It's been one year?! Where did the time go?
So we've watched fifty-three awful movies (including the test run), a collection of old shorts, and approximately 265 host segments. We've developed countless jokes and memes. But never fret - if you've ever wanted to know what it's all about but were too afraid to come, this is the perfect chance join in.
For a refresher:
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 Movie:
In the Universal classic This Island Earth, hunky nuclear physicist Cal is contacted by a strange man named Exeter. Arriving at a conference of other leading atomic scientists, Cal soon discovers that their hosts are not quite human (no duh! big forehead alert!). Cal and token woman Ruth are whisked off on a visit to the planet it Metaluna, one they'll be lucky to ever return from.
MST3K: The Movie, however, runs a bit shorter than a standard episode, so after that, we'll be watching the Poopie tape, a collection of outtakes and bloopers from seasons 2-6 of the show.
Special note! This week's feature must be downloaded in order to watch! You can get it here.
The playlist for the outtakes reel can be found here.
Whew! One last thing; the password for the room shall be normalview. All set to go? Good! Come join us on Sunday to see what all the fuss is about! Movie starts at 8pm EST/5pm PST, room opens at the :30 beforehand.
August continues on with...
8/23 - Episode 403 - City Limits
8/30 - Episode 621 - The Beast of Yucca Flats (w/shorts "Money Talks" and "Progress Island, USA")
