Get ready for unpredictable and exciting escapades with Rick and Morty! The titles of the episodes for season 7 have been unveiled, providing a sneak peek into the upcoming parodies and storylines. However, a significant twist occurred when co-creator and main voice actor Justin Roiland was dismissed in early 2023 following allegations of domestic violence (which were later dropped). As a result, changes are on the horizon for the beloved animated sci-fi series on Adult Swim. The replacement for Roiland, who voiced characters such as Rick and Morty, has yet to be revealed. Nevertheless, producer Steve Levy assured fans that the show's quality will not be compromised despite the absence of the controversial co-creator/actor.
The way in which Rick and Morty season 7 deals with Roiland's departure is yet to be seen. However, the show has recently unveiled its episode titles and confirmed a release date. As per tradition, the titles cleverly incorporate wordplay on character names, while hinting at numerous parodies to come. Take a look at the titles below, accompanied by an announcement video clip from Adult Swim:
- How Poopy Recovered His Excrement
The Jerrick Trap
Air Force Wong
That's Amorte
Unmortricken
Rickfending Your Mort
Wet Kuat Amortican Summer
Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie
Mort: Ragnarick
Fear No Mort
Season 7’s Episode Titles Pile On The Movie References
The synopsis for "How Poopy Got His Poop Back" suggests a nod to the film How Stella Got Her Groove Back, hinting at a possible appearance by fan-favorite character Mr. Poopybutthole. "The Jerrick Trap" cleverly plays on The Parent Trap, implying an exciting adventure involving Rick and Jerry, possibly tied to secret twins. "Air Force Wong" humorously references the Harrison Ford action movie Air Force One and hints at the return of Dr. Wong, portrayed by Susan Sarandon. "That's Amorte" creatively combines the song title "That's Amore" with Morty's name, possibly foreshadowing a new romantic interest for the character.
Next in line is "Unmortricken," possibly inspired by Clint Eastwood's movie Unforgiven, which features a vague description of "Rick and Morty going wild, broh. They're getting into some crazy stuff." Following that is "Rickfending Your Mort," which likely references the Albert Brooks film Defending Your Life, where a man faces trial in the afterlife, accompanied by the teasing description of "Gotta hold onto those receipts, dawg." "Wet Kuat Amortican Summer" cleverly incorporates elements from Wet Hot American Summer and includes Summer's name, hinting at an episode centered around Morty and his sister.
"Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie" may draw inspiration from the 2012 3D animated film Rise of the Guardians (although this is a lesser-known reference), while "Mort: Ragnarick" clearly parodies Thor: Ragnarok. Finally, "Fear No Mort" could be a playful take on the 1981 horror film Fear No Evil, which revolves around a high school student who is revealed to be the devil (perhaps hinting at a diabolical twist involving Morty). Rick & Morty season 7 is scheduled to premiere on October 15, 2023.
