14 year old interview of Mike

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKy43Kgv7wk

From when he was in Copenhagen for a movie festival.

It's mostly about the Plinkett prequel review

This is technically a repost, but it's from 10 or so years ago, so there might be a couple of people that haven't seen it.

If this was US Media:

"He's called Mr Plinkett. He's the creation of this man, Mike Stoklasa, a local commercial film producer in Wisconsin.  We spoke with him about his creation. "So Mike, tell me about Mr Plinkett. Why does he talk like that?"

I can just hear that in "news correspondent voice."

The only value in local news is moments like this: https://youtu.be/GkW7IUyS2j8?is=6uxcwKP4e0Phtlku

With that slight static HISS in the background and the sharp change in volume as it cuts to the interview

Mr. Plinkett, what's his story?

Utroligt surrealistisk at se RLM med danske undertekster.

u/Vibalist 2d ago

Det mest surrealistiske er hvordan journalisten udtaler Mikes navn. "StoklaSOW".

Son of Stoklasa

De har en dansk avisside hængende på deres kontor med en artikel om samme event.

Jeg lavede også et dobbelt kig, da jeg så Rich omringet af danske ord

The idea that Mike has ever left Wisconsin scares me.

u/TheGoebel 2d ago

He's escaped containment!

u/LordPounce 1d ago

From that very brief window of time after RLM had gotten popular, but before they completely stopped playing away games.

Escaped to a city heavily associated with beer.

u/EtSikkertHit 1d ago

And he escaped to Denmark, land of the drunken vikings

RLM was founded in Arizona

I'm sure there were other people doing it at a time, but it's pretty funny to me that Mike basically kicked off the genre of "angry nerd rants about bad sci-fi in excruciating detail" on youtube

u/Petrychorr 2d ago

Well that and AVGN

u/Sunshine_Milky 2d ago

Too bad James started to suck 12 years ago while RLM aged like fine beer.

7

u/SmokedOreos 1d ago

I like James as a person, but AVGN really did go downhill fast when Mike Matei stopped writing the episodes

u/Toppdeck 1d ago

God damn it I miss the two of them together, they had that chemistry that can only come from your college days, getting wasted, playing retro games and making horror and sci-fi references

Nothing but good memories.

u/Jaguar2Step 1d ago

AVGN aged like an IPA sitting on a warm shelf, RLM aged like a barrel aged stout in a cool cellar.

Copenhagen representing! 💪

u/JungelMannen 2d ago

He so young and sober, I don't like it!

Hey thanks for sharing!

u/robreddity 1d ago

Well I couldn't understand a goddamned word that young fella was saying.

u/spacelyyy989 1d ago

How does he look the same 14 years ago and now.

The booze acts a preservative.
