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
Get ready for some sword, sorcery, and parallel worlds when we watch Outlaw. The second film made based on a long-running series of novels, Professor Tarl Cabot once again finds himself on the planet Gor following a very confusing flashbacky intro sequence AND with a lumpy and annoying sidekick in tow. But Cabot's return is complicated by the scheming wizard Jack Palance Xenos. And you know it's an 80s fantasy film when there's a whole lotta scantily clad women prancing around.
