We’re officially kicking off our dive into Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim by revisiting the book that started it all: Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life. How does the book hold up, nearly two decades later? Is Scott still kind of a jerk? Is it still funny? What about the cultural impact of the series? These, you may be surprised to discover, are all things we discuss on the podcast.
…and though this isn’t our discussion of the Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World movie, we do talk a fair amount about how this book fares versus the film. Looking back at the original version of Scott from the book, is Michael Cera the right pick to play our hero? How about the rest of the cast? And most importantly, how would you change the casting of the lead in Edgar Wright’s movie if you had a time machine? We have some thoughts. Are they good thoughts? Tune in to find out!

Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life Synopsis:
Here’s the official synopsis of Scott Pilgrim Volume 1, via Oni Press.
Scott Pilgrim’s life is totally sweet. He’s 23 years old, in a rock band, “between jobs,” AND dating a cute high school girl. Everything’s fantastic until a seriously mind-blowing, dangerously fashionable, rollerblading delivery girl named Ramona Flowers starts cruising through his dreams and sailing by him at parties. Will Scott’s awesome life get turned upside-down? Will he have to face Ramona’s seven evil ex-boyfriends in battle? Short answer: yes. Long answer: Scott Pilgrim, Volume 1.
