Spy Kids Scarred A Generation | Guilty Pleasures Ep. 103

[@guiltypleasures6975]

Hi Hi! It seems like some listeners are hearing a weird reverb effect on certain parts of the episode! It's not showing up in our original files, so we think it might be an encoding/exporting issue. If you hear the weirdness can you drop some timecodes so we can attempt a fix? Thanks for listening Guilty Wh*res!!!

[@yarns8117]

At around 25:00 im hearing a little bit of it on kelsey i think :)

[@Jah_LEASE_yah]

For me it started around 20:18-20:19 On Kelsey and gets worse when she is talking with her mouth slightly away from the mic.

[@kurshid7866]

27:13

[@AnGeliKJ]

Kelsey's mic 20:07 & 20:18

[@anushdilanyan2717]

Kelsey starting around 20:07 and happening on and off throughout

[@ticktockbother6]

As a kid with a Hispanic dad and white mom with red hair, this film was the only time I ever saw myself on screen. My younger brother went as Carmen and Juni for multiple Halloweens. It’s still one of my favorite films.

[@alisazamora]

me too!!!!

[@bubbletea9111]

My dad is also Hispanic and my mom is white but we don't have red hair. But I still saw my family resembled for the first time in this movie and felt so understood

[@jengatowerrs]

ME TOOOO!!!!!

[@ambriaashley3383]

That is the exact same family dynamic as my childhood friend! I’m glad so many people can feel represented in this film ❤

[@cryptiddmashups]

You guys now have an obligation to cover Sharkboy and Lavagirl, one of my favorite “so bad its good” movies out there

[@Jena_McLean]

the moustache thing is so real. My dad had a moustache my entire life, then one summer I went to girl guide camp for a week and he shaved his stache when his work raised a certain amount of money for cancer research. I literally didn’t recognize him when he came to pick me up; he had to walk up to me and go “it’s me, your father.”

[@peacechickification]

My dad tells this story of when my older sister was a toddler, and he had to shave the beard he had had for her whole life. She shaved it with her in the bathroom, and did the whole thing with her with a popsicle stick as well. She left the bathroom before he did (but after the beard was off), and when he walked out into the living room my sister had an absolute meltdown cause she didn’t think it was dad.

[@angiealpizar8508]

I remember walking out of the theater after seeing this movie and being PHYSICALLY PAINED that my mother was not a spy

[@MuthrOfCorb]

I have to add for Latine viewers this movie meant so much to us. ESPECIALLY seeing this as kids. Representation matters! ❤️❤️

[@neivilde.1242]

I love these movies so much. I just love the fact that when Robert Rodriguez made them, it was fully for his kids. Like he doesn’t make movies to sell toys, he made movies for kids to love and enjoy. The spy kids franchise, shark boy and lava girl, and the one i never see anyone talking about but that i had on loop in my house, shorts, where his actual son was in, these movies were absolutely my everything. And i have all the dvds still. Like there are just certain things from them engraved in my brain for ever that have shaped me. Robert Rodriguez is truly a marvel

[@FlagCutie]

I thought it was so cute when I learned that he made them for his kids! This wasn't one of our repeats, but if we caught it while channel flipping, my brother and I would automatically just stop on it and finish it.

[@kathleenuclear]

He is such a versatile and visionary filmmaker. It takes a real talent to be able to make movies for kids AND movies that are VERY MUCH NOT for kids, but they feel like the same universe always. He's done a great job of creating a universe with something for everyone, and I also love that some of the ideas came from his kids themselves. It must've been so cool as a kid to see their dad bring their ideas and dreams to life!

[@cael_aj]

I've never even heard of Shorts and I'm upset about it. It's not available to stream anywhere so I'm probably gonna have to buy it now.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

The fact that this wasn’t covered before is shocking. However, better late than never. My favourite fact about this is that Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara have had intense discussions about ‘Spy Kids’

[@jackiedelaney7632]

We NEED an episode about sharkboy and lavagirl!!!

[@kathleenuclear]

YES

[@adrienned3621]

The reaction to “white heaving breasts” and “heavy naturals” is the funniest shit ever

[@kathleenuclear]

Daryl and Meghan are really really cute, and so is their baby Riley. I love that Daryl and Alexa are still so close as adults. She married Carlos from Big Time Rush and their babies are so cute too, and just imagining their Spy Kids as Adults double dates makes my heart so happy.

