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
Buck up, it's another season one episode and post-apocolypitic romp on our next outing with Robot Holocaust. Neo, a drifter from the atomic-blasted wastelands, arrives with his klutzy robot sidekick at a factory where slaves labor to fuel the sinister Dark One's Power Station. There, he meets a woman who convinces him to help rescue her scientist father, who has invented a device that can break the Dark One's control over the slaves. Gathering a rag-tag band of allies along the way, Neo and pals travel to the Power Station, where they confront the Dark One's evil servants. It sounds familiar, but really, it isn't.
Host Segment Highlights
We've got ourselves the typical inventions, including a nitro burning pipe and a ski mask with articulated eyebrows - you know, to help robbers in heists. Crow and Tom pretend they're in the "We Zone" and order Joel to do tricks, though like most things, it doesn't go very well. Later, the crew pretends to be in a sitcom, though Cambot's simulator malfunctions and ends in just a mess. And what's better than role playing? Well, that depends, but it's not very fun if most if you're friends aren't into it...
