Do you think he had a hand in the events of Season 2 or will show up again in Season 3? If so how?* Who/What is the One True Morty? Is he a delusion created by a crowd of traumatized 14 year old kids, or is there some truth to the prophecy?* Is Rick really using Morty for camouflage?

Why or why not?* OUR THOUGHTS!* My fundamental issues with the Citadel of Ricks* Doofus Rickâs take on Jerryâs coins – âThey have value to you and thatâs what mattersâ* Baby Morty?* âThis is no time for arcsâŚ.

Meanwhile Jerry tries to help Morty finish his science project and lands them in the middle of a political conspiracy-thriller plot on the planet Pluto (ahem *celestial dwarf). There’s also a D-plot in which a small robot discovers existential dreadDiscussion Points:* Reddit Discussion* Pluto. Is it a planet, a celestial dwarf or something completely different? Defend your science!* Have you played Jerryâs game? If so, whatâs your high score?* Some voids canât be filled with Jamba Juice, but what voids can be filled by jamba juice?* What item in Mr. Needfulâs shop would you grab? After taking it to Curse Purge Plus how would that item be improved?* This episode explores a lot of Science versus Magic. Does the existence of the Devil prove problematic for the universe the show has created? Do Rickâs viewpoints hold up if Magic exists?

We got our podcast name from this episode. You should really have a listen, won’t you?SHOW NOTES – Rixty MinutesSemi Pertinent News* Cinemablend âgood news?â* “I’m optimistic right now, at the moment. Negotiations are tough. It’s an unprecedented situation, and everybody’s being real cool and wants to make an agreement happen so that we can get started. That’s about all I can say.”* https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2411501/rick-and-morty-season-4-just-got-some-positive-news-for-once* Dan Harmon tweet minute* I donât THINK thereâs any spoilers inherent in this question but why would the Hulk eating Spiderman make it MORE legal for him to marry Thor?* does anyone playing modded minecraft have crashing issues with RFtools, in particular the builder and elevator blocks, I’m playing a custom pack of mods in 1.12.2, builder crashes when I use it as a quarry I’m trying to isolate the circumstances, unable to find anything onlineMAIN THANG – Rixty Minutes* S1E7 – âRixty Minutesâ* Originally aired: March 17, 2014* Written by Tom Kauffman and Justin Roiland* Directed by Bryan Newton* Synopsis* Let’s sum it up like this: the family gets bored of their regular television.

After they catch a reality where Jerry is a movie star, Beth, Jerry, and Summer force Rick to make goggles that let them see through their other realities’ eyes.Rick and Morty continue watching TVSummer uses the goggles and finds out that the only realities she exist are in the ones where she wasn’t aborted and wants to run away. She doesn’t cause Morty stops her.Jerry and Beth almost get a divorce but don’t because even in alternate realities they end up together.Rick and Morty continue watching amazing tv.* Reddit Discussion Points: REDDIT LINK* Rixty Minutes was the first episode of Television to premiere on Instagram. Obnoxious marketing decision or brilliant obnoxious marketing decision? Did any of you take the time to watch it in 15second increments? Did you wait until the television premiere?* Obligatory: Whatâs your favorite sketch & Why?

Ya know, some real /r/deepintoyoutube / r/interdimensionalcable shit.Blood Dome Battle League* Ants In My Eyes Johnson vs Tophat Jones* What happened?* Janine Turpie Tophat Jones was ceremoniously slaughtered by small children, Ants in my Eyes Johnson successfully lit himself on fire and didnât feel a thing.1 hr 15 min

