RICK AND MORTY – SEASON 8 REVIEW
Since Rick and Morty debuted in 2013 (yes, it’s really been that long), it has grown from an absurd sci-fi comedy into a layered, multiverse-spanning saga full of emotional depth, dark humor, and some surprisingly tight continuity. Rick has evolved from a detached god-complex genius to a man haunted by his past, and Morty has gone from a naïve sidekick into a self-aware, emotionally driven young hero in his own right. With the collapse of the Central Finite Curve, Rick Prime, and Evil Morty’s major shakeups behind us, Season 8 begins in the aftermath — Rick’s long-standing quest for vengeance is now a fresh scar, not a lingering mystery. The Smith family is more autonomous than ever, and new threats emerge from the interdimensional wreckage. T.C. and Mike are slipping through the folds of space, time, and Beth’s walk-in closet to bring their take on Season 8.

Mike J. McAllister (Screener Squad, Staff Writer, Head Video Editor)
Mike J. McAllister is an award-winning creative jack of all trades, and is pretty competent with most of them. He is a writer, director, animator, video editor, and motion graphics artist. He has tried his hand at nearly every form of artistic expression at least once. He was born and raised in Western Pennsylvania where he fell in love with film, writing and special effects at an early age. His obsession with film would lead him to being locally known as a “human IMDb” and being on a first-name basis with every video store clerk in town. He would study film in Pittsburgh before taking his talents to Austin. Not letting something like Tourettes get in his way, he has produced a handful of animated short films that have won awards from film festivals all over the globe. He has also written several yet-to-be-produced screenplays and TV pilots, with some of them being recognized in screenwriting competitions. He has even created motion graphics and animations for several clients, from movie theaters to Twitch streamers. When not creating or watching films, he enjoys MST3K, classic video games and buying vinyl records. He loves dogs, dropping obscure pop culture trivia and watching travel videos. He currently resides in Austin Texas and can be followed on the Instamagrams at @ohheyitsmikejm.
