August 7, 2026 Wiktor Reinfuss Adult Swim, Animation, Comedy Films & Shows, HBO, Rick and Morty, Sci-Fi Films & Shows 6 min read

Rick & Morty spinoff President Curtis shifts focus towards the White House and the impossible burden of ruling a country and a planet where alien invasions, interdimensional travels, ancient monsters, and reality-bending catastrophes have become almost another Monday. President Curtis certainly shares plenty of things in common with its predecessor. The same style of jokes, bizarre science-fiction events, chaotic absurdity, and

Where do we even go from here? A question I also posed at the beginning of the season. Actually, where do we really go from last week as we had THE biggest moment in Rick and Morty history? Rick’s biggest obstacle has always been himself but this time we truly saw what that meant. In “Unmortricken,” episode 5 of the seventh

Look, I don’t know how to exactly get the point across, so I’ll be blunt, Rick and Morty are back! It’s a bit different, not much more than what you’re used to already and it’s still the great Sanchez/Smith family you know and love. The animated series returns with season 7 on Adult Swim, on Sunday nights and it’s going to

Review: ‘Rick and Morty: Solaricks’

September 6, 2022 Tucker Watkins Adult Swim, Animation, Rick and Morty, Warner Bros 4 min read

The season 6 premiere for Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty indicates a much-needed shift in attitude for the series. As well-regarded as it is, Rick and Morty has had a shaky run with the award-winning highs of “The Vat of Acid Episode” and the confusing lows of “Rickdependence Spray.” The series has returned with “Solaricks,” and if it’s any indication of

‘Rick and Morty’ Season 5 Reviews – Highs and Lows

September 6, 2021 Tucker Watkins Adult Swim, Animation, Rick and Morty, Warner Bros 11 min read

For me, Rick and Morty season 4 had been a bit of a muddled mess. It contained some of my favorite episodes of the series with “The Vat of Acid Episode” and “The Old Man and the Seat,” but simultaneously had some of my least favorite episodes like “Childrick of Mort” and “Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri.” Well, Rick and
