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
Michele, a young woman who works at a dead-end job, is convinced by an obviously untrustworthy creeper, Buz, to go with him to Los Angeles, where he claims to have connections that can land her a job as a Go-Go dancer. The two head on out to LA, joined with a hitchhiker named Critter. But once there, Michele learns of the seedy underworld and wonders if it's really worth it.
Host Segment Highlights
Back in the day, WWJD bracelets were really popular, and so Crow has his own - a WWBSMD version. Pearl's trying to get accredited by the Institute of Mad Scientists, Crow tries his hand at being a biker thug, there's some strange robot dancing, and an odd lament of redundant love.
