I actually have mix feelings about this show, mainly because it doesn't represent live action effects in a very good light (the crummy werewolf mask, and the whole "Mega Spider" debacle). And its reality television, which almost never works for me, especially with a glorified annoyances like Cindy hanging about...not to mention some of the surprisingly idiotic directors.
No wonder they never make it up to the higher ranks of the movie business, like many of today's big-name directors in the genre has from their early B-movie days from the seventies and eighties.
I do admit though that I have respect for Cleve Hall, especially after finding out he does the majority of awesome monster effects on "The Aquabats! Super Show!".
Cindy's unrealistic bitching aside (Thirteen hours late? Really?), I enjoyed this "Devoman vs. Clevezilla" episode far more than I was originally expecting. And I'm amazed that were able to do a better job on these three monster suites (the Devo robot men collectively as one) in one week, and that they all came off better looking than the horror movie tripe they've been given more time to work on in the past.
Either some real love and care went into this particular build, OR Devo has deeper wallets than the other clients of past episodes...or both.
Guess All of the Above Monsters' Names and Respective Places of Origin and Win a Prize!
