I can't think of a Rick and Morty episode where everything just goes smoothly, in fact, I don't think there's even one. So when everything does go smoothly, it feels really strange and weird.

Above we have an example of just that. Created by Paul Robertson and Tom Walker for Adult Swim, we have Mr. Poopybutthole's Beautiful Day. The title of the one minute video spoils the clip, as the creators aren't lying when they tell you that Mr. Poopybutthole does have a beautiful day.

We see Mr. Poopybutthole and his family taking a nice road trip to a secluded ranch near a lake. They walk on in and start enjoying themselves by playing some cards and sitting by the fire. Mr. Poopybutthole puts his kid to sleep over a nice bedtime story and then goes and sits with his wife. Hearts start to race when Rick pokes his head out of a portal, but he doesn't do anything to mess with Mr. Poopybutthole. Instead, he watches and nods in approval as if he is checking on him to make sure he's alright.

The showrunner for the hit Witcher TV show, Lauren S. Hissrich, has slapped down critics who are comparing her show to David Benioff and D.B. Weiss's Game of Thrones.

If you haven't been jumped into Netflix's Witcher TV show and are wondering if its worth a watch, maybe this article will help you out. I'm going to give you a solid picture of what the reviews are currently looking like at the time of writing this. The Witcher TV show has a 57% critics (44 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes. While that doesn't sound too exciting, it has a public score of 92% (6,850 reviews).

Hissrich also drew this very same comparison (while not mentioning the numbers), and said in the above Tweet, "Who do I care about? "Professional" critics who watched one episode and skipped ahead? Or REAL fans who watched all eight in one day, and are starting their rewatch?".

The time has finally come! Netflix has released the Witcher TV show onto their streaming platform and you don't have to wait for episodes either.

If you didn't know by now with all the headlines, as well as the social media posts, Netflx has just released the Witcher TV show on their platform. All eight episodes are available to watch right now and each of them are about an hour long each. So if you were planning on to binge the whole season, you can. Just put away about eight hours of your day and sit back and enjoy the show.

If you aren't caught up with Witcher news, check out the final trailer that was released about two weeks ago, it shows off some pretty awesome fight scenes as well as some cool cinema shots. On a positive note, Netflix has already greenlit season 2 of the Witcher, so after you have finished the first season, don't stress about there not being another one as its already on its way. If you need a link to the Witcher TV show, one can be found here.

At the moment, we are currently on a short break from Rick and Morty Season 4, so to make the wait just that little bit easier, Adult Swim has released some shorts.

Before I get into what is shown in each of these videos, I must warn you that if you aren't up to date with Season 4 Episode 5, then these videos will be spoilers of some episodes. I'd advise you to go and watch the episodes before checking out these videos, as I believe you will enjoy them much more after you have seen the episodes.

Moving on now to the contents of the above video. This video is from Season 4 Episode 3, 'One Crew over the Crewcoo's Morty' where the whole episode is one big rip on Heist movies. In the video, we watch Heist-o-Tron attempt the greatest heist of all time - steal a planet's core without its inhabitants knowing.

Deadline has reported that Paramount Pictures has announced that the Jackass film-franchise will live on with another movie.

This will mark the fourth movie in the Jackass franchise, with the first being released back in 2002. Since then, there have been three more movies released, which in total bring the franchises gross to more than $335 million at the box office. Of course, this wouldn't be a Jackass film if the creator, Johnny Knoxville, wasn't involved. He will be returning for the fourth film.

So what will the fourth movie be about? Exactly what the other ones are about. Knoxville and his friends all playing pranks on each other and performing a variety of dangerous and strange stunts that should definitely not be performed at home. Jackass 4 will be arriving on the big screen on March 5th, 2021.

Christopher Nolan is back, with WB dropping a trailer for his craziest movie ever -- Tenet. Check out the official trailer to Tenet below:

Until now, Tenet has been shrouded in mystery and even though the official trailer is here, Nolan's new movie is still shrouded in mystery. John David Washington heads up Tenet, playing what seems to be some super-spy saving the world from World War 3.

Nolan being Nolan, we have some time travel goodness here, stunning cinematography (it wouldn't be a Nolan movie without it), and oodles of mystery. Nolan shot Tenet across 7 different countries, so we should expect some truly beautiful shots throughout the movie.

Amazon is wanting to get the filming of their massive Lord of the Rings TV show underway, as apparently casting agencies are after people to play orcs.

According to LadBible, who reported that casting agents are currently seeing in mass people with "wonderful noses" or "character faces". The requirements also detail people should join if they are over six feet tall or under five feet. The report says that two casting agencies are currently taking in requests for people of any background and ethnicity.

The LadBible also says that the casting agencies are looking for "long lithe dancers" as well as "stocky mean-looking bikers" and "redheads of all ages, shapes and sizes". The whole idea behind finding these peculiar looking people to be used as orc extras is that their faces will require less make-up. New Zealand's Stuff.co.nz reported that Amazon's casting calls are now "urgent" as they want to hurry the shooting process along.

Ever wondered what Pickle Rick would taste like? Next year you will be able to try, as Pringles is making their own flavor.

Yes, you read that correctly. Pringles has announced that it will be making a special 'Pickle Rick' flavor of its potato crisps. According to the official Pringles Twitter account, these special edition Rick and Morty-themed Pringles in 'Pickle Rick' flavor will be released "On 2/2".

What would these even taste like? Would it be a normal pickle chip flavor plus something that's meant to taste like Rick? What would that even be? Maybe an alcoholic taste to fit the character's personality? Who knows. I suppose we will only know what Pickle Rick tastes like when the chips release until then we just have to enjoy these play-on-words. "I turned myself into a can of Pringles Morty! I'm Pringles Rick!"

The actor from the movies that inspired Rick and Morty's creation wants to see the Back To The Future characters meet their cartoon counterparts.

If you didn't know, Rick and Morty is inspired by Back To The Future characters Dr. Emmett Brown (Doc) and Marty McFly. During an interview at German Comic Con Dortmund, Christopher Lloyd, who played Dr. Emmett Brown in all of the Back To The Future movies, was asked if he is aware of Rick and Morty, his response was perfect. "I think it's fabulous. I've watched it, I love the humor in it, I love the characters."

Llyod continues and says, " I've had a fantasy that they make another Back to the Future, Back to the Future 4. And Back to the Future 4 - it's not happening - but if it did, Back to the Future 4 collides with Rick and Morty. Someway, somewhere in another time zone, in another space zone." It would be awesome if Adult Swim could manage to get this crossover event happening, as I think fans would absolutely love it. Maybe Rick and Morty could see Marty and Doc during one of their adventures, and then Rick could criticize how inferior Doc's time travel machine is while Morty feels nervously familiar around Marty, but he doesn't know why.

The new Michael Bay movie starring Ryan Reynolds arrived on Netflix just this past Friday, and what you probably didn't notice when watching it was Ryan Reynolds shooting a cameo video on screen in the movie.

Firstly, thanks to Deadly Fun for the side-by-side comparison image, as I can say, I would have never spotted while watching the film. The above image is a screenshot of the video Ryan Reynolds posted to Instagram over a year ago. In this video, he talked about appreciating the stillness and the quiet moments in Michael Bay movies, while behind him an epic car chase is Florence is unfolding.

The bottom image shows Ryan Reynolds recording that same social media cameo video of himself from a different location. To top this all off, at the time of the car chase Ryan Reynolds' character in the movie is being chased by the bad guys. What a hilarious cameo, and surely one of the best of all time.
