Mike also shares some of his thoughts about those in production with the power to make or break a series or movie idea, his role as Officer Collins in the popular SF spoof, “Idiocracy,” and just what was the genesis for highly popular online series “Chad Vader.” In the closing minutes of the interview Mike talks about another of his successful ventures that migrated from VH1 to an online hit, “L33t Haxxors.”

Sorry if I sent too many emails for the contest. I didn’t send 300 but I sent more than 5. Perhaps it’s good that this happened so that you could put some guidelines in place. I was simply going off what you guys say on the show and that’s basically enter as often as you like.
Don’t you think it’s a bit unfair to have deleted those emails when there were no guidelines in place? Don’t blame the masses for your oversight. We just wanted us some Harryhausen.
Not a problem and nobody is getting blamed. It just started getting quite overwhelming so it required us to tighten up the rules a bit.
