This week, brothers Harrison and Ethan Poole examine the extra bonus features on the Blu-Ray disc. They decide to hold off on the 20-minute-long Making Of documentary until next week so they examine everything else the disc has to offer. This includes a Mr. Mime audio commentary that makes Harrison irrationally angry, Outside the Actors Studio with Ryan Reynolds, a Rita Ora music video, and an uncomfortably horny alternate open to Detective Pikachu. Ethan watched this week on Detective Mode to try to get all the information he can, and Harrison will do the same next week. They both still enjoying the ride that is watching the Same Movie Every Week.

This week, the brothers return to find a new angle in which to view the 2019 masterpiece Detective Pikachu. In honor (or possibly in horror) of tax season, they decided to take a look at the views expressed through the lens of capitalism, baby. Does being rich make you evil? Does being working class making you good? How does the commerce of Ryme City seem to function? Harrison and Ethan discuss this and more on their fifteenth week in a row watching the movie. Harrison regrets nothing about this idea yet.

The Poole brothers have a bigger idea for next week's concept so this week, they decided to take a moment to check in with each other about how they're feeling about the podcast, what they think a future might look like, and toss out some ideas that haven't fit into prior episode concepts thus far. Some of their thoughts are more related to the franchise as a whole as they attempt to relate it to the movie specifically. It's more of a low-key episode but no less important to the project as a whole.

This week, the Poole brothers are joined by Ethan's childhood best friend Philip Arledge. Philip gives his insights alongside the brothers from the perspective of somebody who has never played a Pokémon game and has never seen an episode of the show. Does Detective Pikachu work from a complete outsider's view? Do you need a certain amount of background information to enjoy it? Will Harrison's plan for an April Fool's Day prank on the guest actually happen, or will he be vetoed? Listen to find that out and more. Harrison and Ethan also give a detailed explanation as to where each of them is in their specific viewing journey with Detective Pikachu.

The Poole brothers have returned to once again dissect 2019's Detective Pikachu. Fresh off award season, they jump right into another lens in which to analyze the film and ask the question "Is Detective Pikachu fanfiction?" as well as "What even is a meaningful definition of fanfiction?" Harrison and Ethan use their degrees in Film and English/History to toss around some theories before landing on a definition they both find more useful and specific than what might be broadly accepted. Ethan is still back onboard the Detective Pikachu train, and Harrison never left his seat.

The brothers announce the winners of last week's nominees for the seven categories of The Detective Pikachu Awards, the most prestigious award show ever invented. They also make claims as to whether and where Detective Pikachu should've been nominated for the 2020 Oscars, only to discover it was the Parasite year, and the competition was quite stiff. They also give their already expired predictions for who won the Oscars this past Sunday. Are they right? Are they wrong? Even if Oscar talk isn't your thing, come experience the first annual Detective Pikachu Awards, again, the most prestigious award ceremony ever invented by man.

This week, the boys come together to create the most real and most serious award show ever: The Detective Pikachu Awards. And, like any good award show, the nominations and presentations are two separate weeks. Harrison and Ethan come up with around seven categories with four nominees in each to award to the winner next week. Ethan is back on board the Detective Pikachu viewing train, and Harrison is ecstatic.

This week, Harrison and Ethan take a look at all the various partner Pokémon of the human characters within 2019's Detective Pikachu. They provide a Doylist and Watsonian explanation and theory as to why certain Pokémon were chosen for specific characters. They also give their thoughts on the recently announced Pokémon Winds and Waves as well as their opinion on the direction of the franchise as a whole. Ethan is really starting to feel the struggle of watching the same movie every week, but Harrison is still happily enjoying the ride.
