[SPEAKER_01]: that the Dodgers got two championships in a row.
00:43.346 --> 00:47.487

[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know.
00:48.788 --> 00:49.148

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited that the season is here.
03:13.809 --> 03:19.132
[SPEAKER_01]: I I loved this episode when when I first watched it.
03:19.232 --> 03:25.575
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I'm very excited that we can now talk about it with all of you and get our thoughts out there.
03:26.856 --> 03:27.897
[SPEAKER_01]: This this first.
03:28.777 --> 03:44.699
[SPEAKER_01]: toe into the Smith family swimming pool that is season nine of Rick and Morty and yeah and and there's actually I don't know what do you what do you think where you excited you you look forward to this yeah I mean we're we're back are you nervous.
03:45.159 --> 03:46.861
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you sweating bullets?
03:46.981 --> 03:48.402
[SPEAKER_00]: I am a little nervous.
03:49.022 --> 03:51.625
[SPEAKER_00]: Like in episodes in between seasons.
03:52.165 --> 03:53.626
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are easy, right there.
03:53.706 --> 03:57.370
[SPEAKER_00]: We just like whatever there's nobody's going to listen to this anyway.
03:57.390 --> 03:58.751
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a talk for an hour.
03:58.771 --> 04:08.900
[SPEAKER_00]: There's some fucking news that is like no one's paying attention, but now we have to we have to pretend like we we know what we're talking about and we never do.
04:10.228 --> 04:14.349
[SPEAKER_01]: But before we even do any of that, occasionally we do, occasionally.
04:15.789 --> 04:20.891
[SPEAKER_01]: But before we get into the episode itself, we have a format to the show.
04:20.931 --> 04:25.812
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not going to break from tradition, and we have some very important things to talk about.
04:26.192 --> 04:29.833
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's start off with the segment we like to call semi-pertinent news.
04:39.115 --> 04:40.295
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to some of my pertinent news.
04:40.715 --> 04:42.936
[SPEAKER_00]: This is very pertinent actually news.
04:43.376 --> 04:44.576
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we say that really pertinent.
04:44.736 --> 04:47.556
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we say that a lot actually when we talk about news.
04:48.497 --> 04:53.017
[SPEAKER_00]: Rick and Morty movie over on new news on the horizon.
04:53.077 --> 04:58.538
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think Dan Harmon and Scott Margar mentioned this on some interview.
04:58.558 --> 05:01.999
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Collider Deadline, I don't know, it doesn't matter where I heard it from.
05:08.300 --> 05:28.435
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... but uh... the rumor is out the rumor is true there is a rick-a-morty uh... movie in development uh... jacob hair uh... director of multiple episodes in talks to direct uh... and uh... it was a say war brothers is an early development on a rick-a-morty movie with franchise veteran jacob hair and talks to direct deadline can confirm
05:29.095 --> 05:37.420
[SPEAKER_01]: So there you go, Deadline.com and the link to the Deadline article that basically just says that and then talks about what Rick and Morty is for the rest of the article.
05:38.901 --> 05:55.012
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, fans of this podcast will will knock it much more out of the other than the fact that yeah, Jacob here, who is is not only been a director on Rick and Morty for a long time, I think season four is when he first came on to start directing episodes.
05:57.231 --> 06:05.939
[SPEAKER_01]: You said that a facet, night family, Rattlestar, Rick Lactica, I mean, some hits, some classics, some bangers, right?
06:06.139 --> 06:11.424
[SPEAKER_01]: Not only is he directing great episodes for the last five seasons, right?
06:11.464 --> 06:14.186
[SPEAKER_01]: He's the supervising director now.
06:14.787 --> 06:20.752
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think I read one article talking about this idea of a Rick and Morty movie,
06:21.432 --> 06:37.586
[SPEAKER_01]: and Scott Martyr basically saying if you want to know like what the tone and the feel of a Scott Martyr, or I'm sorry, not Scott Martyr, shake up hair, directed feature would be watch season nine because he is the supervising director for all of season nine.
06:37.726 --> 06:41.669
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's directing the directors of each individual episode.
06:41.709 --> 06:41.969
[SPEAKER_01]: So I
06:42.930 --> 06:46.351
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm extremely happy with that choice.
06:46.631 --> 06:49.772
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a good choice to direct a movie.
06:49.812 --> 06:57.895
[SPEAKER_01]: But I want to know, Brandon, what your initial thoughts were when you heard feature-length Rick and Morty movie.
06:58.695 --> 07:01.516
[SPEAKER_01]: Ultimately, I would assume it's coming to theaters.
07:01.936 --> 07:03.237
[SPEAKER_01]: Rick and Morty on the big screen.
07:04.637 --> 07:06.979
[SPEAKER_01]: What was your first reaction?
07:07.179 --> 07:12.524
[SPEAKER_00]: My first reaction, if we're being completely a hundred percent honest, is, oh, we don't need a movie yet.
07:12.544 --> 07:33.881
[SPEAKER_00]: That's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that
07:34.869 --> 07:37.671
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where the Simpsons should have ended to me, right?
07:37.691 --> 07:39.952
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's like, it caps stones, everything.
07:39.972 --> 07:50.618
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, now it's a movie, let's, let's distill the essence of what the Simpsons are into a film, and let's let's let's that be the end of it, right?
07:52.159 --> 07:57.422
[SPEAKER_00]: And obviously the Simpsons are still going and they're coming out with the second Simpsons movie in development, right?
07:58.365 --> 08:11.330
[SPEAKER_00]: So the Rick and we're then they'll end it and then that actually I think that might be the perfect timing to do it, but as far as Rick and Morty goes We know we there's still a few more seasons
08:12.231 --> 08:20.800
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there were some comment in there that it would just be like a full-length episode just like 90 minutes of the trial.
08:21.280 --> 08:33.152
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, not to book anything just to have a gigantic episode that's in a movie format and I'm like I mean, it's kind of cool, but also I don't know how I feel about it
08:35.252 --> 08:52.408
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's interesting that we are talking about a Rick and Morty movie in the same weekend that the Mandalorian and Grogu was released in theaters and it is getting really negative press in terms of the reviews for this movie.
08:53.709 --> 08:56.952
[SPEAKER_01]: First Star Wars movie released in theaters in I think
09:01.525 --> 09:03.287
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have not gone on seeing it myself.
09:03.427 --> 09:10.873
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm speaking very second hand here, but the comments are a lot about how it just feels like the show.
09:11.413 --> 09:16.918
[SPEAKER_01]: It's more of like a serial, it almost feels like four episodes of the show just kind of mashed together.
09:19.220 --> 09:25.205
[SPEAKER_01]: If that was the case for Rick and Morty movie, I don't know that I'd be super fired up about it.
