What is Movie Sign?
Every Sunday night, Twe 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.
Rewind?
It means we've watched it before, but, due to popularity, we're watching them again! ...And that's all.
Next Episode
A hulking chunk of muscle and random screaming teams up with the oldest princess in recorded history to defeat a Pat Riley-lookalike who plans an insurrection aboard a spaceship in the faraway future. Will our heroes overcome the burden of using laughably outdated technology and defeat the evil Kalgon?
Ever wanted to come to Movie Sign but was too afraid to try? Come to this and you won't be sorry. No, really - give it a shot!
