MST3K 813: Jack Frost

My trip through the "Russo-Finnish troika" of Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes has come to an end, with the show that was made after the "troika" was named in the official episode guide. Perhaps, as "Jack Frost" got under way, I was wondering if the experience felt a little different in the first season of the "Sci-Fi Channel" era than it had before. As well, given that "The Sword and the Dragon" had felt more "epic" to me than "The Magic Voyage of Sinbad," which in turn had felt more "epic" than "The Day the Earth Froze," "Jack Frost" did seem to be on a somewhat smaller scale than any of the three movies before it. However, as the movie rolled on it grew more and more entertaining in a ridiculous sort of way, and given the season I chose to watch these episodes in, it's sort of fun for a good part of it to be set in actual winter.
