Yeahhhh whatever

Just an absolute blast from beginning to end, and probably the funniest episode so far.

Chris Evans's performance as Lucas Lee in the movie was one of the best parts of the entire film. He's just as great in this and about as funny.

All of the skating and action was extremely well done too. I loved the fight between him and the paparazzi.

The plot also thickens a bit as we learn Young Neil has written a screenplay that's literally the Edgar Wright movie. What a silly, clever "in-your-face" way of saying this is suppose to be an original take and not a direct adaptation.

And then Lucas and Ramona end on better terms than they had left off. This show continues to take the most unexpected turns and has so far done a pretty good job with it, even without Scott Pilgrim. I'll be curious to see what actually happens to him when he inevitably does return.

Nonstop fun

Just watched and immediately had to write a review. I loved the skateboarding scenes! The music (Tony hawk's pro skater! Brings me back!), the action, the animation. Wow! I can tell they took inspiration from both real skateboarding videos as well as skateboarding video games.

I like how parts of the animation have a different flow - it's like they highlight action shots by slowing down and these "freeze frames" serve as the comic book illustrations.

Plus all the fun Hollywood references and some touching moments in an all-around awesome episode.

The show keeps taking unexpected turns and it's just really well done.
