Scott Pilgrim vs The World - Verbal Diorama

Episode 18

Scott Pilgrim vs The World

Published on: 15th September, 2019

Have you seen that movie by Edgar Wright?

Shaun of the Dead? I love that movie.

No, the other one.

Hot Fuzz - I always quote it!

No, neither of those, the one with the young lad as the lead

Baby Driver! Oh my god, such a cool movie, great soundtrack

None of those! The other other other other Edgar Wright movie!

The World's End?

Get out!


If this conversation has happened to you, you're not alone. Scott Pilgrim vs The World is actually brilliant, but so are all of Edgar Wright's other movies, and so poor Scott Pilgrim tends to be forgotten.


I want to change that. Scott Pilgrim has a phenomenal cast, great music, brilliant fight choreography and more video game references than all video games combined (probably). It about heart, strength, character and defeating your new loves' evil exes. What's more relateable than that?


Most importantly, I've found a new ringtone and a way to swear on the podcast without actually swearing - all thanks to this movie!

About your host

Profile picture for Em .

Em .

Hi! I'm Em. I created Verbal Diorama in 2018, and launched the podcast in February 2019 to rapturous applause and acclaim.... from my cat Jess.

The modus operandi of Verbal Diorama is simple: movies are tough to make! The coming together of a team of people from all walks of life to make something to entertain, delight and educate us for 90+ mins is not an easy task, and yet so many succeed at it. That must be something to celebrate.

I'm here to do just that - to celebrate movies. Their history and legacy, and why they remain so special to so many of us.

Episodes are audibly book ended by Jess. She sadly passed away in March 2022, aged almost 18. She featured in many episodes of the podcast, and that's why you can hear her at the end of every episode. The role of official feline producer is now held by the comparatively quieter Evie and Peggy.

I love podcasts, and listen to many, but never my own.

I unashamedly love The Mummy (1999) and Grease 2. I'm still looking for a cool rider.