09:25.745 --> 09:26.266
[SPEAKER_01]: What I do know is,
09:28.202 --> 09:40.524
[SPEAKER_01]: feature films usually have a somewhat larger, sometimes substantially larger budget, then a 20, 22 minute episode of a TV show.
09:41.605 --> 09:46.026
[SPEAKER_01]: The amount of time that they have to work on these films is usually a little bit longer.
09:46.606 --> 09:51.967
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I mean, we talked about it in our last episode, looking ahead to season nine.
09:53.567 --> 09:55.848
[SPEAKER_01]: the animation continues to look better and better.
09:56.268 --> 10:03.530
[SPEAKER_01]: So many of these episodes, the writing is really good and continues to be really good.
10:04.910 --> 10:16.574
[SPEAKER_01]: If they can take all of those things, take a high concept, something that is maybe a one-off adventure, but needs more than that 22 minutes to kind of really
10:22.125 --> 10:27.890
[SPEAKER_01]: one thing, one movie that it's not reliant on, you know, multiple episodes or anything.
10:28.290 --> 10:29.091
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it could be good.
10:29.151 --> 10:30.912
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it could be fun fans of the show.
10:31.432 --> 10:32.273
[SPEAKER_01]: Might go out and see it.
10:32.353 --> 10:37.897
[SPEAKER_01]: People that are not fans of the show may go out and try it and be exposed to Rick and Morty for the first time for better or worse.
10:38.598 --> 10:45.303
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe even people who liked the show in its early seasons, but have kind of stepped away from it.
10:45.923 --> 10:48.785
[SPEAKER_01]: maybe this is an opportunity to bring some of those folks back into it as well.
10:49.285 --> 10:53.948
[SPEAKER_01]: Does this mean that you're so awesome.
10:54.088 --> 10:55.369
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a professional optimist.
10:55.429 --> 10:56.649
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a professional optimist.
10:56.789 --> 10:57.270
[SPEAKER_01]: I always am.
10:57.690 --> 11:00.592
[SPEAKER_01]: Does this mean Ian and Harry are going to be certified movie stars now?
11:02.333 --> 11:03.634
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, I'm it.
11:03.654 --> 11:06.935
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to get their stars on the walk of fame.
11:07.996 --> 11:09.597
[SPEAKER_01]: man, man, we knew them.
11:09.777 --> 11:15.959
[SPEAKER_01]: We knew them when, uh, anyway, uh, yeah, I, I think this is exciting news.
11:15.979 --> 11:22.040
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I'm very curious what the rest of the fans, the rest of you, Unity, think about this news.
11:22.080 --> 11:26.982
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you excited about the potential for a Rick and Mori feature movie?
11:27.402 --> 11:33.784
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you going to, are you going to go out to line up for the, the midnight release like we did in the late 90s?
11:34.524 --> 11:35.385
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, that's probably
11:37.346 --> 11:39.448
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think this will get it theatrical release?
11:39.468 --> 11:42.151
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think this is like more of a direct streaming situation?
11:42.592 --> 11:42.992
[SPEAKER_01]: They got it.
11:43.032 --> 11:44.193
[SPEAKER_01]: They got to put it on the big screen.
11:44.494 --> 11:45.655
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they've got it.
11:45.675 --> 11:46.075
[SPEAKER_00]: They've got it.
11:46.916 --> 11:53.464
[SPEAKER_00]: Let us know what your thoughts are because I'm sure you're all wanting to not talk about something that is not actually developed or released yet.
11:53.984 --> 11:57.448
[SPEAKER_00]: You probably want to talk about the actual thing that you're here is not a chance.
11:57.988 --> 11:58.469
[SPEAKER_00]: Not a chance.
11:58.809 --> 12:05.252
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to talk about a supposed movie for another 30 minutes, guys.
12:05.292 --> 12:08.114
[SPEAKER_01]: Just getting last last bit of some of my pertinent news.
12:08.774 --> 12:10.355
[SPEAKER_01]: We've played this a few times.
12:10.736 --> 12:19.521
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the only upcoming event that I could find plugging in Cardone at Trificon in uncastle Connecticut.
12:20.101 --> 12:20.881
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll get something nice.
12:21.482 --> 12:21.842
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
12:21.922 --> 12:22.222
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
12:22.282 --> 12:23.423
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the first of my pertinent news.
12:27.425 --> 12:32.410
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, Harry, Ian Spencer even sent us your dates.
12:32.450 --> 12:33.671
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll plug them on the show.
12:33.831 --> 12:34.712
[SPEAKER_01]: It's it's what we look for.
12:35.473 --> 12:35.993
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
12:36.494 --> 12:45.783
[SPEAKER_01]: When we come back after this very short intermission, we will be discussing the season premiere of Rick and Morty.
12:45.823 --> 12:46.323
[SPEAKER_01]: So stick around.
12:46.343 --> 12:46.844
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll be right back.
12:55.463 --> 12:56.884
[SPEAKER_01]: such a short intermission.
12:57.164 --> 12:57.764
[SPEAKER_01]: So brief.
12:58.124 --> 13:01.965
[SPEAKER_01]: We got some popcorn so short freshing beverage so short.
13:02.106 --> 13:03.086
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how short it was.
13:03.166 --> 13:04.787
[SPEAKER_01]: It was probably very short for you to.
13:04.807 --> 13:04.907
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
13:04.987 --> 13:05.367
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
13:05.527 --> 13:06.607
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's probably like a tie.
13:06.627 --> 13:10.669
[SPEAKER_00]: There's probably like immigration and and casinos.
13:11.229 --> 13:13.190
[SPEAKER_00]: It's probably what they probably figure out.
13:14.450 --> 13:18.434
[SPEAKER_01]: We need to review the advertising we have again on the audio podcast.
13:18.454 --> 13:20.896
[SPEAKER_01]: Just to make sure we're still within our moral compass.
13:21.877 --> 13:26.080
[SPEAKER_01]: Or not, maybe we've ditched our moral compass in favor of money.
13:26.921 --> 13:27.241
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see.
13:27.261 --> 13:27.321
[SPEAKER_01]: But
13:29.583 --> 13:34.866
[SPEAKER_01]: For now, let's talk about some Rick and Morty in a segment we like to call the main thing.
13:47.156 --> 13:49.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, yes, season nine.
13:49.038 --> 13:49.618
[SPEAKER_00]: It's good.
13:49.958 --> 13:50.719
[SPEAKER_00]: We started.
13:50.739 --> 13:51.981
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the main thing.
13:52.001 --> 13:53.742
[SPEAKER_00]: Start about season nine episode one.
13:53.762 --> 13:55.184
[SPEAKER_00]: There's something about Morty.
13:55.965 --> 14:00.189
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, it aired tonight, obviously, because this is a release.
14:00.209 --> 14:03.152
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to say, and now we're happening right now.
