Instant Movie Review: Ender’s Game
October 31, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
The Fall Film Flam continues! This time, the boys are tackling the big screen adaptation of Orson (not Mork from Ork’s supervisor) Scott Card’s sci-fi novel, Ender’s Game. This film is all about recruiting genius children in order to train them as a space army and Earth’s best hope to defeat the alien Formics. Will Jared (read book) and Shane (can’t read) come away with different opinions? Tune in to find out.
The Scope Ender’s Game review wants to win this battle and all future battles.

Episode 155: A Horse, An Engineer, And Ron Swanson Walk Into A Podcast
October 28, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
After a quick one week break, the Scope team returns with a spooky edition of your favorite podcast. Yes, Halloween is right around the corner, so Jared, Adam, and Shane decided to dress the part. Basically, this means you probably should both watch and listen to this week’s show. The visual part is kinda important, folks.
While Halloween costumes were front and center, there still was time for a healthy dose of Adam’s news presentation. You know the Scope wants every fan to be informed and up to date on all the world events. (Or in this case, video game news.)
So get to downloading and watching already. The Scope Spooktacular awaits!
The Scope episode 155 respects a good fake mustache.

Instant Movie Review: About Time
October 25, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
The Scope Fall Film Flam is back. And this time, Jared, Shane, and Carrie head across the pond for a little British film (from the maker of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Love Actually) called About Time.
Believe it or not, it’s got a sci-fi hook (Dr. Who is nowhere in the vicinity, alas)…
<interrupting transmission>
Jared here. It’s “Doctor Who”, never “Dr. Who”, Shane. And, technically, that’s the show’s title, not the characters name. The character is called “The Doctor”. Just setting the record straight that at least one of your Scope hosts knows a bit about Who — although I wouldn’t consider myself a Whovian. What’s the diminutive of Whovian? Whovianito? Yes, I’m an Whovianito. Right, we’ve settled that. Carry on…
<returning to regular broadcast>…and a bit of decent acting. But will it have enough to pass the Scope quality test? Well, why don’t you get to watching and/or downloading this review and find out? You owe it to yourself…and the Queen Mother. Cheerio, y’all.
The Scope About Time instant review depends on the kindness of strangers to get into the movie.

Instant Movie Review: Escape Plan
October 17, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
You asked for it (no you didn’t), so you get it (even though you didn’t want it)! It’s the latest on-screen teaming of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. These 80s champions of musclebound, explosive action cinema have aged, but they might still have enough charisma to win over a jaded 21st-century audience in Escape Plan. Stallone is a master at escaping prisons, and Awnuld is the man inside who becomes an unlikely partner in the prison break of a lifetime.
The Scope Escape Plan review knows you’re just waiting for Schwarzenegger to shoot the bad guys in slow motion.

Instant Movie Review: The Fifth Estate
October 15, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
Awards season is heating up, and one film with some buzz — at least for actor Benedict Cumberbatch as Julian Assange — is The Fifth Estate. Directed by Bill Condon, this film examines the genesis of Wikileaks. Jared rolls solo in tackling this review for the Fall Film Flam. Can he manage? We’ll release all the facts and let you make an informed decision.
The Scope The Fifth Estate knows now you should probably google what the first through third estates are.

Episode 154: Learning To Love Mashed Potatoes (And Girls)
October 14, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
Episode 154 of The Scope brings a brand-new segment to the show: The Scope’s One To Grow On. You’ll find out what things Jared, Adam, and Shane hated as kids but grew to appreciate in their old age. And, in another revelatory admission, Adam describes his newest secret food podcast. FYI: it’s only about scoopable edibles. (Adam, that might be a little…specific for the average fan. Just saying.)
As always, please be good fans and watch this episode. Or listen to this episode. Please, just digest it in some way. It’s really important. The fate of the world depends on it. Thank you and good night.
The Scope episode 154 must book Adam’s mom as a guest immediately.

Instant Movie Review: Machete Kills
October 11, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
Machete returns in Machete Kills! Danny Trejo is back to scowl his way through another Robert Rodriguez film as the titular unstoppable hero, and Jared and Shane were there to witness the carnage. Machete is joined by a bunch of Rodriguez regulars in an adventure that is sure to slice its way through the bounds of credibility. Just watch out for helicopter blades.
The Scope Machete Kills review will definitely tweet — unlike Machete.

October 7, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
In the latest installment of The Scope, Jared, Adam, and Shane geek it up with another edition of The Nerd Roundtable. Find out what the guys think of GTA, Apple, and parties celebrating getting old. As an added bonus, Shane breaks out his famous “puppy drinking water” imitation and begs Jared’s boss for some phone upgradage. Yes, it’s a jam-packed show to be sure. Make sure you check it out IMMEDIATELY. Adam’s self esteem depends on it.
The Scope episode 153 wouldn’t feed peanuts to elephants.

Instant Movie Review: Captain Phillips
October 4, 2013 | Posted by: The Scope
The Fall Film Flam rolls on with a lovable family tale of high-seas piracy, Captain Phillips. Tom Hanks tackles the titular role and a New Hampshire accent in this ripped-from-the-headlines true story directed by Paul Greengrass. Will Captain Phillips survive? Spoiler alert: he does. Told you it was true story.
The Scope Captain Phillips review always tells its crew to enjoy their coffee.
