How to watch Rick and Morty season 5 episode 4 online, start time, channel and more
Post-Planetina, Rick and Morty have much to vent about
Episode 4 of Rick and Morty season 5 starts today (Sunday, July 11) at 11 p.m. ET. It's titled "Rickdependence Spray."
It's on Cartoon Network, during the AdultSwim block.
It's time to watch Rick and Morty season 5 episode 4, and if it sounds a week late, we're going to celebrate Rickdependence ... Spray? If this means anything, we're guessing it could bring Morty even further to trying to declare his independence from the frustrating situations that have pushed him further and further this whole season.
But, yes, we're not sure what Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon are up to, and whether or not this episode was supposed to air last Sunday, but it looks like we're about to get a very Shwifty dose of patriotism.
Rickdependence Spray comes in the aftermath of a very relationship-heavy edition of the series. Or about as lovey-dovey as a show can be when Morty murders a board room of exes, cronies and the Tina-teers. A congressman's house was set on fire, too. Fun times. Meanwhile Rick and Summer went on a very weird road-trip.

Rick and Morty season 5 episode 4, aka "Rickdependence Spray" continues this season's format of movie references in titles. We're not sure who's going to welcome to, or to which planet (if not Earth), but an alien invasion such as ID4's almost seems like too easy of a concept for Rick and Morty. The entire show is chock-full of aliens.
Previously, A Rickconvenient Mort flipped Al Gore's message on its head, and into a Captain Planet riff, and "Mort Dinner Rick Andre," was based around the worst dinner guest ever and Morty's need to date. Also, "Mortyplicity" took the Michael Keaton cloning movie and brought in the never-ending clone/decoy army/
And so we're now leading to some other kind of chaos, and we wonder if this will be the moment where Morty finally says enough is enough — and means it. More likely, though, that would happen in episode 5 or episode 10 which would be the cliffhanger episodes before breaks — if history repeats itself.
