Listen "Episode 21: Edgar Wright"
Episode Synopsis
pplpod Episode 21 sprints through the fast cuts, visual gags, and mixtape-brain of Edgar Wright—the filmmaker who turned kinetic style into storytelling substance. We trace the Spaced breakthrough and the Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End), then detour through Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’s comic-book grammar, Baby Driver’s choreographed car ballet, Last Night in Soho’s neon time slip, and the love letter doc The Sparks Brothers. Along the way: whip-pans and crash-zooms with purpose, match cuts as punchlines, needle drops that drive plot, storyboard-level precision, and long-time collaborations with Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Nira Park, and Bill Pope. Influence, craft, and why “style” only lands when the heart is in frame.
