The Sinus Show

The Sinus Show

The Sinus Show (also known as "Mister Sinus Theater" or "Mister Sinus") were a movie-riffing comedy trio based in Austin, Texas. The Sinus members were John Erler, Jerm Pollett and Owen Egerton. In typical Mystery Science Theater 3000 fashion, the troupe would 'riff' movies in much the same way as MST3K. The big difference was that the show was done live in a movie theater with a live audience. The shows were typically held at the original Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, but were sometimes held as 'Rolling Roadshows'. The movie would be stopped about 3/4 of the way through and a skit would be performed, usually involving one or more members of the audience. Atypical of MST3K movies, The Sinus Show would perform many kinds of movies ranging from kids movies like Mac and Me to action movies like Die Hard or Speed, and not just 'bad' movies like MST3K. Many people enjoy the Sinus Show.

Name Changes

The Sinus Show originally started as "Mister Sinus Theater" in reference to the original Mystery Science Theater TV show as they were huge fans. At some point in their tenure the 3 members were forced to change their name to Mister Sinus to avoid copyright infringement, and later to The Sinus Show after Best Brains threatened to sue them.1
