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.

What's eatin' you, chief?
DEMOCRACY!
War is God.
cannot into space
I don't think I'm going to watch it, just because I'm not going to be home...
but it's a movie called The Black Gestapo. I mean... it's so WTF inducing, how could you not vote for it?
Also, last night was fun. Captions! Yay!
Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.
Tonight's feature presentation is certainly going to be better than Hard Rock Zombies.
Remember to find the link to tonight's Synchtube chatroom in the OP. Get there before 8:00 (EST).
Also, for tonight's vote... I feel I got a pretty difficult choice to put forth that everyone can start pondering over now. For Friday's 8:00 PM Feature Presentation, we have...
- Abraxas: Guardian of the Universe—The description on Youtube reads, "Jesse 'The Body' Ventura former Governor of Minnesota is some kind of space cop and a little boy is threatening the whole universe for some strange reason." And from what else I can gather, Officer Spacecop Ventura doesn't actually spend much of any amount of the movie's time in space (it all takes place on Earth, circa 1991), but to make up for it the filmmakers threw in a lot of smooth jazz music over every single scene.
- Future Force—From what I can gather about this, it's much of the same as the above, except Spacecop Jesse Ventura is replaced by David Carradine with a robot arm that shoots lasers. And no smooth jazz music.
After that, I figure either option would have us so mentally drained and physically spent, that I'll have no choice but to play Starcrash again just to recover.

I'm going with Future Force. Unless you mean that we're doing both, which is cool too.

Either is fine, but I seriously want us to watch Trapped In The Closet one of these days.
As long as "watching Trapped In The Closet" also means "listening to R. Kelly", I promise nothing.

That's kind of a given, unless you wanna watch it mute.
What's eatin' you, chief?
Come on man! It has smooth jazz in EVERY scene! How could you pass that up?
War is God.
Well, I was already thinking of voting for Future Force over that very reason...

Tropers watching movies
Never even heard of it?
What's eatin' you, chief?
Out of curiosity, what was the worst movie we've seen so far?
War is God.
Please...
It may just be very fresh in my mind, but I'm still gonna go with Piranha II: The Spawning
Anyway, THE CHATROOM IS NOW OPEN FOR TONIGHT Go back to the OP and get the link; There is riffing to be done!

I disagree, I think it was either The Beast Of Yucca Flats, Piranha 2: The Spawning, or Gamera Vs. Guiron.
War is God.
I don't think I was here for that first one.

I'll be there in about 30 minutes or so...

I must say, my intrest has been aquired, and thats easier then getting trolls on 4chan.
But for reals, this looks amazaing, and I would be interested in joining!
We'd love to have you with us. Be sure to keep tabs on the OP, and we'll see you at the posted time and place.
Speaking of the OP, we're set to announce our next feature for Friday, August 24, Future Force starring David Carradine.

Exellent!

Oh one thing, is there a easier way to keep track of eastern standard time, cause I'm no good at math.
You can always use Google to search for a timezone converter. Unfortunately, I can't be of much more help if I don't know what timezone you're in.

I don't have an android, and I live in saskatchewan, which is either canadian central or mountain

I sooooooo can't wait for The Black Gestapo... and I know, you can't wait either. It was chosen unanimously to be our next feature.
