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 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
Mike and the 'bots have a doozy of a picture on their hands this week, as they travel down South for Squirm. In this movie, a geeky doof named Mick travels to Fly Creek, Georgia for some hardcore "antiquing" with his new ladyfriend, Geri. The residents of Fly Creek do not take kindly to Mick, especially the lovely worm bait gatherer, Roger (he has his own truck!), but this pair of antique enthusiasts have bigger things to worry about after an electrical surge turns of horde of worms into vicious killers.
But before that, in the short "A Case of Spring Fever," Coilie the Spring Sprite uses the power of Satan to break a man's will and make him worship springs for life.
Host Segment Highlights
A safety check on the SoL proves there is none to be had before the 'bots decide to show off their prized pig in the Forrester Fair. Crow, inspiried by the short, wishes there was no Mike, but Katana Mikey the Mike Sprite has something to say about that! Then Servo, suffering from the movie, comes down with severe Southern Belle syndrome whilst Mike plays mad scientist on his worm farm.
