You ever have a friend who's media tastes didn't mesh at all with their politics at all?

I met a trans lesbian socialist who does a lot of pro-Palestine organizing recently.
She also really likes Rick and Morty.
Legit and unironically, I really think the show gets better as it goes on, insofar that women actually enter the writer's room. Like, the therapist scene deconstructing Rick is incredible (given the show up to that point) and the fans that hate that scene are a shibboleth for the chuds among us
The scene is both great and bad because it is basically the writers turning to the camera and saying "you shouldn't worship or idolise Rick, or even like him, he's an awful person because he refuses to put the work in to be better."
It's terrible from a writing standpoint because it is so on the nose, but it is great because it is exactly what the worst fans of that show needed to hear.

And the last season of The Sopranos
Is that the pickle Rick episode? I think that's the latest I've seen.
