Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)
"WE ARE SEX BOB-OMB AND WE ARE HERE TO WATCH SCOTT PILGRIM!" We're tackling a very well received film that tanked hard in the box office, but maybe should be given another shot! This film is somehow both the best video game movie and comic book styled movie we've seen. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is directed by Edgar Wright and stars Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and also a bunch of now super-famous people!
On this Keep or Cancel , there are so many great names, so we're doing another lightning round! (Edgar Write, Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kieran Culkin, Brie Larson, Anna Kendrick, Alison Pill, Aubrey Plaza, Jason Scwartzman, Mae Whitman, Satya Bhabha, and Bill Hader!)
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) is available on Netflix.
Time Codes:
4:32 - Shit We Missed in the Last One
6:24 - Initial Expectations
8:53 - Plot
58:29 - Analysis
1:13:54 - Keep or Cancel
1:47:43 - Into the Phantom Zone?

Rant! - Free Guy and the Paperman Connection
This. Is. A. Rant.
Look, I get mad sometimes and go on long rants and bore my wife quite a bit sometimes. But this time, I went and saw "Free Guy" starring Ryan Reynolds, and it stirred up some controversy in my mind that I need to purge! So, here we are, the first in hopefully a series of rants on the unlikely and very unforeseen connection between the new film "Free Guy" and the 2012 Academy Award winning animated short, "Paperman".
Free Guy (2021) is only in theaters and Paperman (2012) is currently not on Disney+, but is available in low quality on YouTube, or attached to Wreck-It Ralph.
