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<p>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<p>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<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Gauntlet | Official Trailer [HD] | Netflix\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WdBCpnqFNew?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, I think this is the first time that the full season\u2019s slate of movies has been revealed before airing.
