What is Movie Sign?
Every Sunday night, we nestle down in Chat and watch an episode of the cult TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K for short) while spamming up the Chat box. Don't worry - we use episodes available on streaming sites so that we can all watch simultaneously.

What's MST3K?
A comedy show that ran from 1988-1999, it's like watching a movie with running commentary. Joel Robinson or Mike Nelson, along with 'bots Tom Servo and Crow, are forced to watch terrible films as part of a mad scientist's bid for world domination. To keep their (and our) sanity, they talk back to the movies and riff on them. A more detailed explanation can be found up at the SoL.

Next Episode
Once upon a time, there was a happy and peaceful kingdom of golden lakes, rolling hills, and fertile soil. A plundering tribe headed by the vicious Kalin has ravaged the land, pillaging village after village and leaving only desolation and despair. Only one person can defy him: a brawny farmer and man of the people who is known as Ilya Morometz. With magic sword in hand, Ilya sets off to topple Kalin. Two of the most terrifying obstacles he must overcome are a wind demon and a flying three-headed fire-dragon.

Host Segment Highlights
Busy being a nerd but need a distraction? Not sure topical political humor is what you need. A joke by Ingmar Bergman probably won't win any friends to your side, and seriously, just get out of the bunny suit.

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 dnd. Buck up, it's YouTube, and here's part one.

... because we all know he totes would.

Eff You, Michelangelo!

Cinemassacre (the label founded by James Rolfe, the Angry Video Game Nerd when he's not yelling about games) recently tested all the weird pizzas suggested by the old '80s Ninja Turtles show.

Y'know, pizzas of marshmallow and pepperoni.
Or anchovies and hot fudge.
Or sausage and jellybeans.

It's awesome. Go watch now (unless you've aversions to adults cursing while eating terrible, terrible things)!

Guys, it's more Gamera. A giant turtle fights a giant monster and there's some kids involved. It is what it has always been.

You know those corny notes your mom always gives you in your lunch that you don't want others to see? You know how being politically correct was really lame in the '90s? You know how the crew likes to do long and meandering sketches on vague connections? We've got all of those!
