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
Is it back to the future, or forward to the past? Movie Sign gets all wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey when nerdy physics professor Nick Miller invents a time machine out of a light airplane and a Commodore 64. But when Nick's invention is hijacked by the CEO of GenCorp and used to destroy the future, its up to him and his old flame Lisa to restore time to its proper course.
Host Segment Highlights
Crow has a brilliant idea: travel back to Mike's past and change the course of his life so he's never stranded on the Satellite of Love. But things get worse when Mike is replaced by his alcoholic, chain-smoking older brother Eddie.
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 bobevil. Be ready to go and find the video here for watching!
We escape the Rewind loop in February with...
2/6 - Episode 518 - The Atomic Brain (w/short "What About Juvenile Delinquency?")
No meeting on 2/13
2/20 - Episode 419 - The Rebel Set (w/short "Johnny at the Fair")
2/27 - Episode 911 - Devil Fish
There's no Movie Sign on the 13th because Katana and TimeChaser will be off making their fortunes.
