What is Movie Sign?
Every Sunday night, 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. Don't worry - we use episodes available on streaming sites so that we can all watch simultaneously.
What's MST3K?
A comedy show that ran from 1988-1999, it's like watching a movie with running commentary. Joel Robinson or Mike Nelson, along with 'bots Tom Servo and Crow, are forced to watch terrible films as part of a mad scientist's bid for world domination. To keep their (and our) sanity, they talk back to the movies and riff on them. A more detailed explanation can be found up at the SoL.
Next Episode
We're adventuring in the world of old with Quest of the Delta Knights. Apparently, there's a secret organization over in Europe known as the Delta Knights. They quest to find a secret storehouse of Archimedes because he's apparently the best of the old time philosophers. You've got your classic fantasy characters and storyline, including a princess and some evil warriors and etc. Everything you've seen before, but now in lampooned form!
Host Segment Highlights
Pearl decides to find out what's wrong her experiment and trades places with Mike. The 'bots become very attached to her, but enough's enough and goes back to being the controller. Servo gets over his grief by forming a quartet and singing the enchanting "Air on a Delta Knight" before receiving some hate when Leonardo daVinci shows up. And what better way to end it all by having a pancake breakfast, hosted by the modern-day Delta Knights?
