Just out of curiosity, if you were tasked with programming your own six episode Turkey Day marathon, which six would you pick? I think I’d go with:

Pod People
Eegah!
Mitchell
San Francisco International
Time Chasers
Cry Wilderness

it's pronounced MITCHELL.

Do you find something comical about my appearance when I'm driving my automobile?
Start at the beginning. Watch it grow from a local TV show to a beloved cable program to one that multiple networks picked up only to not really want it to cult phenom brought back by Netflix.

That's what? Like 300 hours of content?

This is where I started. It was good to start with them riffing a movie I had already seen.

Underdog pick of Killer Shrews for an introduction. Great short, dumb, but perfectly riffable movie.

Didn't have cable growing up, so my gateway was half of Cave Dwellers, and then half of Pod People on The Mystery Science Theater Hour.

It was confusing, but I was hooked.

On Season 12 - I am kinda worried about the most recent movie picked. That might be a real struggle.

Personal minor disappointment on the Netflix seasons - Lack of Capers, Spies, Teensploitation, or anything black and white.

Clint Eastwood pops up for a few seconds in Revenge of the Creature, and I Was A Teenage Werewolf starred Michael Landon.

And Leonard Maltin himself showed up in an episode near the end of the original run.

Do I need to rewatch it to figure out how the guy bought the North Pole in the first place? DID SANTA SELL IT?!

Eddie Cochran as well. He appeared in a movie in season one. He was an early rock musician.

He died tragically young, and he had some popular songs like Summertime Blues. Paul McCartney knew how to play one of his songs, and that's why John Lennon invited him to play in his band.

So yeah, he also helped formed the Beatles, in a roundabout way.

I think Santa explains that a local tribe was letting him live there rent-free, but then Prune bought the land from them.

Inframan is an obvious choice given the skeleton guys. Mighty Peking Man too. As much as I love Shaw kung fu movies I don't know if that genre works for riffing. What can you say over a 5 minute fight scene?

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that Lloyd Bridges and Beau Bridges are the only father and son to both have appeared in movies featured on MST3K: Lloyd in "Rocketship X-M" and Beau in "Valley of the Giants".
