Just curious to see what communities you would like to see more engagement in.

Here's a couple I joined but it's been pretty quiet:

Mystery Science Theatre 3000, like the original reaction videos. A cast of silly people/robot puppets watch a movie and comment on it.

    Wow I forgot this existed. I somehow found myself watching one of these as a kid and was SO confused. Haven't seen one since. I hated it at the time because I just wanted to see the movie. Recommend one to try as an adult?

    The idea that somebody watched a MST3k and was just pissed that these guys were in front of and talking over the movie is hilarious to me.

    They just riff over movies, look through what they've done and pick a movie you either like, dislike, or have heard is famously bad and you'll either like their comedy style or not, I don't personally like them

    The first episode I saw was on The Comedy Channel/Comedy Central while staying at a hotel. I was way too young to understand the majority of the jokes but the made a couple specifically calling out places where I'm from (live in Wisconsin) that it blew my mind.

    Some suggestions from a MiST who grew up watching them via friends recording them on VHS...

    • Mitchell (Season 5, Episode 12)
    • The Final Sacrifice (Season 9, Episode 10)
    • Pod People (Season 3, Episode 3)
    • Werewolf (Season 9, Episode 4)
    • Time Chasers (Season 8, Episode 21)
    • Overdrawn at The Memory Bank (Season 8, Episode 22)
    • Hobgoblins (Season 9, Episode 7)
    • Soultaker (Season 10, Episode 1)
    • Catalina Caper (Season 2, Episode 4)

    Some of these are available for free, some you need to get off Netflix or other places. There is a mst3k channel that plays episodes 24/7 on Pluto TV, and you can stream much of the original series (there was a revival via Kickstarter that's on Netflix and now online) via Gizmoolex.com

    There once was a website (a long time ago might still exist) that had links to YT copies people uploaded from their VHS. It had some in-browser IRC client and you could chat with others in sort of a watch party. Was where I saw a lot of seasons not played by Comedy Central / SciFi or Mystery Science Theater Hour.

    This was a long time ago. Like back when browsers had plugins for Shockwave. I doubt it still exists.
