Episode 72: The Curious Case of the Missing Soundtrack
May 11, 2009 | Posted by: The Scope
It took some work — listen to the episode for the explanation — but before you is the latest episode of The Scope. Earl joins us for a discussion of all things Star Trek, including our spoilerific review of the new film. Also, Shane sees dead people, Earl and Jared talk murder, and The Scope joins the throngs of media outlets talking about Brett Favre.

Episode 71: Can I Get a Drip-Drip: The Captain Planet Doobage Hour
April 27, 2009 | Posted by: The Scope
It’s time for The Scope Summer Movie Preview, the segment in which we act all important and informed about the summer movie season, when the reality is we won’t see a large portion of the films. But first, special guest John Norton drops in to announce his new podcast, “Zero Hour with John Norton.” We say it’s awfully fortunate his name is John Norton, otherwise that’s a very awkward title for a show.
All that, plus Adam indulges himself with an extended news segment that constitutes a large portion of the show’s bulbous running length. As usual, he doesn’t get any help from the rest of us with keeping things tight. You’ve been warned.

Episode 70: Monkeying Around With Bodies
April 13, 2009 | Posted by: The Scope
After getting all hot and bothered on the previous show, Jared and Shane are joined once again by “I play when I want to play” Adam for a fan-driven 70th episode. The guys, after promising for months to answer listener-submitted questions, finally deliver the goods.
Word of warning: if the show isn’t as awesome as it usually is, you have only yourself to blame; your Scope hosts can only be as good as the questions submitted. If the show soared, feel free to pat yourself on the back. If it sputtered, feel free to verbally abuse yourself. (It’s what we do after every show. Try walking in our shoes, punks!)
The gents also review the latest from The Doves and try something never attempted: an instant random review of a long gone television program. Frasier and Ray’s wife, we hardly knew ye.

Episode 69: In The Midst Of Our Business
March 30, 2009 | Posted by: The Scope
In an unprecedented event, Adam skips out on another recording of America’s 1,256th favorite podcast about geeks and pop culture. Why would he do that? Our guess is to work on his current passion project: hydroponic eggplant farming. Don’t ask. He won’t tell.
After listening, we’re sure Adam will be kicking himself. He missed out on the most unsexy sexy episode of the Scope ever. Yes, the show was dedicated to the number “69” and all of the naughtiness that goes with it.
While The Scope didn’t get all that nasty, Jared and Shane did tell some moderately embarrassing stories about past sexual transgressions. Newsflash: the guys were not the ultimate lady-killers you imagined them to be. (Insert uncomfortable serial-killer comedy here.)
We also let some of our
listenerslistener get in on the act by reading her embarrassing story live! And Metrobuzzer John Norton comes through big time with one of the mostimpactfulsicktwistedtruthful voicemails ever. Don’t taze me, Dude!Reviews

Episode 68: Adam’s New Job As White House Press Secretary
March 16, 2009 | Posted by: The Scope
After receiving an unprecedented volume of listener email (one letter) demanding his return to the show, fan lightning rod Earl sneaks into the studios to help us flesh out the event that was MarsCon 2009. Yes, we’re talking about yet another sci-fi convention. But at least this time The Scope’s fanbase turned out in mass to support our appearance….right? (sob.)
We also review the latest album from U2 and the latest comic book movie, Watchmen. If you would have been lucky enough to watch #68 recording live, you could have seen Adam shave all of his body hair and paint himself (yes, including his rig) blue. Just like Dr. Manhattan. Very, very sexy.
Buckle up, Scope faithful. This extremely long episode — from hosts that have been called “kinda arrogant jerks” by the reviewing masses — packs a lot of pop culture info.
And a lot of one single Christian Bale sound clip. Good for you, indeed.

An undeserved week off
March 6, 2009 | Posted by: Shane
Due to MarsCON 2009, your Scope crew will be taking seven additional days off. We’d like to say that extra week will bring you all sorts of added, super-awesome content…but we’d be lying. The Scope is marginal at best. And any more time won’t change that sad fact.
That being said, we’ll be back with the first-ever “Fan Show!” That means your input will decide the direction of the show. So send any questions, comments, or topic suggestions to us and we’ll do our best to address them on this or another show. It should be spectacular! We’ll also swing the review sledgehammer at the new U2 album and the TV show, Big Bang Theory.
Thanks for hanging with us! A new show will be posted by March 16th, 2009.

Episode 67: Yeah, It’s Timely, Motherf*#kers!
February 22, 2009 | Posted by: The Scope
The rumors are true! Adam finally returns from his very important mission of spreading his charming brand of aloof elitism across the deep south.
Also, fan-favorite-female Molly stops by to poo-poo Shane’s Oscar talk formatting and to anchor The Scope’s Oscar predictions.
And, last (but not least,) Jared tries to destroy the space/time continuum by attempting to post the show to the internet BEFORE it is finished taping. We think he’s watching too much Lost.
