John Carpenter Says Only One Person Knows What Happens At The End Of ‘The Thing’

Warning: This post contains spoilers for the ending of John Carpenter’s The Thing.

John Carpenter’s The Thing — the film that could have starred Rick Dalton — has one of the great open endings. There are only two survivors of the shape-shifting alien beastie: Kurt Russell’s MacReady and Keith David’s Childs. The creature has been destroyed (probably) and the station — perhaps their only hope for survival — has been destroyed. One of them could have been infected by the titular “Thing.” Maybe both have been. Or maybe they’re both fine, minus the whole “probably freezing to death” part.

“If we’ve got any surprises for each other, I don’t think we’re in much shape to do anything about it,” MacReady tells Childs after he speculates that maybe he shouldn’t trust him.

“Well, what do we do?” Childs asks.

“Why don’t we just… wait here for a little while… see what happens?” MacReady replies.

End movie.

In the past cinematographer Dean Cundey says you can tell by the lighting who’s still human and who isn’t. MacReady, Cundey said, still has a human light in his eyes. Childs does not.

But in a new interview with Comicbook.com, Carpenter — legendary filmmaker, possible Chevy Chase hater, and apparent Barbie skeptic — shot that theory down, saying Cundey “doesn’t know. He has no idea. He puts the lights up. He puts the lights up, and we were in the snow. He has no clue.”

Carpenter added, jokingly, “You tell him that. Tell him he’s full of sh-t.”

When asked if he, the director, knows, Carpenter replied, “Yes, I know. I know who’s the Thing and who’s not in the very end.” When asked if he wouldn’t mind telling the world, he said, “Nope … Cannot tell you. Sorry.”

And so, alas, fans of The Thing will just have to accept the ambiguity and keep living their lives.

Dermatologist reveals 3 places you absolutely must wash to avoid life-threatening infections

Remember when you were a kid learning how to take a bath and your mom said, “Don’t forget to wash behind your ears!” According to a viral TikTok video by dermatologist Lindsey Zubritsky (@Dermguru on TikTok), your mother was right.

In a post with over 3.3 million views, Zubritsky reveals the places you “absolutely need to be washing more often than you are.” They are behind the ears, beneath the fingernails and in the belly button. Zubritsky says that failure to keep those areas clean can result in some severe health problems that can be life-threatening.

First, let’s take a look behind the ear.


If you put your finger behind your ear and “notice an odor to it or you feel something you should be washing it more,” Zubritsky says. Dandruff, sebum, other hair, and materials from the hair and head can build up behind the ear, leading to dermatitis.

Next, let’s do a little navel-gazing.

Zubritsky says the belly button is a common area to collect sweat, debris and dirt buildup. According to the dermatologist, some extremely gross things can happen if you don’t clean there often enough. After watching this video, you will never forget to clean your belly button again.

“In fact, if you’re not cleaning it enough, you’ll have so much debris and dirt in there that you’ll develop a navel stone that looks like this,” she said as she shared a photo of a black stone protruding from someone’s belly button. The stone-like object is known as an omphalith and it may require surgical removal.

Finally, take a look beneath your nails.

“When you’re showering, you really need to get under those nails with a scrub brush to get rid of the dirt, debris and buildup,” she explained. Failure to keep your nails clean can lead to infections and pinworms.

Zubritsky concludes the video with a serious warning. If you don’t keep those 3 areas of your body clean, you could become a carrier of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MSRA is a bacteria that is resistant to several antibiotics.

According to the Mayo Clinic, MRSA can lead to staph infections that produce painful boils that require surgical draining. In severe cases, they can burrow deep into the skin, leading to life-threatening infections in the bloodstream, bones, joints, heart valves and lungs.

Zubritsky has 1.1 million followers on TikTok and 576,000 on Instagram. Her social media fame has opened up a world of opportunities for the dermatologist.

“My work on social media has provided me with the opportunity to work with the American Academy of Dermatology on their social media campaigns and become an editor in the prestigious Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology,” she told Washington & Jefferson College. “My platform has allowed beauty editors from some of the biggest news outlets and magazines to consult with me on editorial pieces, and I have been featured in Forbes, CNN, Yahoo!, Vogue, Women’s Health, Allure, and many more as an expert dermatologist.”

