Episode 111 - Scott Pilgrim TAKES OFF! Underrated gem or disappointing adaptation?
In this week's episode we invited our friend Aaron because he really likes the Scott Pilgrim franchise. We talked everything Scott Pilgrim, from the video game and graphic novels, to the live-action movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, to the recent Netflix animated adaptation, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.
Does this most recent adaptation tarnish the Scott Pilgrim legacy? Does it add any value? Let's discuss.
