For the uninitiated... A contingent of tropers (mostly from across America) holds regular get-togethers over the Interwebs on this site called Synchtube which lets individuals, such as ourselves, open and join in text-based chatrooms within typical web browsers (Firefox, Chrome, et. al.) that allow the chat participants to view YouTube videos in synchronization with everyone else present (without even needing to set up an account)... and we've decided to use said chatrooms to play cheeseball webvideos and feature-length movies found in the public domain which stretch all the way from letters B to Z, which everyone subsequently riffs on a la MST3K.
For over EIGHT years, everybody who gets involved mostly finds good enjoymentnote in calling out tropes that are recognized in the videos and stories and coming up with jokes to fling back at whatever's happening on the screen, many of which turn into various in-jokes and running gags (a Coven Glossary is kept and maintained for everyone's help and convenience HERE) to repeat in the chat.
We're always looking for new ways to better coordinate and expand our activities and are more than happy to welcome newcomers interested in joining our gatherings.

That's gonna be totally boring. Calling it.
What's eatin' you, chief?
I'm confused, I'm in Sean's room now and it isn't registering me even though I'm signed in.
What's going on?
War is God.
Whatever it is, it's not just you. And no rooms on Synchtube seem to be loading properly.
What's eatin' you, chief?
The site might be undergoing maintenance for all I know. It could just be a malfunction of some sort.
Hell, maybe someone hacked it.
War is God.
Whatever the deal is, there's nothing any of us can do about it except wait... and that can take up until forever (or just long enough to eliminate any chance of having an opportunity to watch a terrible movie with a group).
Regardless, we're waiting.

What's eatin' you, chief?
I sent a formal complaint to the site's gmail account.
We'll see if it gets amended.
War is God.
And Physical Stamina. What a guy!
Heh heh. Aw, shucks...
And Synchtube seems to be working properly again.
Come join us now, if you're still out there while I hastily start a movie. http://www.synchtube.com/r/SeanMurrayI
This is it, guys... It's coming... Stop and tell me if you've heard this one before...
- Plot Point #1—The country of Parmistan is a nation with a strange custom—new immigrants, if they survive the trek into the country, are allowed to participate in "The Game". Any player who survives "The Game" (Again, survives; they're not playing Monopoly here) is allowed to make one request.
- Plot Point #2—Due to Parmistan's geographic placement, it is the perfect location for part of the Reagan-era "Star Wars" defense system.
- Plot Point #3—Putting Points #1 and #2 together, a loyal American agent must survive "The Game" and use their wish to secure an agreement for the "Star Wars" facility, or else the security of the United States is at tremendous risk.
- Plot Point #4—America's secret agent is an Olympic gymnast.
It can only mean one thing...
Go and tell all your friends. Tell all your friends to tell all their friends. Those who are about to join us tonight are going to be gaining admittance into an exclusive club of "People who have seen GYMKATA", which will allow one to have significantly higher social standing (over other nerds who have NOT yet seen GYMKATA) for the rest of their lives. For more, check the OP!

Am I a weirdo?
You missed out on a fun one.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.

To make up for it, I have a couple suggestions I loved seeing if only for the sheer potential: East Meets Watts, and The Oozing Skull.
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987
East Meets Watts is already on the suggestions list under a different title (The Dynamite Brothers). I'll add The Oozing Skull, though.
Movie soon, check the OP!
