Mystery Science theater 300<\/em> and Thanksgiving have a fine tradition, going all the way to the show\u2019s very first airing as a local produced TV series on Minneapolis\u2019s KTMA. Of course, the Turkey Day marathons from the series\u2019 run on Comedy Central are the stuff(ing) of legend, a tradition that was revived more recently thanks to online streaming.<\/p>\n

And now, in a new twist on a holiday favorite, because there\u2019s no tradition like a new tradition, Netflix is dropping the entire season of the series on Thanksgiving. <\/p>\n

The newly released trailer for the new season, teases some a new torture that the Mads have cooked up for poor Jonah and the bots \u2013 something called The Gauntlet. Apparently, rather than being just subjected to a bad movie every now and then, they will be forced to sit through six cinematic stinkers in a row. (I think it is fair to say that there is a little bit of a tweaking of Netflix\u2019s nose and the concept of binge watching here.)<\/p>\n
