ASK MIKE! - A new podcast dedicated to you, the fans!

[torgosPizza]

That's right! We here at RiffTrax are dedicated to serving you, the consumer. (And DisembAudio). For the first time since RiffTrax's inception, we're letting you, our loyal fans, ask Mike whatever's on your mind!

Mike will answer a handful of questions personally, recording them as an mp3 podcast that we will release at a later date.

Use this thread to ask MIke your questions. Not all questions may be answered, of course, so make yours as original / fun / unique as possible!

EXAMPLES:
Bad Question: "Hey Mike, what's up? Will you be riffing Red Dawn?"
Good Question: "MIke, where did you get the idea for Death Rat's main character?"


Please - QUESTIONS ONLY! Any discussion of questions, or otherwise Off-Topic posts, will be deleted!

We hope this will be an ongoing podcast - so we'd like everyone to submit a question. You can ask multiple questions, of course.
We'll let you know when the podcast is available for your download! Have fun!

Alright, here goes:

Hey Mike,

Many of your fans collect anything and everything related to MST3K and Rifftrax... I'm curious as to what the weirdest thing you've seen has been, and whether you collect anything yourself?

Cool!

Mike,

Which fictional character would you like to riff a movie with, and why?

And

Should a monkey do Kung-Fu? If not, why not? If so, what style (other than monkey) should it specialise in?

[SecretAgentSuperDragon]

Oh Mikey-poo,

IF rifftrax doesn't work out, do you think you might still have a guaranteed job at TGI Friday's? 

Seriously though, what movie star do you have the most respect for and why?

Oh, and PS3 or XBOX 360?

[AmandaGal]

Those of us who were in chat last night KNOW I have to ask (and ironically enough I get to).   

Mike could you tell us more about your infamous slipper shoes?  What brand are they and do they reflect your new, laid back CA attitude?

[tJmarshal]

Mike,

Back on MST3K, was it struggling moment when you learned Joel and subsequently
Trace were leaving the show? What made you decide to press on anyway? Had you
guys considered hanging up the boots then? And were you surprised at it's continued
success when you kept going?

Sure glad you all did! Thanks!

What do you miss most about living in the Twin Cities?

and

If and when you do come back to the cities, is there anywhere you have to go/see/do?

[6079SmithW]

You always seem to maintain an image of being extremely nice and friendly, even in the face of unbelievable stupidity

Are you really that nice, or are you just good at hiding exasperation?

[Douglin]

Dear Mike,

What the heck is Schnappi? and should I be afraid of it?

thank you

[MarkAndrew]

Dear Mike,

Will you promise not to dress as Capt. Janeway ever again, at least in public?

[MontyServo]

Mr. Nelson,

If you could have any living person join you as a guest riffer on Rifftrax, who would that person be and why?

And what film would you like to do with that person?

Thanks,

Monty

[SpumcoFan]

Mike,

1. What is your favorite episodes from the Joel, Mike, and Sci-fi era of MST3K?

and

2. What was your favorite Host Segment to direct of MST3K?

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

Dear Mike Nelson:

If you had such a choice, which hollywood director, producer, or writer  (or combination thereof) would you most like to force-feed, live, to Natalie Portman?

[6079SmithW]

Are there any plans to do anything else with Lowtax? He was my favorite non-MST thus far.

(Is this appropriate to ask here?)

[eegah]

Dear Mike,

What is your Doom 3 handle and when do you play?
