There's good news for bad movie lovers: In the not too distant future, the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Turkey Day Marathon will make its return.

Joel Hodgson and crew resurrected the celebration of all things schlock last year as a streaming event. It's coming back to YouTube this year with a new slate of handpicked episodes. These will feature new introductions from Hodgson, who hosted the show from its 1988 inception on cable access television until 1993, when writer Mike Nelson boarded the Satellite of Love in his place.

The series skewered the cinematic bottom of the barrel, dredging up Z-grade detritus and subjecting it to a litany of jokes from Hodgson and two robot compatriots. The cult favorite introduced wider audiences to such Oscar near-misses as Manos: the Hands of Fate, the giant turtle mayhem movies of the Gamera franchise, Pumaman, and any number of other films that made Ed Wood look like Orson Welles.

The slate of episodes for this year's festivities has yet to be revealed, but the selection of six episodes for the 12-hour marathon is sure to delight. Last year's festivities featured Space Mutiny, I Accuse My Parents, Werewolf, Cave Dwellers, The Final Sacrifice (Rowsdower, Rowsdower …) and Mitchell.

So get your Roku fired up for the big day. These turkeys come well-done.
