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
We know you've been missing motorcycle-riding gangsters, so they're back in Wild Rebels! Rod Tillman is a stock car driver who quits because he can't complete a lap without his car blowing up. After hitting up a bar and stinging the ego of one of the bikers, Rod is then persuaded by the police to go undercover and spy on said bikers. Then bad things happen and lots of people die.
Host Segment Highlights
Gypsy's not feeling so well, so Joel turns off the higher functions of the ship in order to communicate with her better. A little loopy from the lack of oxygen, he proceeds to teach the 'bots about Harley-riding intelligentsia before they divulge themselves in Wild Rebels Cereal. "JUST EAT 'EM!" Then the purple 'bot gets a sweet little serenade from Joel in what is an undeniably adorable skit. Well, at least for us.
Come join us! We don't bite, promise. Movie starts at 8pm EST/5pm PST, room opens at the :30 beforehand.
