S05E09 – Forgetting Sarick Mortshall

This is definitely the first part of a two-part season finale, but it sneaks up on you thanks to a pretty engaging plot involving Rick replacing Morty with a couple of crows. Personally, I think I’d rather have seen the “Half a Paul Giamatti” episode, but I enjoyed this one nonetheless. Check out the podcast to hear our thoughts.

Invincible S01E01 & S01E08

Thanks to Brian, we’ve got another commission this week. It’s the first and last episodes of Invincible season 1. You might not expect a bookended sampling of a series to work very well, but aside from not knowing a few of the side characters, I apparently missed out on almost nothing by skipping the other 6 episodes. Join us for a discussion of this animated deconstruction of the superhero genre.

1102 – Acheron: Part II

The working title for this episode was allegedly “Garbage In, Garbage Out”, which might have been more suitable given what we thought of the episode. There are a few redeeming qualities, but they sorta painted themselves into a corner last week, then doubled down with a few unforced errors. Join us for the podcast to…

S05E08 – Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort

Here’s the continuity you’ve been looking for. We finally deal with the tragedy of Rick’s artificially preserved best friend, Birdperson in an episode loosely based on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

1021 – Diverged

Our dream of seeing AMC make an hour-long episode of “Cooking with Carol” finally comes true this week on TWD S10E21: “Diverged”. Seriously, Carol makes soup for AN ENTIRE HOUR and the episode is…  well, about as good as our Cooking with Carol Skit. A big thank you to Mysteriana for creating the Watching Dead…
