"Rick and Morty Season 5" Arguably it's Best

 

    Rick and Morty season five is where the grooves feel just that much better again. I mean just look at Rickmurai Jack, while it was preceded by one of the most random episodes involving two crows, it genuinely was one of my favourite episodes of Rick and Morty ever. I mean fans have been waiting years, for any sort of confirmation involving Evil Morty, and while not everything is confirmed yet, it's good to know that he did find a way to escape the crushing grip of Rick. I mean not everything about this episode is amazing, it is the incest baby season, and it's clear even the other Rick's never let this dimension live it down.

    I mean Amortycan Grikfitti isn't the best episode, but this season genuinely has consistently great episodes for you to enjoy. Are you saying you didn't enjoy Mr. Nimbus and his oddly flamboyant behaviour. He even mentions Diane for all you degenerates (me) interested in Rick's wife and who he was prior to become the jaded old man he is. Or what about Mortyplicity? The post-credit scene where wooden Jerry becomes a cross while Who Wants To Live Forever was fantastic, and after it aired I did put that song on because it really is that awesome. Or what about A Rickconvenient Mort, I mean the b-plot involving Rick and Summer is super annoying, but Morty and Planetina was genuinely sad.

    I mean I haven't even mentioned Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort, as of right now Memory Rick has only showed up one more time, but I'm curious if they'll do a bit with him or make him a main character sort of like Space Beth. As long as there's less selfcest I'll be fine. I mean I just listed like half of the season, yeah there I'll stand on it, this seasons great. Although I do have to admit as someone who's also a fan of Community Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion is kind of overrated because Contemporary American Poultry is just Harmon's better version on the mafia trope in pop culture media. Like it's basically the worse Rick and Morty version of the Community episode I just didn't get much from it even from the Gundam half of the episode.

    I don't know what else to say this is just one of my favourite seasons, everything is pretty much on point from the lore that they keep on slowly feeding fans on an IV drip, to the characters all having their own moments to shine, to the bits they commit to, it all just clicks. I mean of course, Incest Space Baby though. While I think it's very funny that it's named Naruto, that entire episode was just so weird. From horse machines, to the fact that Rick fucks a horse, it all feels like one of those very thinly fetish episode, Harmon's obsession with incest is frankly becoming a bit more concerning.

Final Score: 85/100

    I definitely need to go back and start rescoring these episodes, because I don't think I realized how much I enjoyed this season. I mean this has to be up there as some of the best material the show's done. It doesn't just feel like running on a treadmill like season 4 was, it genuinely felt fresh and good, I was excited to watch and complete this season, and that's kind of rare. Good job to Harmon and the team, other than giant incest baby why would you ever do that I don't get that bit at all what is your obsession with incest you weirdo?

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 1" What The Hell is This?

      Look, Danny Devito was the only reason this show had any sort of foothold in my mind. I kept on repeating I'm the trash man through many of my younger years, and frankly, after looking at the absurd number of seasons, I've always been wary of starting this sitcom. In fact, I had even given it a shot before this, but no Devito, oddly low quality and format for the time period, and just general wariness had kept me from going past the pilot. Not to mention, you watch the first episode and just ask yourself, is this kind of racist? Is it bad that I might be laughing at how completely racist these characters are? Anyways, I did manage to get past the first episode, and even managed to complete a season, and I can safely say that I now understand what people mean when they point to this show to prove that "cancel culture has not ruined comedy". I mean in only seven episodes, the show decides to deal with racism, gay people, abortion, cancer, underage drinking, a litt

"System Of A Down - Toxicity" Stick it Out for the Second Half

      I have in fact tried listening to this album before. I remember Anthony Fantano saying he really loved Toxicity , so I decided to put on Prison Song  at 12 pm, before promptly realizing this is exactly the kind of music I'd rather not listen to going to sleep, and that the song was really on the nose. Other than that I have absolutely no prior experience with System Of A Down other than Chop Suey!  which is a lovely song that Jeff Rosenstock continues to play before every single one of his shows (thankfully). So I suppose I won't pretend to deliberate further because I'm not particularly a big metalhead either, so I doubt any knowledge I might impart would be useful. So without further ado, my track-by-track review. Toxicity - System Of A Down Prison Song  - 55/100 While the chorus and the song in general goes pretty hard, I have to say just the whole delivery of the verses is really holding this song back. Well other than the fact that it's pretty much just them

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 2"

      To me, Danny Devito was always It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia . Not because I was actually a big fan of him, but rather because he's so unique, with the way he looks and his general stature, I was half expecting him to steal the show and constantly be doing these feats of physical comedy. But he didn't, and I suppose that's on me, after all everyone in this TV show is supposed to be an asshole, so did I really expect him to be any different? I guess I just have this perception of him as this nice old man from Matilda but honestly at first his appearance in this show was just really jarring to me. He frankly looks younger than you'd think he is, though I suppose that's because of the age of the show, and him being framed as the father to Dee and Dennis took some getting used to for me. In spite of all that, I'd say by the end of this season Devito had grown on me, and frankly him and his hijinks are a welcome addition to help round out this cast.
