Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Next week, Now Playing Podcast will defeat the 7 evil movie podcasts
Scott Pilgrim leaps from the pages of a cult comic series to the big screen in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, directed by Edgar Wright. Blending video game logic, indie rock attitude, and hyper-stylized action, the film follows slacker bassist Scott (Arrested Development’s Michael Cera) as he battles his new girlfriend’s seven evil exes in increasingly absurd showdowns. With rapid-fire editing, comic-book visuals, and a star-studded cast, the movie aims to translate its source material’s quirky energy into cinematic form. But does the adaptation level up into something special, or does all the flashy style leave you reaching for a reset button? The hosts plug in to decide whether this one earns extra lives or fades to black.