14:03.332 --> 14:20.755
[SPEAKER_00]: We're definitely not recording on Saturday, 524, 2026 written by Albert Lundy, a long time writer for the show, directed by Douglas Einer Olson, also a long time, guest starring, Tilda Switton, and Keegan Michael Key.
14:20.855 --> 14:25.136
[SPEAKER_00]: Coming back, coming back to make making his way, making his way back downtown.
14:25.856 --> 14:28.056
[SPEAKER_00]: Arboranopsis, Travis, would you like to do the honors?
14:31.893 --> 14:33.756
[SPEAKER_01]: Morty's worried about sidepieces.
14:35.257 --> 14:39.343
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, our synopsis breaking up is hard to do.
14:41.017 --> 14:41.457
[SPEAKER_01]: sure is.
14:41.798 --> 14:44.700
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, especially when you have a bunker planet.
14:45.560 --> 14:46.281
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
14:46.961 --> 14:51.544
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I think we talked about this a little bit when we got the list of all the episode titles.
14:52.125 --> 15:01.631
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, this title reference, a reference to there's something about Mary a film, a comedic film from 1998 upon watching this episode.
15:04.591 --> 15:08.394
[SPEAKER_01]: I really feel like there's not any tie-in to the episode at all.
15:08.774 --> 15:17.160
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess, I mean, they sneak the words Rick and Morty into most of the titles, but like so it's, it's an easy replace Mary for Morty.
15:17.660 --> 15:26.427
[SPEAKER_01]: It is kind of Morty centric with the appearance of evil Morty in this episode, but yeah, there's, there's something about Morty, there's something about him.
15:27.508 --> 15:29.290
[SPEAKER_01]: The good the good one and the evil one.
15:29.310 --> 15:30.091
[SPEAKER_01]: There's something about him.
15:30.351 --> 15:38.923
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess I guess that's your connection But yeah, like some overall themes in the episode I Already talked about a little bit, but holy crap.
15:38.943 --> 15:42.227
[SPEAKER_01]: We got an evil morty episode again in a in a season premiere
15:44.430 --> 15:48.674
[SPEAKER_01]: I am extremely excited to hear what you the fans thought about this.
15:49.154 --> 15:51.636
[SPEAKER_01]: Please leave your comments, send us some messages.
15:51.716 --> 15:54.618
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to talk about this a ton in our next episode.
15:56.019 --> 16:02.505
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I don't know what were your thoughts when you immediately saw that it was evil morty in that cold.
16:03.130 --> 16:06.292
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I thought, hey, here we go.
16:06.452 --> 16:12.255
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a great way to start a season that is getting hyped up, right?
16:12.416 --> 16:23.182
[SPEAKER_00]: There's been lots of talk about, even in the middle of season eight, rumours, murmurs, comments about how great season nine is going to be.
16:25.423 --> 16:29.786
[SPEAKER_00]: And so starting with a bang, essentially with Rick,
16:31.082 --> 16:33.583
[SPEAKER_00]: doing a little side action with with Evil Morty.
16:34.183 --> 16:38.045
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure he's getting blackmailed for the most part, but he's still doing it, right?
16:38.125 --> 16:42.246
[SPEAKER_00]: And keeping it from, I don't think Morty.
16:42.426 --> 16:45.487
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't seem like he's hating all of it, right?
16:45.828 --> 16:46.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
16:46.068 --> 16:46.288
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
16:46.968 --> 16:49.069
[SPEAKER_01]: Now obviously, again, against his will.
16:49.229 --> 16:54.751
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I think the reintroduction of Evil Morty
17:00.786 --> 17:02.647
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, guest characters.
17:02.667 --> 17:07.010
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess, you know, like, uh, I mean, reoccurring characters for sure.
17:07.871 --> 17:15.636
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and, and somebody that fans tend to talk a lot about in the office, now we've gotten episodes with evil Morty.
17:16.296 --> 17:19.839
[SPEAKER_01]: Now every couple of seasons, I feel like he's, he's made an appearance.
17:20.891 --> 17:32.718
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, my watch is looking that up apparently as well, uh, but I think this is, uh, this is a good way to kind of bring him back in in a new light as well.
17:33.239 --> 17:34.920
[SPEAKER_01]: Still as evil as ever.
17:35.260 --> 17:35.520
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
17:35.560 --> 17:40.243
[SPEAKER_01]: But, uh, maybe, maybe officially closing the book on him.
17:41.535 --> 17:54.701
[SPEAKER_01]: maybe not, but we'll see, but there's some, there's some finality to evil Morty in this that if they choose to never bring him back, there's explanation as to why.
17:55.338 --> 17:55.738
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
17:55.958 --> 17:57.119
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
17:57.559 --> 18:00.781
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he's gone for for the long haul.
18:01.201 --> 18:02.502
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he's gone forever.
18:04.342 --> 18:07.304
[SPEAKER_00]: He's he's he's widely enough to get out of situations.
18:08.464 --> 18:14.647
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do think but I do think there is some other finality of closing some threads down.
18:14.948 --> 18:15.148
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
18:15.268 --> 18:15.608
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
18:15.848 --> 18:16.068
[SPEAKER_00]: Cool.
18:16.088 --> 18:19.310
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't have to worry about if this is ever going to be a factor again.
18:20.050 --> 18:22.892
[SPEAKER_00]: So the Omega device being being the key part of that,
18:24.352 --> 18:41.227
[SPEAKER_00]: Rick going in there and sabotaging it when he said that they was taking a dump to make room for waffles I just Getting really like putting the omega device in the moke and omega device so that Arases it from every possible reality.
18:42.167 --> 18:47.352
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that was a great way like a great way to like finishing that off
18:48.877 --> 18:51.078
[SPEAKER_00]: And we were like, yeah, it was a big deal.
18:51.318 --> 18:51.799
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go on.
18:52.079 --> 18:52.859
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't care about it anymore.
18:53.399 --> 18:54.240
[SPEAKER_01]: We can't care about it.
18:54.400 --> 18:58.822
[SPEAKER_01]: And succinctly, like, very, like, it's not ham-fisted.
18:58.862 --> 19:04.925
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not like this contrived, like, they're like, yeah, we just had it destroyed itself.
19:05.666 --> 19:08.447
[SPEAKER_01]: And now it can exist in any dimension.
19:08.807 --> 19:11.689
[SPEAKER_01]: So the device itself,
19:13.024 --> 19:37.955
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... slow mobius uh... who else who else did we lose to that the uh... make it a vice but yeah there they're gone even more to he's in time jail but uh... you know maybe he can escape from time time person we'll see so anyway of course evil more to uh... being an overarching theme and we'll talk more about him yeah as we get into some of our favorite bits and best of works parts um...
19:38.712 --> 19:48.454
[SPEAKER_01]: there's some other themes if we're really like peel back the layers here and and one of the big ones is the idea of just like jealousy, right?
