Under The Scope | Movie Review: Central Intelligence

June 16, 2016  |  Posted by: The Scope

With the official first day of summer right around the corner, Scope show regulars Jared and Shane hit the cinema to take aim at a warm-weather film hoping to make huge box-office coin.

The movie: Central Intelligence, featuring action star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and funnyman Kevin Hart. In this “odd couple/buddy” pic, two high school friends are swept up into spy caper, replete with all the comedic trimmings one would expect.

But the real question is this: can Mr. Johnson and Mr. Hart overcome their well-known cinema stereotypes and create a film that aims higher than many of their previous outings? Well, it’s easy to find out. Just get to listening (or watching, if that floats your boat) the latest from your Scope friends!

The Scope Central Intelligence review is like chocolate Google.

Episode 235: Who You Gonna Call? ADAMatic!

June 13, 2016  |  Posted by: The Scope

Well, just by the title alone, you can definitely get the sense Adam did not return to The Scope for another edition of The Nerd Roundtable.

Instead, Jared and Shane soldiered on as a power-pop duo, talking about Star Wars, Ghostbusters, and the new Hasbro Cinematic Universe.

Even though Adam was missing, his robotic replacement, ADAMatic 2.3.1, popped by the studio to demonstrate his wry wit and angry computer outbursts.

At least it didn’t make Shane cry. He can be quite sensitive.

The Scope episode 235 still waits for Adam’s summertime return…

Episode 234: 2016 Summer Preview

June 6, 2016  |  Posted by: The Scope

In the first Scope show of the summer, Jared and Shane break down all of the movies and TV shows you need to check out.

It’s probably clear, by this point in the summary text, Adam wasn’t a part of this incredible endeavor. It’s a point of contention, but for every setback comes opportunity. In this case, it might be the return of everyone’s favorite AI, ADAMatic. You’ll just have to tune in!

The Scope episode 234, even with plentiful references to a planet of diarrhea, misses Adam. Will he be back in time for episode 235? Find out next time…