Here Where Taylor Swift’s ‘The Eras Tour’ Movie Premiere Took Place

In late September, AMC Theaters confirmed it would host a premiere for Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (as reported by The Hollywood Reporter), Swift’s concert film that broke the record for “ticket sales for a single title for one day at AMC” and is approaching Barbie box office territory.

Swift was present at the premiere on Wednesday, October 11. She appeared wearing an Oscar De La Renta floral gown, appropriately blue to match her 1989 (Taylor’s Version) aesthetic. The event was hosted at the AMC Theater within The Grove in Los Angeles. As per CNN, “The open-air mall was closed to shoppers for the day as preparations for the premiere took place.”

Shortly before making her surprise red-carpet appearance, Swift treated Swifties to more exciting news — and seemingly dropped an Easter egg for Reputation (Taylor’s Version) while doing so. Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour will arrive in US and Canadian theaters a day earlier than its scheduled October 13 release.

“PREMIERE DAY,” Swift captioned an Instagram photo. “Andddd I can’t really wrap my head around this but…. Look what you genuinely made me do: Due to unprecedented demand we’re opening up early access showings of The Eras Tour Concert Film on THURSDAY in America and Canada!! As in… TOMORROW.”

She continued, “We’re also adding additional showtimes Friday and throughout the weekend. All tickets will be available by 10 am tomorrow morning. And it’ll be showing starting Friday in 90 countries all over the world. I can’t thank you enough for wanting to see this film that so vividly captures my favorite adventure I’ve ever been a part of: The Eras Tour. And the best part is, it’s an adventure we’re still on together. Getting in the car now…”

See social media posts from the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour premiere below.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is in theaters 10/13. Find more information here.

The Alleged Ex Of Accused Fraud Man Sam Bankman-Fried Said He Thought His Unkempt Hair Was A ‘Valuable’ Part Of His Power

Last week the Sam Bankman-Fried trial began, and the accused fraud man and onetime presidential hopeful did something special for it: He weeded down his unruly mess of hair. Public photos have yet to emerge of his new ‘do; for now people will have to subsist on court drawings. Getting a haircut must have been an event for him, as his former colleague and alleged ex-girlfriend claims he thought his untamed mane was key to his mystique and to his power.

Per Insider, Caroline Ellison — the twentysomething mathlete who got caught up in Bankman-Fried’s antics — testified on the stand for a second day. She admitted that he “looked like he didn’t put a lot of effort into his personal appearance,” adding, “He dressed pretty sloppily and rarely cut his hair.”

But, Ellison testified, Bankman-Fried saw his unkempt mop as a feature not a bug.

“He thought his hair was very valuable,” Ellison told the court. She also said he believed his hair had gotten him higher bonuses from the trading firm Jane Street. As such, he’d concluded that his slovenly look was “essential to his image.”

According to The New York Times, Ellison fought back tears during her second day of testimony, including when she recalled the week when Bankman-Fried’s companies collapsed spectacularly. But there was a silver lining, at least for her. “I felt this sense of relief,” she said, “that I didn’t have to lie anymore, and that I could start taking responsibility even though I felt indescribably bad.”

Ellison was CEO of Alameda, one of Bankman-Fried’s companies, and she testified that she kept detailed spreadsheets about how much they owed its lenders vs. how much it was drawing from customer deposits to FTX, his cryptocurrency exchange company. The latter began falling apart, she said, in the spring of 2022, when the crypto market crashed. Bankman-Fried then allegedly instructed her to use more customer deposits to repay the lenders, which she did even though she “knew it was wrong.”

Will Ellison’s tearful testimony sway jurors? Possibly. On Thursday it will. Be Bankman-Fried’s legal team turn to cross-examine her.

Bach wrote a whole song about a woman obsessed with coffee. It’s delightfully relatable.

When you think of Johann Sebastian Bach, you might picture a bewigged man in tailcoats composing classical symphonies and concertos frequently associated with high-falutin’ society. At the very least, you probably don’t picture a comedian.

But “the father of classical music” had a silly side, and it came out in full force in his nearly 300-year-old “Coffee Cantata” (aka “Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht,” or “Keep quiet, don’t chatter.”). In the “Coffee Cantata,” the voices we hear are a narrator who opens and closes the scene, a father (Herr Schlendrian) who has an issue with coffee-drinking women and Liesgen, his highly caffeinated daughter who is willing to give up anything for a cup o’ Joe.

