Instant Movie Review: The Book Thief
November 12, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
Adam rolls solo for a review of The Book Thief. True to form, he manages to exhibit the proper amount of disdain for the format of the show. But did he like the movie? One can never tell with him.

Episode 157: The Butter/Lima Bean Conundrum
November 11, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
Episode 157 of the Scope couldn’t be any more personal. That’s because Jared, Adam, and Shane want to get all of the listeners up to speed on their lives. You know, it’s the Scope Catch ‘Em Up. But for those of you that aren’t familiar, that means a lot of talk about stand-up comedy, Puck Packs, Power Wheels, and weird non-interactions with the mayor of Minneapolis. And don’t miss an average riff on a pretty funny SNL bit. Although Adam wishes he could.
So start downloading/watching and enjoying the latest Scope content. You owe it to the kids.
The Scope episode 157 shall continue practicing mouth thunder/lightning sound effects.

Scope Special Edition: Scoper Bowl VI
November 10, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
Because you demanded it (did you?) The Scope brings you an event so big, it was six years in the making.
In what seems like nearly an annual tradition, Jared and Shane’s Minnesota Vikings took on Adam’s Washington Football Team in a battle so epic, your Scope hosts had to watch it live at Metrodome and record all for your listening pleasure.
That means plenty of yelling, taunting, poor football analysis, and bipolar behavior from Shane. So, yes, pretty much everything you’d expect from something like this.
So please, watch and/or listen to the most special of special Scope events. Isn’t it worth it just to hear Adam’s disgust and disappoint?
Of course it is.
The Scope Special Edition: Scoper Bowl VI will throw as many paper airplanes as it can until the fuzz come to ruin all the fun.

Instant Movie Review: Nebraska
November 8, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
The Fall Film Flam is winding down, but there’s still time for a few more films. The latest from Alexander Payne, entitled Nebraska, dropped into our lap like a prize-winning letter from a sweepstakes company. Now we deliver our review of that film to you in person, and by in person, we mean via audio and/or video.
The Scope Nebraska review would never take two days to drive from Billings, MT to Hawthorne, NE.

Episode 156: Black Eyes, Mike Hunt and Nap Music
November 4, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
You demanded it and the Scope listened! Yes, music correspondent Al returns to the program after a (far too) long absence. This time around, Al helps the gang get all caught up on the latest cool music of 2013. Al wasn’t prepared, however, to go under a bit of the Scope Nerd Degree. You’ll just have to listen/watch to find out how that all went down. But let’s just say we learned about Al’s love of sausage, among many sorid details.
So stop reading and start getting at the latest edition of the Scope. The future of entertainment awaits!
The Scope episode 156 might invest in Shut Up Cuts while placing cold steaks on its bruised face.

October 31, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
The Fall Film Flam continues! This time, the boys are tackling the big screen adaptation of Orson (not Mork from Ork’s supervisor) Scott Card’s sci-fi novel, Ender’s Game. This film is all about recruiting genius children in order to train them as a space army and Earth’s best hope to defeat the alien Formics. Will Jared (read book) and Shane (can’t read) come away with different opinions? Tune in to find out.
The Scope Ender’s Game review wants to win this battle and all future battles.

Episode 155: A Horse, An Engineer, And Ron Swanson Walk Into A Podcast
October 28, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
After a quick one week break, the Scope team returns with a spooky edition of your favorite podcast. Yes, Halloween is right around the corner, so Jared, Adam, and Shane decided to dress the part. Basically, this means you probably should both watch and listen to this week’s show. The visual part is kinda important, folks.
While Halloween costumes were front and center, there still was time for a healthy dose of Adam’s news presentation. You know the Scope wants every fan to be informed and up to date on all the world events. (Or in this case, video game news.)
So get to downloading and watching already. The Scope Spooktacular awaits!
The Scope episode 155 respects a good fake mustache.

Instant Movie Review: About Time
October 25, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
The Scope Fall Film Flam is back. And this time, Jared, Shane, and Carrie head across the pond for a little British film (from the maker of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Love Actually) called About Time.
Believe it or not, it’s got a sci-fi hook (Dr. Who is nowhere in the vicinity, alas)…
<interrupting transmission>
Jared here. It’s “Doctor Who”, never “Dr. Who”, Shane. And, technically, that’s the show’s title, not the characters name. The character is called “The Doctor”. Just setting the record straight that at least one of your Scope hosts knows a bit about Who — although I wouldn’t consider myself a Whovian. What’s the diminutive of Whovian? Whovianito? Yes, I’m an Whovianito. Right, we’ve settled that. Carry on…
<returning to regular broadcast>…and a bit of decent acting. But will it have enough to pass the Scope quality test? Well, why don’t you get to watching and/or downloading this review and find out? You owe it to yourself…and the Queen Mother. Cheerio, y’all.
The Scope About Time instant review depends on the kindness of strangers to get into the movie.

Instant Movie Review: Escape Plan
October 17, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
You asked for it (no you didn’t), so you get it (even though you didn’t want it)! It’s the latest on-screen teaming of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. These 80s champions of musclebound, explosive action cinema have aged, but they might still have enough charisma to win over a jaded 21st-century audience in Escape Plan. Stallone is a master at escaping prisons, and Awnuld is the man inside who becomes an unlikely partner in the prison break of a lifetime.
The Scope Escape Plan review knows you’re just waiting for Schwarzenegger to shoot the bad guys in slow motion.
