Winter sports and alien invasions. They go together like... uh, wait, those don't go together at all!
What's 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 Google Video 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
The Venusians are coming! The Venusians are coming! Well, one Venusian anyway. In It Conquered the World, embittered scientist Dr. Tom Anderson (Lee Van Cleef), makes contact with a Venusian who offers peace to the Earth... by ridding humanity of emotions. Yeah, like that doesn't sound sinister at all... When it becomes apparent that the alien invader is just out to turn the human race into mindless slaves, it's up to another scientist, Dr. Paul Nelson (Peter Graves), to save the day.
Included is a short news reel about winter games called Snow Thrills.
Host Segment Highlights
Tom plays announcer to the SoL's own winter sports extravaganza, Joel and the Bots banter over dinner, and they discuss Hollywood siblings who don't share the same last name.
