In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast host Mike DeAngelo gets killed off in episode one while discussing “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.” The Netflix series is based on the Bryan Lee O’Malley Manga book series and the Edgar Wright-directed cult hit film of the same name and follows an alternate take on Scott Pilgrim falling in love with Ramona Flowers, only to find that he has to fight her seven evil exes. The animated show sees all of the film cast returning, including stars Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kieran Culkin, Chris Evans, Anna Kendrick, Brie Larson, Alison Pill, Aubrey Plaza, Brandon Routh, Jason Schwartzman, and more.
Joining Bingeworthy to discuss the hilarious new take on Scott Pilgrim are the co-showrunners, Bryan Lee O’Malley (Creator of Scott Pilgrim) and BenDavid Grabinski (“Happily,” “Are You Afraid of the Dark?”). During the interview, O’Malley and Grabinski discussed the origins of the series.
