Forced by evil scientists to watch bad "B" movies until he breaks, a host and a bunch of captive robots comment on the films to keep sane. During each movie, the host and robots perform skits or songs, known as host segments, that are usually related to that episode's film.

It's always a treat when a riff spirals into an in-theater running gag, and this one is the most delirious of such treats. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 04/23/2020

The episodes where Mike took over were willing to get a little nasty. That doesn't make the Time Chasers episode any less funny, simply because the film is so committed to its premise, no matter how inept its script may be. Go to Full Review Austin Trunick Under the Radar 05/14/2018
The monster looks kind of like the creature from the black lagoon, but with breasts-because, y'know, it's a she-creature... [and] there are quite a few slow, talky stretches that really bring down the pace. Go to Full Review Jim Vorel Paste Magazine 05/12/2018
I could happily watch it without riffing, but with the MST3k treatment it becomes transcendent... there isn't a single slow moment in Time Chasers. Go to Full Review Gavin Jasper Den of Geek 05/10/2018
