Selling Out For Art's Sake: Morgan Spurlock

[LESS INFO] 50 VIEWS | ADDED 22:29:00 04/25/11
Oscar-nominated filmmaker Morgan Spurlock visits infoMania to give host Brett Erlich a lesson in selling out. Inspired by a particularly egregious product placement in the show "Heroes," Spurlock made a movie entirely about how corporate brands have wormed their way into what we see on the big and small screens - and somehow got the suits to pay for the whole thing. The result is "POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold," which opens this weekend. And surely nobody has worn a suit jacket festooned with 22 corporate logos as suavely as Spurlock. infoMania airs on Thursdays at 11/10c on Current TV.

Ben Hoffman is notorious for being the grumpiest member of the infoMania team, but is he really that unpleasant? And is there anything he doesn't hate? Ben and the rest of the infoMania cast talk about what it's like to be around the show's Grinch, tally up how many segments Ben hosts, and confirm that, yes, he needs to be bleeped while filming pretty often. Oh, and he liked that one time he got to go on location for a segment about porn. That was fun. infoMania airs on Thursdays at 11/10c on Current TV.
