It’s Darryl Ohrt time! No better way to return from our hiatus than with friend of the show Darryl from Mash+Studio. We dish on his new gig there and our love of all things shag rug – minus mini-me. It’s also a special show with him and Angela in London together for the first time. We laugh. We cry. We leave. What else could you ask for from your friendly neighborhood adcast anyway? (Well, besides cold hard cash anyway.) Enjoy this one – we sure did.

We cover NT1’s zombie guerrilla campaign, candy corn Oreos, book vandalism and why Bill is sick of zombies and vampires. In keeping with Halloween, there’s also a horror films tangent — appropriately kicked off by Angela’s recent decision to watch Cabin in the Woods. (Epic.)

Listen you some!

Linky loos:

- Zombies attack Twitter users for NT1 and Walking Dead
- OPI’s horse-off
- Bill is obsessed with this political ad because he hates it.
- Candy Corn Oreos! Angela loves these. Have you some.
- Bill is this, Angela is this. Good times!

Happy zombieween, kiddies.

Disclosure: since her blog post on the Walking Dead operation, social TV agency Darewin’s asked Angela to help spread word about the campaign internationally. She said yes because she thinks Darewin’s work is cool and merits more exposure. Just a heads-up!

Your hosts with the most are back in a fresh and fruity new AdVerve. Angela attempts to impose new organization onto the show, and all goes horribly wrong as things derail and we drift into wild, weedy territory: themed weddings, connectomes and Einstein, tattoos, and — this was Bill's fault — the prospective superpets of Superheroes™. (We’ll let you guess who got stuck with the koi pond.) Recent ads, pop culture flubs and some good movies make it in there too.

Onto the good stuff:

• The Brain Preservation Bill of Rights
• Gangnam Style wedding
• The new iPhone 5 ads
• Dominic Wilcox's snappy GPS-powered "There's No Place Like Home" shoes
• Oreo on Talk Like a Pirate Day
• Obama doing swashbuckling foreign policy
• Lucille and Mitt.
• Moonwalking With Einstein.

The Colorado theatre shooting, and mayhem in general, take center stage in this episode, along with more subtle forms of slaughter: Jim Henson’s moral cutting of the Chick-Fil-A cord, followed by the latter’s distortion of Jim Henson’s kids meal toys (photo above); NOAA’s mermaid debunking; Bill’s refusal to entertain speculations of android humanity; and Angela’s failure to make the Proust questionnaire stick past one question.

As always, we rehash films, make jokes we’ll be sorry about later, and take the twisty conversational turns you love to scream at alone in the car. All here, all yours, in AdVerve Podcast #87! Download that ear candy, kiddies, it’s good for you.

This AdVerve 'cast has been waiting so long to get out that we were cup-runneth-over with catch-up riffs! We tear the crap out of bad community management cases and people who interrupt your well-paid public diversion with their cell phones. (Who still uses ringtones?)

There's also mad catch-up on movies we watched between shows. Angela finally saw Biutiful, and Bill reveals which Spanish director he prefers. (It's not Almodovar, bitches.) Also, because you liked it so much the first time, we do another profiles segment! Like shootin' fish in a barrel, you say? We got a fish profile for you. There’s also some crazy scrapbookers and at least one vampire TRUCK DRIVER (all caps).


Linktastic-shmastics:


- Boner BBQ client burn. (Article's in French but the screenies are in English.) Read her Yelp review here.
- Jay-Z and Beyoncé want to explore the final frontier. Also, read about the overview effect.
- The call that stopped the New York Philharmonic. (And another virtuoso eff-you.)
- Alamo Drafthouse angry voicemail.
- 3D Printer for chocolate cupcakes! ...and concrete.
- Giancarlo Esposito talks to Breaking Bad fans on Reddit.
- Gay parents - the best parents?
- Making way for more width on transit.
- Girl transforms herself into Drake. (And transforms Drake into her in our minds forever after.)

We hit all the bases this week, folks -- from Twilight duvet covers to wince-worthy holiday ads to Occupy Wall Street. WE EVEN COVER TWITTER PROFILE TERRORISM! Kicking off with a quick 3 for 3, we roll into the holidays and wrap up with a long and glorious rant about bad Twitter profiles (examples included!). Sorry if you were one. (Not really. We still like you, just take a few exclamation points out of your elevator pitch.)
