Under The Scope | Movie Review: Guardians of the Galaxy
July 30, 2014 | Posted by: The Scope
Summary text. What do I write? This is why I have Shane write them, but he’s on vacation. Anyway, Director James Gunn brings to life the cosmic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Guardians of the Galaxy. Our cast of ne’er-do-wells reluctantly works together (at first) to save galaxy and bring smiles to the audience. Do the succeed on both counts? Let’s find out!
The Scope Guardians of the Galaxy review has at least 13% of a plan.

Under The Scope | Movie Review: Lucy
July 29, 2014 | Posted by: The Scope
Scientists say we only use 10% of our cerebral capacity. No they don’t, but Hollywood does, and it sure feels like they only used 10% of their brains when they put together Lucy. Scarlett Johansson’s Lucy is an unwitting drug mule whose brain power grows once the drugs leak in her gut and her body reacts. And then things really get incomprehensible. Also, sparkly USB thumb drive.
The Scope Lucy review always drives against traffic to get there faster.

Episode 183: Mr. Produce and the Tale of Big, Thick Corneas
July 28, 2014 | Posted by: The Scope
In this edition of The Scope, Adam and Shane tell the story of their recent Lasik surgery (the horror!) while Jared tried to get in on the fun by chatting about CONvergence and a summer TV follow-up. There’s also talk of proper fruit basket fruits and the origins of cranberries.
Overall, it’s a well-rounded show. You really should check it out. Adam and Shane’s new bionic eyes beg you.
The Scope episode 183 is confirming the existence of 23 Jumpstreet. Now some go tell Tatum and Hill.

Episode 182: Churchill vs. Washington: The Battle to Isolate Gay Adoption
July 21, 2014 | Posted by: The Scope
Adam returns after a month-long hiatus! And the Scoperverse rejoices! And he’s just in time because there’s tons of news, TVShirt.com info, and painful Taco Bell fart talk to cover. So why don’t you get to digesting this power-packed edition of the Scope? You’d hate yourself if you didn’t!
The Scope episode 182 maybe be lacking a clever line to end this sentence…but it doesn’t mean it wasn’t trying.

Under The Scope | Movie Review: Sex Tape
July 18, 2014 | Posted by: The Scope
In this, the latest edition of The Scope’s 2014 summer movie season, Jared and Shane take one for the team by watching Sex Tape, a “raunchy” comedy starring Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel. Directed by Jake Kasdan, this uneven picture tells the tale of a married couple that must reclaim the sexy video they accidentally sent out to friends, colleagues, and even the mailman via a buttload of used iPads.
Yes, it’s as ridiculous as it sounds.
So skip the movie and spend all your time listening to (or watching!) Jared and Shane try to find constructive things to say about this movie. You won’t be disappointed. But if you are, at least you didn’t have to look at Jason Segel’s butt as much as your Scope hosts did.
The Scope Sex Tape movie review would be 96% better with a Rob Lowe cameo.

Episode 181: Rappin’ with Nerd Rage Toys
July 14, 2014 | Posted by: The Scope
In this edition of The Scope, Jared and Shane (Adam is too busy with Grindr to show up) talk to entrepreneur and vintage toy expert Jeno about his very cool business, Nerd Rage Toys. The guys get into deep conversation about psychological impact of commercialism on children, how toys may or may not subliminally encourage kids to accept and act out violence, and how toys have limited imagination.
Yeah, right. Mostly we talk about how cool G.I.Joe, Transformers, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are.
If that weren’t enough, The Scope put Jeno and all of his Nerd Rage through a toy-focused Nerd Degree super quiz. Make sure you listen all the way through to see how he did!
The Scope episode 181 wonders how much the Taliban really likes The Bee Gees.

Under The Scope | Movie Review: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
July 13, 2014 | Posted by: The Scope
We return to the start of the beginning of the buildup to the launch of the rise of the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Simian Flu has wiped out most of the human race. Meanwhile, apes have multiplied and established their own civilization. Film budgets have also multiplied; those performance capture rigs aren’t cheap. Ultimately, humans and apes will clash, and someone’s gonna ride a horse holding two machine guns. No, the horse isn’t holding machines guns, the ape is holding machine guns. Why? Because he’s smart. If you were smart, you’d double fist hardware, too. Where was I? Oh right…
The Scope Dawn of the Planet of the Apes review will remember to print out our most important photos before the power goes out for good.
