Episode 210: The 2015 Summer TV Pre/review

July 27, 2015  |  Posted by: The Scope

It’s been one heck of a Summer TV season so Jared, Adam, and Shane decided to break it down for all of you Scopeaholics.

That means a lot of talk about True Detective, Mr. Robot, and every show on Comedy Central (thanks, Adam!)

And, because The Scope loves you, Mr. Tom Cruise makes an excellent appearance after long absence. It’s good stuff, people.

The Scope episode 210 is quite interested in webshites.

Under The Scope | Movie Review: Pixels

July 23, 2015  |  Posted by: The Scope

Sandler. Dinklage. Gad. As kids, they ruled the arcades of 1982. As adults, they must defend Earth from aliens attacking using skills from their youth in the action comedy Pixels. Is it worth your quarter to watch them work? Does The Scope dogpile on this movie or strike a different opinion? Tune in to find out!

Under The Scope | Movie Review: Vacation (2015)

  |  Posted by: The Scope

Hey, Scope fans! It’s vacation time again! No, that doesn’t mean your favorite Scope hosts are disappearing for a few more weeks in August. We’re talking about the new Ed Helms summer movie, Vacation.

If the title is familiar, it should be. Vacation is a continuation of the extremely popular Chevy Chase series of the 80s. This time around, Rusty Griswold is the man in charge, and he’s taking his family on a cross-country adventure to Wally World, just like he did when he was a teen.

Yeah, it’s been done before. But the question is, can this formula work for modern day audiences? Well, take a listen (or watch, if you are so inclined) to this latest summer movie review from Jared and Shane. They’ll tell you if this holiday road (see what I did there?) is a road worth traveling. Again.

The Scope The Vacation movie review is sad Cousin Eddie didn’t make the trip.

Episode 209: Best Wetstern and That Funny Jewish Man

July 20, 2015  |  Posted by: The Scope

Episode 209 of The Scope is here and this time around, it’s about catching up with your hosts. They’ll talk CONvergence 2015, really awful hotel rooms, and smosh smooch (don’t ask.) And, believe it or not, the guys do it all while keeping the show pretty tight. Amazing!

So sit down and strap in, partner. You won’t want to miss this all-time average episode!

The Scope episode 209 is shame eating a hot dog pizza.

Under The Scope | Movie Review: Ant-Man

July 19, 2015  |  Posted by: The Scope

Well, the last Marvel Cinematic Universe movie of Phase II and of the year is here. Of course we’re talking about Ant-Man, the Paul Rudd-lead film about a tiny super hero with a lot of heart.

Or something like that.

Being the biggest question mark since Iron-Man, everyone who’s anyone has been wondering: will people get behind a weird Marvel character unknown to the general population? Can Marvel hit with another Guardians-type surprise?

Well, let Jared and Shane answer that question with their fantastic and completely insightful review. By the time it’s over, you’ll know what to do. You’ll know what to do.

The Scope Ant-Man movie review isn’t afraid to go subatomic.

Episode 208: The Hot Dog Combover

July 13, 2015  |  Posted by: The Scope

Yeah, it’s been a while since your Scope hosts have recorded a new episode. But you knew, in your heart of hearts, that Jared, Adam, and Shane would someday return.

And that time is now!

In the latest episode, the guys break down all the nerdy news (and boy, there’s a lot of it!) you can handle. And they cover such odd topics as: floppy pizza, Watchmen, and continuous sausage. That’s some pretty varied conversation.

So fire up whatever you fire up to digest The Scope. It’s on!

The Scope episode 208 stars Jake Lloyd as Jared.