19:49.494 --> 20:00.256
[SPEAKER_01]: Morty being jealous of Rick and evil Morty hanging out or doing anything together without him and this sudden
20:09.479 --> 20:16.264
[SPEAKER_01]: So that, so like that jealousy is existing, but then also do you guys, you guys have conversations, do you guys have conversations?
20:16.704 --> 20:18.065
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, do you want these adventures?
20:19.426 --> 20:20.066
[SPEAKER_00]: No, yes.
20:20.987 --> 20:22.048
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but it's how we talk.
20:22.108 --> 20:23.048
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all physics stuff.
20:23.669 --> 20:25.130
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all boring physics stuff.
20:25.330 --> 20:27.592
[SPEAKER_00]: It's boring physics stuff.
20:27.792 --> 20:36.979
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like, but then on the flip side, there's as much as evil Morty wants to pretend that it's not the case.
20:37.997 --> 20:48.962
[SPEAKER_01]: There is almost this level of jealousy for evil Morty where he sees the partnership, the relationship that Rick has with Morty.
20:50.062 --> 20:53.664
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's like, I want that.
20:53.724 --> 20:55.065
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I want that partnership.
20:55.125 --> 20:55.705
[SPEAKER_01]: I want that.
20:56.025 --> 21:01.087
[SPEAKER_01]: Even if I have to force it, even if I have to hold Rick hostage in order to get it.
21:02.708 --> 21:06.370
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like he kind of wants some aspect of that connection.
21:07.730 --> 21:14.256
[SPEAKER_01]: when it doesn't go as way and it blows up in his face and is deleted from all existence.
21:15.898 --> 21:19.201
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he lashes out and fights back.
21:19.541 --> 21:27.188
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think definitely some jealousy weaved throughout this episode on a couple different levels.
21:27.688 --> 21:38.316
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say so in your point about even if he has to force it, I think I think of their restaurant time where he's ordering milkshakes, right?
21:38.336 --> 21:40.578
[SPEAKER_00]: They're spending time together at Dynes.
21:42.216 --> 21:56.771
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a name of the restaurant and hey, you know we should do this more we should do this more often after adventures or after we we do stuff right and it's so performative too right because it's not like
21:57.832 --> 22:02.716
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not like he's just acting this way because that's who Evil Morty is.
22:02.776 --> 22:16.067
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like he's he's putting on a front a show in front of Morty to be like, yeah, look at how me and your grandpa, which is actually his grandpa.
22:16.127 --> 22:16.407
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
22:17.829 --> 22:19.070
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't, I don't know.
22:19.090 --> 22:20.812
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, no, I don't remember.
22:21.673 --> 22:23.515
[SPEAKER_01]: It's his de facto grandpa.
22:24.196 --> 22:35.587
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, like, look at how well we get along, look at how exciting and amazing our adventures are, versus whatever it is that you guys have.
22:35.908 --> 22:37.810
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, thank you for that.
22:38.825 --> 22:48.154
[SPEAKER_00]: When he destroyed the CFC, which he didn't really, which is something we, we should talk about eventually.
22:48.768 --> 22:51.050
[SPEAKER_01]: he escaped the central finance.
22:51.070 --> 22:51.411
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
22:51.511 --> 22:51.771
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
22:51.831 --> 22:52.972
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought him entirely.
22:52.992 --> 22:53.272
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
22:53.492 --> 22:54.393
[SPEAKER_00]: Momentarily.
22:54.473 --> 22:56.355
[SPEAKER_01]: We for a long time thought he had destroyed it.
22:56.555 --> 22:57.216
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
22:57.656 --> 22:59.438
[SPEAKER_01]: He removed himself from it.
22:59.498 --> 22:59.698
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
23:00.159 --> 23:07.606
[SPEAKER_00]: So so that episode he leaves he walks through the green portal for the first time and he or he's like,
23:13.443 --> 23:20.979
[SPEAKER_00]: To now this episode where it's clear that he is to your point performative being performative.
23:22.316 --> 23:26.239
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't have, he doesn't need Rick to do all these things by himself.
23:26.379 --> 23:29.040
[SPEAKER_00]: He could figure, to defeat the collector.
23:29.100 --> 23:33.023
[SPEAKER_00]: He could do it himself, but he's not, he's not doing it.
23:33.363 --> 23:35.425
[SPEAKER_00]: He wants companionship.
23:35.945 --> 23:40.588
[SPEAKER_00]: He put himself, he's alienated himself from everything.
23:41.489 --> 23:43.910
[SPEAKER_00]: Set himself into a world of nothing on those own.
23:44.551 --> 23:47.933
[SPEAKER_00]: Now he's like, I needed to have adventures with my grandpa.
23:52.076 --> 24:05.993
[SPEAKER_01]: I think in the root structures of the show true for all morties right morties want to be with a Rick right if you if you're out in morty town with a bunch of rickless morties.
24:06.849 --> 24:09.930
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they're just gonna cause all kinds of problems.
24:10.471 --> 24:21.856
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, your point kind of leads me into what is, I think another overarching theme throughout this episode, the idea of that sort of, it's the only at the top, right?
24:22.336 --> 24:24.938
[SPEAKER_01]: You have Rick who is,
24:26.219 --> 24:43.195
[SPEAKER_01]: Arguably, maybe definitively at this point, the smartest person in the multiverse with evil Morty, who is a peer in that regard, both super powerful, both incredibly smart, and
24:45.676 --> 24:51.919
[SPEAKER_01]: As we've seen throughout the show up to this point, incredibly lonely at times, right?
24:52.479 --> 24:56.861
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't have people in their lives that they are really connected to.
24:56.901 --> 25:09.306
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's sort of been the theme through the last several seasons with Rick is trying to build that connection with his family, not being able to maintain relationships, like
25:15.449 --> 25:22.220
[SPEAKER_01]: that that one, you know, real relationship that drives everything else that he's doing.
25:23.041 --> 25:24.383
[SPEAKER_01]: But Morty's dumb.
25:26.113 --> 25:41.938
[SPEAKER_01]: Like Rick is incredibly smart and anybody that has had a conversation with someone at a vastly different, like IQ than you, higher or lower, that can be challenging, right?
25:41.978 --> 25:49.941
[SPEAKER_01]: That can be difficult to, and so, you know, then you take evil Morty who's also incredibly smart but also incredibly alone.
25:50.801 --> 26:13.591
[SPEAKER_01]: And now here's a peer who even if you have to force that interaction, they can talk about weird chemistry stuff on the way to using their lasers and, you know, rocket boots and nanobots to take down an ominous, you know, world eating, you know, collective or whatever whatever it is.
26:16.752 --> 26:27.944
[SPEAKER_01]: that desire for companionship, even at the base level, they should not work together.
26:34.270 --> 26:39.893
[SPEAKER_00]: It's more of a competitive type of relationship than it is a collaborative relationship.
