My family discovered it during quarantine and fell in love. Somehow, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood became a deadpan comedy, but remained just as sweetly sincere.

I had never heard of this show or this guy before now, but after watching a few episodes, I’m addicted.  The gentleness of Joe Pera’s deadpan humor scratches me right where I itch.

This show is exceptional.

How many episodes? I hope it is about 120.

I say this with affection (well, at least a little, in this particular blog): I think that a lot of GMG (or whatever it’s called this week) writers are just plain burnt out, and it shows pretty early on in reviews like this one. “But at this point, who hasn’t done a National Treasure joke?” Well, who has? SNL,

Funny thing about implications, you don’t say them outright.

A rich asshole clock is still right twice a day.
Scarjo is owed money along with everyone else who was depending on those box office sales.
She’s just the loudest voice, but this doesn’t start or end with her. 

apologies if this comment came across too agressive.
One thing I realized after watching a few older eps was I’m actually really enjoying how this newer season has kind of laid off of how mean and awful Rick is towards Morty. Of course Morty is great punching bag, but there were so many episodes where it was becoming

A movie that has been meddled with too much by studio suits is its own kind of bad, but they didn’t get their jobs by being oblivious to what a good movie looks like, if they’re meddling, it’s because the director’s version was also bad, and probably worse.

After having “my heart torn out””.

Is it really hard to believe the studio took his movie and hacked it to pieces? I really want to see his original cut. It might still be bad (he went on to make Bright and Tax Collector after all) but I like watching alternate cuts and seeing the impact changes can have on a movie’s tone.

If anything, I find the more sophisticated animation of Pixar to be the “lazier” and more “tired” form, because they are so obsessed with pushing the envelope, that it comes increasingly at the expense of story and character. Their latest film trailer so artfully renders the stitched hat of the protagonist that you

The reason we had “so many great cartoons in the 90s” is because we’re jaded adults giving into nostalgia and misremembering the actual quality of the entertainment we consumed in the 90s.

Also, ka-chow.

Yeah, the repetition of “why don’t you two fuck already” was VERY hacky. But overall this felt like a step-up from the last two weeks. The mutually antagonistic relationship between Rick and The President is always good for laughs, and the turkey pardon plot is exactly the sort of

I’m so lost when it comes to these reviews. It’s like if the episode doesn’t end with a somber scene of Rick lamenting over how sad and lonely he is then the episode is just “hack bits” and “stupid”?

There were so many great laughs in this one! And it’s consistently one of the best looking shows on television. The

The President’s life flashing before his eyes as a series of Playstation launch announcements was pretty funny.

I think you might be romanticizing the other seasons of Rick and Morty a bit. Sometimes Rick and Morty is crazy with a point, and sometimes it’s just crazy. (I’ve noticed it’s often when President Curtis gets involved.) Where was the deeper, underlying meaning in Lawnmower Dog, or Get Schwifty? The show likes to
