Amanda Bynes... what I like about you, hmmm, let me tell you... huh? Oh, umm... sorry! I was having a moment with Amanda. Devastating news out of Hollywood this hour as Ms. Bynes announced in a Tweet that she is leaving acting. Okay, it's not that big of a deal really. And she won't be terribly missed, but she's a little hottie nevertheless.
We are back! After a week off, the Who Asked You? Crew has returned with a couple of more new episodes before our big live debut on ErrorFM. On our last interaction with you, we brought to your attention via a listener E-Mail a new dance sweeping YouTube called the "Dick Slang". If you haven't seen this, it's pretty much exactly what it sounds like. We've got listener reaction to it as well as a few other things like Pop-Tart instructions and the decade of the 80s.
From there, the details on Amanda Bynes aforementioned early retirement. Followed by a whirlwind of movie crap that's not very important, but we talk about it anyway. For starters, the Addams Family is getting a brand new remake in the form of classic stop-motion animation. Somewhere out there Christina Ricci perked up for a moment and slumped back into her seat after I said stop-motion. This new Addams Family won't take after the old TV series or films, but rather the original 1938 comic strip that ran in The New Yorker. It's possible they'll do it in black and white and it's possible Tim Burton will direct... at least that's the hope. He is involved in the project, but nothing official yet.
Also not official when it comes to whose sitting in the director's chair is Peter Jackson with his Hobbit films. Back in May, Guillermo del Toro decided to not direct the Lord of the Rings prequels. So now Jackson is considering the job for himself. He's already a co-writer and the executive producer. Might as well put on one more hat... or... ring?
And NPH is alive! He's confirmed he will appear in Harold and Kumar's third pot peppered picture. This one called "A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas" will co-star Patton Oswalt along with the usuals, John Cho and Kal Penn... thankfully.
If at anytime you're ever listening to our show while we're listening to Dirty Potter tracks and wonder if anything ever gets left on the cutting room floor, we have an answer for you on today's show. It turns out there are bits and pieces that don't make it into Jim Dale's romps through profanity and pornography. And we'll play some of them for you courtesy of Dirty Potter himself. Listen for a special cameo from some of our old Dirty Potter faves!
And there's a very "Charlie" story on this week's show. It involves, as Dennis has come to realize a lot of things do with the Cheese, blood and mayhem. We'll take you to the great state of Utah where they don't waste electricity or deadly intravenous chemicals on their death row prisoners, but rather bullets! Yep... like a super-twisted It's The Law, we've found out that Utah still uses firing squads for its death penalties. One such bullet barrage took place just last week!
And after that, condoms... it's the closest story we could find to genitalia in the news this week. The creepy factor on this one has us going off for over 10 minutes. In Massachusetts a school district, starting this fall, will start giving out condoms to its students no questions asked, and no phone calls to parents. As if that's not upsetting enough to some, there's really no age limit on who can request them. The school district says that students in as low as the first grade can ask the nurse for a rubber and may very well get it! Does this seem a little inappropriate to you? After the show make your voice heard! Vote on the We Ask You Online Poll and tell us if you think the schools there should be doing this. And send us an E-Mail with your thoughts on it, or anything.
