Exclusive Episode: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

This month's patron-exclusive is a bonus episode on Scott Pilgrim vs. The World! It is a favorite film of all of ours, and it contains an infinite number of things to gush about as well as analyze.

Thank you so much for supporting Beyond the Screenplay! Let us know what other movies you'd like to have us cover in these patron-exclusives!

The Emoji movie haha actually that would be pretty fun! Finding the good in terrible movies (or trying to)

One of my favourite movies ever!! Thanks for covering

If I am correct, they've shot 2 endings — one, where Scott stays with Knives, one with Ramona. And after test screenings they decided to end with Ramona.

Hey, not sure if this is too old now for anyone to reply on. Watched It again this week. Does anyone else find the end weird? It seems to setup that Scott sees Knives as the one he wants after all and they even have a moment but it flips back to flowers immediately. The whole fight with Gideon seems to me to show that knives should be his choice. Not sure, just felt funny.

Thanks so much for this episode! So fun to hear you guys gushing voer this film, its so perfect. Take care, guys!

To the discussion of why it bombed at the box office, I think the fact that it came out after Kick-Ass really killed it and the fact that it had Michael Sera just put a bad taste in people's mouths cuz the Judd Apatow saturation was at a peak at that point.

I honesty don’t feel like this movie gets talked about enough. The imagination it took to make this film is incredible. I was blown away the first time I saw it. I will never forgive roger ebert for not reviewing this.

This was such a fun episode! Thank you for doing this even with all that is going on right now in the world. Sitting down and listening to an hour of you guys discussing movies is something I needed this week. As far as suggestions for future topics... This is a series, not a movie, so I’m not entirely sure it would qualify, but I’d love to hear you guys discuss Avatar: The Last Airbender, especially considering a Netflix live action is on the works. Because this is an early 00s animated series that aired on Nickelodeon, it is is easy to dismiss it as a “just a kids shows,” but ATLAB tells an amazing story, with great character arcs, and a very unique fantasy world that we don’t see a lot of in Western media. The action scenes which mix eastern martial arts with magic to create bending are also beautifully choreographed and are very revealing of world and character. The fact that they managed to do all that and tackle topics like loss, war, genocide, and abuse while still making she show accessible to their target audience is also incredibly admirable (I can personally confirm it works as I was 12 when the series came out, so right at the show’s targeted demographic).

Great episode, Scott Pilgrim is definitely one of my favorite movies too. Now someone need to seat Tricia down and make her watch Baby Driver! :) Also you guys should do an episode on Amélie.

Mad max fury road!

I would love for the panel to discuss Ex Machina in depth. That movie is brilliant and beautiful. Also I wouldn’t mind an episode discussing a lesser-known Coen Brothers movie like Inside Llewyn Davis or A Serious Man.

You guys should do something famously bad for a patron exclusive. Like the Emoji Movie or The Room and seriously try to extract lessons from them. I think there's a lot that could be learned from that.
