Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Rick and Morty must have set some sort of record for the most time separating a season premiere and its follow-up episode. It's been almost exactly four months since Adult Swim unexpectedly dropped "The Rickshank Redemption" into our laps. Finally, Season 3 continues onward with the debut of "Rickmancing the Stone." That long time gap didn't necessarily do this episode any favors. It's enjoyable in the way every Rick and Morty adventure is, but it fails to meet the standard set by the thoroughly excellent season premiere.
It's mainly the general premise where this none fell a bit flat. This episode basically played out as an extended Mad Max parody (with a touch of Romancing the Stone and a pinch of Fist of the North Star), which already feels a bit dated now that we're two years removed from Fury Road. In general, I'm not thrilled when this show is that blatant about its influences. It brings to mind the first few episodes of Season 1, which leaned heavily on lampooning movies like Jurassic Park and Inception. It wasn't until Rick and Morty moved beyond the direct parody approach that it truly found its voice, and this episode felt like an unfortunate step back in that regard.
