Soylent Green reference

In the new Thanksgiving episode, where Gobbles and the other turkeys are dumped into the slaughter house, they play a nature movie with classical music for the doomed turkeys similar to the 1973 film, Soylent Green, where Edward G. Robinson (in his final film role) is slowly euthanized as he watches a nature film with classical music and is later (spoiler coming up; if you haven't seen the film then please don't read anymore), along with others, turned into the food substitute, Soylent Green.

I THOUGHT THAT TOO!! I was waiting for the room to become bathed in orange light. Wasn't the suicide place in that movie called "Home"?

That was Edward G. Robinson???? God my memory has played some major telephone with itself since I've seen that movie, I could have sworn it was Grandpa Joe (ARGH! what is that actor's name?) from Willie Wonka who played Charlton Heston's father.

Jack something...
