Has there ever been an instance of product placement that worked on you? Blatant or otherwise? Something like Joel chewing Stride cause of his love for Smallville, or the HE crew eating at Burger King ("it truly is a wonderful restaurant")?

Today the Lord of the Rings fan made film 'The Hunt for Gollum' will be released online, and be available for free download. I've been following this project for a while, and it continues to look fantastic. http://www.thehuntforgollum.com/updates.htm

2 general questions:

1, We have heard horror stories of Josh and Gay-tos, (The job interview story was possibly my favorite, unless this one is more awesome.) However, we have never heard the story of the origin of Gay-tos. Did Josh lose a bet, or was this a really poor choice?

2.To Josh and Eli, is there any video game you regret working on? OR just one that is so possibly bad that you treat it as a kidnapped girl in a hole in the basement, who happens to be a size 14 (lotion in the basket and small dog NOT included.)

Does he mean like, people who thought a show where geeks are the main protagonists (and just barely, cause they also end up as assholes) are a novel concept? Or does he mean the guy who takes something old, adds zombies, goes "OLOLOL" and makes millions of dollars?

It's lazy either way.

After the Wolverine movie, my friend and I got into a debate if adamantium bullets would work in a regular gun or would you need an adamantium gun as well. Thoughts?

Omar rocks pretty hard. He robs people by accident. So many great characters in that series – Bubbles, Bunk, McNulty the ultimate Irishman. Ah good times.

Because I'm an idiot, I punished myself yesterday to an afternoon matinee showing of the silver screen turd X-Men Origins: Wolverine. There's already a forum topic on the general shittiness of the film.

My question: What makes a good superhero movie? The Dark Knight and Iron Man were both hailed by geeks and the populace at large for being generally good films, though for much different reasons. What lessons can Hollywood learn from those movies to prevent high budget turds like Wolverine, a movie featuring arguably one of the most popular and beloved superheroes to geek/nerd culture.

I've been listening to the old podcasts, and I'm curious — is the Undefeatable VHS still making the rounds? According to the wiki, it was last mentioned in podcast #24.
