The Worst We Can Find is a comprehensive history of and guide to MST3K and its various offshoots-including Rifftrax, Cinematic Titanic, and The Mads Are Back-whose lean crew of writers, performers, and puppeteers have now been making fun of movies for over thirty years. It investigates how "riffing" of films evolved, recounts the history of these programs, and considers how a practice guaranteed to annoy real-life fellow moviegoers grew into such a beloved, long-lasting franchise. As author Dale Sherman explains, creative heckling has been around forever-but MST3K and its progeny managed to redirect that art into a style that was both affectionate and cutting, winning the devotion of countless fans and aspiring riffers.

It took Dale Sherman until the Catalina Caper episode of MST3K in 1990 to become a fan, but he has been a dedicated one ever since. A researcher and collector of comedy, music, and movies, Dale has written books on such topics as KISS, MASH, "End of the World" movies, and biographies about Mel Brooks, John Waters, and Quentin Tarantino. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky, with his wife, daughter, and too many videos, books, movie posters, and pets.
