LWJ&A – Episode 215

We discuss foot fetishes; A.Ron’s trip to Florida; A.Ron fires his therapist; what lengths they’d go to in order to find ‘The One’; Nah’leans recommendations; Sony and Disney broke up and Sony got full custody of Spider-Man; the most effective way to quit your job; how to set boundaries with your partner’s family; expectations for the upcoming Star Trek, James Bond, The Matrix 4; what their ideal parents would be if they could choose; what skills Jim and A.Ron could contribute to the zombie apocalypse to fight off roving therapists. We’ve been pumped dry for content!

Pickle Me This - S02E04 – Total Rickall

Rick and the Smith family are forced into the roles of exterminators in Rick and Morty episode “Total Rickall”, as psychic parasites that spread by infecting happy memories threaten Earth. We talk catchphrases, complicated Nintendo scams, and raw Thomas the Tank Engine raps.

Pickle Me This - S02E03 – Auto Erotic Assimilation

“Auto Erotic Assimilation” is another landmark episode of Rick and Morty. It manages to be extremely funny, while tackling tough subjects such as free will, autonomy, racism, and ends with a major gut punch that never fails to land. Other things we ponder; the Smith family electric bill, the most vicious Beth v. Jerry fight thus far, and is Rick pan-sexual?

Bald Move Pulp - Harlots – 307

Harlots continues it’s back-half swoon as things continue to not make much sense, and we’re left with too few characters we genuinely care about. Sure, Lady Fitz’s impulsive kiss of Nancy was exciting, but there are two many things happening because of happenstance, chance encounters, and nothing really feels like it has consequences. There is one…

Pickle Me This - S02E02 – Mortynight Run

Morty has some troubled moral waters to navigate in Rick and Morty episode S02E02, “Mortynight Run”. Let his grandfather sell weapons to an assassin who just loves killin’, or chill with grandpa over at Blips and Chitz all day playing Roy? What ethos will eventually win out on R&M, Rick’s nihilism or Morty’s naive optimism, and what would…

Pickle Me This - S02E01 – A Rickle in Time

Morty and Summer’s indecisiveness leads to a very uncertain existence in Rick and Morty episode “A Rickle in Time”. The story is clever, the visuals a feast for the eye, and hearts are warmed by the end. Eh, if not warmed, then at least microwaved. Also, Beth surgically saves a stricken deer’s life to the beat of copyright-safe Enya.

Pickle Me This - S01E11 – Ricksy Business

Beth and Jerry take a cruise aboard the doomed steam ship Titanic in this season one finale of Rick and Morty, “Ricksy Business”. You’ll never believe this, but they’re not on the same page about enjoying their time together. Meanwhile Rick and Beth take advantage of the lack of parental oversight by throwing a pan-dimensional rager, despite the penalty for doing so being no more Rick and Morty. That leaves the Mort-man doing damage control, and I’m not saying he’s super successful, but you know, there is a season two in existence. Heck, we’ll start covering it tomorrow!

Pickle Me This - S01E10 – Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind

“Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind” multiplies the inter dimensional possibilities of Rick and Morty by infinity. That’s a lot of Ricks, and a lot of Mortys. By what measure is a Rick the “Rickest?” What does it say about that measure that the only Rick we’ve seen that approaches a decent human being is labeled…

Pickle Me This - S01E09 – Something Ricked This Way Comes

Rick does battle with the Devil in Rick and Morty episode S01E09, “Something Ricked This Way Comes”. As far as we know, Georgia was not involved, thought I do remember seeing a fiddle. Meanwhile, Jerry’s intellectual insecurity entangles him into some sketchy inner-dwarf-planet politics. As always, our initial review and episode discussion are spoiler-free for first time…

Bald Move Pulp - Harlots – 306

Margaret Wells leaves miles of burning human wreckage in her wake as she leaves the British Isles once more. We’re hoping Lucy can right her personal ship with the advice and support of Pa North, but as eleventy million people have remarked this season, her neck seems destined for the noose, and the situation with her investment in the molly house isn’t getting any less complex or fraught with peril. Things are looking so grim, Cecily and I are starting to wonder, are they wrapping up Harlots?!
