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.”

The last winner chosen will receive a signed RiffTrax poster and gift certificate instead of tickets.

Weekend Discussion Thread: Worst Comic Relief in a MSTed Movie

Alert reader Doug asks:

I was watching “Women of the Prehistoric Planet” today and the comedic horribleness of the “Hi-Keeba” guy got me to wondering which comic relief character(s) from MST3K movies were the worst of all. I’m sure there’s plenty more to choose from.

I’m going to go with our favorite little monkey boy, Sid Melton, in “Lost Continent” and “Radar Secret Service.”

Who do you think is the worst?
