    Good show once again. The part with Shane’s dad was really interesting and I love the lighting fast review section.

    I don’t want any more air time. Just a bit of a comment whore to make sure you all know that there are people that listen and love the show.

    I agree. I like the choice of Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark. I think he’ll be able to pull it off.
    I love the new album review format.
    But seriously, BNL got the best review? How does that happen? Aren’t they too kitschy and Canadian to rate anything more than a negative integer?
    ha-ha.
    I can’t wait to see if you review the new Trey Anastasio album when it comes out.
    Also, some dvd reviews would be stellar.
    Keep up the great show.

    G-

    The BNL got the worst review…check the scores above!

    The Scope World Series of Pop Culture is going to be great. We’ll talk soon about participation, I promise!

    Very MANLY show this week. You started off with Sportcenter (or shall we call it Scopecenter) and talked War and Taliban. Okay, we get it. You guys must have picked up Shane’s dad from the hardware store in your Hummer.

    To use Shane’s lingo, the show was tight. The new streamlined “Nerd Degree” was fantastic and the reviews were “hit the post”-esque. And most importantly, your show anally clocked in under its unofficial 80-minute time limit.

    Keep up the good work gang. You are my favorite podcast about nerd and pop culture.
