Scope episode 36 delayed for one week; hosts beg for forgiveness.
August 26, 2007 | Posted by: The Scope
Yes, it’s true. In what some would call laziness (and that’s just what Adam says), we’re holding off recording and posting our latest episode of The Scope until the first weekend in September.
While this news more than likely brings great sadness, we’re happy to report that episode 36 will be jammed packed with all sorts of super fun content. As you read this very post, feel confident in knowing we’re preparing The Scope 2007 Fall TV Preview. We’ll tell you all you need to know about the upcoming television schedule. And we’ll do it with a smile. Or grimace.
We’ll also have a review of the late summer blockbuster, Superbad. Did we “get it” like all the young hip kids “got it?” You’ll just have to wait a few extra days to find out.
In the meantime, take a look at some of our exclusive online reviews, listen to old episodes of The Scope, and make a difference in the world. That’s really what it is all about.
Thanks for listening!

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.
