IGN has published its review for "A Ricker Runs Through It," the fourth episode of "Rick and Morty" Season 9. The review notes the episode for its unusual premise and the contributions of its voice cast, highlighting the strength of the vocal performances.
Owen Wilson guest stars as the character Reese, whose presence reportedly alters the dynamic between Rick, voiced by Ian Cardoni, and Morty, voiced by Harry Belden. Cardoni's portrayal of an "extra-drunk" Rick and Belden's depiction of Morty's "prolonged temper tantrum" are specifically mentioned as key elements of the episode's early humor.
The narrative reveals Reese to be a system devised by Rick to bypass his computer's password protection. The storyline escalates with Rick's creation of an infinite vodka source, which is achieved by enslaving a population of "hog workers." Morty's actions inadvertently lead Reese to spark an uprising among these hog workers, resulting in chaos within the Smith household.
Writers Jax Ball and Albro Lundy are credited for the episode's development. Additionally, Chris Parnell's performance as Jerry is singled out, particularly in a subplot where Jerry becomes the host for a gas cloud-based service technician. Parnell's distinctive "loopy cloud voice" for this role is also noted.
