00:00I was told last night that at Comic-Con we'll be doing a table read of the two best episodes.
00:05Yes.
00:06And my response was very sincerely, I was like, oh, maybe I should punch that script up before we...
00:11And Steve Levy said, it already aired on television.
00:25So great to get to see everyone.
00:27And, you know, the show just keeps exciting fans and keeps getting attention.
00:31Obviously, the James Gunn, Zack Snyder moment is a great example of that.
00:35What is either that or anything else?
00:38Favorite moments, favorite aspects of your character from season eight?
00:41To play a sort of demonic rabbit character.
00:45That was cool.
00:46That was on your bucket list.
00:47That was amazing.
00:49I just rewatched one of the episodes where we go to human Earthworld.
00:53And I did like trying to pick out like the heads of the famous people that had the big heads.
01:00I thought that was funny.
01:01I thought it was like nice to do another little tribute to some crazy world place, fantasy park, you know.
01:07I really liked Morty getting to reconnect with his estranged son.
01:12I thought that was a really nice moment for the season.
01:17And, yeah, that was my favorite for Morty.
01:19For Frontier, I think Boss Hog Rick was my favorite.
01:22Just to jump into a Rick that was a real extreme version.
01:26Just a new iteration of the character.
01:28It's a lot of fun to play.
01:29And it was nice to play a 37-year-old version of Samurai as well.
01:32That was cool.
01:34I loved Beth and Space Beth getting to go back and revisit their childhood.
01:40Keeping track these days because we're so on schedule that we're out of schedule.
01:44So it's hard to keep track of the episodes.
01:48I was told last night that at Comic-Con we'll be doing a table read of the two Beths episode.
01:53Yes.
01:54And my response was very sincerely.
01:56I was like, oh, maybe I should punch that script up before we start.
02:00And Steve Levy said, it already aired.
02:05Television.
02:07And you're playing Child Beth.
02:09Yeah.
02:11One of the Beths, right?
02:13Are you going to entulate your child's spirit?
02:15Yes, I'll be reading the part of that time.
02:18If you just tried this, you're getting all the hottest table read news.
02:24I had a schedule that seems like a new thing for you or?
02:28Definitely, definitely.
02:29Very, very new.
02:31Very alien.
02:32I sometimes wake up in a cold sweat like, how do I destroy everything?
02:37How do I slow it down?
02:39Answer is I can't.
02:40I've got very suitable, very strong leadership.
02:43And Scott Marder is not here with us right now, but he's got that ship running very, very smoothly.
02:48He's so busy, he's still running the ship currently.
02:50That's why he can't be here right now.
02:51He'll be here later.
02:53And that means season nine is already written, or where are we out there?
02:56Yeah, I mean.
02:58Oh yeah, we're recording it too.
02:59Okay.
03:00Yeah, there's a lot.
03:01I mean, there's season 10 episodes, frankly.
03:04I don't know if that's kind of sad for the listener to hear.
03:06Why are you three years ahead?
03:08That means that, I mean, yeah, we're not going to get that amazing Epstein episode.
03:12We're not going to have topics that are...
03:14We've got to keep it tight.
03:16Where are the files?
03:18Release the files now!
03:19No Trump penis.
03:23So we stay timeless, but I swear, there's episodes of season 10 that I'm already so excited about.
03:30That's kind of a frustrating thing of being on schedule in animation.
03:32It's like, can we fast forward time so people can get a look at this bad boy?
03:37For sure.
03:37And obviously, fans loved having Gunn and Snyder involved.
03:41What was that like?
03:42What went into getting them on board?
03:44Honestly, I mean, I just suggested it at one point, and then we went through proper channels.
03:52There was no friendship abused or leveraged.
03:55I mean, there's producers that did probably great work finagling that, and I didn't really have anything to do with it.
04:03Or we were honored and stoked that they got to do it.
04:06I wasn't there for the record.
04:08Scott was, and he said they had a blast, and I think he said Zack Snyder wants to be a regular.
04:14It's fine.
04:15But all of his sequences will be dreams.
04:21He'll always exist in a Snyder cut of every episode.
04:24Amazing.
04:26And this will be held until proper time, but obviously, the world continues to expand, and we have very exciting news with President Curtis.
04:35How did that come about?
04:36What can fans look forward to there?
04:39A different kind of control than you see now in the Oval Office.
04:43You know, different kinds of adventures as we plumb the universe, omniverse, you know.
04:50Just stay tuned.
04:53Amazing.
04:53Anything that fans can be particularly excited for with the finale that's coming up?
04:59I'm scared to say anything.
05:02Don't spoil anything.
05:04Yeah.
05:05Rick is hot.
05:07Yeah, say that.
05:08We can say that Rick is hot.
05:09Yeah, Rick is hot.
05:10According to...
05:10Oh my god, Rick is so hot.
05:13Yeah.
05:13You have to stay tuned.
05:16You know, find out.
05:17You really want to know?
05:19Do you really want to know?
05:20Then stay tuned.
05:21Is it tough to balance the serialized nature of fans wanting that element of the world and the universe and with just like a lot of episodic fun?
05:31It is tough.
05:33I mean, my part of it is I'll just always kind of insist on the modular one-off kind of thing because I think that's a thing that is harder to pull off and therefore requires more energy.
05:46And serialization is a glorious, wonderful thing that kind of happens automatically to a show that people love.
05:54So, it doesn't really need help.
05:58But we do have like younger, smarter people on the staff whose very job is to like remember which Rick is from which dimension and stuff.
06:09And they make great strong advocates for fantastic like canonical mythical episodes.
06:14And so my job can be like, hey, let's make this like Alf.
06:17And they're like, who?
06:21Alf.
06:22Alf.
06:23Was it just my definition of like a really modular show?
06:28Get excited for Alf, everyone.
06:30Do you know the Alf finale?
06:32Have you, do you guys familiar with the Alf finale?
06:35They did this thing where they truly, clearly thought that there was going to be more episodes.
06:40So, they ended on this gigantic cliffhanger where Alf gets like captured by the government at the end.
06:46And that's just how Alf went off the air was with Alf surrounded by FBI and Pentagon people.
06:51Oh my God.
06:52Going like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
06:55It was a wild joke.
06:56You guys going to dissect me or what?
06:58And then it's just credit, Dick Wolf.
07:03And they never again, it's like Alf is just out there on an operating table somewhere with his kidneys and a bull.
07:08They did do a reunion special, but it wasn't a reunion special.
07:12They only reunited Alf.
07:15Is this real?
07:16Yes, yes.
07:16Is this real?
07:17I mean, I was just, I was told this by our millennial kind of like writing staff.
07:22They brought it up on YouTube and showed me the whole thing.
07:24I was blown away by it.
07:26Thank you so much for your time.
07:27So much, Ryan.
07:28Table reads and Alf updates.
07:29Yes.
07:30Right here on.
07:32But no finale spoilers.
07:33Exactly.
07:35Perfect.
