Under The Scope | Movie Review: T2 Trainspotting

March 17, 2017  |  Posted by: The Scope

In the oddly named sequel to the highly influential 1996 film, Trainspotting, Danny Boyle reunites the entire cast a mere twenty years later in T2 Trainspotting. Yes, all of your favorites are back: Spud, Sick Boy, Begbie, and Renton…but middle-aged!

What kind of naughtiness will the gang find? Could this movie ever be as important as the original? Hell, does the world even need the further adventures of Trainspotting? Just sit right back and let Jared and Shane answer all of those questions (and more) in the latest Scope movie review!

The Scope T2 Trainspotting review doesn’t mind a more subtle version of Born Slippy.

Episode 250: The Bouncing Richard

March 13, 2017  |  Posted by: The Scope

In this landmark episode of the Scope, Shane celebrates over ten years of Scope in his own special way, Adam reads the news while worrying about a pronunciation battle, and Jared contemplates Ja-Jar Jar.

The Scope episode 250 isn’t a fan of pissing in the ball pit.

Episode 249: 1980s Cartoon Review — Part One

February 27, 2017  |  Posted by: The Scope

In this retro edition of The Scope, Adam stays out of most of the content that counts, Jared finds out Inspector Gadget didn’t age all that well, and Shane finds out a lot of his favorite 80s cartoons didn’t age all that well, either. Except Robotech. That one still rocks.

The Scope episode 249 remembered most of the Heathcliff theme song.

In this post-Valentine’s Day edition of The Scope, Jared and the gang talk about songs that break hearts and make the tears flow, Adam goes on a soul break, and Shane gets on the Weezer Blue album bandwagon…again.

The Scope episode 248is all about sweat pants and dance belts.

Under The Scope | Movie Review: The Lego Batman Movie

February 13, 2017  |  Posted by: The Scope

For The Scope’s first movie review of 2017, Jared and Shane take a look at The Lego Batman Movie, a pseudo-sequel to The Lego Movie. But this one is all about Batman, his isolated life, and his nine abs. All in lego form!

But the real question is this: can the voice cast of Will Arnett and company carry an entire Lego movie without the likes of Emmet, Unikitty, and Wylstyle? Listen to review and find out!

The Scope The Lego Batman Movie won’t be called “Bat-Boy.”

  |  Posted by: The Scope

In this first Scope episode of 2017, Adam reads his news and announces his two new new bands, Broad Strokes and Good Times, Jared freaks out over the new KFC Chizza, and Shane becomes the newest and most popular rapper in the history of music, Future Flow.

The Scope epsiode 247 loves the phrase, “Apple but whole.”

The December movie event is finally here! Yes, the first non-episode episode of Star Wars is in theaters now.

(That’s the last time it’ll be referred to with the long, unsightly title.)

It’s an exciting time to be a Star Wars fan, with a new movie coming every year. But can Lucasfilm and Disney keep the quality high? Listen to the latest Scope movie review and find out.

The Scope Rogue One review wouldn’t tussle with Vader.

In this edition of The Scope, Jared tries to make sense of the new Trump American order, Adam lobs a gold-plated grenade during his news, and Shane tries to figure out what “sanada-maru” means.

The Scope episode 244 was lost in a slurricane.
