PODCAST: Laser Orgy responds to backlash against Peter Keough's Scott Pilgrim review

We here at Laser Orgy consider ourselves experts on the behavior of nerds on the internet, not least because we ourselves are nerds on the internet. So when we saw the collective shackles raised in response to Peter Keough's review of the "dork-pandering" film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, we felt compelled to respond.

In this episode of Laser Tag -- the first-ever podcast by the Laser Orgy staff -- we ask whether it is acceptable for film critics to review the audience. We talk about comic book adaptations that displeased both fans and non-fans (Watchmen), as well as films that seemed to please everyone (The Dark Knight). We ask whether Scott Pilgrim would have brought in the big bucks at the box office had the film included less dork-pandering. And Ryan and I admit, unashamed, that we laughed at Scott Pilgrim's dork-pandering jokes.
