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.
Buh? Rewind?
A clever way for us to combat death, a "Rewind" session means we've watched the episode before and wanted to watch it again...so we are.
Next Episode
Professor Tony Farms discovers that he is really Puma Man from the Aztec priest Vadinho, who tries to train him in the ways of the hero and thwart the plans of Kobras, who is in possession of the sacred puma mask, and plans to hypnotize government leaders with it and take over the world. But Tony is kind of a whiny wuss, spending most of the movie flying awkwardly and jumping around, leaving Vadinho to be the actual hero. There's a blonde love interest in there too.
Host Segment Highlights
Servo, you've got Short Man's Disease. Mike, your haircut is terrible, and being Coatimundi Man isn't going to help the situation. Sorry 'bots, the Aztec mask you built isn't going to control anyway, especially not Roger Whittaker. But hey, the real Whittaker can cheer anyone, even Pearl, up!
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.
The password for the room is pyooma. Be ready to go and find the video here!
