Covering the week of 8/12/2013, the Fanboy Comics staff reviews the top geek stories from the popular, daily e-newsletter, The Fanboy Scoop.

In this episode, we discuss the latest rumors surrounding Star Wars: Episode VII, the lack of actual science in this year’s Shark Week, why Sophia McDougal hates “Strong Female Characters,” CoverGirl’s new Hunger Games-inspired makeup collection, and the likelihood that Miles Morales will become a part of Marvel’s 616 universe.  The Fanboy Comics staff will also talk with Leanne and Michael Westphal, who are the producers of the Los Angeles chapter of the 48-Hour Film Project.
