This sort of attention to detail is what sets Edgar Wright apart as a comedy director. Most comedy is just funny people standing and talking to each other. The direction is lazy and boring.

Not Wright though. A great summary of what he does that others don't: https://youtu.be/3FOzD4Sfgag

Hope he keeps going with new episodes. It really makes you enjoy movies more. Although I still owe myself to make a Kurosawa marathon (never seen any of his movies).
