, that was filler”, it was this loose collection of ad libs that weren’t all that funny to me. I am rewatching the series with my kids, and I’ll say to my wife…
That’s very generous.
Glad to see Harmon looking towards my favorite Rick And Morty episode for future inspiration. “Look Who’s Purging Now” is a joy from start to finish, even without a, say, “come watch TV” moment (although I think the Tony Toni Toné proletariat uprising sequence gets close in its own way).
Yeah! I told a friend who doesn’t watch the show that Get Shwifty was the weakest episode, and it’s still pretty damn great.
“The perfect is the enemy of the good,” said... someone. Voltaire? Eh, who cares. This post is good enough.
Personally I think the Get Schwifty episode is a better example of “good enough”. The purge episode is great imo.
Why was that video instead of text? There was no commentary; it was just words on a screen. It means you can’t watch it on your phone or read it discreetly at work and it uses a shitton more data. And makes your computer run hotter.
Something I’ll really miss about Soulstice is D’Arcy Carden’s character (make no mistake, Janet’s awesome, and it’s great to see her advancing her career).
Part of the show’s endgame/evolution is the fact that in season one all of the characters had toxic co-dependent relationships with each other. At some point they had to break off and mature independently in order to cease being their worst selves around each other. I think there is an argument to be made that the…
Bojack’s reaction to Tood being asexual was basically my reaction when I first learned about it and realized I was myself. ‘Really? Huh. That actually seems convenient. And I don’t have herpes.’ His statement later in that scene hit on one of biggest problem-areas that arises: Friendship is basically as close as…
I’ve been thinking a lot about whitewashing on this show while bingeing through it last week in anticipation of the new season. I think at some point they realized they’ve made a mistake making Diane Asian (or, conversely, casting Alison Brie to play her), because I noticed they’ve been compensating for it by casting…
What follows is my thoughts on the season as a whole which are connected to this episode. There are no spoilers.
Lowest of low bars, but this has gotta be the most thoughtful TV exploration of asexuality I’ve had the privilege to watch. I’m beyond curious whose idea this subplot was, I kinda feel like I need to thank ‘em.
I said this in response to someone on the first review, but Todd being there makes me happy for the Ace community (which that’s such a cool name, I just get Pan. But I also get Deadpool on the representation front, so fair trade). I watch a lot of television, and to my knowledge this is one of the first times a…
There isn’t just only one way to do a lobotomy. While transorbital lobotomies were rising in popularity around the forties, other practices involving openings in the scalp were still common around the time Honey got under the knife (probably soon after the 2 WW)
Having roared through all the episodes until 3:30AM last night/this morning (it never really feels right calling it the morning when you haven’t slept yet), I look forward to reading the rest of the reviews. God, this show.
As a great woman once said, ‘suck a dick dumbshit.’
From episode 1, scene 1:
Maybe it’s Baby’s First Critical Analysis to suggest that Twin Peaks: The Return is an extended meditation on both itself and the original run of episodes, but that’s the most coherent interpretation I have so far. I guess the only insight less piercing than that would be “Dale Cooper symbolically represents the…
