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
Another Bert I. Gordon movie! And going from the title, I bet you can guess sorta what it's about. A kid named Genius (yes, really) accidentally invents a substance that causes all animal life to grow. Genius's sister Nancy and her boyfriend Mike see the money-making potential in the substance and plan to sell it to help solve the world's food problem. Unfortunately, a greedy young opportunist and the group of delinquents he hangs around with decide to steal the stuff and use it for their own purposes. They soon change their minds and decide to eat it for themselves. They grow to gigantic proportions and temporarily take over the town.
