Didn't realize that Hulu was taking the full-dump route with this one. 'Praps. Might like to savor the flavor instead. Their original content often drops at midnight EST, so the option of simply not going to sleep until morning might well be there for those of you that want to go the OtherDavid route.
I pretty much never click on these things... ...but last night, insomnia won. Nicely thorough and surprisingly enjoyable! This can't be the norm, can it? Jury's still out on Solar Opposites; I've only had a look at two installments so far. Is merely being a well made comedy a fault? As long as we're on the topic of the extended R&M family... View this post on Instagram danharmon Today we Zoom a special reunion table read of the Community episode in which Pierce bestows frozen sperm from his grave. The incredible Walton Goggins can’t make it so Pedro Pascal will play Pierce’s lawyer. He’s on some Disney show where Boba Fett’s in college with Yoda’s niece. In keeping with that theme, the part of Troy will be played by Lando. Yes, for real, the whole gang is back together. We got Horse Girl, we got Card Shark, we got ‘em all. I don’t know the details of when it will be available, but don’t worry about missing it, we’re doing it for you. Also streaming it live could never happen because we have to edit out @yvettenicolebrown’s rants about storming Area 51. One more magical thing about today: the script we’re reading, Cooperative Polygraphy, is by Community and Rick and Morty alum Alex Rubens, who is BACK at RaM writing on season 6. He was wearing a suit in yesterday’s Zoom session because during lunch he was attending a Zoom funeral. Not a joke. Hard to tell jokes from life these days. These are odd times but everybody that worked on the show has been feeling the love and joy from all the rookie and veteran Community fans binging the show on Netflix. I’m going to go take the first pre-table read shower of my life. Sincere love to the fans and the cast, thanks for the best pre-Cody years of my life #sixseasonsandamovie Unashamedly looking forward to this.
That explainer video was excellent. I was laughing too much to break it down as I watched the actual episode. How many times do you need to watch an episode to pick up all that?!
Love it, wait for the last two episodes. Being slightly more adult-oriented, including lots of gratuitous cartoon gore definitely isn't a fault afaic.
I've watched two Solar Opposites and I'm enjoying it so far, it certainly has a lot of potential. Starburns Industries are animating a new Freak Brothers series coming soon. I watched the promo and tbh, the only thing I was impressed with was the animation. As far as I've seen, the opinion amongst old school FFFB fans is not favourable, and i'm in agreement. The writing for the promo is pretty terrible, and the voice acting is annoying. The only voice actor that's any good, and fits the character, is Woody Harrelson. IMO its another 'property' that's been bought by people who are aiming the show at a broader, younger audience. Kinda dumbing it down, certainly not for long time fans. Oh, and arbitrarily, Fat Freddy's Cat has the voice of a black dude and the promo episode heavily features Trump, FFS. But who knows, if you haven't read many Freak Bros. comics you might enjoy it ...
Spoiler abound on the web at large - new cartoons begin airing on Sunday - but here's a nice, safe chat with Dan:
Funny, I just signed in to mention that tonight's ep was the second one ever to leave me underwhelmed on first watch; Get Schwifty took me a bit. Last week's ep, though? Maybe 22 of the greatest minutes ever televised.
I’m caught up with all but the latest episode, and I find the show fun enough to watch for 30 minutes a week; but my opinion is that the creators behind the show are so far up their own asses and believe their own hype so much that they forget they’re making a cartoon sitcom. Most of the time It’s too self aware, too meta, too bizarre for the sake of being bizarre fir it’s own good. It’s trying so hard to be smart that it feels forced, it’s trying to live up to the ridiculous hype built around it rather than subvert it and just be a good show. The show reminds me of the band TOOL and specifically their latest album- full of itself (and I love TOOL, but seriously there is only about 2 listenable tracks on “fear innoculum”) that being said the worst episode in my mind is the dragon episode. That was tough to watch.
Yeah, that Mortyplicity episode was sooo good. I dunno mate, I've always thought it was like that right from the beginning
Only chuckle I got from the Mortyplicity episode was during the wooden Jerry ending. That was due to the time cops throwback. They had mentioned after the dinosaurs, and before the dolphin people. Then as we watched the Jerry through time, at one point he's met by a dolphin person.
Oh for sure it’s been bizarre from the get go, but I feel like the creators have been upping the insanity, complexity with each successive season, and it’s… starting to be too big for it’s own britches? Flying too close to the sun? Just too crazy?
The Captain Planet part of the episode was hilarious. The orgy half of the episode was pretty stupid. Felt like one of his really old shock value youtube cartoons that I can't even get through. It's just a tv show though. There will always be episodes I hate and hopefully episodes I love. It's been that way since the beginning. This season is exactly the same. I know some people expect way too much from it. Other people are eagerly awaiting it's downfall for some reason. I don't really understand either of those mindsets. I like watching it and I hope they keep making it for a long time.
I thought she sounded familiar! Lets be real though. That whole bit was straight up taken from this old gem...
It really came full circle. Ted Turner creates Captain Planet. Turner Broadcasting creates Adult Swim. Adult Swim airs Rick & Morty. Rick & Morty spoofs Captain Planet.
