Watch MST3K’s 2017 Turkey Day Marathon

Everybody has their own Thanksgiving traditions, and a lot of times they seem super weird to people outside your family. “We always go play flag football” or “we go see whatever dumb action movie is out” aren’t on everybody’s list of things, but you can’t fault people for them. But along with stuffing yourself with turkey, potatoes, cranberry sauce, and of course, stuffing, one tradition everybody should have is to watch the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Turkey Day Marathon. That’s been a tradition since 1991 (give or take a decade in the middle there) and 2017 promises another 12-hour, six-episode feast for your brains.

Last year’s Turkey Day marathon counted down the top fan-voted episodes of all time; this year, creator Joel Hodgson is giving viewers six episodes that have never before been included in a Shout! Factory Turkey Day Marathon. And since they’ve been doing these Shout! Factory, streaming versions of the marathon for the past few years, you’re likely to see episodes you haven’t watched in quite a while. It’s good to watch some hidden gems every now and again.

The marathon begins on at 12 pm Eastern/9 am Pacific on Shout Factory TV‘s website or the Shout Factory TV app on Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire and select smart TVs and will feature specially shot new introduction segments with Hodgson and season 11 stars Jonah Ray and Felicia Day, which will whet your appetite nicely in between courses.

Granted, being super full on food isn’t always the best when you’re laughing uproariously, but when it’s bad movies riffed by a man and his robot friends, we think it’ll be a good digestive aid.

And if you don’t even feel like changing webpages, fear not! You can stream the entire thing below! Gobble gobble, everyone.
