This year's marathon will be the first to be released on the Gizmoplex streaming platform.
In the not-too-distant future, next Thursday A.D., Mystery Science Theater 3000 will stream its annual Turkey Day marathon of classic episodes - and this year, it's bigger than it has been in nearly thirty years. The movie-mocking cult show will stream ten episodes, instead of its usual six, on Thanksgiving Day.
The show made the announcement via Twitter today, in a trailer narrated by Penn Jillette. This year's marathon will be the first to be released on the Gizmoplex, the new streaming platform that was used to release this year's thirteen-episode 13th season of MST3K; it will also be available on Twitch, and YouTube. The trailer also features a rundown of the classic episodes that will be included in the marathon: The Sword and the Dragon, The Starfighters, Catalina Caper, The Horror of Party Beach, Santo in the Treasure of Dracula, Beyond Atlantis, Warrior of the Lost World, City Limits, Parts: The Clonus Horror, and Mitchell.
The Turkey Day marathon began in 1991, when MST3K was still airing new episodes on Comedy Central. The marathons ran annually until 1995, when the show departed for Sci-Fi Channel; Sci-Fi did air one Thanksgiving marathon of the show in 1997, but the tradition otherwise lay fallow until 2013, when Shout Factory, which had acquired the home-media rights to the show, revived it by streaming six classic episodes every year. This year's episodes were decided via an online fan vote.
