The King of Fighters Movie???

This is another milestone for Who Asked You?. For the first time ever we’ve got a guest host joining us via Skype! Yes it’s quite the technological triumph for us. Something that other padcasters have been doing for years we’re just now getting around to! And our special guest host is Evan Pederson from FancyPantsGangsters.com.
And on this week’s show we barely get through any of our stories. That’s not terribly different than a normal show. But since Evan is joining us we feel less guilty about not getting to anything we had planned. Oh well… sometimes the off topic shows are better. If you’re listening to get the usual new release list, you’ll probably want to fast forward about thirty minutes into the show. Told you we were off topic this week.
First up we get a little history on FancyPantsGangsters.com and exactly what it is Evan and his posse do. And from there we get into a brief review of Where The Wild Things Are. We all saw it, including Evan so we discuss for a moment. Then we move onto a few announcements, the first of which is who has been cast as the hero mercenaries in the Predator movie reboot. One of the actors who is playing in Predators also played in the last Spider-Man movie. I think it’s safe to say he won’t be showing up in Spider-Man 4, which starts shooting next March by the way. We talk a little about this too and what Sam Raimi is planning for his next Spidey outing.
Saw VI is barely out and they’re already working on the seventh… which will be in 3D! That’s not really helping their overplayed repetitive cause though. And Evan tells us they’re signed on for up to nine of these turds!
After all of the above we get to a listener E-Mail asking us about the new Legion movie from Sony Pictures. Chase dug up a little info on the film and everyone was sorry he did.
And of all the classic fighting games to turn into a movie someone had to go and do it to The King of Fighters. And like Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li, this film will most certainly be disappointing to say the least. The characters look visually awful and the story strays from that of the game to the point of pure annoyance! But, that’s Hollywood, they’ve always done that and will continue to. But judging from how terrible the promotional photos for this movie look, we’re not really sure if this movie is even being made in Hollywood, but rather, in someone’s basement with a couple of flood lights they got at The Home Depot.
Later in the show we talk about the new 120 GB version of the Playstation 3 Slim. Despite the console’s slimmer size and larger hard drive, it still just doesn’t feel right coughing up the amount of money Sony wants for it. With that being said, at least there aren’t three red lights to worry about with the PS3. And the release of this console is apparently coinciding with the release of Final Fantasy XIII, which was coming out next spring, but there will reportedly be a bundle of the game with the 120 GB PS3 Slim come Christmas of this year.
This show ends with discussion of the new Susan Storm statue from the Rockin’ Jelly Bean in Japan. This expertly crafted rendition of the Invisible Woman could quite frankly be spank material. Naturally, we go in depth on our revue of her view. Be sure to check out her panty line for yourself in the Show Links.
