This week, Harrison and EK are back with another episode discussing Pokémon as a franchise after watching the 2019 masterpiece Pokémon Detective Pikachu for the fortieth week of 2026. This episode, they analyze what little is known about the upcoming Winds and Waves video games as well as give their predictions for the upcoming tenth generation of the franchise. This is a less Detective Pikachu centric episode, but there is still plenty of discussion of the future for the films and games.

This week, the Poole brothers are joined by a very special guest, Harrison's partner Geneva! The three of them (along with their dog Lillia) sit down on a couch in a family basement to watch along and give their live thoughts while 2019's Pokémon Detective Pikachu literally plays in front of them. The following is a best of clip show of that viewing. While Harrison and E.K. are still going mad, having someone to keep them sane and on track is a much appreciated change of pace (and Lillia's zoomies and occasional snorts are an added bonus).

Harrison and E.K. Poole are back for another week of talking about Pokémon Detective Pikachu. This week is a listener suggested episode where Harrison's high school friend asked the brothers to go even wider in scope and examine Detective Pikachu through the lens of other Pokémon fan created media. They break down Nuzlockes, various fan games, and speedrunning and try to relate it all to the 2019 masterpiece and its 2016 video game counterpart. It's a bit of a looser episode though just as celebratory as the rest as the two brothers are delving into madness watching the same movie every week.

This week, the Poole brothers are back to talk about 2019's Pokémon Detective Pikachu. To mix things up, they have decided to go a little wider in their examination and talk about other spin-off games within the franchise. Harrison brings Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, and Ethan brings Pokémon Conquest. They give an overview of each game and then theorize how a movie or miniseries would work if The Pokémon Company ever wanted to adapt these works. They're having a great time living in the madness of having to watch the same movie every week.

This week, the brothers are back to talk about Pokémon. Detective Pikachu specifically but also Pokémon films more generally as they break down their personal experiences with the films and attempt to explain the storytelling techniques used across the franchise. While doing so, they also try to find out information on the production pipeline of each film and see what specifics details they can find into the actual process of creation. They are truly going mad, and they still have 16 weeks left.

Harrison and Ethan have returned this week to deliver the good word of 2019's Pokémon Detective Pikachu. For this week, they decide to zoom out a little bit and focus on the franchise more generally and the effect it has brought to their individual lives. They also give a brief history of the origin of the franchise as well as give their opinions on the recently announced Pokémon: Wild Card and the direction The Pokémon Company seems to be headed. Spoiler: They're cautiously quite optimistic.

This week, brothers Harrison and EK Poole return after another watch through of 2019's Pokémon Detective Pikachu. And a few weeks ago, Harrison discovered that there existed a graphic novel adaptation of the film, and after waiting for it to come in the mail, it finally arrived. So he fast-tracked this episode to get it out while the excitement was still fresh. Does he end up enjoying the graphic novel? Does he have any glaring flaws with it? Would he recommend it? Find out all this and more as the Poole brothers are continually being driven into madness by choosing to watch the same movie every week.

This week, Harrison and EK return for another watch-through of Pokémon Detective Pikachu. They take a look at some reviews that came out around the time the film was still in theaters and attempt to break them down and understand how certain conclusions were arrived at. They also briefly attempt to determine what the purpose of a review is and what service it provides. They've both gone slightly stir crazy at this point, though they're both enjoying the movie and the act of making the show for people to listen to their descent into madness.
