Sundays are now officially boring. With nothin' good on TV and most people dead from the weekend, it's a wonder the evening even exists. Luckily for you, there's Movie Sign to help liven it up! So come and join us in what is perhaps the most insane - yet fun - chat on theOtaku.
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
Rather than an actual movie, Fugitive Alien is compiled of two episodes of the 1970s Japanese TV series Sutaurufu (aka, Starwolf). Branded as a traitor, fugitive alien (get it?) Starwolf Ken (get it again?) is rescued by Earthlings and goes on a mission with them. Almost everybody else is named Ken, too.
Host Segment Highlights
Old Joel Robinson had a farm, E-I-E-I-O...and on that farm there was a hat party, E-I-E-I-O...with a 'bot fight here and a movie scene there, here a screenplay, there a model, everywhere confusion, E-I-E-I-O...
You know the date, so why not give it a go? Join us on Sunday and see what all the fuss is about! Movie starts at 8PM EST, room opens at 7:30.
The password for the room is: forklift