[@camillerosette]

i was SO worried you would hate it..2 minutes in gerrick is all ‘best movie EVER’ and just thank god. this movie ISSS my childhood & ill stand by it forever

[@FlagCutie]

"This is random. He f*cks?" Kelsey that was my exact reaction when I learned him and Meghan Trainor had a kid 😂

[@kathleenuclear]

Have you ever seen the pic of them leaving an adult toy store? He has on toe shoes!! But I love their attitude about the public's reaction to that picture, because they're able to laugh at it and themselves.

[@FlagCutie]

@@kathleenuclear No I haven't lol. Because of the popularity of some of her songs on tiktok, I will randomly get little clips of them and their kid and they look so happy and adjusted!

[@syddaani]

The best film ever made. Period. You watch this film and you can tell everyone was having fun and actually put their all into it despite it being a kids movie. It has so much heart. Also, how can you guys forget Floop's iconic line: "I snap my fingers... and my fingers snap you". Quality!

[@kianasoeung2791]

Love that Garrick’s pleasure of the week was AoT😌😌

[@mariavarela713]

bro when i tell you this movie made my little mexican heart SO happy when i was a kid 😭😭 honestly like my family would rewatch all the movies all the time and each time i was just genuinely filled with joy and it probably played a really big role in who i wanted to be

[@Jah_LEASE_yah]

Robert Rodriquez has a certain aesthetic and personality in all his movies that is recognizable in a way that you know all his movies are from him, not unlike Baz Luhrman or Tarantino and I love it. Love all of his movies. From Dusk till Dawn should be another episode especially since Garrick and Kelsey have never seen it.

[@meagansmith269]

I would love to see you guys do an episode on A Knight's Tale!

[@kimmehkinzz]

One of my favourite movies of all time! Awesome suggestion! ☺️

[@rociosegura6091]

I love how child like Garrick's response to Juni calling her sister "gross" was. He went like "haha, nice"

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Antonio Banderas has aged like fine wine ❤

[@emyleestrubel35]

The second of silence before the roar of laughter after Zach said “white heaving breasts” I’m dead

[@tayloroo]

I just want to give props to y'all for your power... Every time I see a new episode has dropped, I find that movie on streaming and watch it first so I can really relate to the convo. Haven't seen spy kids in ages, but I'm 30 minutes in and I regret nothing

[@lindseymulcahy7114]

Where is it steaming? i couldnt find it!

[@tayloroo]

​@@lindseymulcahy7114 had to rent this one unfortunately but it was on sale for $2.49 on Amazon and I couldn't say no to a sale haha

[@soylillie]

I started listening to the pod, paused and went to Amazon to watch Spy Kids, and now I’m back. The movie holds up SO WELL and hits home being Latina. 🥰

[@natashamia7]

That’s where “shiitake mushrooms” came from 😮🤯

[@mangofiends]

For the OSS it's Organization of Super Spies and Brie Larson is NOT a nepo baby, she has just been climbing the Hollywood ladder with talent and sheer will. I love her so much

[@jesistuvek3692]

I need you all to review all the Spy Kids movies!! Steve Buscemi in Spy Kids 2 has one of my favorite movie lines of all time that is so deep and out of place for that movie

[@gissellelora3972]

SHOUT-OUT is Garrick for having Attack on Titans as his pleasures (he had the best description of that show) SPY KIDS WAS MY CHILDHOOD. Can't wait for you guys to do the one with Jessica Alba

[@sabrinaalamo8203]

Zach shouting out Fat Ham just made all the theatre nerds so happy ❤️❤️❤️

[@bigtimednp]

Alexa Vega goes by Alexa PenaVega now. She’s married to Carlos PenaVega (about 10 years) who’s in Big Time Rush and they have done movies and written books together. Carlos and Alexa have three adorable children 😊

[@kathleenuclear]

Their kids really are just so so so cute! And I love their friendship with Daryl and Meghan, you can tell they're genuinely close and have a special bond.

[@ambriaashley3383]

I was such a big fan of Alexa growing up, then found out she was a conservative Republican lol

[@oatmilkgirly]

omg one other comment about Alexa being married to Carlos from BTR

[@alex1smay]

I NEEEEEEEED a "heavy naturals" shirt like yesterday

[@camillerosette]

ugh and kelsey with giovanni’s room!!! SUCH a good & sad book, did kinda change my life…. happy for you! baldwin is an amazing writer..and yes it really is like a movie-book!! love you guys anywayy!

