Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) | Stealing From Pizza Pizza


Listen Later

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay grab their amplifiers and head to Lee's Palace to talk 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.' Bombay kicks it off with party stories from the era when the movie takes place — Toronto in the late 2000s — including stealing from the Pizza Pizza on King and Brant, and sneaking booze into cheval on King West. Then the fellas head to battle of the bands to discuss the definitive panel-to-screen comic book movie that is stuffed with visual gags and flourishes that should be exhausting, but somehow works in a charming way. It helps that the film is overflowing with top tier talent including a pre-fame Kieran Culkin as the smarmy gay roommate, and Aubrey Plaza as the foul-mouthed disapproving sister of the titular character. The guys discuss how Scott Pilgrim is low-keyone of the most degenerate main character ever covered on the pod, as he has barely any redeeming qualities, but manages to garner attention from a bevy of beautiful, and talented women. Edgar Wright is able to pull it all together while adding top notch music, and better-than-they-should be action set pieces in what is one of his last great movies.
