What A Cartoon! - Rick and Morty "Total Rickall"
Added 2018-12-31 05:01:00 +0000 UTCOooooh weeeee! We've covered Adult Swim shows in the past, so it only makes sense that we'd cover its biggest hit yet in this first year of the What A Cartoon! podcast. Thanks to a request from patron Justin Allen, we're finally taking a look at Rick and Morty: the subversive Cartoon Network creation that combines the vulgar absurdity of Justin Roiland with the dark brilliance of Dan Harmon. Though the show spawned a particularly awful fandom, amazing episodes like "Total Rickall" prove that Rick and Morty still holds up and deserves much better.

I have my own starfuckery Justin Roiland story if I may: I was also a huge GVP fan and had a submission in their 3DS animation contest (<a href="https://youtu.be/MstjfFazeoQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/MstjfFazeoQ</a> if you want to check it out). I didn't win anything but they liked it enough that I got to visit Justin's house and hang out with him and Ryan Ridley when I was visiting LA that summer. One year later I got to visit them again and they showed me the Rick and Morty pilot. They were awesome guys and I could tell right away what a hit the show was going to be. Anyways, great episode choice and podcast episode. Bob, I'd love to see your GVP contest submission if you're willing to share.

I didn't find the first episode that appealing but I found this episode genuinely really funny. Are there any other episodes you would recommend for someone starting out with this show?
