Scott Pilgrim vs the World

Episode 18: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)

Theme: Movies About Music
Hosts: Oz & Curtis

This week, Oz and Curtis button-mash their way into Scott Pilgrim vs. the World — the 2010 hyperactive, sugar-fueled comic-book-video-game-rom-com where Michael Cera punches his feelings, Toronto is inexplicably the center of the universe, and dating a girl means legally agreeing to fight seven increasingly unhinged exes.

Join your two favorite low-HP podcasters as they break down:

• Why Scott Pilgrim is the only man alive who can be both narcissistic and insecure at Olympic levels.

• How Ramona Flowers has more emotional baggage than O’Hare Airport on Thanksgiving weekend.

• Why Wallace Wells deserves his own spin-off called Queer Eye for the Straight Disaster.

• How Chris Evans, Brie Larson, and Brandon Routh somehow all showed up in the same movie before they exploded into actual superheroes.

• And the eternal mystery of why Scott and Wallace sleep in a bed that has the population density of a zoo enclosure.

From 8-bit Universal logos to bass-battle telekinesis, from vegan police raids to weaponized back-of-the-knee pokes, Oz and Curtis dive into Edgar Wright’s most chaotic fever dream — a movie that is somehow a romance, an action comedy, a graphic novel, an arcade game, and a hipster time capsule all at once.

Final Verdict:

Oz — Seven Evil Exes out of Seven
Curtis — Seven Trillion Coins
Both — Still in lesbians with this movie.
