I’ve come to accept that season eight of RICK AND MORTY is going to be just okay. Yeah, there have been a few standouts, but the majority have been 😊. MORTY DADDY falls into that later group. It’s a mid episode disguised behind a great plot mechanism utilizing the MINORITY REPORT pre-cogs. However, the plot revolving around Morty could have been left in the garbage of Garbtopia, as it was so uneven.
Some of my favorite quotes this week:
- “It just says the hospital.” “Bold caller ID.”
- “It’s okay to hate your kids, Morty.”
- “You guys still read books?”

RICK AND MORTY has become the avocado toast of sophisticated Adult Swim animation. It’s overpriced and a high-calorie intake that will leave you only semi-satisfied.
It’s available on Adult Swim.
