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
"That's not Sinbad~!"
Set sail for oddities when we head off with The Magic Voyage of Sinbad! This Finnish movie tells the story of Persian hero "Sinbad" in several different plot points, starting with him falling for the maiden Luberia and ending with him playing the harp in order to make Neptune and his wife happy in a crazy musical dance scene. Come along for the ride and try to forget that it's not really Sinbad.
