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
An alien is dispatched from a faraway galaxy to take over the Earth (of course!) by duplicating humans and creating a race of zombie-esque creatures. Kolos, said alien, soon find it difficult to complete his task when he develops feelings for a blind girl. But the duplicates have a defect, and it all leads into some sort of climatic battle of climaticness.
Host Segment Highlights
The 'bots want to be improved, and showing your craftiness is a good way to prove the improvement, right? But insulting another does not you a good man make. Servo takes a cue from the movie and duplicates himself, though his duplicates are pretty defective. Hugh Beaumeont swings by for a visit, and find out which way Crow and Tom really swing...
