It’s a slog to get through bad movies. If you’ve ever tried to have a marathon of sub-par cinema with your friends, you know it can be tough to keep the laughs coming when you reach number five, six, 18 (I don’t know how long you go!). This is why it’s so nice to have the crew of the Satellite of Love to guide you through crappy flicks with their patented brand of rapid fire jokery. But on this season of Mystery Science Theater 3000, even they will reach fatigue as the metanarrative of “The Gauntlet” forces Jonah, Tom Servo, and Crow T. Robot to riff six movies…without stopping!
So there we have it! A good and very Mystery Science Theater mix of movies: two infamous weirdos, a couple by American low-budget masters, and a couple crappy Italian exploitation movies. A well-balanced meal for Thanksgiving.That’s right! This season of Mystery Science Theater 3000 drops on Turkey Day, November 22, which also happens to be the show’s exact 30th anniversary! It all makes sense now!
