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.

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.

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