Rick and Morty Season 9 Episode 7 Review: “MortGully, The Last Rickforest” Turns Evolution Into One of the Season’s Most Creative Adventures
After the introspective brilliance of “ErickerHead,” Rick and Morty Season 9 continues its impressive late-season run with “MortGully, The Last Rickforest.” While the episode openly borrows its foundation from environmental adventure films like FernGully, it quickly transforms that familiar premise into something unmistakably Rick and Morty. What begins as another routine resource-stealing mission soon evolves—quite literally—into a survival story spanning millions of years of evolution. Packed with bizarre comedy, ambitious animation, and surprisingly thoughtful themes about nature and cooperation, Episode…
Rick and Morty Season 9 Episode 6 Review: “ErickerHead” Is the Season’s Most Emotional and Inventive Episode Yet
After a few uneven entries, Rick and Morty Season 9 finds its strongest balance of comedy, action, and emotional storytelling in Episode 6, “ErickerHead.” What begins as one of the show’s most ridiculous premises quickly transforms into a surprisingly thoughtful exploration of Rick Sanchez’s fractured personality. Rather than relying solely on outrageous sci-fi concepts, the episode uses them to examine why Rick continues sabotaging both himself and the people closest to him. The result is an episode that feels bigger…
Rick and Morty Season 9 Episode 5 Review: “Jer Bud” Brings Back Snowball but Jerry’s Story Completely Steals the Show
Following the entertaining momentum of Episode 4, Rick and Morty Season 9 takes a nostalgic detour with “Jer Bud.” On paper, the return of Snowball—formerly Snuffles—from the beloved Season 1 episode “Lawnmower Dog” sounds like the perfect way to revisit one of the show’s earliest fan-favorite stories. Unfortunately, the nostalgia never evolves into a compelling adventure. Instead, Episode 5 ends up telling two completely different stories in terms of quality. The Snowball storyline feels surprisingly underdeveloped despite its emotional potential,…
Rick and Morty Season 9 Episode 4 Review: “A Ricker Runs Through It” Balances Absurd Comedy With Surprisingly Heartfelt Character Moments
After the martial arts chaos of “Rick Fu Hustle,” Rick and Morty returns to what it does best in “A Ricker Runs Through It.” The episode embraces an absurd science-fiction concept, layers it with escalating chaos, and quietly slips in meaningful character development beneath the jokes. While it doesn’t reach the emotional depth of Episode 2, it feels far more confident than the previous outing, thanks to excellent pacing, memorable voice performances, and a storyline that never stops raising the…
Rick and Morty Season 9 Episode 3 Review: “Rick Fu Hustle” Delivers Hilarious Martial Arts Action With Classic Rick Stubbornness
Following the emotionally heavy “Ricks Days, Seven Nights,” Rick and Morty pivots in a completely different direction with Episode 3, “Rick Fu Hustle.” Rather than looking deeper into Rick’s existential crisis, the series embraces pure absurdity, building an episode around kung fu movies, exaggerated anime-style battles, and Rick Sanchez’s legendary inability to admit when he’s wrong. While it doesn’t carry the emotional weight of Episode 2, “Rick Fu Hustle” succeeds by remembering what has always made Rick and Morty entertaining:…
Rick and Morty Season 9 Episode 2 Review: “Ricks Days, Seven Nights” Delivers the Series’ Most Heartbreaking Rick Story in Years
After a somewhat uneven season premiere, Rick and Morty Season 9 Episode 2, “Ricks Days, Seven Nights,” reminds viewers why the series remains one of television’s smartest animated shows. Instead of relying on multiversal chaos or elaborate sci-fi concepts alone, this episode turns inward, delivering a deeply personal story about Rick Sanchez’s inability to escape himself. What initially appears to be another bizarre adventure quickly reveals itself as an existential character study. The result is an episode that isn’t the…
