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
Creeper creeper creeper...you give ME the creeps! C'mon Brute Man, why are you on such a killing spree? Oh, that's right, your face was disfigured when you were in college by the guy who made a move on the girl you liked. But you know what'll cheer you up? Chickens! That's right, come on down and learn the extremely complicated process of getting eggs and meat to your table in the short beforehand.

Host Segment Highlights
Careful what you do when Crow's on babysitting patrol, 'cause he decides who lives and who dies. Inspired by the short, Servo puts himself in an egg in order to experience the wonders of chicken birth, but Mike has to cut it short as he calls an old girlfriend in another desperate bid to escape. And then in a bit of randomness, Crow takes his cue from a look-a-like character and compares Tom Dewey to Tom Dooley. No, I don't get it either.

Come join us! We don't bite, promise. Movie starts at 8pm EST/5pm PST, room opens at the :30 beforehand.
