Under The Scope | Movie Review: Insurgent
March 19, 2015 | Posted by: The Scope
What’s your faction? I hope it’s not Abnegation, because they didn’t fare so well in Divergent, and they are pretty much missing from Insurgent. But all the other factions are represented in some fashion here in the second in what is now being called The Divergent Series of films. Don’t know or care what a faction is? Well, um, maybe go see The Gunman instead, because this film is all about factions. And the factionless. And VR simulations. Oh boy.
The Scope Insurgent review was waiting for Brad Pitt to pop on screen to wonder “What’s in the box?”

Under The Scope | Movie Review: Chappie
March 5, 2015 | Posted by: The Scope
Should Neil Blomkamp’s latest South African sci-fi movie, Chappie, really be called Crappie? Well, your two favorite Scope hosts (Jared and Shane, of course) brave the cold arctic air to find out.
If you didn’t know, Chappie is about a crazy police robot that gets artificial intelligence and then learns about the world around him from an assortment of pretty unlikable people.
Also, a heist.
And Hugh Jackman as a mean, mulleted Crocodile Hunter wannabe.
Anyway, check out the latest film analysis from your Scope crew, either by using your eyes and ears (video with sound) or just your ears (podcast with sound.) Whichever path you take, it’s a guarantee there will be no disappointment!
The Scope Chappie review wonders who taught Anderson Cooper to pronounce the word, “robot.”

Under The Scope | Movie Review: Hot Tub Time Machine 2
February 20, 2015 | Posted by: The Scope
It’s a hot tub. It’s a time machine. It’s a sequel. All your favorites are back — unless your fave was more than just a photo of John Cusack, in which case, you are SOL. Plus, Adam Scott joins the fun as someone named Adam. Huh. This time the gang travels to the future and discovers their love of dick jokes respects no temporal boundaries. Is this film better served by a state of black-out drunkenness? Listen in to find out.
The Scope Hot Tub Time Machine 2 fondly remembers its first Mötley Löu concert.

The Scope episode 201 specializes in giant waves of pop culture goodness.

Under The Scope | Movie Review: Jupiter Ascending
February 4, 2015 | Posted by: The Scope
The long-delayed sci-fi epic, Jupiter Ascending, is finally arriving in theaters and two of your Scope hosts have a few things to say about the latest talkie from the Wachowski siblings.
Yes, Jared and Shane are at it again, reviewing movies for all! The guys have *a lot* to say about this massively expensive film. Will Jared dig Mila Kunis’ performance? Does Shane swoon at Channing Tatum’s muscles and intergalactic flying speed skating boots? Does Jupiter Ascending live up to legacy of The Matrix? Well, the answers all exist within this, the most important review The Scope has ever done!
Digest it now.
The Scope Jupiter Ascending review is not the one-hit-wonder equivalent of Dexys Midnight Runners.

Episode 200: The Scope 200th Episode Celebration
February 2, 2015 | Posted by: The Scope
Episode 200. The most momentous event in all of Scope show history (followed closely by the time Adam attended three show tapings in a row back in 2009.)
Yes, Jared, Adam, and Shane have been at this podcasting thing a long time. In celebration, these three blokes thought it would be cool if they tackled some serious Scope trivia. What arcane factoids will Jared and Adam recall from almost nine years of recordings? Well, fire up your podcaster device of choice and find out!
It’s 200 shows, yo! 200 shows! Long live The Scope!
The Scope episode 200 realizes it might have a bit of a thing for JJ Abrams. (Listen and find out what that means.)

Under The Scope | Movie Review: Project Almanac
January 30, 2015 | Posted by: The Scope
In this, the latest Scope movie review, Jared and Shane tackle the Michael Bay produced teen-time travel and oft delayed motion picture, Project Almanac. This found footage film tells the story of a group of high school seniors who create a time machine and then go and muck up the space-time continuum. (Editor’s note: the word “time” was used three times in two sentences. Too much?)
Find out if your Scope hosts can make sense of the movie’s science, if they’d do anything for love, and if they can figure out where the movie’s main character’s mother disappeared to for most of the film. It’s high brow stuff.
The Scope Project Almanac review knows an XBOX-360’s graphic processor would never really be able to power a time machine. How bush league.
