MeFi MST3K Club

Every week, over on Metafilter Fanfare, we watch an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 online together. It's rather easy to do, too!

What we use is the website cy.tube, which will synchronize a video between different viewers. It works best with YouTube, but videos hosted at other places are known to work. It helps greatly that something like 95% of Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes are already on YouTube somewhere. cy.tube even provides a chatroom for people to make their own jokes and comments during the film!

In those few cases where episodes can't be found, usually because of a movie rights-holder, we have to scramble around to find an alternate source. So far, this means we've had to skip one episode because of this, 213 GODZILLA VS. THE SEA MONSTER. Other than that, we've managed to watch every episode starting from 101 THE CRAWLING EYE, to, this Thursday, 510 THE PAINTED HILLS, just two episodes away from the Mike era.

If people here want to watch too I'd be happy to havve you join us. We watch Thursday evenings at 9 PM US Eastern time, which is 6 PM US Pacific time.

I'm sorry that the times are geared mostly for US watching, we've considered doing alternate shows at different times, but we usually keep the videos up (with some other material) all week anyway. If you're watching alone, you can voteskip ahead to the episode with the button on the far right beneath the video.