Justin Roilandâs Char & Ity and âThe Apple Stand Caperâ* Netflix – 39:50 time stamp, go watch it* Dungeons and Dragons comic crossover* IDW and OniPress* Written by Patrick Rothfuss and Jim Zub* https://nerdist.com/rick-and-morty-dungeons-and-dragons-comic/* Dan Harmon tweet minute* No joke, very curious, when you get deja vu, do you immediately think âoh funâ or do you immediately think âoh fuck, this means Iâm about to die.â Spoilers, I am in the latter category and would like to hear thatâs not a totally unique reactionMAIN THANG – Raising Gazorpazorp* S1E7 – âRaising Gazorpazorpâ* Originally aired: March 10, 2014* Written by Eric Acosta & Wade Randolph* Directed by Jeff Myers* Synopsis* In a pawn shop in space, Rick buys Morty a sex robot. Soon after, the robot conceives Morty’s child, who is half human half alien. Rick and Summer go to the sex robot’s planet of origin, Gazorpazorp, to find better suited parents for Morty Jr. After discovering that the Gazorpian females are the dominant gender on the planet, Rick and Summer discover that the males of this species mature in only days. After breaking a planetary rule, Rick and Summer try and figure out how to escape death. Morty Jr’s quick aging teaches Morty about parenting.*Production Notes* When this episode was first screened, a bunch of crew members happened to bring their kids/families along to the studio for the semi weekly animatic (animated storyboard) screening. After the family breakfast scene, it was pretty clear that it would be an especially hilarious/awkward viewing.* The giant head on planet Gazorpazorp is based off the film Zardoz starring Sean Connery.* From my understanding, nobody had a particular grudge against Marmaduke creator Brad Anderson, they just needed someone to poke fun at who was less likely to get stupid and sue them vs. someone like Jim Davis.* Look at the background art in the female-centric part of Gazorpazorp and count the boobs/yonic symbols. So many boobs.* The latin wording on Mar-Shaâs throne translates out to âYouâre always wrong/lyingâ or something similar. It was recently brought to our attention that the translation is actually incorrect. Thanks a bunch, Google Translate.*Reddit Discussion Points:* What did you think about the black and white portrayal of gender in this episode? Do you think it was inspired by genre science fiction, an all male writers room, a purposeful caricature poking fun at the way things are portrayed, or something entirely different?* Thought exercise: Based on everything youâve seen, what do you think Rickâs views are towards women? Is he resentful or indifferent? Does he respect women, or lean more towards the mensrights side of things? Discuss.* What are your thoughts on the development of Summerâs character? Is she underwritten or âjust your standard teenage girlâ? Does she provide a strong counterpart to Morty ...1 hr 4 min

- RaM Ep 48 – S1E6 Rick Potion #9 - Interdimensional RSS: The Unofficial Rick and Morty PodcastWe’re talking love vs. infatuation and just how terrible love potions really are for episode 6 of Rick and Morty, Rick Potion #9!SHOW NOTES – Rick Potion #9Semi Pertinent News* Run Jewels Video* Animated by RaM team* Adult Swim Festival* Dan Harmon not tweet minute* Season 4 not happening??!* Justin Roiland – For everyone telling me to get back to work on Rick and Morty (season four) turn your attention to Turner. Iâm waiting around just like you. Making some cool video games in the meantime though! @squanchgames* Dan Harmon tweet minute* I just saw Chuck Wooleryâs twitter timeline and I will be back in oof and oof* Now people are just responding with animated gifs of people from 20 year old TV shows ânot gettingâ my reference to a 30 year old TV showMAIN THANG – Rick Potion #9S1E6 – âRick Potion #9â* Originally aired: January 27, 2014* Written by Justin Roiland* Directed by Stephen Sandoval* Synopsis* A dance at Morty’s high school prompts him to ask Rick if he can create a Rick potion that will make his pretty classmate Jessica find Morty attractive. However, because Jessica has the flu, the potion goes haywire and becomes airborne and causes nearly the whole population of Earth to fall for Morty save for blood relatives. Rick fixes up an antidote which does not produce its hoped results. Meanwhile, Jerry becomes concerned about Beth’s fidelity. Eventually both plots cross paths. This results in Rick and Morty migrating to another reality where that reality’s Rick successfully cures all of Earth, but he and that reality’s Morty die in an experiment allowing Rick and Morty to assume their roles.* Production Notes* Production title was âLove Pandemicâ and second episode in production order after âLawnmower Dogâ* This episode changes the showâs identity* All the cronenberg animations had to be done frame by frame where the rest of the show is done using Harmony puppets* The goggles that Rick pulls out to search for a new dimension are the same interdimensional goggles that become a focal point in âRixty Minutesâ* You can spot Tammy in the background during the flu dance. Since this was #2 in production order, she was still an incidental design without a name.* Since this episode was so early in the production timeline, the stuttering is more pronounced than the episodes before and after.* Reddit Discussion Points:* The whole “love potion gone wrong” device is a pretty standard story trope, but this episode really emphasizes the how creepy and violating the concept really is (Rick’s line about the roofie serum). How do you feel about Morty being the central instigator in this violation?* Between the events of this episode and his encounter with Mr. Jellybean in “Meeseeks”, Morty has stared down some some deeply traumatic experiences. How do you feel his character has or hasn’t grown/developed from these experiences?* (Sometimes I feel like this show’s ethos comes down to “It’s all fun and games until… And then it’s still fun and games”)* Followup: Do you feel like Morty’s character development since these events has been adequately addressed?* Rick seems to have experience with bailing on one reality for another one. Do you think he’s done this before? What could have happened to cause him to do this?* What do you think happened to Davin? Since the planet never went through the love pandemic, Davin would still be alive and Beth & Jerryâs relationship wouldnât hav...1 hr 21 min