For context, coffee was extreme popular in 18th-century Europe, with some people sanctimoniously thinking it was a bad habit that needed to be broken (hence the dispute between this father and his coffee-obsessed daughter). But anyone who loves coffee will appreciate Liesgen’s dedication to—and subversive deception to get—her three cups of java a day.

Witness and enjoy how the lyrics of Bach’s “Coffee Cantata” translate to English:


Narrator:

Keep quiet, don’t chatter
and hear what’s going on now:
Here comes Herr Schlendrian
with his daughter Liesgen.
He’s growling like a honey-bear –
hear for yourselves what she has done to him.

Herr Schlendrian:

Don’t we have with our children
a hundred thousand muddles!
What always every day I
say to my daughter Liesgen
goes in one ear and out the other.

You bad child, you wild girl!
Oh! If only I could have my way:
Get rid of coffee!

Liesgen:

Father, don’t be so hard!
If three times a day I can’t
drink my little cup of coffee,
then I would become so upset
that I would be like a dried up piece of roast goat.

Ah! how sweet coffee tastes!
Lovelier than a thousand kisses,
smoother than muscatel wine.
Coffee, I must have coffee,
and if anyone wants to give me a treat,
ah!, just give me some coffee!

Herr Schlendrian:

If you don’t give up coffee,
you won’t be going to any wedding
and you won’t go out walking either.

Liesgen:

Alright then!
Just leave me my coffee!

Herr Schlendrian:

(I’ll get the little minx now!)
I shan’t get you the latest fashion in just your size.

Liesgen:

I can easily do without that.

Herr Schlendrian:

You’re not to stand at the window
and you won’t see anyone going by!

Liesgen:

I don’t mind that either; but please, I beg you,
just let me keep my coffee!

Herr Schlendrian:

What’s more you won’t get from me
a silver or gold ribbon
to put on your bonnet!

Liesgen:

That’s fine! Just leave me my pleasure!

Herr Schlendrian:

You’re impossible Liesgen, you are,
you would give up everything I say?

(Girls with obstinate minds
are not easily won over.
But if you hit the right spot,
oh then you’re in luck.)

Now follow what your father says!

Liesgen:

In everything else, but not coffee.

Herr Schlendrian:

Well then! You must get used to the idea
that you won’t have a husband either.

Liesgen:

Oh yes! Father, a husband!

Herr Schlendrian:

I swear, that won’t happen.

Liesgen:

Until I can give up coffee?
Right! Coffee, remain forever untouched.
Father, listen, I won’t drink any at all.

Herr Schlendrian:

Then you’ll have a husband!

Liesgen:

This very day,
dear father, do it now!
Ah, a husband!
That’s just right for me!
If only it could happen at once,
so that at last instead of coffee
before I go to bed
I could get a lusty lover!

Narrator:

Now old Schlendrian goes off and looks out
for his daughter Liesgen
to see if he can get her a husband soon.

But Liesgen lets it be secretly known:
‘No suitor of mine should come to the house
unless he himself has promised
and it is written also in the marriage contract
that I shall be permitted
to make coffee whenever I want.’

The cat does not leave the mouse,
young ladies remain coffee addicts.
The mother loves her cup of coffee,
the grandmother drank it also.
Who can blame the daughters!

First of all, how fabulous is this? I think we coffee-loving women have a new theme song. Might even be worth learning some German so we can sing it in unison. Also, we need t-shirts that say, “In everything else, but not coffee.” Let’s make it happen. Send one to Grandma.

If you want to see how the “Coffee Cantata” sounds, here’s a charming performance of it by the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and Choir:

Bach as comic relief. Who knew?

Levi’s CEO settles the debate on just how often you should wash your jeans

Social media has become a fertile breeding ground for conversations about hygiene. Whether it’s celebrities bragging about how little their family bathes or battles over how often people should wash their sheets or bras.

One of the debates that gets the most diverse responses is how often people wash their denim jeans.

Denim atelier Benjamin Talley Smith tells Today that jeans should be washed “as little as possible, if at all.” Laundry expert Patric Richardson adds they should be cleaned “after nine or 10 wearings, like to me, that is the ideal.” At that point, they probably have stains and are “a little sweaty by that point, so you need to wash ’em,” Richardson says.

Still, some people wash and dry them after every wear while others will hand wash and never hang dry. With all these significant differences of opinion, there must be a correct answer somewhere, right?


