I really can’t remember a time where I wasn’t researching and writing pretty much at the same time, though-especially in a few cases where what I was writing about had really current research going on. Once we had the organization down and I had structured things out, it was pretty much intensely focused research blended with writing as I went, pause at the end to make sure I hit all the high points, and then work my way into the next topic. I have a pretty deep biology background from college and graduate school prior to my Newsarama days, and have been teaching physics and chemistry and writing about science for about ten years at this point, so I had a solid foundation to work from. Matt Brady: Any research was ongoing as I wrote it, really. Now? Brady has a new book hitting shelves this week that elucidates at length about the hard science behind the brilliance of what might be one of the “Stupidest” shows on television.įrom the deepest regions of the Abyss, FreakSugar Senior Editor Steve Ekstrom has risen out of semi-retirement to interview his former boss and good friend about the release of The Science of Rick and Morty.įreakSugar: How many hours of research did you pour into The Science of Rick and Morty before you began writing?

The former front man for the Eisner Award-Winning entertainment website Newsarama turned professional educator went from shaping the perceptions of comic book industry fandom to the minds of our country’s youth.

From yelling, “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub” to terrorizing McDonald’s employees for Szechuan Sauce, the show continued to push the boundaries of nihilistic Sci Fi satire and intellectualized pop culture.Įnter: Matt Brady.
