This Mystery Science Theater 3000 Holiday Special Needs Not One But Three Hosts

Enter the Gizmoplex on December 16 for a special Mystery Science Theater 3000 holiday movie that requires the expertise of three hosts. Original host Joel Hodgson will be joined by Jonah Ray, and Emily Marsh as well as two sets of robots. The Satellite of Love is getting in the holiday spirit with the film The Christmas Dragon, a movie about a group of precocious orphans trying to save Father Christmas. But the orphans aren’t the only ones trying to pull off their schemes. Our host heroes have cooked up an escape plan of their own to escape the clutches of Kinga Forrester forever. Can they succeed?

This should be everything MST3K fans could want in a holiday special. I’m excited to see all the hosts riffing together. The movie itself really sounds like… it was made. I’m including the movie poster and trailer below because it is not at all what I expected from the description. I’m going to be fair to it and say that the special effects are a better quality than I am accustomed to seeing from MST3K movies. But it looks like this was a pitch for a How to Train Your Dragon holiday special that got rejected. I’m not even saying that in a disparaging way, I love watching movies like this and I’m always happy to find new gems like this.

Looks like a perfect awesomely bad movie to riff. You can catch the live stream premiere on December 16 at 8 PM ET/ 5 PM PT only at the Gizmoplex.
