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.

The brothers are back, and this week, they watched three movies. Their mission is to compare and contrast the Pokémon Mewtwo in The First Movie, Mewtwo Returns, and Detective Pikachu. Their big breakthrough theory is that they are, in fact, all the same character across two decades of media. Ethan also waxes poetic while lamenting the recent gap in theatrically released Pokémon animated movies. He and Harrison get emotional and nostalgic. Harrison is still loving the weekly viewing journey, and he's hoping this is a shifting in Ethan's perspective.

The Poole brothers are back for the seventh round of watching Detective Pikachu every week for a full year. This time, they watch Detective mode and comment and dissect the various fun facts and behind-the-scenes stories revealed in this viewing experience. While some questions are answered, some are still to be determined. Harrison's love for this film remains unwavering, and while Ethan still enjoys making the show, the actual repeated viewing process is starting to weigh on him.

For this week, the brothers are celebrating Valentine's Day by analyzing the somewhat confusing romance subplot in 2019's Pokémon Detective Pikachu. They theorize why certain decisions were made and invite anyone involved in the filmmaking process to answer the questions they're left with. Harrison and Ethan are still both very onboard with the viewing process but are beginning to feel the effect of having to watch and dissect the same movie every week.

The brothers are back to dissect the final and shortest act of 2019's Detective Pikachu. They give some analysis and opinion on why certain creative decisions may have been made and how those affected the movie as a whole. Harrison is still tightly buckled into this ride, while Ethan is buckled but sometimes bracing, even if he still enjoys the twists and turns for the time being.

For the last week of January, the bros are back to break down Act 2 of Detective Pikachu. They give some deeper insights and some new details noticed on this watch. This is the two's favorite part of the flick, and it does not disappoint. They're still full of steam and excited to continue the journey over the next 11 months.

The Poole brothers return to discuss and dissect specifically the first act of 2019's Detective Pikachu. Harrison came prepared with notes as they go scene by scene of the first 30 minutes of the movie and share reviews and observations that they've noticed over repeated viewings. Harrison even has two new details he only found this watch through. Ethan enjoyed the movie much more this week, and Harrison's love remained unwavering as he's still convinced this is among his greatest ideas.
