• Art Within Art - Beginning our new format kind of, we tackle the concept of creators using art forms, and specific pieces of art, within their own art. It's not as confusing as that sentence makes it sound. Does the inclusion of the comic Tales of the Black Freighter in Watchmen mean the readers are being spoon feed a metaphor, rather than the creators subtly showcasing those same concepts? We discuss. Come with us, won't you?HIDEOUS

Ep. #234 - Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World Commentary

• Intro - Thanks to our sponsors DCBS for offering everything on their site for between 20% and 40% off. You can get the color versions of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels there, and you should absolutely do so, because they're amazing.

• Film Commentary - We recorded a commentary for Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, the 2010 film directed by Edgar Wright, based on the series of graphic novels by Bryan Lee O'Malley. We've seen it a bajillion times. We love it. A gig is a gig is a gig is a gig. Sometimes we just watch the movie, and other times we talk about production of the film, influences, the adaptation of the comic and its successes and possible failures, and at times we discuss Bill Pullman's lika/lovability.
