Episode 107: 2011 Summer Movie Preview (a.k.a. The Possible Oscar Side Project)

April 25, 2011  |  Posted by: The Scope

In this edition of The Scope, your podcasting hosts (sans Adam; he’s too busy eating ham and hunting The Easter Bunny) look into your eyes and give you the full skinny on all of the upcoming summer movies of 2011. And by all summer movies we mean any movie related to comic books, aliens, or vaguely racially-insensitive transforming robots that also are aliens and also found in comic books.

Your Scope duo doesn’t just dissect summer films (nice alliteration, right?) Jared and Shane also shake The Scope review stick at the hottest album in the country, “Wasting Light,” from Foo Fighters (no The, people!) Can Dave G. and Co. get a terrific Scope Score? You’ll just have to tune in and find out, won’t you?

The Scope episode 107 knows the square root of 64 will always and forever be 8.

Episode 106: Songs That Changed Lives And The Lack of a Clever Title

April 11, 2011  |  Posted by: The Scope

What happens when one forgets the notes he scribbled during an episode of The Scope? Well, it starts with an episode title void of any really comedic value. And what about the show description? Well, that’s a lost cause, as well.

So let’s go with what we know for sure. This episode, The Scope takes an emotional journey looking back at songs that changed their lives. It’s a reasonable call your favorite hosts don’t include the most life-changing song of all, Debbie Gibson’s “Electric Youth” in the segment. That would require more brutal honesty than they are willing to give.

It’s also a safe bet your hosts cover some news, talk about politics, and review a great (or not-so-great) current release from a band or solo act that may or may not be relevant this time next year. All in all, it sounds like a pretty awesome episode. You guys should really listen.

And that’s what you get when the show notes are left at home, next to the Star Wars toys and the Voltron robots.

The Scope episode 106 may be forgetful, but The Brickhouse will stay in Shane’s mind forever.
