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. The troupe would 'riff' movies in much the same way as Mystery Science Theater 3000, but 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' or performed at QuakeCon. The movie would be stopped about three quarters of the way through and a skit would be performed, usually involving one or more members of the audience. The Sinus Show was performed with many kinds of movies ranging from kids movies like Mac and Me to action movies like Die Hard or Speed, not just 'bad' movies like MST3K. 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. A faction of them now perform under the name Master Pancake Theater.