The CEO of Levi Strauss, Charles Bergh, has stepped up to set the record straight on when and how to wash your jeans. He caused a stir in 2014 when he said he only washes his jeans once a year, but it was for environmental reasons more than hygiene.

He later clarified his thoughts in a blog post, “The Dirty Jean Manifesto” he posted to LinkedIn.

“I made this provocative statement because I believe strongly in what our brands stand for: quality, durability and lasting products made sustainably. I also said it because I believe we don’t need to wash jeans as often as most people think we do,” Bergh wrote.

“We learned that an average pair of jeans consumes roughly 3,500 liters of water — and that is after only two years of use, washing the jeans once a week,” Bergh wrote. “Nearly half of the total water consumption, or 1,600 liters, is the consumer throwing the jeans in the washing machine. That’s equivalent to 6,700 glasses of drinking water!”

To add to the problem, denim jeans are often manufactured in places where water is scarce, such as India, Pakistan, Mexico, China and parts of California.

Bergh recently spoke with CNBC’s Christine Tan and clarified his thoughts on jean cleanliness.

“True denim heads, people that really love their denim, will tell you to never put your denim into a washing machine. So that’s what I do,” Bergh explained. “If I drop some curry on my jeans, I’m gonna clean it. But I’ll spot-clean it. And if they get really gross you know, if I’ve been out sweating or something and they get really gross, I’ll wash them in the shower.”

However, when Bergh washes his jeans in the shower, he does it while wearing them and washing them with soap. The image that the scene conjures is of a cowboy bathing in a cartoon, clothes on and all.

There are a lot of different opinions on how often one should wash and dry their jeans and many of them boil down to personal preference. But the debate on the topic has brought up one very big point we should all consider: when choosing how often we wash our jeans, a big part of the decision should be considering the amount of water we use.

How 5 diabolical parents called their kids’ bluff in hilarious ways


Recently, blogger Jen Hatmaker had a funny conversation with a friend about parenting:

“My girlfriend told me the greatest story. Apparently her 11-year-old also wanted to be a grown up this week and, in fact, not only did he treat his siblings like despised underlings, but when asked what he wanted, he said: ‘I want the authority to be in charge of them and tell them what to do, because they deserve it!’


Well. My girlfriend and her husband are NOT AT ALL MESSING AROUND with parenting. Calmly, evenly, they granted his request to be a grown-up for a week by pulling him out of camp (the underlings still got to go, because they are ‘such children’) and sending him to work ALL DAY EVERY DAY with his dad. He has to get up early and shower and make breakfast for everyone. He has to kiss the underlings before he goes to work and tell them to have a great day and that he loves them. He has to work on a typing project during his office hours. He only gets to eat what his dad eats, because eating like a grown-up is not nearly as fun as eating like a kid.


Want to be an adult? Fine.”

Hatmaker’s post went viral, with thousands of parents chiming in with their own stories of tough love, both giving and receiving.

The responses were hilarious, poignant, and a sign that the next generation is being parented by extremely capable, if not a little bit diabolical, hands.

Here are five of my favorite stories from the comments about parenting-gone-absolutely-right:


1. Jill Duff’s mom used an embarrassing outfit to teach her sister an important lesson:

“My sister was snotty to my Mom. She called her and pretty much demanded, ‘Bring my band uniform to the high school!’ She’s the one who forgot her uniform in the first place. Then she told my Mom ‘Do not come in the school, that would be so EMBARRASSING. Just wait for me by my car.’

So my Mom did just that. She stood by my sister’s car, in the Texas heat, WEARING my sister’s band uniform. All the kids walking out for the day saw it.

Parenting GOLD.

And Mom was like…

2. Jessica Klick got her sons new shoes … but not the ones they wanted.

“Our 11 and 12 year olds at the time were complaining and whining and being ungrateful, saying how ‘hard their life was.’ For boys, the big thing is wearing those cool Steph Curry shoes and our boys LOVE their Currys!

So after hearing the last complaint my husband went to Walmart to buy white maypop leather shoes (the kind you see in geriatric centers) and high white socks. He brought those bad boys home, set them on the boys’ dresser, and made them wear those things everywhere we went. Those devastated boys told us we were ‘ruining their lives.’

I may or may not have laughed like a little girl when I dropped them off at school and watched them do the walk of shame.

