MST3K returns for Turkey Day and more!

Disc Announcements, News

You know what’s better than being half awake on the sofa after a turkey dinner watching Thanksgiving football? Being half awake and watching the Mystery Science Theater Turkey Day Marathon. Joel, Mike and the Bots know how to stuff quite a few birds on the big screen. Thanks to the folks at Shout! Factory, MST3K is back on Thanksgiving with a more than just seconds of pumpkin pie. Even more exciting is that they’re making new MST3K episodes thanks to a Kickstarter that’s reached the first goal. Here’s the press release from Shout! Factory about where to find the marathon with new segments on the internet:
