Same Movie Every Week

Detective Pikachu Week Twenty: Comparing Roger and Howard to Tim and Harry

This week, the Poole boys are back with another deep dive into the 2019 masterpiece that is Pokémon Detective Pikachu. This time, they've decided to take a look at the father/son relationship dynamics between protagonists Tim and Harry Goodman and antagonists Roger and Howard Clifford. They note how they serve as foils to one another narratively and note the similarities and differences between them. Both brothers are still excited watching the movie, though Harrison is enjoying his time slightly more than Ethan.

Detective Pikachu Week Nineteen: 7th Birthday Special

This week, the boys record their episode on the 7th anniversary of the official US release date of 2019's Pokémon Detective Pikachu. To celebrate this birthday spectacular, they quiz each other with trivia throughout the movie and franchise and end with a couple "birthday wishes" for the film and possible sequel. They also discuss a new theory about why Generation 1 seems to get all the love compared to others.

Detective Pikachu Week Eighteen: Is It Copaganda?

This week, Harrison and Ethan return to examine 2019's Detective Pikachu as a piece of copaganda. They examine it through the lens of Sherlock Holmes's relationship with Scotland Yard and their function in those stories and how they relate to Detective Pikachu. They also attempt to break down copaganda as a whole and how this movie specifically falls into the landscape. Eighteen weeks in, and the brothers are still loving the ride.

Detective Pikachu Week Seventeen: Creating the World of Detective Pikachu Documentary

The Poole Brothers are back again to dissect 2019's Pokémon Detective Pikachu, and for this week, they finish with their journey through the bonus content with the 20-minute documentary "Creating the World of Detective Pikachu." They make comments on some behind-the-scenes information revealed as well as question everything they once thought they knew about the movie when it is revealed that there is a full 3D rendering of a Kingler that is not used outside of a still image. There're also a couple long tangents in this one that touch various topics loosely related to the movie at hand. It's a good time, and both brothers are happy to be on it.

Detective Pikachu Week Sixteen: Bonus Special Features

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.
