Rick's Time Travel Box Finally Opens! (4x05 Analysis) ft. Jessica Chobot & Abed Gheith

Rick and Morty Season 4 Episode 5 "Rattlestar Ricklactica" finally unleashes TIME TRAVEL! How does Rick and Morty's time travel episode defy the conventional tropes of time travel fiction, with homages to the Terminator films and Back to the Future? In this analysis of Rick and Morty 4x05, Erik Voss is joined by special guests Jessica Chobot and Abed Gheith to discuss why the Rick and Morty writers finally explored a time travel plot and how they changed the rules of the universe to do so. In this episode of #Ricksplained, we dive into the deeper themes of this mid-season finale of #rickandmorty for the deeper meaning you might have overlooked, and how a snake eating its own tail is the perfect metaphor for every thinly plotted time travel story.
