Moreover, the show is not simply about space parasites, malevolent doppelgängers, or timelines that are falling apart now that it has reached its eighth season. In season 8, fans learn more about Rick's fractured identity and Morty's growing independence. Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden now voice Rick and Morty, respectively.

Episode 7 of Rick and Morty season 8, titled Ricker Than Fiction, dives into Hollywood satire with animated cameos from directors James Gunn and Zack Snyder, who voice themselves. The episode takes place inside the Warner Bros. studio and follows Rick as he steals the screenplay for a fake movie called Maximum Velocitree and rewrites it in his own messy way with a contraption dubbed the "Movie-lizer."

Gunn and Snyder playfully mock their respective filmmaking styles—dialogue versus spectacle—with Snyder's quip, standing out as a highlight:

"He's the Man of Steel, not the Man of Conversation."

Meanwhile, Morty and Summer struggle to stop Rick from wrecking another reality as he goes crazy. The episode ends with a bizarre twist involving a character named Sundae.

Filled with sharp satire and bold visuals, Ricker Than Fiction playfully critiques Hollywood’s obsession with franchises. The surprise cameos and meta-humor make it one of the standout episodes of Rick and Morty season 8.
