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
Let's get this out of the way first - the title is probably far more mis-leading than you think. There is no kitten and there probably isn't a whip, so get that out of your head. Anyway, Jody, a juvenile delinquent, escapes from reform school by some stabbity-stab methods and attempts to burn the place down before taking refuge in a house owned by ambitious politician David Patton. Despite her charms, the politician wants nothing to do with her (now THERE'S a plot twist), but she strikes back by bringing her delinquent pals back to the house and taking him hostage. Hmm...now that sounds a bit kinky...title justified.
Host Segment Highlights
The crew of the SoL have had it, and are planning to escape by their most dangerous method yet - direct infiltration! But that goes as well as you would think it does, so that idea gets scrapped and instead the 'bots obtain bionic noises to fool around with. Later, an actual kitten with a whip visits on the Hexfield, though it's probably far less than you're hoping for (or not, depends on your demographic). Mikes takes to hazing himself when the satellite passes over the equator before everything is set right by holding a fiesta on board.
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.
