Join us - TimeChaser, Katana, and Shinmaru - for the next Movie Sign on theOtaku Community Chat.
What is Movie Sign?
Each week, we watch an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 while having a fun, spammy chat about it. We use episodes available on You Tube so everyone can watch them simultaneously.
What is MST3K?
It's a comedy show about a man and his robots being forced to watch bad movies as part of a mad scientist's experiment. The man, Joel Robinson or Mike Nelson, and the robots Tom Servo and Crow, watch real B-movies and riff on them, that is make jokes and talk back to the films.
Next Episode
The scent of stinkburger is in the air when we watch Episode 421 - Monster A-Go-Go. When an astronaut disappears from his descending space capsule, the military engage in a manhunt for a large, humanoid monster (which either replaced said astronaut, or said astronaut was transformed into).
This movie proves to be one of the worst in MST history: it ran out of money in 1961, and wasn't completed until 1965. As a consequence half the characters vanish and are replaced by others to fill in their roles. Even one returning actor looked so different that he had to play his original character's brother! And if you thought it couldn't get any worse, the narrator closes the move with the suggestion that none of it ever happened!!
The film is preceeded by the short, Circus on Ice, or as Tom says, "Dehumanized Objectified Circus on Ice!"
Host Segment Highlights: Gypsy "doesn't get" Crow... or is it Tom?; Joel and Tom play keep-away with Crow; the guys run through a detailed breakdown of "The Pina Colada Song".
Check out Joel trying to cheer up Tom and Crow after the movie:
So be there next Sunday night and join in the fun! Movie starts at 8 PM EST, chat opens at 7:30.
