Warning: full episode spoilers follow.
Based on the title alone, I expected this episode of Rick and Morty to revolve around an eating disorder of some kind. That would likely have made for a gross but funny adventure, but in this case the "purging" was of the Hollywood horror/suspense variety. Our heroes stumbled onto a seemingly peaceful world just in time for their annual festival of bloodshed, looting and catharsis. The end result wasn't one of the more creative episodes of Rick and Morty, but it sure hit the spot all the same.
In a lot of ways, this episode felt more like an early Season 1 installment, when the show was a little more blatant about paying homage to a specific piece of pop culture. This wasn't a Hunger Games parody or a Battle Royale parody - it was a Purge parody. It helped that Rick, ever fond of breaking the fourth wall, was quick to point out just how similar this world was to the Purge movies. Plus, the idea that these strange humanoid cat people are simple, good-natured farmers by day and ruthless murderers by night lent the whole Purge concept and extra touch of the surreal.
