Scott Pilgrim Takes Offis packed full of references to pop culture as it takes a very meta approach to Scott’s story. This time around, it follows the Toronto bassist as he meets the woman of his dreams Ramona Flowers before things go a bit off-book.
While there’s a lot to unpack with all of the twists and turns in the new Netflix anime, you might not have noticed a cool detail about every title screen. Well luckily, oneRedditorhas rounded up every direct reference to a game or movie in the episode titles, and popped them all together in one handy post.
