This week I wade deep into the pool of nostalgia while reading the story of the antics of a twenty-something slacker who fills his abundant free time by playing in crappy bands, making doomed decisions about dating, and generally being a bit of a derpy dude. No, it's not a tale about me in my early twenties, it's the introductory story arc of the saga of Scott Pilgrim. It's a fantastic mixture of humor, music, video games, fight scenes, and all-around nonsense, presented in one fanciful indie-comic format. 

In the second half of the episode, we're joined by Lindsay "Peach" Sanderson who shares an affinity for this particular funny book. We talk about the impact the book had on us, the highs and lows of the comic itself, how we've known a few "Scotts" in our lives, and why it's a good thing we don't find him relatable anymore. 

Also, if you dance with this podcast in the pale moonlight, you'll undoubtedly gain the ability to think you have the proficiency of telepathy.
