Did you know that May is National Masturbation Month? Well now you do. That little tidbit is just a taste of what's on the show today. We start things off with an 'observational' E-Mail from a listen. Not quite hate, not quite a suggestion... just something they've noticed about Charlie. This spawns one of those quarter-show conversations about what is and isn't taboo on Who Asked You?. As hard as it is to believe, there are just 2 topics we try and steer clear of on our quaint little podcast. The keyword there is try. If you're a longtime listener, you probably know what they are. And if you're not, tune in to find out. Of course, they've come up on the show. And we're not trying to avoid them completely. They're just things we know a lot of folks are passionate about and we don't want to blow a whole show on them. Believe me, we easily could. But in moderation, they're okay.
Speaking of moderation... at the end of today's eppy we break some news on Will Smith. It appears Big Willie has a big trailer on the set of MIB III and those living in the surrounding neighborhood where they're shooting the film aren't climbing aboard. The monstrosity has more square feet than the average apartment. And speaking of apartments... while Smith has this 22-wheeled luxury wagon blocking the road, he's renting an apartment just a few blocks away. So you can see why residents aren't pulling for his gigantor trailer. The New York City Mayor's Office has already made him move it.
Other stories of intrigue include a re-screener of the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy next month. You thought your bladder was safe didn't you? You thought, I made it through all 3, I'll never have to again. Well you were wrong! Peter Jackson has decided to pull a George Lucas and return his biggest hits to theaters for 1 night only each. And they'll be the extended cut versions averaging around 4 hours long each! For the love of god don't order the large soda!
Then Mr. Pesci elegantly tells a certain actor to vacate the premises in a segment we call, "Get The Fuck Outta Here". CBS just can't let it go. They're determined to drag the rotting carcass that is TWO AND A HALF MEN on even longer without its principal player. Instead, he'll be replaced by someone incredibly annoying. I'm not going to type out his name here and he won't appear in this posting's keywords either. You'll have to tune in to hear why.
NBC is probably 'wondering' about now why they footed the bill for a WONDER WOMAN pilot. The David E. Kelly-produced show was just too branded with his style. At least, that's according to some close to it. It's amazing the show went to pilot to begin with. NONE of the networks were interested, well, except for the peacock. And when it came down to it, even they were like, mmmm.... yeaaahhh... ummm... nooooo. So we'll have to look for Adrianne Palicki's gorgeous face somewhere else. I wonder if she gets to keep the hot pants costume? Is she married? Damn, her husband is a lucky son of a bitch.
