This has always seemed like the weirdest thing to me. I was super into the SciFi channel and I’d always change the channel when this came on. I hate when people talk during movies. Is it just like, because the movie they’re watching is bad and they say funny stuff making fun of it that people like?
- billjings 5y agoWell, there's this whole idea of a good bad movie. Movies like this one: https://youtu.be/aFgQ34b96_U https://youtu.be/aFgQ34b96_U It's a really, really bad movie. But the director's choices are captivating in how bizarre and wrongheaded they are. If you like this kind of thing (and not everybody does), it's natural to want to have that be a social experience. Partly because it's always more fun to laugh in a group, but also to sort of look at each other and say, "Did something that bad actually happen on screen?" MST really clicked for me and a lot of people, because Joel/Mike and the bots on screen clued me in to this whole way of watching movies that I'd otherwise have only been able to pick up on in a live theater. And, realistically, it was the only way these gems of entertainingly bad cinema were going to get airtime: without the jokes, many would've been much too boring otherwise.
