Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is 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, one Redditor has rounded up every direct reference to a game or movie in the episode titles, and popped them all together in one handy post.
You can take a look at the full gallery of comparisons below to see if you spotted any of them. Some of our favorites include the niche nod to EA’s Skate or Die! in episode 4, the Fast and Furious sequel reference, and Street Fighter 2 getting a callout.
