SCOTT PILGRIM TAKES OFF SERIES REVIEW
What’s up subspace travelers? If you don’t know who Scott Pilgrim is, stop reading this, pick up the comics and watch Edgar Wright’s movie… Are you finished? Did you get all the plot points? Great, now forget everything you just learned because Scott Pilgrim Takes Off has nothing to do with what you just ingested. Scott Pilgrim Takes Off takes a spin in the first act. Normally the story goes that Matthew Patel challenges Scott to a fight at a Sex-Bob-Bomb show, loses, and we never hear anything from Matthew again and Scott is set up to fight all of Ramona’s evil ex’s. This time however, Matthew beats Scott, apparently killing him. Which sends the whole universe into new territory. Ramona isn’t satisfied with that though, and instead goes on a journey to find Scott, knowing he’s still alive… somewhere. This series is easily bingeable and has the entire movie cast back for the voices. It may not have the same punch/kick the source material has, but it’s a unique spin on an already established world. Scott’s World is now Ramona’s. Join Eliot, Mike, and Chad as they talk about all the evil ex boyfriends they fought to a bloody death-match.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Chad Halvorsen (Screener Squad)
Chad Halvorsen currently resides in Milwaukee, WI, where he produces and edits commercials, films, and everything in between. He was always a fan of film/television growing up, spending days in the Summer, making (terrible) home movies with his brothers. Little did he know that passion would carry on into adulthood. Since 2006, Chad has worked for several agencies in various departments. Shooting, producing, editing, production management, directing, and when forced to, writing copy. In 2015, Chad decided to take the big leap and become a freelancer. Since then, he’s produced content for Lyft, AT&T, Target, and Discovery Network. His passion lies in entertaining people, making them feel better, even for a moment. All the pain and suffering of this business is worth it, if even just one person views his work. Chad is a frequent podcaster, most notably posing as a co-host for the podcast “The Film Illogical Society.”
Mike J. McAllister (Screener Squad, Staff Writer, Head Video Editor)
Mike J. McAllister is a filmmaker, editor, writer and animator. He is also a film junkie, dog lover and Surge-aholic (Hi, Mike). He grew up in a small town in Western Pennsylvania, where he earned the reputation as the “human IMDb” and was on a first-name basis with every video store clerk in town. He later studied film in Pittsburgh. He has since written several unproduced screenplays and TV pilots. He has also produced a number of short films, some of which have appeared in festivals across the country. He is a ninja with Final Cut Pro and is armed with a mind full of mostly useless pop-culture trivia. He also enjoys animation, MST3K, classic video games and being the “music geek” among his friends (which really just means he buys vinyl and listens to music that doesn’t come from an anime soundtrack). He resides in Austin, Texas, and can be followed on the Instamagrams at @ohheyitsmikejm.
Eliot Nelson (Screener Squad, Staff Writer)
Soaked in the soggy rains of Seattle, Eliot developed a love of sci-fi, movies, cartoons, heavy metal, and all of geekdom. Pursuing his passion for the written word, he got his BA from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. He has since worked exclusively in the foodservice industry, like any liberal arts major worth their salt. Eliot wiles away the hours listening to movie reviews, writing his epic sci-fi novel, and consuming as much media as possible. His favorite movies include The Lord of the Rings, City of God, Dawn of the Dead, and Groundhog Day. When not rambling to himself about the ineptness of entertainment executives, Eliot posts infrequently on Twitter and squawks regularly on his podcast The Debasement Tapes.
