Episode 152: Poppin’ Ps with Steve Jabs
September 30, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
The brave pod/videocasting experiment pushes forward with another brand-new edition. This time around, Jared, Adam, and Shane try desperately to keep the show short…with mixed results. But they are completely successful in covering all of the nerd news fit to print. And that, and the end of the day, is all that really matters.
Don’t take our word for it. Watch and/or listen (or even better, do both!) and find out for yourselves.
The Scope episode 152 is a big fan of the hot new band, Professor Cat.

Instant Movie Review: Gravity
September 27, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
You want more Scope Fall Film Flam? You get more Scope Fall Film Flam.
This time around, Jared and Shane take in a sneak preview of a movie that’s getting a lot of Oscar buzz. The film is Gravity, starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. These two Hollywood types play astronauts desperately trying to get back to earth after some space junk destroys their shuttle. It’s intense, dramatic, and full of that Dr. Ross Charm™.
If you are wondering what your Scope hosts think of this 3D Sci-Fi spectacular, make sure you listen AND watch this review. Really, the only proper way to enjoy anything Scope-related from now on is to digest it IN EVERY FORMAT POSSIBLE, please. So get to it, fans.
The Scope Gravity instant review will, from now on, carry a fire extinguisher at all times. You just never know…

Instant TV Review: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
September 25, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
Well, Scope faithful, we are one step closer to Marvel taking over every aspect of popular media culture. First, movies. Now, with the new TV show, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Disney wants to bring the popular super hero universe into your television boxes.
This direct spinoff from the Marvel cinematic universe features the return of fan-favorite Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) and his quest to put together a super-awesome spy team determined to save the world every week. And who better to review this eagerly-anticipated program than two real-world super heroes, Jared and Shane? The answer: No One.
So watch and/or listen as your Scope hosts give an instant reaction to the Joss Whedon-directed pilot. You may even learn a thing or two. (Okay, not two. We’ll stick with one.)
The Scope Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. instant review lost the keys to the flying car. Guess we’re hoofing it.

Instant Movie Review: Don Jon
September 23, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
What do you get when you mix autumn movies, tons of porn and uncomfortable sex scenes, and crazy Jersey accents? You get Jared & Shane’s review of Don Jon, the latest entry in The Scope’s Fall Film Flam.
Yes, Joseph Gordon-Levitt wants to be a triple threat (he writes, directs, and stars in Don Jon) and he’s not afraid to tackle some, let’s say, difficult subject matter. But the true test will be if your Scope hosts totally dig what JGL, Scarlett Johansson, and Julianne Moore are doing in this wacky little picture. Oh, did anyone mention Tony Danza’s in it, too? Well, he is. That alone is something you don’t see everyday.
So why don’t you get to watching/listening/downloading the latest review already? Enlightenment and a lot of sexy talk is waiting.
The Scope Don Jon Instant Review isn’t slamming much of anything.

Instant Movie Review: Prisoners
September 18, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
We dip into The Scope reserve forces to enlist guest host Earl to help review the latest entry in the Fall Film Flam, Prisoners. This film has everything: Hugh Jackman sporting dad hair, Jake Gyllenhaal forgetting to do laundry, Melissa Leo brewing her own root beer, Terrence Howard never getting to wear the War Machine armor, Maria Bello taking a nap, and Paul Dano’s right eye. Is the whole better than the sum of these parts? Tune in to find out!
The Scope Prisoners review would never make an intern read pretentious remarks about our artistic intent before each episode.

Episode 151: The 2013 Fall TV Preview
September 16, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
In an action-packed edition of The Scope, Jared, Adam, and Shane take their annual look ahead at all the new TV shows coming to a DVR near you. Fingers crosses for some sort of Girlfriends spin-off.
But new TV wasn’t even close to enough for your three hosts. They also have enough time to discuss alternate names for the NFL team in Washington D.C., spider t-shirt guns, and the power of feather pillows.
So, if you could so kind, listen to and/or watch the most important podcast of the week. And after getting The Nerdist out of the way, do the same for this episode of The Scope. We’d appreciate it greatly.
The Scope episode 151 doesn’t advocate the now-famous “kryptonite dump.”

Episode 150: 2013 Scope Summer Movie Slam In Review
September 9, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
In an historic 150th episode of your favorite podcast, Jared, (barely Adam,) and Shane look back at all the movies reviewed this past summer and try to make sense of it all. Did all of the films deserve the Scope scores they initially received? Well, you’ll have to listen and/or watch to find out! Debates aplenty, yo.
Also, they boys give an update on their Scope New Year’s Resolutions. Can’t remember what that’s about? Don’t worry, neither did one of the Scope hosts. Apparently, Parker Lewis can lose. Still, the phrase “Bakula’s sackula” was coined, so it can’t all be bad.
The Scope episode 150 could so take Greg LeMond in some sort of biking/pedaling challenge.

Episode 149: Video Killed The Podcasting Star (The Scope’s Brave New Adventure)
September 3, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
In this brand-new Scope episode, Jared, Adam, and Shane return to bring the world the finest quality podcast they possibly can muster. More specifically, these handsome gents talk a little pigskin (because it’s that time of year) and a whole lot of news. In the end, Adam feels special for all the airtime he gets.
But wait! How would you ever know these three individuals are handsome? Well, starting this episode, you’ll be able to WATCH The Scope via YouTube as well as listen via the traditional way. Yes, your favorite podcast is blasting off into the future. And it’s going to drag you kicking and screaming, if needed.
So, put on your big boy pants, fire up your computer or smart phone, and jump on the next train to Scopesville. It’s kind of a big deal.
The Scope episode 149 is completely smitten by Kickalicious. You should be, too.
