As They Say In Brooklyn "I'm Walkin' Here!"

This is gonna be my Rick and Morty Season 2 Episode 4 review "Total Rickall"

Total Rickall is fundamentally a bottle episode, as very early on the Smith family home is locked down. Using this trope, the episode includes multiplying parasites that are implanted into memories so the host do not see them as a threat. In this episode, the main characters have to differentiate between friend and foe, with very heavy tones of communist era paranoia. In addition, this especially links to John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982), including the casting of Keith David, as that movie shares similar themes of body snatching and imitation. Overall, this episode includes incredibly creative story and character designs, matching with the best of sci-fi concepts, with the signature Rick and Morty crass language and grotesque imagery.
