Scott earned the power of self respect! Grab your Smashing Pumpkins t-shirt and head down to Sneaky Dees because today we're talking to writer and comedian, Rob Moden, about the comic-book-turned-cult-movie, Scott Pilgrim vs.The World. We chat about Bryan Lee O'Malley's manga, musical and pop-cultural influences, the ways Edgar Wright used his trademark timing to adapt the genre bending story to the screen, how everyone in this movie went on to be mega-famous, and how refreshing it is to see Toronto play a detailed, unobscured version of itself. Plus, a short but lively discussion on the upcoming adaptation, growing older with characters you loved and how that inevitably leads to Scott Pilgrim fighting condos.
