On this edition of Scottscope,
special guest panelist Gabe “I am Square One” Mendoza sits in on the roundtable
to discuss David Ayer’s latest police drama End
of Watch. Is the hype
warranted? Is it better than Training Day? Does it represent a new direction for cop
movies in the modern era? Can the found
footage format be applied to any type of film?
We also discuss the latest offering from the DC Animated
Universe, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
Part 1. Is it a faithful adaptation
of the seminal graphic novel? Does the
animation remain true to the look and feel of Frank Miller’s artwork? How does it compare to The Dark Knight Rises? Is it
better than Christopher Nolan’s trilogy capper?
Are the themes of TDKR still relevant in the modern world? Where does it rank in the DCAU cannon?
We also talk a bit about the comic strip adaptation Dredd.
Is it better than the Stallone version?
Is it true to the Judge Dredd
comic strip? Are the comparisons to The Raid: Redemption apt? Why did it perform so poorly at the weekend
box office? Does Karl Urban make a
better Judge Joseph Dredd than Stallone?
What should a sequel entail? Do
we need another comic book inspired franchise?
We also celebrate the 20th anniversary of
Redman’s classic debut Whut? Thee Album. Has it stood the test of time? Is it the single best album to ever emerge
from the Hit Squad? What trends did it
set? Did it foreshadow the emergence of
G-Funk? Did Redman and Eric Sermon make
better use of funk samples than the immortal Dr. Dre? How did Redman’s career pan out in its
aftermath? Will we ever see it’s like
again?
