After loading your plate with enough turkey, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce to make it till New Year's, you can plop down on your couch this Thanksgiving and enjoy a hearty helping of Mystery Science Theater 3000 courtesy of the folks at Shout! Factory, who will be streaming their annual turkey day marathon of the cult classic show.

Press Release: It’s time to talk turkey—cinematic turkey, that is! Shout! Factory continues its revival of the beloved MST-ie Thanksgiving tradition with a newly curated Mystery Science Theater 3000 Turkey Day Marathon. Hosted by show creator Joel Hodgson and Season 11 host Jonah Ray, the marathon will feature the six most popular classic MST3K episodes of all time.

Starting at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET on Thursday, November 24th, the marathon will showcase the six most popular classic episodes as chosen from the recent fan survey of the 100 Most Popular Classic MST3K Episodes, as well as brand-new episode intros. Visit ShoutFactoryTV.com to partake in the Turkey Day festivities and participate in the event on Twitter by using the hashtag #mst3k.

Following the record-breaking Kickstarter campaign to #BringBackMST3K in 2015, 14 new episodes of MST3K will be airing on Netflix in 2017. Season 11 will feature comedian Jonah Ray as the next host (“Jonah Heston”), actress and comedian Felicia Day as the next Mad (“Kinga Forrester”), actor and comedian Patton Oswalt as the next evil henchman (“TV’s Son of TV’s Frank”), comedians Baron Vaughn and Hampton Yount as the newest voices of “Tom Servo” and “Crow T. Robot,” respectively, and of course, more cheesy movies to riff.
