Season Eight of Rick and Morty He has just dropped his first real bang of an episode: “The Rick, The Mort & The Ugly”, which revives a stage that adult swimming series fans could think that he would never return. While the Citadel of Ricks was destroyed at the end of the fifth season and all travelers on the portal were Returning to its universes of origin at the sixth season, there are still unfinished businesses for all Ricks and Mortys that were clones rather than variants. This came out this week.
Io9 had the opportunity to ask the actors of voice Ian Cardoni (Rick) and Harry Belden (Morty) On all the different vocal nuances they took advantage of for “The Rick, The Mort & The Ugly”. We also talked to producer Showrunner-Executiu Scott MARDER and executive producer And harmon On why they wanted to return to the history of the Citadel.
“The episode is like 98% of Rick and Morty,” Belden estimated. “I do not think we are literally all the voices of the episode, such as (episode of the seventh season)” Unmorricken “where it is mainly. But probably that was the most difficult episode to record for me, only in the great volume we are doing.”
Calls and Cardoni accompanied Rick and Morty Before season seven After the departure of Justin Roiland, and the eighth of the season, they really cease their property of the characters in the title of the show.
“(Episode three was) one of the first we did, probably because it was so involved and we needed to do it as quickly as possible, because we are going to rewrite and re-record and things for it,” said Belden. “But yes, I had an absolute explosion doing it.
He added Cardoni: “You have some really fun stammers in this episode, Harry, and some moments that I think you really did your own that I only saw, renewed this kind of joy as a fan of seeing it for the first time. So great work in this.”
Fans will definitely have fun with a particular rick that Cardoni gives life to episode three: a villain drawing The Dukes of Hazzzard. He seems like him, speaks like him, and his scheme goes to Haywire as Hogg’s head did, in this context, ensuring that the nascent return of the Citadel fulfills another explosive end.
“I’m really excited for the world to know Hogg Rick,” Cardoni said. “I think it is a very fun new iteration and, you know, where we could usually give 20 dams for a line, Boss Hogg was something we reviewed, we tried a couple of different voices, perhaps gave 50 by line. Just to try to get it really in a new and fun place. And what they have given us a wonderful sandbox that they have given us in this multiverse and on the return to this different citizens. Challenge to start with Rick’s voice and then see how different variants could play. “

We asked if he had any particular direction for Hogg Rick, and if so, what was it?
“They were open to what I had been working on, on my own, but it was definitely a collaboration in creating what would end in the final version,” said Cardoni. “And it was a collaboration with the writers who had a particular sound in mind, but there were also a couple of deliveries that I think they may be amazing or fresh who were happy and they did. Look and then these characters who have been living on the shores of the border.”
MARDER AND HARMON cannot be remembered exactly whenever They decided that they wanted to return to the Citadel, but apparently the notion has long been percooked.
“We probably felt like we had a fresh and succulent story as to the scientist who was responsible for everything,” said MARDER. “Are you going to your own life or is watching these experiments to be watching because of your guilt that brought all of them?”
Added harmon, “I think the original terrain could have been … we make a spiritual successor of the episode of the Citadel, but because the Citadel is exploited, it is like, among the dregs.”
Is to tempt to imagine the Rick and Morty Writers’ room with a huge white board that collects potential Rick and Morty variants. As it turns out, the process is more organic than simply checking a list of fun ideas.
“As for strange work, Rick and Hogg Rick and things like that, I think they only appear naturally,” said MARDER. “ Either they will come to the room and they will be a natural part of the story, or the writer will enter and bring fun people to their first draft. Because this program is never closed.I think the episodes often feel so complex when they do it (adult swimming) due to the rewrite machine, but we constantly put in these episodes as a croissant, so that the end is very pleasant.
At the end of “The Rick, The Mort & The Ugly”, there is a brief time when “Our” Rick and Morty versions reappear after being absent from the whole episode. They are apparently there to tie a little nonsense on Morty losing his fidget spinner in an asteroid once populated by Mortys Cloned, but there is a time when Rick admits that he was wrong with something and points out how he has evolved enough to admit -now. Morty agrees to have changed. It is a small fast exchange that is a bit of brushing, but it is more important than viewers could realize.
“I love this moment. I love these moments. For me, they are recorded as jokes, but not because we joke when we say them. I think this is the curious of a friendship, especially among the boys maybe … (the program is) passing in front of this hierarchical relationship where Rick is beating Morty and both complain,” said Harmon.
“It’s like,” What is a friendship? “And the answer is fun.” There is no problem man, I just realized, as sometimes you have a little wound. “
Nut Rick and Morty The episodes arrive on Sundays in adult swimming.
