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
Busy as ever at the Watercooler, I see...
Joe Don Baker (yes, really) is Thomas Jefferson Geronimo (yes, really), a deputy sheriff working in a small town in South Texas. When two mafia hit men try to escape across the border to Mexico, Geronimo, with the skill of a quick-draw gunfighter, kills one and captures the other. When Geronimo tries to take his prisoner to Italy for extradition, they find themselves on an unplanned layover in Malta. The Texas lawman must battle the Mafia to finish the job he started.
Host Segment Highlights
Is anything worse than the owner of a lonely heart? Maybe getting music cues when you don't want them, or perhaps repeated shots trying to mark themselves as new. The friend to Maltese children everywhere he goes, Goosio, pays a visit to the SoL, but Crow isn't too friendly to the men of Malta...
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 goosio. Good times, we've got the whole video for watching!
April will wrap up with...
4/24 - Episode 417 - Crash of the Moons (w/short, "General Hospital" Part 3)
...and you'll just have to wait for May.
