Footloose!
Remember Morty Jr. from the Rick and Morty episode “Raising Gazorpazorp”? Morty’s alien son storms out of the house in a teenage hormone-fueled rage, and barges into a derelict warehouse. This is an obvious reference to the 1985 cult classic flick, Footloose, and Kevin Bacon’s character, Ren McCormack.
The nod becomes even more pronounced when Morty Jr. finds a radio. He bursts into a dance sequence, clearly mimicking Ren’s latent desire to dance in the small town that banned dancing. Every cut loose! Footloose! Kick off your Sunday shoes! Morty Jr. should’ve become a professional dancer.
