It would be something neat to see some lesser celebrated/featured episodes in the mix to add some flavor and novelty to the proceedings.
I mentioned before how neat it was that Danger!! Death Ray was featured one year, but for some other examples, Lost Continent was incorporated one year, and that was a really nice surprise.
Another year, featured titles included Moon Zero Two, Bloodlust!, and Samson Vs. the Vampire Women, and I don’t think anyone saw those episodes coming, which was nifty.
For the scene of Hugh Beaumont losing his head with laughter in the background while Sid Melton is getting pulled up the mountain by his butt alone, that episode should be enshrined.
I always thought it was until I started playing in more MYSTie circles and it was never brought up. And we did time it once, the rock climbing goes on for more than 30 minutes. (even the soundtrack gave up. )
I agree it would be great to see some off the beaten path episodes.
Part of my joy of Turkey Day was not “knowing” which episodes might play. I don’t mean you couldn’t find out the episodes that were going to play that year.
As mentioned, we’ve gotten to a place where it often feels like certain episodes will probably be in the rotation. Not a bad thing, but I really enjoyed the days when I’d be surprised to see things like “The unearthly”, “Teenagers from outer space”, “King Dinosaur”, “daddy-o”, “ring of terror”, war of the colossal beast", or “Hercules Unchained” in the rotation.
Variety is the spice of life… and he who controls the spice, controls the Alternaverse.
yeah that’s the one I was looking through, but I’d like to have a list of eps all on one page, rather than having to click links and go back and forth between pages.
EDIT - I’m working on something, post it soon.
And here it is, for reference - a list for them all, then a list for those not shown, and one for those shown… Master List of Turkey Day Episodes:
If we can’t stream the turkeys from Riding with Death, I’d happily settle for the good and beautiful floating chicken nuggets of Phantom Planet. Whatever we end up getting, I’m excited!
