Rick and Morty season 4's extended troll continues with new short film

When will Rick and Morty season 4 return? It's the question that everyone has been asking the official social media accounts of Adult Swim since the end of last year, when season 4 took a break after its first five episodes. 

Still, while you wait for that mystery return date, whenever it is, Adult Swim has released another short film called Samurai & Shogun. This violent and trippy 5-minute production focuses on a samurai version of Rick (known as Rick WTM72) who defends Morty from many evil Ricks. 

If you want to see lots of limbs get sliced off in a style of animation that's vastly different to the show's usual look, check it out below:

The short was written and directed by Kaichi Saito, and produced by long-established anime production house Studio Deen, which worked on the Netflix series Neo Yokio among many other things. 

Hey, it's not season 4, but it is pretty cool. Adult Swim could probably bundle together all the short films it's released over the past few months into a bonus episode, or pretend it's another instalment in the Interdimensional Cable anthology series. 

Any guesses on when it's coming back?

All we know about Rick and Morty season 4's return is that it's coming this year. We would've guessed that the series would return in the Spring, but the airdate is still a mystery. In the meantime, the first three seasons of the show are on Hulu, while you can buy the first half of season 4 on Amazon Prime. The fourth season should come to Hulu and HBO Max sometime after it finishes airing in 2020. 

In the UK, Channel 4 has the rights to season 4, though the episodes aren't currently available on its All 4 platform.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS.

He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
