Review

In
1991, a phenom raced across cable access to become one of the
most beloved and copied Cult Classic favorites to ever grace that
medium. Written, produced, directed and starred in by Sheena herself,
Sheena Metal's Freakin' Rock Review was syndicated to
15 different cable stations around the country. The show was sponsored
by Pizza Hut, Western Bagel, and Tommy Burger, amongst other major
vendors.
Sheena
Metal played 18 different characters on the TV show, spawning
a live one-woman show that highlighted such characters as the
psychotic clown named Maggie, Cousin Lupe Esparza
(whose little brother was run over by the Sparklett's truck),
fanatical minister Reverend Jean Rot, and many more.

Much
like The Monkeys, Sheena
Metal's Freakin' Rock Review spawned a live Parody
Hard Rock band called Sheena Metal's Beer Bong,
one of LA hottest drawing bands in the early nineties.
Former
Beer Bong character "Layfette", Guitarist
Paul Houston, is currently with pop band Pope
Jane.
Magazines
such as Details and Dramalogue featured Sheena
Metal's Freakin' Rock Review. The show was the most
successful cult cable access show in LA history, with clips
from the show being used in other programming today. Sheena
Metal herself spun off into a successful career in talk
radio, film, and TV.

A
little known fact, Sheena's name is not really Sheena Metal. The
name "Sheena Metal" came from the character she created
for the TV show, and it has stuck with her. You can find Sheena
on IMDb under her real name, Jenny Sherwin.
