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
Suspiciously middle-aged teenage aliens come to Earth to scout out grazing land for their giant lobsters, but Derek, the Sensitive One, has a conflict of conscious and ends up being ousted by his group. Renting a room from Betty and her Grandpa, he ends up on an adventure of love and fighting the good fight while trying to protect the town.
Host Segment Highlights
Joel trains the 'bots in a manner of self-restraint, but what goes around comes around and he ends dispensing some pain to himself. Ever wanted to sniff your grades? Now you can with the scratch-'n-sniff report card, but even the beauteous smell of biology won't shake the fact that real-life landlords are always creepier than the in the movie. Some boss things go down before our boys strut their stuff with a duct-tape themed fashion show.
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 torcha. Be ready to go and find the videos here.
