‘Rick and Morty’ Boss on How James Gunn and Zack Snyder Agreed to Parody Themselves and Their Dueling ‘Superman’ Takes (EXCLUSIVE)
https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/rick-and-morty-james-gunn-zack-snyder-guest-star-how-1236447096/
“They were good sports,” said “Rick and Morty” exec producer Scott Marder. “Both of those guys sort of implied that this is the show they watch when they have downtime.
Series co-creator Dan Harmon also got excited about the idea of both Gunn and Snyder showing up — and joined in to write that “Superman” dialogue between the two. “When he heard that they were on board and they were coming in, he sort of cracked his knuckles and wanted to make sure the episode lived up to and was worthy of them, having to deliver those lines,” Marder said

So, that weird teddy bear was a throwback to ABC's of Beth. In that episode, Rick shows her all of the things she asked him to make for her. In that long list was a teddy bear with anatomically correct innards. I thought that was fantastic

Hey everyone! This is Brandon for Apathetic Enthusiasm and Interdimensional RSS. I wanted to let you know that we’ll be taking a hiatus for some undetermined amount of time. Maybe a week, maybe a month, maybe a year, but whatever time, not forever.

The reason I’m giving you this message and not Travis is because he’s spending precious time with his wonderful family. They recently found out that his oldest daughter, Allie, was diagnosed with Precursor B-Cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

So to relieve him from the pressure of making him record all the time, because I’m definitely the one making him do this all the time, we’re going to take a little break. I may push out some content on my own, he may drop in, but it’s important for me to support him and his family (and to keep him off of this microphone for a minute)

If you want to support his daughter Allie and Travis’ family, there is a gofundme set up. There’ll be a link in the show notes, but you can also google Allie Menard. She’s the top search result there, and it’s for a good reason. She is an amazing kid and she has an amazing family.

There’s also an Allie needing money for court fines… that is a different Allie.

On behalf of Travis and his family, thanks for all your, positive thoughts, prayers, and support!

DiscussionOverview
Episode opens with Rick hanging out in a Karaoke bar with two unknown pals and Rick is a huge downer when he brings up his dead daughter (what a buzzkill)
Turns out this is Rick again mixed up in another Rick’s reality
“This is what I get for overwriting reality so many times”
Did you take this to mean that he has been time traveling or messing with time over and over again?
Jerry’s Space Berry Cake (???)
Jerry starts going through Rick’s stuff thinking he won’t be coming back
Morty and Summer take off with Space Beth to look for Rick
They ditch other Beth with Jerry
Memory of Rick getting executed (with the Smith family watching)
Elle saves Rick and Morty from some sort of Alien stomach
This appears to be the first time Rick meets Elle, but it turns out this is just due to the Ricks mixing up
Conversation with Elle in the back of the car where she says Rick just has to validate her existence
He asks her if he throws the “time-bomb” away if all will make sense again
Then he is immediately in a desert and says “I wish someone would just explain this to me.” In a rare moment where Rick doesnt have everything figured out
Random scene with Rick and Morty infiltrating a Galactic Federation ship, I guess to show Rick forming the team of resistance fighters that Morty later joins
Side story where Morty goes undercover, gets nuggets, and topples a federation prison (how did Goldenfold get there?)
Morty is more attached to Elle than Rick
Elle is the orchestrator of all this time stuff
Is she a good guy or villain?
Post credits family photo shoot?!?! They dont notice Jerry is missing (disappeared)

Morty searches through VR to find Elle
He runs into a Rick that knows her
Elle is from a race of aliens that can “remember the future.”
Elle knows what will happen which feels like it limits stakes
Morty and Elle work together to liberate an alien race from Galactic Federation rule. Morty becomes a hero
Space Morty becomes the celebrity of the world
Morty falls head over heels for Elle
“Though she knows the future, she cannot change it, just like we can’t change the past.”
Can perceive the moment of her death from the moment of her birth
Why does Elle look confused when Morty says you don’t scare me at all if she can perceive the future and knows everything that’s gonna happen and everybody’s responses?
You are the one regretting the future right now -Elle
Summer busting in saying they have to go save grandpa
