Episode 124: The LongShort Show And The Wacky Alien Addition Audition

May 28, 2012  |  Posted by: The Scope

The Scope returns  with a “back to basics” kind of vibe.

How so?

Well, third-wheel Adam fails to make it in (something something life outside of basement podcasting) and instead friend-of-the-show Earl makes a dramatic reappearance on the show that catapulted him to international fame. Together with Jared and Shane, the gang takes on an old Scope show classic, The Nerd Roundtable. Many things geeky and circular were discussed.

And, because it’s summertime, Jared and Earl continue the Scope review-fest with the latest Will Smith (Hitch) talkie, Men In Black 3. We hears there’s aliens in it. Crazy!

By the way, can you believe Will Smith has been nominated for two Oscars? Insanity.

The Scope episode 124 took those broken wings and learned to fly again and learned to live so free.

Scope Special Edition: Battleship Review

May 17, 2012  |  Posted by: The Scope

Well, the summer movie season is finally here and The Scope is proud to once again bring the first instant review of 2012, recorded right after leaving the theater! This time around, Jared and Shane tackle Battleship (from the makers of The Transformers! Yes, that’s supposed to get you into the cinema.)

Because board game-inspired films is what this world really needs.

At any rate, Battleship raises a few questions. Can Friday Night Lights guy Peter Berg direct something that doesn’t look to copy Mike Bay? Does Liam Neeson tie glass to his hands so to better battle the battleship battlers? And when exactly does Smash’s momma come and talk some serious sense into the entire cast?

So please, listen to this special edition of The Scope and learn more than you care about the movie that aims to “sink” Marvel’s The Avengers at the box office. (Insert eyeroll here.)

The Scope Battleship Movie Review Special knows there’s nothing sexier than a shaggy-haired Rihanna in camo aggressively whispering “Boom” as she launches missiles at CG alien space cruisers.

Episode 123: Scope Smash – 2012 Summer Movie Preview

May 7, 2012  |  Posted by: The Scope

It wouldn’t be summer if your Scope pals didn’t spend an episode covering all the big film releases between May and August (and by all films we really mean movies with super heroes, laser guns, and female nudity.)

Kicking off the season in style, Jared, Adam, and Shane give you, the loyal listener, a tremendous review of one of the most anticipated super hero films ever, Marvel’s The Avengers. Yes, we are so on top of things.

Oh, we also abandon the geek stuff just a little bit and talk athletics for fifteen minutes. Because what’s better than spending a quarter of an hour on the worst sports market in America?

The Scope episode 123 will never trust Uncle Sugar, no matter what Steve King says.
