Felicia Day is a noted actress, writer, and all-around major figure in the so-called "geek" community.

Some of her earliest appearances were in her own web series The Guild and Joss Whedon's Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog. More recently, she's appeared in Supernatural, Eureka, and now the revival of Mystery Science Theater 3000. She's also one of the founders of the Geek & Sundry production company.

Day will be a guest at Comicpalooza this weekend (May 12-14, 2017), and ahead of her appearance she spoke with Houston Matters producer Joshua Zinn about her career and her love of the pop culture that she’s now a part of.

She also explains how simply taking a selfie led to landing her dream job on MST3K, a show her and her brother loved watching as kids.
