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.

Disappointed that I won't be able to join in tonight. Have class.

I'm thinking of some good, old-fashioned Space Opera BS tonight. We certainly haven't seen many of those in a while.
Here's one called Star Odyssey. All I can find to promote it is an okay fan-made trailer, and it should look a bit familiar to anybody with a rather good memory...
Pre-show is starting. Everybody, come on in! http://synchtu.be/SeanMurrayI
It glitched on me, so I had to stop. Best I could gather was that it was trying too hard to rip off of a cliff-notes version of Dune.
What happened?

All I remember is people pronouncing UFO as "OOOFOH", a robot couple with a suicide pact that was always good for a dose of batshit dialogue whenever they made an appearance, android alien clones from the planet Lady Gaga "invading" Earth on behalf of Darth Waffleface, and the obligatory "laser sword battle".
It was a pretty dull movie throughout and sorely lacked a good assortment of muzak to move everything along, but a few of us seemed to have had an enjoyable enough time cracking wise in the chat that it pulled a ![]()
-rating.
Anyway, Wednesday night, do not panic, but SCREAM! Scream for your lives! It's The Tingler...

Ton of blood and guts.
