New RiffTrax Presents…

This is a little off-topic, but we’re such big fans of the RiffTrax Presents riffs by SketchFest’s Cole Stratton and Janet Varney that we wanted to mention that they’re out with another one, for “Jaws 3.”

Oh, and a little bird told us :::coughCOLE!cough::: that Mike Nelson has a cameo in the opening.

Mike Guests on Podcast

Mike is a guest on a podcast called “Grizzly Bear Egg Cafe.”

His interview starts at about the 28-minute mark.

This one may be the best example yet of a problem I see again and again when MST3K folks are interviewed, a problem that can be summed up with the statement: “Just because you consider yourself a fan of the person you’re interviewing, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do your homework.”
