Rick and Dave Control the Universe

Dave hates science and exploration, apparently. Also in this episode: Rick challenges Dave to reduce his screen-time for just one week. Can he do it? (Spoiler alert: No.)

Also also in the episode: A pretty big surprise for fans of one of our earlier podcasts.

And, finally, here's the link to Dave's stand-up comedy debut! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yc9ZE0WIvs

Rick wants to talk about his most prized possession. Hint: It's wall-related. Dave's is... shocker... Star Trek-related.

Also on the docket: Apple's new AirTags and our reviews of four -- count 'em, four! -- movies that don't feature a superhero, a Vulcan, or a Will Smith. (One might have an alien, though.)

Rick has a pretty hot take on modern TVs, and it's so smart he almost convinces Dave he's right.

Meanwhile, Dave reviews the cult fave "Dungeon Crawler Carl," and we dive into some crazy-cool new tech: exo-skeletons and digital art frames.

Dave deserves a raise. The poor guy spent hours editing this episode, only to wind up with a corrupted file. So he had to edit the whole thing again from scratch! Don't worry, Rick bought him a pack of gum as a reward.

Thank goodness it all worked out, because you do NOT want to miss this one. A preview:

• Highlights from CES 2026 (the robots are coming!)
• Early thoughts on "Starfleet Academy"
• We review "Stranger Things" S5 and the new Will Arnett movie, "Is This Thing On?"
• More bloopers than you can possibly imagine. (You DO stick around till the very end, right?)

We're back! Again! And we have new art that was clearly generated by AI, because Rick isn't that handsome and Dave isn't that young.

Find out what we've been up to and stick around for our top TV, movie, and book picks of 2025.

Promises were made. Things happened. Here's the whole story, plus an entire bonus episode of RADCTU to make up for it.

We're back after a loooong summer break to talk about, among other things, our favorite Saturday morning shows from childhood. (Surely SOMEONE else out there remembers The Lost Saucer?)

Also: RADCTU is about to become... something else! We're going back to our recapping roots to celebrate one of the best shows of the past 25 years. Which one? Listen and find out!

We saw Guardians Vol. 3 and we're not feeling... Marvel-ous about it. Wait, I feel like we made that joke before...

Quick housekeeping note: One of us is traveling for a couple weeks so this will be it till June. Sorry about that!

The first: Picard S3 was not only really good, it also stuck the landing (though just barely).

Needless to say, if we controlled the universe, these things would work a lot better.

Plus: TV ketchup! Er, catch-up: We dive in on 1899 (way late) and Star Trek Picard S3 (just getting started).
