“What you’re seeing is an all-new Who Asked You? website.” That was how I started the first episode post on our homepage last time we unveiled a new design. I’m happy and relieved to say it again. Burned the midnight oil getting it all ready to go Friday night and I think it was worth it. The very next sentence in that first post read, “It’s a last-stitch effort to try and draw in a few more listeners…” and that is still certainly true. Even though that previous effort now was not the last. Umm… as I explained on a previous show, Google has changed many of the ways it indexes websites and how it ranks them. Things like having too many unrelated links, too many images or your site loading too slowly can all have negative effects on where your site appears in search results. Without boring you with too many details, suffice it to say, after a few audits from various sources, this redesign was well overdue. Not to mention, screens are a lot bigger these days and our previous website was just a little too skinny and was wasting a lot of space.

So, real quickly, this new site is more streamlined (hopefully loading faster) with less unnecessary imagery and just one affiliate advertiser now — $6 Dollar Shirts, check ‘em out! It clearly looks more up-to-date. But most importantly, I think it’s easier to navigate while making it MUCH easier for you to get our show on any device anywhere. The “Listen Anywhere” sidebar has now become its own page. On that page you’ll find every app and service we’re available on. The ones that have landing or profile pages for our show can be accessed by clicking their logo. And they ALL have links directly to the app stores of all the platforms they’re available on. Also, the “Show Archive” has now been indexed by year! And, you can now send us a SpeakPipe voice message without leaving the site. There’s a record button on the “E-Mail The Show” page! And yes, you can still, E-Mail the show if you prefer.

First up, we spend a few moments talking about Harold Ramis who died last week at the age of 69. Ramis was best known as Egon in the GHOSTBUSTERS movies, and as the writer and director of some funny-ass movies like CADDYSHACK and GROUNDHOG DAY, just to name a couple.

On the way to the show, Jabari and I got caught in a traffic jam on the freeway. In fact, we got set up just in time to go on-air. While creepin’ along at 0.04 MPH we were talking about the fact that Las Vegas doesn’t get destroyed very often in disaster movies. We saw it in Roland Emmerich’s 2012, the Martians ran amok through our streets in MARS ATTACKS and the desert had “taken it back” in one of those RESIDENT EVIL movies. There’s so many I’ve lost track. It looks like Godzilla will stomp his way down the strip when that movie comes out later this year. But until then, I guess we’ll have to settle on BLAST VEGAS… even if it stars Frankie Muniz. That’s our F.D.V.D.O.T.W.W.M.A.N.

If you’re looking to buy tickets to GODZILLA early, there’ll be one less service to do it on. Moviefone, the show time and ticketing service that’s been around since 1989 announced that it’s phone service will be disconnected at the end of the month. With so many smartphone apps and other online ticketing options dialing 777-FILM and then navigating a cumbersome menu just doesn’t have the appeal it used to. One of Moviefone’s founders blames AOL’s mismanagement of it when they bought it back in 1999. In a statement from AOL, the company says they have big plans for the Moviefone brand and you should download the Moviefone app in the meantime. Find out which of us used the service on today’s show. Also, find out why Fandango will never ever sponsor us.

Once you’ve got your tickets and you’re in the theater, now you gotta sit through 20 to 30 minutes worth of trailers. Well that may soon change. NATO (the National Association of Theater Owners) has developed a new set of guidelines they’d like the movie studios to follow when it comes to trailers and other promotional materials for a movie. Among the new rules, trailers can’t be longer than two-minutes and they can’t be shown more than five months before a film’s release. These guidelines are totally voluntary. It’ll be up to individual theaters to decide if they want to adopt them and refuse any studio’s advertisements that don’t follow them. We look at these and some of the other new standards and share our thoughts.

One of the complaints about movie trailers theater owners say they get is that the trailers themselves give away too much plot. Jabari argues that’s because the movie was most likely not well written to begin with. And this launches us into one of our world-famous tangents. Along the way we get on the topic of Wolverine and whether or not he’s a good character, if he’s over-saturated and why it took two years for him to climb up that mountain to find the other half of his body — in the comics, not the movies.

Gamers aren’t the only ones getting fed up with Nintendo. Now, the company is hearing from some of its shareholders. In particular, Seth Fischer who manages a hedge fund that’s invested in the game maker. He wrote a letter to the company’s CEO suggesting Nintendo release all of their older titles on smartphones and tablets, then charge money for enhanced features. Imagine you’re playing SUPER MARIO BROS. and you could really use a super star in Koopa’s castle. Well, for 99-cents you can have that star. Maybe for a whole dollar you can get entire maps to castles or more lives on other games. Fischer says it’s a $100-billion market Nintendo should tap, but plans for doing any of this are paused as Nintendo doesn’t seem interested in doing it any time soon.

And in Breaking News, we save one of the most disgusting stories we’ve brought to you for last. I won’t spoil it here, but if you have a weak stomach, or are eating seafood while listening to our show… you may wanna mute it when we get to this story. Plus, doing the right thing doesn’t always pan out in your favor. Just as a Texas high school student who turned in a can of beer to his teacher he says he accidentally packed in his lunch. All this and lots more on a new episode on our new website! Enjoy!
