Micro Movie Review: Grindhouse

GrindhouseGrindhouse
Dimension Films
2 1/4 stars2 1/4 stars

Grindhouse is a double feature consisting of two feature-length segments directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, bookended by trailers for “coming attractions”, advertisements, and in-theater announcements reminiscent of those typical in U.S. theaters in the 1970s.

Rodriguez’s feature is a gory flick called Planet Terror in which a poison gas is released into the air, turning local inhabitants into violent, zombie-like creatures. Tarantino’s contribution to the double feature is called, Death Proof. In this film, a crazy stuntman befriends young women only to lure them into his car and kill them. His plan would have gone perfectly if he only avoided targeting a group stunt women who were more than prepared for his deadly intents…

Is Grindhouse worth your time?

Episode 27: The First Episode of The Second Year of The Scope

Sorry kids. Al, Earl, and John have been put back in their place, and the original hosts have taken the show back. And just in the nick of time too, as Earl threated to come in wearing no pants this time.

In this episode, we take a look back on our first year of The Scope, all the way from completely unfunny podcast without Adam, to hilarious and insightful podcast with Adam. Or at least a podcast with slightly fewer jokes aimed at Adam’s religion.
