Under The Scope | Movie Review: The Hateful Eight (70mm Roadshow)

Cowboys and Quentin. That’s a combo we can all get behind. And that’s exactly what you’ll do when you see Mr. Tarantino’s latest opus, The Hateful Eight.

In this post Civil War drama, Kurt Russell, Sam Jackson, and Jennifer Jason Leigh play a group of mean folk willing to do mean things to each other. Trust me, any more description would not do this tense, smartly-written film justice.

That being said, what do Jared and Shane think of this picture? And does the 70mm presentation add anything to the mix? Is it possible your Scope hosts give The Hateful Eight an unprecedented eight Scope stars? Why don’t you listen to, or even better, watch their on the road review and find out?

The Scope The Hateful Eight review is not as long as the film.

Episode 221: Good Better Best: Star Wars Edition

Can you sense the excitement? In just a few days, Star Wars: The Force Awakens finally will be out in the wild.

In celebration of this huge event, episode 221 of The Scope features an all Star Wars version of the latest Scopesation, Good, Better, Best. Jared, Adam, and Shane talk about aliens, vehicles, blasters, and very little prequel trilogy. That’s cool, right?

Talk about merging the best aspects of Star Wars with the world’s best podcast! It’s a not-to-be-missed edition of The Scope if there ever was one.

So fire up your podcaster, bake up some Wookie cookies, and get ready for a ton of Star Wars talk…talk that will hold you over until December 18th (or 17th if you are cool. And we know you are!)

The Scope episode 221 is not strong enough to pull the ears off a gundark.

Under The Scope | Movie Review: In the Heart of the Sea

Thor and a mean, old, giant white whale. That’s what Ron Howard’s dealing with in his latest film, In the Heart of the Sea.

Starring Chris Hemsworth, this movie tells the story that inspired Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. So yes, there’s a lot of harpoons, blubber, and dried lips. (If you see the flick, you’ll know what that means.)

But the real question is if the Scope’s Jared and Shane bought into this historical ocean tale or they thought the story just took on too much water. Why don’t you check out this latest movie review and find out?

The Scope In the Heart of the Sea review won’t climb into a whale carcass to get every drop of oil.

Under The Scope | Movie Review: Sisters

In an interesting attempt at counter-programming, the movie studio behind the Tina Fey/Amy Poehler comedy, Sisters, has decided to release the film the same day as Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Luckily for the people behind Sisters, your Scope hosts had a chance to catch a sneak preview of the film. (Because we all know which film Jared and Shane would pick on December 18th.)

And, as luck would have it, your Scope hosts liked this little film about two 40-something siblings going back to throw one last party in their childhood home.

But how much did they enjoy it? Why don’t you take a few minutes, listen to (or watch) the latest movie review from The Scope. After hearing what the guys had to say, you just might have another movie to check out after you watch Episode VII.

The Scope Sisters review is amazed by John Cena’s massive arms and neck tattoo.
