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
Two couples find themselves cast away to an uncharted island and soon find themselves in the care of Dr. Albert Balleau, a man who likes to hunt both animals...and humans. In case you missed middle school lit class, it's a "Most Dangerous Game"-esque type of deal, which ends up being dealt with in fairly predictable fashion.
Before the movie, we've got a short, "Uncle Jim's Dairy Farm", in which two city kids go and live on their uncle's dairy farm for the summer.
Host Segment Highlights
Dr. F's mom comes for a visit, so Deep 13 gets a re-design. Crow gets a vegetable stand that doesn't last very long, the square dance doesn't last long either, and Mystery Murder Dinner Theater gets cut short as well. Well, at least the Forrester meal will go well...right?
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 bfffrank. Be ready to go and find the playlist here.