26:39.933 --> 26:42.874
[SPEAKER_00]: And I say collaborative loosely when it comes to Rick and Morty.
26:43.494 --> 26:57.460
[SPEAKER_00]: Because it's Rick mostly with Morty being there as a weight or an anchor bouncing around in a space suit and dropping in his protective coating.
27:01.502 --> 27:04.903
[SPEAKER_00]: uh, like planting these devices, what would charges?
27:05.203 --> 27:05.703
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, charges.
27:05.723 --> 27:06.163
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
27:06.824 --> 27:07.184
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
27:07.364 --> 27:07.764
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
27:08.044 --> 27:08.344
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
27:08.644 --> 27:09.104
[SPEAKER_00]: He's there.
27:09.264 --> 27:12.205
[SPEAKER_00]: He's, they, they do, they do things together.
27:12.265 --> 27:18.627
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably, when I, what I'll say is Morty is, is more of a chaotic kind of.
27:20.579 --> 27:41.740
[SPEAKER_00]: aspect to to Rick right it's it's it's volatile it's like who knows what it's going to happen with when when worries around is he going to mess up is he going to be competent I can go it could go many different ways with the evil morning it's going to be fairly consistent both of them are are competent and they're they're both like
27:42.940 --> 27:59.551
[SPEAKER_00]: trying to outdo each other as they're as they're like as they're fighting the collective like they're trying to outdo each other at the fight at the end of the episode they're just one uping each other consistently, which one of those is my favorite bits.
27:59.611 --> 28:00.512
[SPEAKER_00]: Well we'll talk about that.
28:02.093 --> 28:04.415
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah like I think
28:06.375 --> 28:23.541
[SPEAKER_00]: Rick prefers obviously no I don't think I know Rick prefers our our Morty because it is a relationship that has has grown there to get there and they've built that connection those that bond has been reinforced over time.
28:24.141 --> 28:41.186
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's interesting that that Morty still has to like check it throughout this episode and be like you promise you like me more than evil Morty like are you like are you sure and and Rick's just annoyed with it is like yeah and now drop it like that's.
28:41.686 --> 28:42.207
[SPEAKER_01]: It's dumb.
28:42.487 --> 28:45.330
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't want to, I didn't want to be hanging out with him.
28:45.350 --> 28:46.292
[SPEAKER_01]: He was forcing me to.
28:46.652 --> 28:47.413
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
28:47.553 --> 28:48.154
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah.
28:48.194 --> 28:48.534
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
28:48.915 --> 28:53.641
[SPEAKER_01]: I think overall fantastic episode really enjoyed watching it.
28:53.821 --> 28:58.987
[SPEAKER_01]: The first time I thought it was fantastic, rewatching it again, I thought.
28:59.828 --> 29:01.149
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it still stands up.
29:01.569 --> 29:13.117
[SPEAKER_01]: I think even when you when you get past and you know that evil morties in the episode and that that surprise that shock factor has gone, it's still a great episode.
29:13.137 --> 29:22.043
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the action, like the visuals of this, maybe carry the episode a little bit more than
29:24.124 --> 29:31.651
[SPEAKER_01]: like the plot necessarily, like I feel like the story, the story itself is kind of straightforward.
29:32.652 --> 29:40.019
[SPEAKER_01]: But the visuals, the action, and just sort of like the interaction and banter.
29:40.039 --> 29:43.382
[SPEAKER_01]: There's some hilarious gags in this as well.
29:43.803 --> 29:48.327
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, overall, I think it's a little bit straightforward, but I still really enjoyed the episode.
29:48.447 --> 29:49.689
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.
29:49.929 --> 29:52.332
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.
29:52.533 --> 29:54.055
[SPEAKER_00]: I've watched it a few times.
29:54.715 --> 29:57.319
[SPEAKER_00]: The action is, it's action packed.
29:57.499 --> 29:58.761
[SPEAKER_00]: The art is incredible.
29:59.021 --> 30:00.023
[SPEAKER_00]: The art direction.
30:00.043 --> 30:01.344
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's so much.
30:01.925 --> 30:04.288
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so many scenes that you want to.
30:05.612 --> 30:15.835
[SPEAKER_00]: posit, so you can see all the stuff in the background, all the different design choices that they did for the various technologies, soup, super, super cool.
30:16.235 --> 30:24.418
[SPEAKER_00]: One thing I before I forget, the other thing I want to mention about Evil Morty is talk about the diner scene, just how
30:25.498 --> 30:47.598
[SPEAKER_00]: like devolved he is he went to be so petty like petty on the Citadel's one thing right he became he became president Morty he's petty but it's like it's it's come from place like I've won I did I've all these plans have been in place I've moved all the chess pieces where they need to go and now I've won
30:49.067 --> 30:51.490
[SPEAKER_00]: he's not playing chess anymore in this episode.
30:51.590 --> 30:54.373
[SPEAKER_00]: He's he's just like, I don't know.
30:54.393 --> 30:56.275
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll just guess I'm just coming and asshole.
30:56.555 --> 30:57.596
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to be a dick.
30:57.776 --> 31:03.663
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm going to order two milkshakes and then keep both of them for myself.
31:03.703 --> 31:10.430
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, his scheming went from becoming president to ordering two milkshakes and then drinking them both.
31:11.585 --> 31:11.765
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
31:12.205 --> 31:12.526
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
31:13.646 --> 31:17.648
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a terrific point.
31:17.748 --> 31:21.971
[SPEAKER_01]: And I guess let's highlight some of our favorite bits from this episode.
31:23.312 --> 31:24.132
[SPEAKER_01]: What of mine?
31:24.152 --> 31:28.334
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's the first one that I wrote down is from that diner scene.
31:28.394 --> 31:28.955
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just
31:35.098 --> 31:57.972
[SPEAKER_01]: evil mortise says one last quip and then his his face kind of does like a little nod like type thing um and it's it's evil morty winking under the eye patch uh and then having to explain that he winked and and the animation is terrific because it's definitely the like the motion that your head would do for a wink
31:59.197 --> 32:01.177
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's no, there's no wink.
32:01.758 --> 32:04.498
[SPEAKER_01]: And it just cracked every time I see it.
32:04.558 --> 32:06.538
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was great.
32:06.779 --> 32:08.339
[SPEAKER_00]: We have bunker dimension here.
32:08.359 --> 32:11.740
[SPEAKER_00]: I love bunker dimension.
32:11.760 --> 32:16.280
[SPEAKER_01]: I just love, there's so many layers to it.
32:16.360 --> 32:19.821
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that for one, a bunker dimension exists.
32:20.401 --> 32:25.922
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if Rick is freaked out enough that somebody's coming after him,
32:28.963 --> 32:39.949
[SPEAKER_01]: in the garage that puts the entire house through a portal and drops it in a dimension that is a bunker, right, that house is super protected.
