The story
After a high school lab experiment goes horribly wrong, Mordecai and Rigby must go back in time to battle an evil volleyball coach in order to save the universe — and their friendship.
Regular Show: The Movie recap
In the distant future, a villain called Lord Ross is erasing time, and the park crew are killed. A future Rigby escapes in a timeship and warns the present-day Mordecai and Rigby that the time machine they built for a high-school science fair created a Time-nado, which Ross, their old volleyball coach, has turned into a weapon. To save the universe, Rigby must confess a secret even if it ends their friendship. The crew travels to the past to stop the time machine from being built, but Ross makes sure it is built anyway. Ross then makes Rigby admit the truth: Mordecai got into college, and Rigby faked the rejection letter so they could stay together. Mordecai ends the friendship. A future Mordecai, part machine and working for Ross, sacrifices himself to save his younger self. Rigby, ashamed, finally apologises, and the two reunite to defeat Ross and destroy the Time-nado.
Regular Show: The Movie ending explained
With the Time-nado destroyed and Ross arrested, Mordecai and Rigby promise to keep their friendship healthy, and their dark future selves are erased. Back in the present, they get caught leaving the park early by Benson but escape in the timeship, pleased that they will never be late for work again. The film premiered on Cartoon Network in 2015, during the show's run, and does not change the series that follows.
