Episode 54 - Pokemon 2000

A wild crappy film appears! With the summer film season in full swing, we revisit the sophomore slump of 1999's Pokemon 2000(?)

We're talking the franchise's waning popularity, the film's insistence on not naming its main villain, lousy dialogue rife with exposition and its decision to not focus on Pikachu. Also: a noble yet pointless comparison to Italian neo-realism, fanboy reviews out the wazoo and a familiar face appears as our next film is revealed.

Big hate in this one. Don't miss it!

Episode 21 - Pokemon: The First Movie

Vid Neg's first foray into the world of animation sees them take on the highly experimental, art house classic Pokemon: The First Movie (great title by the way, guys). Get ready to have some nostalgia well and truly smashed as this film really riles the gang up. Why is everyone in this film so stupid? Why is the exposition repeated to the nth degree? Why is Pikachu seemingly the most powerful Pokemon? All this and more, including the gang's experiences with the franchise, including the card game, their best and worst Pokemon, a 10 year old Tim's Pokemon blueprint and a schoolyard skirmish with a real life Miss Trunchbull. Plus Ol sends out a threat to an old Vid Neg foe when he reveals the next episode.
