Episode 79: The Mysterious Case of Matrices, Dirty Sanchezies, and the Missing Square Root of 64

August 31, 2009  |  Posted by: The Scope

After months of harassment from N.O.W., we finally let another woman co-host the show who isn’t named Molly. Kerri (with a K) stops by to fill in for an A.W.O.L. Adam and prove that superfans can actually make it on the show. Only in America.

We also bring back “North Shore Trivia,” a classic (because we say it is) Scope show bit. It’s made even better by listening to Kerri squirm as we force her to answer the questions. Keep in mind, she’s practically a genius. Or that’s what she tells us.

We also hammer out three solid reviews including one for Quentin’s latest film. You gotta love the giant pipe, yes? Or is that, “Ja?”

The Scope Episode 79 isn’t intimidated by anything named, “Sloshdat.”

Episode 78: Adam And His Amazing Bladder

August 17, 2009  |  Posted by: The Scope

Much to the disappointment of nearly everyone in the podcasting community, this episode marks the return of The Scope after our one month summer hiatus. We may sound a little rusty this time around…but who are we kidding? We usually sound a little rusty.

Speaking of Rusty, we give tribute to 80s movie maker John Hughes (Rusty was the name of the son in Hughes’ National Lampoon’s Vacation; look it up, slackers) and Adam is too lazy to come into the studio but more than willing to monopolize the first part of the show talking about his latest travel disaster. Yes, it was even in the news.

Speaking of disasters (see how we’re doing it?) we review the G.I.Joe movie as well as spend a little time with new Scope show-regular Mike talking about the history and trivia of the Joe Universe.

Speaking of the Joe Universe, we also give a nearly-instant review of District 9 (Hmm. That transition didn’t work nearly so well.)

That’s a lot of content for one Scope show. Show your appreciation by listening with glee, sending comments and voicemails, and reviewing us in iTunes. Oh, hell, become a fan of us in Facebook while you are at it.
