July 30, 2007 | Posted by: The Scope
We set a new record for nerdy podcasts by getting to double digits in female guests with Shane and Adam’s co-worker, Molly. She stops by for our huge Harry Potter show, where we talk about the books, the movies, what’s next for Mrs. Rowling, and even have a little trivia.Also Shane and Jared wax nostalgic about some shady newsstand.

The Scope Puts Its Mark on CONvergence. Again.
July 11, 2007 | Posted by: The Scope
Once again — although in a much more subdued capacity — your Scope hosts (sans Adam, because he’s far too good for costumes, Dr. Who, and the combined smell of B.O. and nacho cheese sauce) crashed the festival known as CONvergence. For those of you that don’t remember, CONvergence is the largest sci-fi and fantasy convention in Minnesota. It’s quite a big to-do in the world of Midwestern geekdom, so we were happy to attend. To make things even more interesting, Jared’s band, Possible Oscar, performed a great set and had an equally great response. Along with semi-frequent Scope guest, John, Jared played a number of songs found on his album, The Wrath of Con, and premiered a new parody based on a U2 classic. Look for it on The FuMP July 13.CONvergence wasn’t all business, however. There were obnoxious amounts of liquor (see picture of our good friend, Mike and his run-in with Scope marketing), Stormtrooper costumes, and G.I. Joe chest hair (thanks, Earl!… Thearl). And it is all documented in a sweet collection of photos. Take a look, and we’ll talk more about our nutty CONvergence experiences on the next episode of The Scope.

VH1 Rips Off The Scope (But We Ripped Them Off First…)
July 9, 2007 | Posted by: The Scope
Attention Scope Fan(base):
The second VH1 World Series of Pop Culture began this week. Color us surprised that a tiebreaker question between teams “The White Russians” and “Remo-Leen-Teen-Teen” was one we used on last year’s Scope World Series of Pop Culture.
The tiebreaker question: Steven Spielberg movies. It really is a case of life imitating art.
At any rate, tune into VH1’s spectacle this week (it really is a fun show for all of you pop culture nerds out there) and be warned: The second edition of The Scope World Series of Pop Culture will return this fall. Feel free to email us at The Scope if you are interested in competing AND if you’ve got some serious pop culture knowledge.

Special Edition: The Scope Transformers Review
July 5, 2007 | Posted by: The Scope
It’s all been building to this, The Scope’s very special Transformers movie review. We watched as a group, so it’s only fitting that we review it as a group. Join us and our ill-fated Nerd Roundtable panel to find out what we liked and what we hated about the film — or is it a movie, Adam?
Send us your feelings about Transformers. Call us at 206-350-7056 or email us at comments@thescopeshow.com; we would really like to know what you think about the whole thing. We will play or read the best of your comments on the next scheduled show, so sleep well knowing the fate of that show rests in your hands.

Micro Movie Review: Live Free or Die Hard
| Posted by: Shane
Live Free or Die Hard
20th Century Fox
1 3/4 StarsLive Free or Die Hard is the fourth installment in the Die Hard film series. It stars veteran actor Bruce Willis as John McClane, the hero of the first three films. The film takes place some 19 years after the first film, and sees McClane face a gang of Internet terrorists led by Thomas Gabriel (Timothy Olyphant.) McClane doesn’t face the baddies alone, however. He’s forced to protect and eventually team up with nerdy computer hacker Matt Farrell (Justin Long, Ed, Jeepers Creepers, The Mac Guy.) Together, they must take out the bad guys, rescue McClane’s daughter, and make sure the baddies don’t wipe out the Internet.
Is Live Free or Die Hard worth your time?
