Viewing Notes

It was great revisiting this. I love all the homages to classic monsters and sci-fi creatures. Rogen steals the show as B.O.B. but it’s just a really fun film overall. I love that they worked in a Wilhelm scream too. Also, on the deleted scenes extras, there’s a great pre-vis scene that riffs on the Leroy Jenkins meme, which is great! Too bad that didn’t make it into the final film.
