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.
Next Episode
Back in November, we watched the Amazing Colossal Man, and now here we are, watching it's sequel, War of the Colossal Beast! So it turns out Glen Manning survived the attack at Hoover Damn, but part of his face was blasted off and he's sort of converted into the mentality of a groaning beast. But since all big things need to die, the army is on it and ready to take him down.
But before that, we've got ourselves a short, and probably the most memorable of the whole series. Mr. B Natural, the gender-ambiguous spirit of music, is out to get young kids imbued with the thrill and excitement of being in band and playing an instrument. And let's just say it's as creepy as it sounds...and more.
Host Segment Highlights
Feeling a bit hungry? Joel and the 'bots have you covered with their Mexfood combos and the breakfast bazooka - you know, for those of us on the go. After the short, Tom and Crow argue over whether or not Mr. B Natural really deserves the title of mister, and then we've got a surprise revisit from Glen! And do you want your future read? Well, maybe you do, but I'm not sure if Joel is going at it the right way...
