It's the first of what we hope will be many month-ending extended episodes of Who Asked You?. As you've probably heard when we started doing the show live on July 11th, the last Sunday of each month we'll do a super cool 2-hour extended show with music and random awesomeness on ErrorFM Live. You'll probably notice the running time on this episode is a bit odd. Well, do to copyright issues I want to avoid at all costs, I've decided not to include the music in the on-demand version of the show here on the site. If you want to hear the tunes we play be sure to listen to the show live on ErrorFM.com the last Sunday of the month at 8pm/PT. ErrorFM's operations are overseas... so we can play what we want without repercussions.
With that said, we do have some music on this episode. A very good DJ friend of Charlie's named William T. Lane lent him a track of his music to play on this week's show. You can hear this awesome mix on this episode and you can check out William's site below in the Show Links. In the future, if we're given music to play on these extended shows you'll hear them in the recorded version. But for now, music distribution is still a tender spot on the Interwebs. So, the stuff we don't necessarily have permission to include will only be heard on the live Sunday night show. That's what we call an incentive. It should entice you to tune into the live show.
What's on this live show you might be wondering by now? Well for starters, Evan Pederson from FancyPantsGangsters.com is sitting in studio!!! Not via Skype, he actually used some of his Fancy Pants travel budget to fly out to Las Vegas and hang out with us. He also brought us delicious salsa from a local Minnesotan micro-brewery.
We start the show off with several E-Mails from listeners. One brings up the recent reveal of the Green Lantern costume for the new movie starring Ryan Reynolds. If you're a regular listener you know that Charlie is a HUGE Green Lantern fan, so it was imperative that we get his views on the digital threads. Does he like it? Tune in to find out.
We also talk about the recent decision by Lucasfilm Ltd. to ban former Darth Vader body actor, David Prowse from all future company-sponsored events. Apparently David's been running his mouth a little too much regarding decisions Lucas made 30 years ago about Darth Vader's voice. David should've tuned into our last show when we aired a word of caution after the story about the guy who got fired for posting negative comments about his employers on his Facebook page. You gotta be careful what you say about your boss these days.
Another big story this week is Sylvester Stallone's revelation about which movie from the late 80s he thinks killed the good ol' shoot-em-up action flicks we all cherish today. His choice may surprise you. Be sure to tune in for that. Then afterward visit the "We Ask You Online Poll" and tell us if you agree or not with Sly's assessment. You're also welcome to send us your thoughts in an E-Mail. We'll read it on the show!
And the Hansel and Gretel poster above is no joke. Our favorite least favorite director has tasked one of his production companies with developing a live-action 3D version of this Grimm fairy tale. Wait until you hear what they plan to do with it. By the way, that teaser poster is real. We didn't make it. You have to love the text logo and its coloring. What was that? A total of 5 minutes in Photoshop? They can make a photo-realistic Transformer for millions of dollars, but when it comes to font choices...
