Happy Turkey Day everybody! Because we have a long weekend, I have two topics to get us through.

First–Are you having a Turkey Day marathon this weekend? What are you watching and why?

Me: “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians” is a Thanksgiving tradition in my house, but I think I will opt for Cinematic Titanic version. I don’t know whether it’s just that I’ve seen it less often, but right now I think it’s a better version. And of course I’ll be watching 403- CITY LIMITS for next week’s episode guide. I also plan to get to the latest RiffTrax, “Buffalo Rider.”

Second–What MSTed movie character would you like to invite for dinner?

My pick: the giant ducks from episode 523- VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS.

Have at it!

Alert longtime MSTie Jenny suggests…

I’ve always hated not getting the joke and, well, there some host segments I just didn’t get. Maybe because I was too young or wasn’t Minnesotan. So how about host segments you just didn’t get and scratched your head at. Like in 610- THE VIOLENT YEARS, when Tom reenacts a tearful scene from “A Star is Born.” Didn’t get it.

I’ve always been a bit baffled by the “emotional scientist” sketch from episode 210- KING DINOSAUR. Too many layers.

What segment would you pick?
