55. Watching Scott Pilgrim Takes Off to Date the Evil Exes

This week on Episode Epiphanies, Natasha makes Jessica watch Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, a Scott Pilgrim cartoon about... Scott Pilgrim. (We do spoil the plot of this show in a pretty big way, so warnings all around.) We discuss Ramona's reputation as a manic pixie dream girl, Scott's questionably platonic bed-sharing with Wallace, and Netflix's hot guy algorithm. (Netflix thinks I am a Gen Z teen given what it's serving up as "hot guys.") Finally, we invent the newest spin-off in the Scott Pilgrim universe -- a Scott Pilgrim dating sim where you must date all of Ramona's evil exes. Does this make sense? Probably not. Am I going to dedicate the rest of my life to making it a reality? 100%. Will Jessica commit to dating this show's seven evil exes? Or will she take off? You'll have to listen to find out.
