Yeah, definitely agree on Pi.

Primer was a bit over-hyped for me. Made me think of Memento which is a solid early-directors-career movie.

I have no problem with enjoying the plot and the lore. The aesthetic with the 90s leather outfits, the way it is filmed, the fuji color look etc all fine.

Actually that's what I like about Rick & Morty. When they have "paradigm shifting" scenarios it's just casual fun. Just take it easy, relax and enjoy it.