32:40.370 --> 32:49.515
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything around them, but like just that moment where he's like, we got to go Morty like we got to run like they got he might be coming after us.
32:49.915 --> 33:11.403
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, Bunker dementia, and he's just like completely spinning out and then that leads into like the explanation a little bit of like a catch up on who evil Morty is just in case maybe somebody's new that's watching for the first time and doesn't know all the lore of who he is or what he's capable of.
33:12.223 --> 33:13.903
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that they have bunker burgers.
33:14.223 --> 33:17.485
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a restaurant like a fast food restaurant called bunker burgers.
33:17.605 --> 33:18.385
[SPEAKER_01]: I have access to.
33:18.865 --> 33:29.649
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the joke of, the humor of a place that delivers called Bunkerburgers in a place it's supposed to be locked down.
33:29.669 --> 33:31.850
[SPEAKER_00]: They're getting delivery.
33:33.251 --> 33:37.513
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, if the whole dimension's locked down, like, there's, there's room to move around in there.
33:37.553 --> 33:39.593
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess that's true.
33:39.633 --> 33:42.154
[SPEAKER_01]: That's true bunker gene needs a place to eat.
33:42.395 --> 33:42.795
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
33:42.835 --> 33:48.057
[SPEAKER_00]: Wait, was was he part of the bunker dimension or is like a Navy seal?
33:49.137 --> 34:14.359
[SPEAKER_00]: um yeah what what what what I like when they're going to the bunker dimension right after they leave the diner and they're going through the Jackson Pollock dimension he's like yeah I fucked fucking a piece of shit and just it's just how happy it is it's just like so manic and it's just we're rid of him we got rid of him yeah I just love his excitement in that is voice
34:15.945 --> 34:24.058
[SPEAKER_01]: and the shift right the shift from the whole first maybe ten minutes of the episode where Rick is
34:25.172 --> 34:26.433
[SPEAKER_01]: somewhat more complacent.
34:26.813 --> 34:33.239
[SPEAKER_01]: He's, uh, so, so due to a little bit like he's, he's, he's not combative.
34:33.499 --> 34:50.233
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not, he's very much just going along and almost just like, please can we just get through this so that we can be done, not, not resistant in any way, shape or form, and then immediately once they're out of there, he's like, yeah!
34:52.534 --> 35:09.944
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it was all just an act on his part to kind of catch Evil Morty off guard and and then he just leaves the polaroid of his like mooting the camera just as as a final, you know, I did.
35:10.284 --> 35:11.185
[SPEAKER_00]: I did laugh.
35:11.385 --> 35:13.566
[SPEAKER_00]: I do laugh out loud when Evil Morty says,
35:16.952 --> 35:36.742
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the delivery of how as as they and there's so many good moments in that final fight scene sequence between Rick and evil Morty but there's a point where it looks like evil Morty has won he's decapitated Rick
35:37.862 --> 35:41.363
[SPEAKER_01]: He's pulled his brain out of a skull.
35:41.843 --> 35:42.903
[SPEAKER_01]: He's walking with it.
35:43.504 --> 35:48.805
[SPEAKER_01]: And then all of a sudden you hear this like old timey cartoon sounded like.
35:48.845 --> 35:52.566
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like, and Rick's legs are running by themselves.
35:53.126 --> 36:04.729
[SPEAKER_01]: And then like part his brain like catapults into a hinged top of his head and and then he's like, puts like part of him back together and it's like,
36:05.829 --> 36:14.153
[SPEAKER_01]: I see quits of all these like really old like Tom and Jerry Looney Tunes type sound effects and that are completely out of left field.
36:14.893 --> 36:17.314
[SPEAKER_01]: But they just crack me up every time I see him.
36:17.334 --> 36:18.575
[SPEAKER_01]: That was great.
36:18.775 --> 36:19.235
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
36:19.335 --> 36:23.817
[SPEAKER_00]: If you had not put that one on there for a favorite bits, I would have done it.
36:25.037 --> 36:36.801
[SPEAKER_00]: I do like all the technology that is is going on again, like the gadgets, the the the the the prop design of of all the stuff that's going on so so cool.
36:37.081 --> 36:40.823
[SPEAKER_00]: I do like when the lava evil Morty
36:41.903 --> 36:50.488
[SPEAKER_00]: Hardens the lava around Rick in a circle and then he break he busts out of it and he's like in he looks like a robot He kind of looks like I was like is it?
36:50.568 --> 36:51.128
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that a term?
36:51.149 --> 36:54.891
[SPEAKER_01]: He looks like a he looks like a terminator It looks like a terminator reference.
36:54.971 --> 36:59.854
[SPEAKER_01]: I definitely thought of you when I thought that's like this looks like a straight up like
37:01.188 --> 37:04.009
[SPEAKER_01]: like Terminator skeleton of Rick.
37:05.329 --> 37:06.210
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, that was really good.
37:06.230 --> 37:09.331
[SPEAKER_01]: He had some extra like like wires and stuff like that.
37:09.771 --> 37:21.274
[SPEAKER_01]: Wires and stuff, yeah, but it's more like a tool and from this dark fate than the original surveyers, but you know, all right, let's not get overly specific because you know, people think we're weird enough.
37:21.935 --> 37:22.895
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that was really good.
37:23.235 --> 37:28.637
[SPEAKER_01]: I really love the scene where they're just like in the street, like screaming at each other.
37:29.517 --> 37:49.307
[SPEAKER_01]: And like they get like close ups on their faces and their veins are like popping out and then Morty walks up like what's going on and Rick's like our nato bots are killing each other and then and there's like no visible thing and then Morty just like sticks his finger out and the tip of his fingers starts to like kind of cut away.
37:51.169 --> 37:54.272
[SPEAKER_01]: like just just that idea is hilarious.
37:54.372 --> 37:57.156
[SPEAKER_01]: So I have so many good things from from that sequel.
37:57.176 --> 37:57.416
[SPEAKER_00]: Great.
37:57.936 --> 38:02.462
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, see, uh, the new pool that we have, we have the new pool.
38:02.482 --> 38:02.842
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
38:03.763 --> 38:05.165
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen people on Reddit.
38:05.205 --> 38:06.827
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, when did they get a pool?
38:08.623 --> 38:15.567
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was what this comment originally said in the show notes is like Morty's walkin through the house.
38:15.607 --> 38:25.152
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got his 7-11 looks like a slurpee and and and and Jerry's out there port with the hose put in water in the pool.
38:25.192 --> 38:29.115
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like Beth is maybe, you know, getting ready to go first swim or something.
38:29.515 --> 38:31.436
[SPEAKER_01]: And my first thought is, why the heck take it a pool?
