This episode was recorded a couple of weeks back but we needed to finish Sleazy Spader Springtime first. Plus I get a wonderfully perverse thrill from being the podcast that is rarely ever on the cutting edge or even timely. Two middle aged curmudgeons sit in a noisy diner and dissect just all the places that Detective Pikachu messes up, is inconsistent and doesn't even make a lick of sense when c...
