Movie Sign Rewind #17 - Night of the Bloodbeast

External Image

What is Movie Sign?
A weekly Chat event that occurs every Sunday night wherein we watch an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K for short) while joking and spamming up the Chat box. We make episodes available by whatever means so we can all watch simultaneously.

What's MST3K?
Ever watched a movie and made your own commentary to it? That's what this show is all about. MST3K is a comedy show from the '90s in which a guy and two robots are forced to watch terrible movies because a mad scientist wants to take over the world. To keep their sanity, they talk back and riff on the movies. A more detailed explanation can be found up at the SoL.

Eh? Rewind?
Before we wrap up Movie Sign within the coming year, this is our way of watching some old favorites.

Next Episode
A description so nice, I've copy-pasted it twice...

It's kinda like Alien, but in the 1950s and called Night of the Bloodbeast instead. An astronaut returns to Earth dead, and those who recover him soon face their worst nightmare as an alien menace goes on a rampage to protect it's embryos, implanted in the astronaut's body.
This is also the special Turkey Day edition of Episode 701, with Thanksgiving-related host segments.

Before the movie, we've got a short, in which a man trying to write a jingle gets some divine assistance, which leads to his wife singing about what she'd like her home to be like.

Whether a seasoned vet or new meat, we invite you all to come on down! Movie starts at 8pm EST/5pm PST, room opens at the :30 beforehand.

The password for the room is steve. Get the whole thing, streaming, here.

The tape keeps rewinding with...
12/4 - Episode 904 - Werewolf
12/11 - Episode 424 - Manos: The Hands of Fate (w/short "Hired! Part 2")
12/18 - Episode 813 - Jack Frost
12/25 - No meeting due to that one holiday.

Happy Turkey Day!

Have some videos from MST3K of past to celebrate the day of food and lousy movies.

First, a history(ish) of Thanksgiving:

There's also the eternal debate between stuffing and potatoes:

And one of many facts from Crow about turkeys:

PETA Strikes Again

Not only has PETA declared war on Mario, now they insist that a town in Texas named Turkey change it's name to 'Tofurkey'. If they do it, they'll treat the entire town to a vegetarian feast for Thanksgiving.

As one townsperson states: Don't mess with Texas.
