Hosts Rebecca Ruiz and Josh Wodarz decide to delve into the world of comic book movies and their soundtracks; well, specifically Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and its soundtrack. The comic book that the Scott Pilgrim movie is based on was heavily rooted in Toronto, Canada’s indie rock scene in the early-to-mid 2000:s. When it came to the soundtrack, those influences are exactly where Director Edgar Wright headed.

So, crack open the beer of choice for this film (Miller High Life Tallboys) and listen to Josh and Becca talk about the slugdy garage rock and slick indie-pop of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
