ABOUT THIS EPISODE
It's week 30 of 2026, and Harrison and EK Poole are back with another dissection of 2019's Pokémon Detective Pikachu. This week, they examine the incredibly muddy and confusing use of disability within the movie and how this might reveal the biases of the creative team and the audience. They attempt to answer exactly what Rob Letterman and Co. have to say on the topic and whether the movie expresses any inherently ableist views, which is a criticism that has been made of it in the past.
