Everyone can use a good laugh right now, and if you need a streaming recommendation, here's one: 2019's "Pokémon: Detective Pikachu."
Unless you were under quarantine the previous 20 years, you know what Pokémon is. The movie in question stars the most famous pocket monster of all, Pikachu. And as odd as it might seem, Ryan Reynolds voices the animated Pikachu. After watching the movie, it'll make sense. Right now, you can watch "Pokémon: Detective Pikachu" for free on Amazon Prime Video if you've got an Amazon Prime membership.
The movie takes place in a world where catching and battling Pokémon is outlawed, and instead, Pokémon live peacefully with humans, working by their sides or living out in the wild. The story follows a young man, Tim Goodman, who comes across an intelligent talking Pikachu. Together they try to solve a mystery about Tim's father.
You can catch "Pokémon: Detective Pikachu" for free on Amazon Prime Video for a limited time, thanks to HBO. Keep an eye out in the film to see all of your favorite Pokémon, as some are more heavily featured than others. I'm holding out hope we'll see some Squirtle Squad action in the already announced sequel, though no theatrical release date has been confirmed.
Sadly, there is no one singing the "Poke Rap" or "Gotta Catch 'em All" theme song in this movie.
