For twenty-four weeks we have been spared. But now, on the twenty-fifth week of Movie Sign, on an unsuspecting Sunday night in a not-so-quiet Chat on theOtaku...it will be unleashed upon the world.
Are you brave enough to face what is quite possibly the Worst Movie Ever Made?
What is Movie Sign?
Every week, 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. We use episodes available on YouTube 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. You can read up on the show over at the SoL.
Next Episode
Quite possibly the most notorious of any episode, Manos: The Hands of Fate sees us joining a pleasant family on vacation. Becaue following directions is hard, they get lost and wind up at a lodge manned by the bizarre Torgo, who says he "looks after the place while The Master is away". Who is The Master? What's up with Torgo? And why on Earth was this movie even made?
But first, a short: The sequel to "Hired! Part 1" that can be seen in episode 423, however, it stands alone just fine. Learn work ethic and how to be a salesman the way only Chevrolet can teach you.
Host Segment Highlights
Joel programs the 'bots to agree with everything he says but quickly finds it annoying while Gypsy gets frustrated at all of them for ruining her scene and having a sobfest over the movie instead, despite Frank's apology. Later, J&TB discuss just why and how Torgo is the movie's monster before going into cosplay mode during Dr. F's own apology.
Prep yourself with this clip:
