February 05, 2020 Oxide Film, Episode 10: Pokémon: Detective Pikachu, and the worst video game movies
An adorable Bulbasaur joins Tom and Mattie as their mascot as they dive into a review of Pokémon: Detective Pikachu. Our hosts battle with opposing opinions about the movie (we should have added some background fight music...)
We then have a brief chat about the age-old problem: can a video game movie ever work, or is the media-meshing formula doomed to fail from the start?
