MFMI has leveled up! Scott Niswander of NerdSync sits down with Larry to dive deep into Edgar Wright's beloved cult classic, SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD. They break down its iconic comic book cinematography, the detailed sound design, and how the film's flawed characters and strong themes unlock a profound depth to one of cinema's most entertaining action romps.