[@pheenix135]

I feel like Guilty Pleasures needs to do Repo! The Genetic Opera. Alexa Vega all grown up and its batshit bonkers. Its a gory musical that feels like a fever dream.

[@kisibye3553]

THIS THIS THIS!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 UPVOTE IT. BUMP IT! DO WHAT YOU MUST! THEY MUST WATCH THIS MOVIE 😂

[@TheShauNanigans]

I commented this as well, but should have known it had already been said. It is such an excellent movie. From the vocals to the story to the casting. It is all excellent.

[@carlaviz6605]

Yes! I love that movie! But it is kind of terrible haha. And Paris Hilton's face falls off!

[@TheShauNanigans]

@@carlaviz6605 Don't spoil one of the best parts!

[@TheShauNanigans]

@@carlaviz6605 Maybe I need to rewatch it, but I didn't think it was terrible. I found the story extremely interesting and well done.

[@FlagCutie]

As a big Marvel nerd with a younger brother who's been an anime nerd for a few years, I totally agree with you Zach about anime. I haven't gotten into it, but just the pure wealth of material would be very lucrative.

[@santibhav4927]

Garrick talking abt AOT is sooo dope😎

[@cutepiku]

As an anime fan basically my whole life, I need Garrick to watch some Satoshi Kon films if he wants to see some real masterclasses of story telling. Perfect Blue and Tokyo Godfathers particularly, but Paprika and Millennium Actress as well. I implore you, Garrick.

[@0104brit]

When they put in that popcorn package in the microwave and it turned into a McDonald's Big Mac Meal.....My 8 year old self got soo excited!!! 😁 😋

[@Chiggianya]

First spy kids is legendary obviously but spy kids 2 is my FAVE out of the three

[@EmeraldCDoha]

finally, a movie that’s actually nostalgic for me!! i don’t think that’s ever happened for me lol (other than twilight & hunger games which technically doesn’t count cause I only consumed the books as a kid)

[@AFTALonzo]

Our microwave died this week and I literally was joking with the Lowes salesgirl about how we should have SpyKids-level microwaves on the market by now

[@cael_aj]

I'm glad you recognize Spy Kids as the masterpiece it is. Would love to see a video on the 2nd and 3rd movies too!

[@lbierman21]

Robert Rodriguez--the family friendly Quentin Tarrantino-"Eric Striffler"

[@hp6964]

Even as a kid, I understood how good of a movie they are❤️. I’d watch them every time I could on tv

[@terneh23]

Starting a counter for the number of times an episode title is stated and is not the episode title 😂

[@sarahm8657]

This is great and now I definitely need to hear you talk about the second one too! Both are honestly iconic

[@rachelanderson7841]

This film was a staple of my childhood. We still have the VHS on a shelf outside my bedroom.

[@aerocherrypie]

Could not agree more, watching Spy Kids is such a core memory for me. Since y'all are already on the Alexa Vega train, I still am desperate for your takes on her iconic role in Repo! The Genetic Opera. It's a bad musical and I already know that's in your wheelhouse! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 #guiltywhore4life

[@wwx-lwj-ai-ni]

The convo topics in this episode reminded me of three movies that would be amazing for this show: 1. Spy (with Melissa McCarthy) 2. Galaxy Quest (Tony Shaloub) 3. Eurovision (Rachel McAdams)

[@FramesPerSecond]

It’s funny because if you know Banderas from his Almodovar films which is where he started. He played a lot of creeps and weirdos.

[@anabundanceofsarcasm]

I'm a 4th grade teacher and Spy Kids has become one of my favorite movies to show for Fun Friday time. Usually 2 students max have seen it (and have to promise to not spoil it). Even though the title tells it all, they almost forget as the movie starts, a few start getting impatient for something to happen. Then when the parents log into their spy network they're just 😮 and by the time the red alert goes off they're hooked. It's so fun seeing their reactions for the rest of the movie and they always get annoyed when Fun Friday ends and we need to go to lunch.

