This is a weekly updated blog, wherein I (Asterisk Dan) post reviews of episodes from the cult hit Mystery Science Theater 3000 in chronological order. So, as Dr. Erhardt would say, Enjoy!

UPDATES WILL NOT BE WEEKLY (for now)
Yeah, ol' *Dan has been pretty busy lately, so the blog is going to have to take a back seat for a while. I'll still get reviews done, but much less frequently than I would hope so. After things slow down, the blog will return to it's normal format.

204: Catalina Caper
204: Catalina Caper
A bunch of rich white kids have a good time at the beach. Treasure is involved. Antics ensue. Bad music is blared. I need an Aspirin.
Verdict: 2/4-Bad! I hate these shallow, annoying, unimaginative beach movies.
This episode used to one of my most frequently watched and stayed on my usual rounds for about a year. Coming back to it...well, Let's just say that I was not very impressed. Sure, there where some pretty decent riffs in the theater, but for the most part it's rather dull. The main problem lies within the film itself, it is nearly impossible to make comedy out of something that is already trying to be a comedy. The boys try their damnedest, but they don't quite hit the mark.
Opener: Tom and Crow pray
Inventions: The Mad's Tank Tops and Joel's Tickle Bazooka.
Seg1: Joel and the 60's
Seg2: Tom sings about the Creepy Girl
seg3: Frank's tupperware party
End: Joel makes a chart out of the film's plot.
Overall: A fine batch of host segs if you ask me! Seg 1 and 2 are probably some of my favorite moments from the season. Seg 3 was the only unimpressive one.

Verdict: I hate to do this to an episode that I have such nostalgia for, but the theater segments are nothing short of blah.
