It's an early Mike episode, so join us for Beginning of the End as we tip over into the beginning of the end of our MST3K journey! We're officially over the half-way point with what's available (not counting Rifftrax), so we've hit that milestone! And what a movie to hit it with, oof.

Host segments: Shakin' trees; dealing with large insects; Peter Graves' TED Talk; telling Joe the hard truths about sport peppers; It's energy, right?; Just locust things.; It's always a d**k!; Wayne and Garth vs. the Locusts.
