Olive stirring? Crack pairings? Packers won the Super Bowl?! It must be Movie Sign!
What's Movie Sign?
Every week, we nestle down in Chat and watch an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K for short) while spamming up the Chat box. We use episodes available on You Tube so that we can all watch simultaneously.
What's MST3K?
It's a comedy show about a man and his robots, stranded in space and forced to watch some of the worst movies ever made as part of a mad scientist's bid for world domination. To keep their (and our) sanity, Joel Robinson or Mike Nelson, along with 'bots Tom Servo and Crow, talk back to the films and riff on them.
Next Episode
It's a holly jolly Movie Sign when we view Episode 521 - Santa Claus, a film that utterly wrecks everything you ever thought you knew about Christmas. Santa is an alien who lives in his castle in space above the North Pole. Instead of elves, his Toyland workshop is run by children from many (stereotyped) nations around the world... Getting freaked out yet? It doesn't end there: Santa's reindeer are mechanical, and Lucifer (yep, the Devil himself) sends his demonic minion Pitch to foil Santa's Christmas flight and turn the children of the world to evil. Did I mention this film was made in Mexico and has a really annoying narrator?
Host Segment Highlights
A caroling attempt ends in disaster; the SoL crew exchange inappropriate gifts; Mike and the Bots give a performance as the rock band Santa Klaws; the Bots arrange a reunion of Mike's family; the episode concludes with the heartwarming, politically correct holiday song "Merry Christmas... If That's OK".
