MST3K Creator Joel Hodgson and Star Jonah Ray Celebrate 30 Years of the Iconic Show with Pre-Holiday Streaming Marathon on Shout! Factory TV

It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without turkey—cinematic turkey, that is! With the new season of Mystery Science Theater 3000 premiering on Thanksgiving Day exclusively on Netflix, Shout! Factory TV is helping MSTies whet their appetite for cheesy movies with a brand-new Mystery Science Theater 3000 “Turkey Day” Marathon four days earlier than usual, on Sunday, Nov. 18.

Join series creator Joel Hodgson and Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Gauntlet host Jonah Ray starting at noon eastern/9 a.m. PT on Sunday, Nov. 18, as they celebrate thirty years of the iconic cult TV show. The pre-holiday “Turkey Day” marathon will showcase six MST3K episodes, brand-new episode intros featuring Joel and Jonah and a sneak peek at Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Gauntlet, featuring behind-the-scenes interviews with cast and crew. To help the cast celebrate this momentous milestone in MST3K history, fans are asked to share their favorite “MSTie Memories” from the past thirty years via social media by using the hashtag #MST3KTurkeyDay.

Visit MST3KTurkeyDay.com for info on how to watch the “Turkey Day” marathon and participate in “Turkey Day” festivities during the holiday week.

Continue the Turkey Day festivities on Thursday, Nov. 22, with the launch of Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Gauntlet on Netflix. Kinga Forrester has unveiled the latest innovation in movie riffing – THE GAUNTLET! Can Jonah Heston, Tom Servo, Crow T. Robot, Gypsy – and you! – survive sitting through six cheesy movies in a row? The new season features comedian Jonah Ray as the host (“Jonah Heston”), actress and comedian Felicia Day as the Mad (“Kinga Forrester”), actor and comedian Patton Oswalt as the evil henchman (“Max”), and comedians Baron Vaughn, Hampton Yount, and Rebecca Hanson as the voices of “Tom Servo,” “Crow T.

Podcast Talks MSTieween

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the filming of the 1993 Turkey Day Marathon bumpers, aka MSTieween, the MST3KRevivalLeaguePodcast interviewed a few of the fans who took part in that event, including Sampo and myself. You can listen to it here.

If you’re not familiar with that particular Turkey Day, or haven’t seen it in a while, you can watch the bumpers here.

RIP Kyoko Enami

Japan — Actress Kyoko Enami died October 27 due to pulmonary emphysema. She was 76.
Among her most acclaimed films was 1973’s “Tsugaru Folksong.” But MSTies know her from her role as Karen in the movie in episode 304- GAMERA VS. BARUGON.

Anime News Network has the story.

Thanks to Timmy for the heads up.

Weekend Discussion Thread: Dangerous Stunts

Alert reader Charles suggests:

What about dangerous stunts? There is a scene in the “Beast of Hollow mountain” where a stuntmen and horse fall down a mountain. I had to look up whether that stunt man was killed. It sure looked like he was seriously hurt.

One of the things I like about season 11 is that they pay attention to this — like the fire pellets being shot at the stars of “The Land that Time Forgot.”

What are your most egregious stunts in MSTed movies?
