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
Our second movie about a giant atomic turtle is up, and this time around Gamera is dealing with a beast named Barugon (figures, right?) Spacelunkers come across what they think is a giant opal, but it's really the egg containing Barugon. The beast grows and grows and then goes on a destruction streak, leading to a plan to lure the monster into the ocean. Will Gamera be able to defeat the tongue-lashing creature? Well, the sequels say...
Host Segment Highlights
Mac versus PC? It's so old school that there were puppet robots who did it before you would've ever thought. The boys pull out their toys with the 5,000-piece Fighting Men and Monster Set, but when dinner time is called, the 'bots go to TGI Tokyo to fill their stomachs. The crew enjoys a day at the beach and a lesson in Gamera movie stars before presenting their summaries of the atomic turtle movies.