38:32.497 --> 38:32.977
[SPEAKER_01]: And then
38:34.965 --> 38:46.333
[SPEAKER_01]: A second later when Morty is in the garage talking to Rick and he says something about 7-11 and Rick is clearly not paying attention to say, yeah, yeah, I know the new pool's cool, Morty.
38:47.934 --> 38:48.655
[SPEAKER_00]: And then that's it.
38:49.515 --> 38:55.439
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, that is the end of conversation or discussion about this pool.
38:56.100 --> 38:58.902
[SPEAKER_01]: So my my question is,
39:00.180 --> 39:07.785
[SPEAKER_01]: will this pool matter later, because of how much of a throw away it is in this episode.
39:07.905 --> 39:14.749
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, is it no, I'm giving the writers a lot of credit, but they've earned it, they deserve it.
39:15.849 --> 39:20.352
[SPEAKER_01]: Is there something that's going to happen six episodes, 10 episodes from now,
39:21.733 --> 39:43.638
[SPEAKER_01]: that like the pool is super important or the pool was like had to happen, but like they're just like oh yeah by the way there's a pool now and then we're going to we're it's going to have a pay off episodes down the line I hope there are some lost fan writers in that in that room and we get an entire episode.
39:44.895 --> 39:49.396
[SPEAKER_00]: of Jack's tattoo or or the swimming pool.
39:49.616 --> 39:53.077
[SPEAKER_01]: The swimming pool, the pool, the pool backstory episode.
39:53.837 --> 40:01.299
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, an area in Beth trying to pick out, you know, tile colors like like we go with the straight rectangle.
40:01.379 --> 40:03.740
[SPEAKER_01]: Do we do the the world pool?
40:03.820 --> 40:04.420
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
40:04.460 --> 40:08.261
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, talking to different contractors like how much is it going to cost?
40:08.281 --> 40:11.781
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you know like do we have to pull the permits or are you going to pull the permits
40:14.566 --> 40:28.250
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I think it's important to note that the backyard where this pool is should be the same backyard where they buried the bodies of all of the Smith family from another dimension.
40:28.270 --> 40:29.271
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, uh-huh.
40:29.911 --> 40:31.971
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but, but that was, that was that that current.
40:31.991 --> 40:33.552
[SPEAKER_00]: That was along the fence line.
40:33.632 --> 40:36.453
[SPEAKER_00]: No, the pools, it far enough away from the fence line.
40:36.733 --> 40:37.393
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's, I think.
40:37.573 --> 40:37.973
[SPEAKER_01]: That's fair.
40:38.793 --> 40:40.454
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, gotta be smart or smart.
40:40.474 --> 40:47.736
[SPEAKER_00]: But we should put that pool or it's going to be like the end of Poltergeist we're like the skeletons pop up during a rainstorm.
40:49.817 --> 40:51.098
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I'm will tell.
40:51.158 --> 40:51.518
[SPEAKER_01]: Hold time.
40:51.538 --> 40:52.058
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see.
40:52.258 --> 40:54.799
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll have to wait and see what happens in the next episode.
40:54.819 --> 40:55.179
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
40:56.179 --> 40:58.480
[SPEAKER_00]: Real quick, so they're showing the pool.
40:58.740 --> 41:00.461
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me just throw one of my favorite bits out.
41:00.581 --> 41:01.561
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen Chicago in
41:07.863 --> 41:13.167
[SPEAKER_00]: them start them getting the licensing for Saturday and a park by Chicago.
41:13.187 --> 41:15.169
[SPEAKER_00]: I like a good job.
41:15.429 --> 41:18.231
[SPEAKER_00]: Good job getting some Chicago on Rick and Morty.
41:18.391 --> 41:19.191
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a fan.
41:19.732 --> 41:20.172
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all.
41:20.372 --> 41:21.393
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my favorite bit on that.
41:21.413 --> 41:24.355
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to get we got to get like Ryan Elder credit right.
41:24.435 --> 41:25.376
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure he is involved.
41:25.636 --> 41:25.976
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
41:26.617 --> 41:48.534
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, and I'll say about like all of the, the, the, the themes of the Rick and Morty action scenes, all of that stuff is going on during the fight with against the collective with more evil Morty and Rick, which I think before we get in, that is in our, our best and worst parts aspect of it.
41:48.774 --> 41:52.136
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's one more favorite bit, which is Morty's protective suit before
41:54.478 --> 41:54.918
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no.
41:54.958 --> 41:56.299
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I think it's hilarious.
41:57.960 --> 41:59.760
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that they set it up in the beginning.
41:59.801 --> 42:06.103
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, Morty just getting the suit like you're not, you're not up to speed for what's about to happen.
42:06.203 --> 42:09.225
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to put a literal protective bubble around you.
42:09.245 --> 42:13.387
[SPEAKER_01]: That, that in and of itself is great.
42:14.047 --> 42:27.332
[SPEAKER_01]: the fact that they use it later to quickly do like an Indiana Jones pull out the gun against the sword fighter type situation where both morties are like he's the real one.
42:27.492 --> 42:36.295
[SPEAKER_01]: No, he's the real one and Rick just inflates the suit and then evil more he's like oh shit like I didn't think about the protectors suit.
42:36.655 --> 42:40.217
[SPEAKER_01]: So the way that it pays off later as well, I thought was was just
42:41.177 --> 42:57.064
[SPEAKER_00]: I also did like Rick preparing the family for evil Morty and in like here, take these pills, you know, it'll give you a protective shell, but only a couple shots because protective gloop doesn't grow grow in trees.
42:57.584 --> 43:02.846
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's only so potent and have a slower ready.
43:02.866 --> 43:06.648
[SPEAKER_00]: Just think, oh, dad, oh, dad, come on.
43:08.971 --> 43:09.452
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
43:09.592 --> 43:13.676
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about our best and worst parts from this episode.
43:14.817 --> 43:23.606
[SPEAKER_01]: We've talked about this a bunch already, but I really do think the two main action scenes and I think there was a lot of like,
43:25.027 --> 43:35.653
[SPEAKER_01]: action-driven storytelling throughout this episode, fighting the collective, and then, of course, Rick versus Evil Morty on the bunker dimension, bunker planet.
43:36.914 --> 43:39.515
[SPEAKER_01]: I just really, I thought that sequence was really well done.
43:39.535 --> 43:45.519
[SPEAKER_01]: I credit the directors, the animators for executing it really
43:52.563 --> 43:55.984
[SPEAKER_01]: He's, I didn't get lost in any of it like that makes sense.
43:56.004 --> 43:56.284
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
43:56.304 --> 44:06.846
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it wasn't moving too fast or something to or what's going on, it was just really, really well executed and fun and felt like good action scenes.
44:06.926 --> 44:12.728
[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't, you know, especially for like an animated show like Rick and Morty, it's really good stuff.
44:12.748 --> 44:13.028
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
44:13.048 --> 44:13.468
[SPEAKER_01]: What did you think?
