05. Pokémon: Detective Pikachu Crew's Next? - The Podcast About Film

    • Film Reviews

After finishing Passengers in the previous episode James and Elsa picked a film from the filmography of visual effects supervisor, Erik Nordby and arrived at 2019's Pokémon: Detective Pikachu, directed by Rob Letterman. Based on the Pokémon franchise, the film is a loose adaptation of the 2016 video game of the same name. The plot follows former Pokémon trainer Tim Goodman (Justine Smith) and the titular Pikachu (Ryan Reynolds) as they attempt to solve the mysterious disappearance of Tim's father, Harry.



James and Elsa discuss their lack of knowledge of all things Pokémon, the film's interesting casting choices and dwell on a cameo appearance by Rita Ora for far too long.



Crew's Next is THE podcast about film. Every other week, join James Albarn and Elsa Grace as they review and discuss a film that they have chosen from the filmography of a crew member that worked on the previous film they discussed. They start with Christopher Nolan's Prestige but who knows where they will end up as each different crew members filmography takes them to different years, genres and, let's be honest, quality levels!
