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
It's been a while since we've had teen delinquents, and now we've got the perfect deliverance in Teen-Age Crime Wave. Delinquent beauty Terry seduces a doughy man from a bar, and when the mugging goes bad, she, her pals, and the guy's date Jane are shoved off to Rosedale Industrial School. Busted out by a psycho, the group hides out on an elderly couple's farm, where things reach fever pitch. And then grinds to a halt. And then somehow gets wrapped up.
Host Segment Highlights
We're escapin'! Oh yeah right, like that would ever happen...Guess it's time to salute the Golden Age of the Doughy Guy, and what better way to cap that off with the first ever deli in space? The SOL Deli has sandwiches based off of some of the crap movies we've had to witness, and TV's Frank is their first customer. And does anyone remember those annoying Mentos ads? Well, the crew sure does, and performs their own send-up on the subject.
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.

What is it?
A weekly chat to watch and enjoy the new season of Doctor Who.
What is Doctor Who?
A long-running British scifi TV series about a mysterious man called the Doctor, the last of the Time Lords, who travels through time and space in his TARDIS, a ship disguised as an old fashioned Police Box. The Doctor and his various companions explore the universe and battle evil wherever they encounter it.
This Week
Amy takes a trip into history when the TARDIS arrives in WWII London during the height of the Blitz. Called in by Churchill, the Doctor discovers Daleks masquerading as new secret weapons in the fight against the Nazis. Could it be true? Could the Daleks really be helping mankind? Or do they have a secret agenda of their own?

THIS WEEK
Digimon Adventure: Season 1
Tai, Sora, Matt, Izzy, Mimi, Joe and T.K. are seven normal kids enjoying summer camp, until they are suddenly transported to another world full of monsters: Digital Monsters! Now it’s up to them to save the Digital World (and their own) from a slew of evil bad guys bent on world destruction.
In Episode 40, Enter the Dark Masters, Tai and the others have finally managed to defeat Myotismon, only to be hurtled back to the Digital World. But things aren’t peaceful here either, as Chuumon explains that four Digimon calling themselves the Dark Masters have relocated the entire Digital World to Spiral Mountain where they intend to take it over. Just who are these guys?
Then, in Episode 52, Piedmon’s Last Jest, the gang is giving their all in a last stand battle against Piedmon, but things are coming up short. Piedmon turns the kids to key chains one by one, all except for Kari and T.K. Can the youngest of the DigiDestined pull off a miracle?
Also, become better friends with the international population with a song. Watch “Schnitzelbank” with us to learn how.
You can find the episodes here and here. You can find the compilation here.
