Mystery Science Theater 3000: C/D, S/D.

IT'S ALL HAPPENING

A long lost Thanksgiving tradition is resurrecting from the grave. The annual Mystery Science Theater 3000 marathon will return this year. It's a holiday miracle!

Taking in hours of MST3K after gorging yourself on turkey and family hostility is tradition, but unfortunately the long day of laugh/napping was cancelled when Comedy Central pulled the plug on the marathon back in 1997.

But now it's back as MST3K creator Joel Hodgson and Shout! Factory celebrate the show's 25th anniversary. Beginning at noon (EST) on Thanksgiving Day you can log onto MST3KTurkeyDay.com for six glorious full (and free) episodes of MST3K.

Hodgson is taking episode suggestions via his Twitter, so get on there and DEMAND a Mitchell screening. So glad to have this tradition back!

We gather together to watch cheesy movies...

Do you have a question you’ve always wanted to ask about MST3K? Huzzah! Joel Hodgson will be participating in a Reddit AMA starting at 1 pm
PT / 4 pm ET on Tuesday, Nov. 26th. Submit
your questions and join in the conversation with
Joel and your fellow MST-ies by visiting http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/. The AMA will run until 3 pm PT / 6 pm ET.

I know what to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!

Annnnnd happy 25th anniversary to the show. In combination with the Who 50th it all seems auspicious.

Livestream Turkey Day marathon kicks in here in ten minutes:

I guessed the first movie correctly!

One of the best.

"Blast Hardcheese!" etc.

A good introductory episode, where the movie would be entertaining by itself, and the commentary is also excellent.

Haha love this next one. Took until the first hint but then I got it. Third ever episode I saw all the way through!

watching now! just in time for I Accuse My Parents

Are you happy in your thanksgiving?

LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR

"Walt Disney interviewing another Snow White."

Hahah I love this skit. Joel's mustaches and wigs...

Haha had forgotten this totally Minnesota-specific joke:

"She spends more now these days than...she did back in Iowa."

"Oooh, THAT'S cold."

subconscious mobile is awesome

jimmy's complicated haircut

"here now what're y'doin in a Cocteau film boy, go home t'your mother"

One of my ALL TIME favorite jokes is coming up in a few minutes. Also one of the subtlest ones they ever did.

Hahaha there it was. (As Jimmy's lurking in front of the diner, Tom -- appropriately -- quietly does the intro vocal part from the DNA remix of Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner.")

god, this diner scene!

"Got 'em piled out back!"

"Look, can I have my hamburger?"

AT ALICE'S RESTAU-RANT

And into Werewolf.

"Dictator for Life: Santa"

"i was playing Miss Havisham in the school play when I was attacked by this werewolf"

Haha Cave Dwellers now. Great run so far. Will need to bow out soon to head to dinner at a friend's but I'll try and catch the host segments later; might just pause the stream.

I didn't get to watch a whole lot, but the bit I did was very special.

Just rewound and started it over again to take me into dreamland.

MST3K is with absolutely, positively no doubt Minnesota's best cultural export.

Awwww man, thought this was going til midnight. Got back from dinner party and we caught just the last four minutes of Mitchell. :(

Mitchell!

watching cave dwellers now since I missed it

omg the credit re-enactment made me laugh an m&m out my nose
joel in that handlebar mustache bwahaha

"...you look perfect, I could eat you up!"
"And I could bite that big toe!"

Joel's very dancer-ly turns away from the camera in the "Are You Happy in Your Work" reenactment get me every time.

i love him so much

When Joel gets surly big brother to the 'bots (e.g. unplugging Cambot and turning to the rest and barking "Who's next?!"), I gotta admit ... I find it kinda hot.

right there with you

in other news I am watching zombie nightmare

oh and I watched Crash of the Moons last night, i liked that one a lot

Though filmed in Canada, Zombie Nightmare also strikes me as a documentary about Australia. In that those types were there too at that time, I suspect.

lol yes my hometown was totally like that

Zombie Nightmare worth it for, if nothing else, the unintelligible witch-doctor and the Penguin-voiced detective.

that witch doctor looool
