Episode 179: Incorrect Cheese Curds

June 30, 2014  |  Posted by: The Scope

The good news: your Scope show is back! The bad (or better, depending on your perspective) news: Adam is out on assignment. That means Jared and Shane have to hold down the fort, filling in for all the stuff Adam usually does. Believe it or not, it’s more than sighing loudly and occasionally saying something somewhat sarcastic.

This episode is all about News! News! News! So it’s best if you get to digesting it now to make sure everything is as fresh and current as possible! Also, you might get a little vamping with Sia…and that’s always a good thing.

The Scope episode 179 wants a Putin plunger and it wants it now.

Under The Scope | Movie Review: Transformers: Age of Extinction

June 26, 2014  |  Posted by: The Scope

Let’s get this out of the way: Transformers: Age of Extinction is bad. Really bad. Worse than Go-Bots cartoon bad. And your Scope hosts, Jared and Shane, could not hide that disgust in their latest Scope summer movie review.

There’s nothing good in Michael Bay’s latest endeavor. Whether you talk about the acting, the plot, the product placement, the treatment of women, the treatment of minorities, the lack of Dinobots, or the loud, bombastic special effects…it’s all damaging to your soul.

So do yourself a favor. Skip the latest Transformers film and instead check out what The Scope has to say about it. You’ll save yourself two hours of your life and you’ll get to here Jared and Shane crackle with indignity like never before. It’s glorious. We promise.

The Scope Transformers: Age of Extinction movie review is not sponsored by the following products: Red Bull energy drink, Beats Pill Speaker, Armani Exchange, My Little Pony, Victoria’s Secret, GM, Lamborghini, Bugatti, some weird Chinese milk drink box, and most of all, Budweiser.

Episode 178: The Boogie Monster and Summer Music of 1984 (Part 2)

June 16, 2014  |  Posted by: The Scope

Yes, it’s part two of the Summer Music of 1984 spectacular! Yes, Ron “BoogieMonster” Gerber, host of Crap From the Past, is back to tell you all about it. Yes, we talk about obsolete audio containment formats. Yes, we also get the final word on the quality of that summer of music from Ron. And yes, Adam would rather be talking about Linkin Park.

Sounds like a pretty damn good show, right? Well, it is. So download it. Or watch it. Or stream it. But please, just ingest it. And tell all your friends and family about it, too.

Scoot!

The Scope episode 178 wants to recast Professor X with the lovably-gruff Sean Connery.

Episode 177: The Boogie Monster and Summer Music of 1984 (Part 1)

June 9, 2014  |  Posted by: The Scope

In the the first of a special two part episode, The Scope welcomes back Ron Gerber, the professor of pop music and curator of the excellent radio program, Crap From the Past, to discuss the summer music of 1984. But, in true Scope fashion, the guys spend a good portion of part one talking about music stuff that happened *before* 1984.

Classic Scope.

That being said, this is still one interview you won’t want to miss. You’ll learn more about Michael Jackson, MTV, and growing up in the 80s than you can imagine.

So tell us, why are you reading this and not listening to 177?

The Scope episode 177 knows a bit about Kelly Pickler and isn’t afraid to wait two years to tell you about it.

Under The Scope | Movie Review: Obvious Child

June 4, 2014  |  Posted by: The Scope

Not every summer movie has to have giant robots, laser guns, explosions, and super heroes. Nothing proves that more than Obvious Child, a small little Sundancey film starring former SNL cast member Jenny Slate. This picture tells the tale of a struggling stand-up comic who’s lost her boyfriend, about to lose her job, and is unexpectedly made preggers from a one-night stand with a guy that may or may not be her type.

And it’s a comedy. Really!

You’ll want to definitely check out this summer movie review because it’s fully-loaded with all three Scope hosts as well as one additional critic. Also, Shane fumbles through 2/3 of his words so mockery is in full effect. So, please, check it out, won’t you?

The Scope Obvious Child review wears weird, over-sized sweaters whenever possible.

Under The Scope | Movie Review: How to Train Your Dragon 2

June 3, 2014  |  Posted by: The Scope

It’s a family affair in the latest entry into The Scope’s Summer Movie Review-a-thon. This time around, Carrie, Audrey, and Shane take on the challenge that is How to Train Your Dragon 2. The sequel to the surprise 2010 animated film features tons more dragons, dragon training, and fire swords.

Yes, fire swords. You’ll have to see it to believe it.

Unfortunately, the review is audio only. But because Shane’s family is so powerful and, frankly, so good at movie reviewing, it really doesn’t matter. You’ll love it anyway.

The Scope How to Train Your Dragon 2 review can spit fire with the best of ’em.

Episode 176: The Front Fart Chronicles

June 2, 2014  |  Posted by: The Scope

Returning from the usual one week per month sabbatical, your Scope hosts were energized and ready to bring the masses some serious podcasting power.

And then episode 176 happened and some unfortunate “Would you rather?” questions came up.

But, in all seriousness, Adam totally killed the news this week with tons of great video game coverage. And the guys also threw out some terrific instant reviews of Godzilla and the latest X-Men movie. But don’t take it from this text. Get downloading this masterpiece now to see/hear what we’re talking about!

The Scope episode 176 is totally cool with a “Miss It” from time to time.
