Every week, guests (or just me!) will discuss various films featuring 'manic pixie dream girls,' or MPDGs. MPDGs are whimsical, quirky, and eccentric fantasy women whose only purpose is to save the male protagonist from himself; thus, aside from the above attributes, are flat characters. Music featured will be from the film soundtrack or songs that fit โจ๐ฝ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ผโจ of the characters or settings.
Scott Pilgrim vs The World
This week, we talk about Scott Pilgrim vs the World (2010) and their usage of MPDGs as a way to reinforce Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera)'s egocentrism.