3. Marisa Rodriguez Byers says she wished her mother was dead. And boy, did she regret it.

“I was a wretched, hormonal teenager. At the age of 13 I told my mom, ‘I wish you were dead!’ And at that moment, she ‘died,’ but to me only. (I had younger sisters).

She completely ignored me, didn’t speak at me, didn’t look at me, wouldn’t cook for me, set my place at the table, wash my clothes, take me to school, NOTHING. After 8 days, I broke down in the middle of the night, went to her room, clutched her tightly while sobbing how sorry I was and how much I loved her and that I would NEVER say those words again. I’m 41 years old now, I have NEVER uttered those words or anything remotely like them after that incident.

After tough love, you gotta hug it out.

4. Jessica Hill gave her daughter a good scare — and, in turn, a new appreciation.

“I was grocery shopping with my three year old when she decided to start screaming for ice cream. There was no reasoning with her in this hulk-type rage. I swear she had super human strength as I struggled to get her out of the cart full of groceries.

I was completely unaware of the two police officers who were witnessing this wrestling match. She was still hitting, kicking, and screaming when I was stopped by the police officers in the parking lot. They thought I had abducted her. This happened long before we had smart phones full of our children’s photos. They tried questioning her but she was still too busy throwing a fit, so I handed her over. I told them she could ride with them because I really needed a break and they could follow me home to see her birth certificate, baby book, etc. They started chuckling as one officer said, ‘Spoken like a true mom!’ I think they were more relieved than I was when she finally cried out, ‘Mommy?’

The officer handed her back to me while the other went back inside the store to ensure there wasn’t a distraught mother looking for her missing toddler. That evening my daughter told her dad she almost went to jail because she threw a fit, and I let her believe it. She didn’t throw a fit in public again.”

“Uhh, ma’am?”

“I didn’t mean to scare her, so after this experience, I wanted to ensure my daughter had a healthy respect and appreciation for first responders. Today, I’m happy to say she is highly aware and appreciative of the police, firemen, paramedics, and military personnel who serve to protect her.”

5. Erica Goodnight taught her son an incredible lesson that he carries to this day.

“My kid was whining over not having anything to play with. So, without a word, I went to the garage and got a black 50 gallon trash bag and started putting in all the toys that he obviously didn’t even realize were in our home to play with.

I loaded them AND him into the car and we drove to our local homeless shelter and gave every. single. toy. in the bag away. To a child who TRULY had nothing. And you know what? He didn’t even cry. His eyes were opened to the ones who have nothing. He actually enlarged his heart that day. And, we still do it. We still take toys to kids with nothing at least once a year.”

Parent win. Life lesson score.

There’s a fine line between teaching your kids a tough lesson in a funny way and engaging in “humiliation parenting.”

Making children wear a sign that says, “I sneak boys in at 3 a.m. and disrespect my parents and grandparents” or otherwise berating them publicly is a good way to erode trust between the two of you and seriously damage your relationship.

But calling their bluff on a ridiculous demand? Or having a little fun with how you choose to correct their bad attitude? That’s just plain survival.

And that’s what parenting is really all about.

You can read the whole hilarious exchange over on Facebook.

In the meantime, what’s your favorite tough-love story?

Vanna White Isn’t Leaving ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ With Departing Co-Host Pat Sajak, But She Thought About It

Forty-plus years is a long time to be doing anything, particularly in the entertainment industry. But save for some time off she nabbed this summer while negotiating her first raise in 18 years, that’s how long Vanna White has reigned as the mostly silent co-host of Wheel of Fortune. She may outlast her colleague Pat Sajak, who began the year before her and is leaving after the current season. Still, when he announced he was vamoosing, White at least considered joining him.

In an interview with People, when asked if she wondered if her time was up, too, she said, “Of course it’s a thought.” She continued:

“It’s like, ‘Well, wait, if you’re leaving, what am I going to do? How can I stay without you?’ It was a very hard decision for me to make, because it definitely crossed my mind. It’s like, ‘I just don’t know if I can do this without you,’ but I thought about it and I’m not ready to retire, so I am staying on.”

Next year, she’ll be joined by a very different TV personality, Ryan Seacrest. While she admits the show with him will be “different,” she’s not worried.