44:14.649 --> 44:15.069
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
44:15.089 --> 44:22.153
[SPEAKER_00]: I liked the fact that evil morties, yellow beams kept crossing with the green portal beams of Rick.
44:22.634 --> 44:30.479
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, from a, from a color aspect of it, really enjoy that those complementary colors.
44:31.019 --> 44:32.180
[SPEAKER_00]: I think those are complementary colors.
44:32.220 --> 44:32.540
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
44:32.700 --> 44:33.040
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
44:33.060 --> 44:33.401
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not an
44:42.746 --> 44:47.529
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know you you a green is made up of yellow.
44:47.710 --> 44:48.670
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's complementary.
44:48.690 --> 44:52.353
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, anyway, let's move on.
44:52.373 --> 44:55.776
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
44:55.976 --> 44:57.337
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, what else?
44:57.397 --> 45:02.300
[SPEAKER_00]: We talked about Rick thwarting you one more piece plan by feeding your mega device into itself.
45:03.301 --> 45:07.985
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not that was incredibly clever to get rid of it, right?
45:11.407 --> 45:34.664
[SPEAKER_00]: Something that the season nine reviews that we reviewed talked about were bringing back other characters lesser known characters from from season before so the return of the time police was was a thing that I wasn't expecting to happen what a great way to bring them back in just I know we talked a little bit about
45:35.665 --> 45:41.489
[SPEAKER_01]: in that last episode about some of the returning characters coming back and obviously evil morty coming back, huge reveal.
45:41.809 --> 45:48.094
[SPEAKER_01]: But to to kind of have the long con of this whole thing be
45:50.253 --> 46:05.559
[SPEAKER_01]: trapping Morty evil Morty in in a time police situation, uh, because Rick doesn't share a lot of time travel stuff with Morty, but why would he share time travel stuff with evil Morty, right?
46:05.599 --> 46:06.420
[SPEAKER_01]: That doesn't make sense.
46:07.120 --> 46:16.064
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, unless he's planning for evil Morty to use it incorrectly and then get arrested by the time police in the
46:20.355 --> 46:23.407
[SPEAKER_01]: On its face, yeah, okay, like he uses a time travel device.
46:23.427 --> 46:24.209
[SPEAKER_01]: He stops time.
46:24.731 --> 46:26.578
[SPEAKER_01]: He gets arrested by the time police, but like.
46:28.415 --> 46:50.731
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm giving Rick the credit that the reason he knows how to manipulate time in the first place is for that outcome like that's that's the reason he did it in the first place and yeah just having a bunch of those crazy dudes that look like testicles, you know, right right it around with yeah it's it was good to see those guys again.
46:50.831 --> 47:01.717
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, right before right after Morty is getting his shit kicked out of him, even Morty's kind of shit beat out of him by the family with him just on the ground, just like the only kicking him.
47:02.538 --> 47:04.619
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that aspect of it.
47:05.679 --> 47:08.341
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, the 22nd cooldown jump it.
47:08.441 --> 47:08.741
[SPEAKER_01]: Get him.
47:11.284 --> 47:19.252
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I like the line, I want this guy booked like yesterday or whatever, which is like a thing they can do because they're time police.
47:19.393 --> 47:19.853
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
47:19.873 --> 47:21.395
[SPEAKER_01]: So you literally can't.
47:21.415 --> 47:23.697
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was great.
47:24.297 --> 47:26.900
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we have the compression algorithm on there.
47:27.521 --> 47:29.523
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm assuming this is still along our best parts.
47:30.723 --> 47:31.343
[SPEAKER_01]: Or is this a word?
47:31.383 --> 47:34.885
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I agree, like I want to credit the writers.
47:34.945 --> 47:49.332
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to credit the team for coming up with the idea of how do you, okay, you're gonna create this all-powerful like all-consuming batty, right, that they have to fight at the beginning.
47:50.293 --> 47:51.313
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's great.
47:51.633 --> 47:55.355
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, Rick and Morty are super powerful, but what do they do?
47:55.415 --> 47:56.296
[SPEAKER_01]: What is the solution?
47:56.336 --> 47:57.116
[SPEAKER_01]: What is the answer?
47:57.176 --> 47:58.297
[SPEAKER_01]: That makes sense.
47:59.418 --> 48:04.746
[SPEAKER_01]: considering what this creature is for them to actually be able to defeat it.
48:05.427 --> 48:13.499
[SPEAKER_01]: And a compression algorithm that makes it just continue to eat itself and make itself smaller and smaller all the time.
48:14.480 --> 48:14.960
[SPEAKER_01]: I loved it.
48:15.220 --> 48:16.141
[SPEAKER_01]: I absolutely loved it.
48:16.201 --> 48:23.364
[SPEAKER_01]: The fact that it turns into a little USB thumb stick at the end is just a hilarious little way to put a bow on it.
48:23.444 --> 48:29.887
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, no, I absolutely loved the resolution of that as well.
48:29.947 --> 48:36.730
[SPEAKER_01]: Not I think the character design, like the creature design with all the different faces and things was fantastic.
48:37.530 --> 48:41.312
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, and then having it lose to a compression algorithm,
48:44.493 --> 48:45.594
[SPEAKER_00]: agree that greed.
48:45.974 --> 48:50.576
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, are there are there any other things that we're missing that you wanted to bring up Travis?
48:51.857 --> 48:55.039
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm sure there are, but I can't think of any right now.
48:55.059 --> 48:55.879
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what about you.
48:55.919 --> 48:58.360
[SPEAKER_01]: Is there anything that we didn't touch on?
48:58.460 --> 48:59.501
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I think we covered a lot.
48:59.541 --> 49:01.482
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I think we are missing some stuff.
49:01.762 --> 49:04.844
[SPEAKER_00]: There's always stuff to the missing again, like behind the scenes or
49:14.855 --> 49:33.518
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... the fans uh... not just us fans but we want to hear from you the listener uh... what what what did you like about the episode where the things that we that you wish we had talked about that that you want to hear more about do you have any theories about the rest of the season let us know uh... you could do that in a few ways email instagram twitter
49:34.259 --> 49:44.043
[SPEAKER_01]: Blue sky all of those ways all the stuff we talked about the beginning you you pick you will try to find But the cool you leave a comment on Spotify.

49:46.224 --> 49:48.425
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yes, we'll.
49:48.505 --> 49:49.446
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll make some dice.
49:50.346 --> 49:51.787
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll make some custom dice
49:52.547 --> 50:09.989
[SPEAKER_00]: And on the dice, it'll say Instagram, blue sky and that way like you just roll a die and then whichever one of the lands on the dice right here, boom they're custom whichever one of the lands on that's where you leave us a comment go ahead and do that and we'll we'll have it as a Patreon perk.
50:12.485 --> 50:13.426
