Fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000 have been salivating over the release of this set for a long time now, primarily because it features The Crawling Eye, the first MST3K episode released to the world at large (and not just local KTMA viewers in Minnesota). While it’s interesting to see the debut, truth be told (as host Joel Hodgson explains in the bonus opening credits to The Crawling Eye) the episode is interesting more as a starting point than as a stand-alone fun fest. Thankfully, the three other movies in the set – The Beatnicks, The Blood Waters of Dr. Z and the awesome The Final Sacrifice -- are among the series’ best.