“I know Ryan — he is professional, he’s good at what he does, he’s kind,” White said. “I think it’s going to be good. He’s such a nice guy and he loves what he does. He said, ‘Look, I am not replacing Pat. I’m not going in to try to fill Pat’s shoes. No one can ever replace him.’ He says he’s coming in to do a good job and to keep the show going, and I’m looking forward to working with him.”

Still, White may have to vacate the show at some point, even just temporarily. And she knows who should replace her: Maggie Sajak, daughter of Pat.

“I think she’s a good replacement if I can’t be there for some reason,” White told E! News. “She’s been around it her whole life, so I think she can fill in for me for sure.”

Till then, Wheel of Fortune will continue to be a possible fount of bizarre guesses, including from celebrities.

Taylor Swift Seemingly Dropped A ‘Reputation’ Easter Egg When Announcing Early Access Showings Of ‘Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour’

Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs are scheduled to host the Denver Broncos on Thursday, October 12, but Taylor Swift appears to have other plans. On Wednesday, October 11, Swift confirmed that her Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film will enjoy early access showings across the US and Canada on Thursday, one day ahead of its scheduled October 13 theatrical release.

“PREMIERE DAY,” Swift captioned an Instagram photo taken at her Los Angeles premiere on Wednesday. “Andddd I can’t really wrap my head around this but…. Look what you genuinely made me do: Due to unprecedented demand we’re opening up early access showings of The Eras Tour Concert Film on THURSDAY in America and Canada!! As in… TOMORROW.”

Swift’s caption continued, “We’re also adding additional showtimes Friday and throughout the weekend. All tickets will be available by 10 am tomorrow morning. And it’ll be showing starting Friday in 90 countries all over the world. I can’t thank you enough for wanting to see this film that so vividly captures my favorite adventure I’ve ever been a part of: The Eras Tour. And the best part is, it’s an adventure we’re still on together. Getting in the car now…”

Swifties will likely key in on one sentence in particular: “Look what you genuinely made me do.” Could it be an Easter egg that Reputation (Taylor’s Version) will be Swift’s next re-recorded album, following 1989 (Taylor’s Version)‘s release on October 27? For the uninitiated, “Look What You Made Me Do” is from Swift’s 2017 Reputation album and a prominent part of her three-plus-hour The Eras Tour setlist.

There will be plenty more opportunities for Swiftian Easter eggs when The Eras Tour restarts on November 9 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, kicking off a months-long international leg before returning to the US for a second leg later next year. See all of the remaining dates here, and watch the movie’s trailer above.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is in theaters 10/13. Find more information here.

Dan Harmon May Be Doing A ‘Rick And Morty’ Movie, With Some Help From Zack Snyder

Rick and Morty is about to kick off its seventh season, inching the show ever closer to the 70 additional episodes promised back in 2018. There used to be huge gaps between seasons, but not anymore. To the team’s credit, at the end of this season they’ll be 4/7ths of the way to their goal. Perhaps that’s made co-creator Dan Harmon and company cocky, as now they’re even teasing a movie.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Harmon talked about having a pow-wow with no less than Zack Snyder, who wondered if he could use his weight at Warner Bros. Discovery to get a Rick and Morty film off the ground.

“Not him saying, ‘I get to do it,’ or anything like that. He was totally a super fan and was just like, ‘Is there any way I can help get that movie started by using my Snyder-ness?’” Harmon recalled. He then made some “Snyder Cut” jokes: “So, the Rick and Morty movie is coming as soon as Zack Snyder gets back from his vacation, because I want to start with a Snyder cut of that movie and then I want to do the director’s cut of a Snyder cut release, so we can just have a six-hour Rick and Morty movie and three hours of it is in black and white.”

Harmon may be kidding, but he did seriously meet with Warner Bros. brass. He came away confident that they agreed on the “same conceit” and that “it felt like maybe it was time to get the ball rolling.”

Harmon also said his “philosophy would be to just take a Rick and Morty adventure, and spend a bunch of extra money on it and make it 90 minutes long.” He added, “Not to try to earn its feature status by virtue of canonical dramatic tone shifts or anything like that, but rather to just make it a super badass episode of Rick and Morty.”

In other words, don’t expect a Rick and Morty movie that doesn’t ruins the vibe. Expect something more along the lines of Duck Tales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp or Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, where it just feels like a slightly pricier and longer version of the show.

Rick and Morty returns to Adult Swim starting October 15.
