I really love Mystery Science Theater 3000. I love the episodes where (original host) Joel Hodgson hosted it, I love the episodes where Mike Nelson hosted it, and I love the episodes where Jonah Ray hosted it. I love the Turkey Day marathons. I was too young to watch them when they actually aired on Comedy Central and, later, Sci-Fi channel, but I’ve been enjoying them since Shout TV resurrected them a few years ago. So the idea of the newest season of the show, subtitled The Gauntlet, premiering on Thanksgiving was one that was immediately appealing to me. What could be better than eating Thanksgiving dinner and watching some cheesy movies being made fun of by a man and his robot friends? Answer: very little, because The Gauntlet is an excellent season of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
After her failed stunt-marriage to Jonah Heston (Jonah Ray), mad scientist Kinga Forrester (Felicia Day), and her sidekick Max (Patton Oswalt), decide to subject Jonah, Crow (Hampton Yount), and Tom Servo (Baron Vaughn) to a six-movie marathon she’s calling The Gauntlet.
