Scott Pilgrim vs. The Podcast (Comic Book Club)

The Scott Pilgrim anime is finally here on Netflix, and it is not what you thought it was. We're recapping Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Episode 1, "Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life" on our podcast. What did we think of the mash-up of movie, comic books, and video game? How did we feel about the movie cast returning to their classic voice roles? And what do we think is next after that wild twist ending?

Our Scott Pilgrim podcast continues its trek back from the books that started it all with a revisit of Volume 2, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Now that Scott has defeated Ramona Flowers' first evil ex-boyfriend, he's got to prepare to take on her next one... Movie star Lucas Lee. Or is it Luke Wilson? Meanwhile, Knives Chau is not taking her break-up with Scott well. So who's side are you on: Team Ramona, or Team Knives?

Scott Pilgrim wraps up in Volume 6 with "Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour." But is it our podcast's finest hour? Are we able to finally defeat our arch-enemy, Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim series? In the book, Scott takes the fight to Gideon Graves, Ramona's final evil ex-boyfriend. And pretty much every other character ever comes back, finds closure (of a sort), and joins in the final battle against Gideon (not the cat). We break down our thoughts on this final volume, the series as a whole, and prepare for our bonus round versus the movie adaptation.

We're officially kicking off our dive into Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim by revisiting the book that started it all: Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life. How does the book hold up, nearly two decades later? Is Scott still kind of a jerk? Is it still funny? What about the cultural impact of the series? These, you may be surprised to discover, are all things we discuss on the podcast.

...and though this isn't our discussion of the Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World movie, we do talk a fair amount about how this book fares versus the film. Looking back at the original version of Scott from the book, is Michael Cera the right pick to play our hero? How about the rest of the cast? And most importantly, how would you change the casting of the lead in Edgar Wright's movie if you had a time machine? We have some thoughts. Are they good thoughts? Tune in to find out!

It's finally time on our Scott Pilgrim podcast: we're revisiting Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, the movie based on Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim series. First released in 2010, the movie has become a cult classic thanks to Edgar Wright's sharp direction, and the stellar cast including Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Chris Evans, Brie Larson, and so many more. But how does it hold up, 13 years later? And what about the alternate ending originally filmed that sent Scott off with Knives? We're diving into it all faster than you can say "bread makes you fat." Plus, Alex gives us a report from the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off panel at New York Comic Con.
