Beginning Of The End

With a title like that, one would almost believe that Beginning of the End has something important to say. Spoiler alert: It doesn’t. “The end” comes in the form of gigantic grasshoppers, formed by an unholy alliance of radiation and Peter Graves. As the nuclear grasshoppers attack first townsfolk, then the United States Army, and finally the city of Chicago, it’s a race against the clock to figure out how to defeat the insects without resorting to bombing Chicago. Thankfully, this particular disaster was also addressed by the boys of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and so was saved from a fate worse than locusts.