[@Jumblebelle]

Haven’t watched this film in 20 years but I still remember the video of the mutant guys played backward singing “help us”

[@enterusernamehere123]

Haven't started listening to this one yet but I'm SUPER intrigued by the title. I LOVED Spy Kids and was so obsessed with the film series, I'm shocked anyone would find it scarring ?????

[@ankitamenon8780]

Ik yall are like 15 yrs older than me but still, I was raised on this movie too! Its timeless

[@Lord__Soul]

This movie is responsible for my irrational fear of warts. I was so scared of getting warts as a kid and it’s probably why I’m not comfortable around frogs

[@Imbatmn57]

I loved the tech in this movie, especially the big mac scene. Things like mr magoriums wonder imporium,james and the giant peach,spy kids,shark boy and lava girl,and jim carrey's grinch were my childhood. Movies used to actually use props to build the environment and i miss that.

[@allymets5]

If you do Rachel McAdams month and you don’t do About Time, then I’m just gonna cry myself to sleep.

[@nanichdz]

I love hearing Zach talk about his future spanish speaking kids. ❤

[@JennaLoomar]

Watching this movie high is always the best idea

[@dxangelos]

just got here to comment on the my pleasure segment. i love how all of you are on your ✨cultured✨eras and would argue that garrick is the most cultured of you all (as per usual) thanks for another bunch of amazing recs 💜

[@Kehearn1010]

I live in Florida and Kelsey’s comment “flor-idiot” is the best thing I’ve ever heard 😂😂

[@emilyl1744]

I had a wart as a child and trying to surgically remove it yourself is so real

[@radiowolf.13]

I’m gonna throw my suggestion in the ring for best starter anime, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. It’s got pretty much all the appeals that Naruto has, at just a fraction of the overall length.

[@captjames19]

The TITLE bahaha but seriously though, this film scared me as a kid lmao what a trip!

[@courtini19]

I loved this movie so much as a kid, I made my own Carmen costume for Halloween that same year. So glad ya'll did this one

[@ashwhydoyoucare7927]

I named my dog Machette after Danny's Machette who came from Spy kids. That's how much I loved this movie growing up.

[@Chantaya]

I'm so glad you mentioned the rehydrator gadget because to this day I also NEED that. I've watched this movie so many times in my life. It doesn't get brought up on those Twitter greatest kids movies discussions enough for my liking.

[@anonymixx8106]

Heavy naturals is absolutely sending me

[@anonymixx8106]

Y'all HAVE HAVE HAVE TO DO THE SEQUELS THEY'RE WILD

[@celineee6414]

Omg I NEED you to do Mr. And Mrs Smith bc it is my BIGGEST guilty pleasure movie of all time! ❤❤❤❤

[@emmshelley]

Juni straight up regulated warts for me. Appreciate it, King 🤴 Also, perfect episode for my 30th birthday - hit us with that nostalgia

[@emilyspitsberg7151]

HEAVY NATURALS! I am deceased. Thank you forever.

[@Anna-B]

Love this movie! I’m glad you’re doing it

[@rheafuhrman5291]

OMG I just watched Spy Kids this weekend and was like.. Guilty Pleasures needs to do this haha!

[@saydeephe]

currently pulling up spy kids to watch while this plays bc this is giving me nostalgia

[@captjames19]

Campaign for “Heavy Naturals” tshirt 🤣

[@avsambart]

I remember watching Spy Kids 3 and absolutely SCREAMING when Elijah Wood appeared because I was already a giant LOTR fan when I finally got around to this series. Also Alexa Vega, my lil 12/13 year old heart was IN LOVE. I did NOT just hear Shark Slander. They're BEAUTIFUL.

[@rileygalloway9128]

loved the lil aot breakdown and appreciation at the end

[@nataliep856]

YES let’s go THEE greatest movie of all time

[@dramafreakm2]

Y'all should do an episode on Repo: The Genetic Opera. Alexa Vega is in it and sings so wonderfully!

[@HistorianwithaCat]

This movie was my entire personality as a kid. I swear I almost burnt a hole into the vhs tape.

[@marie-christinelord6433]

Currently reading Giovanni's room! Go Kelsey!

[@missmollybruton]

The first 2 Spy Kids movies - perfection. After that...we don't speak of it

[@gabiayad1266]

Now y'all need to cover Spy Kids 2 and Repo! The Genetic Opera

[@AChilly]

I still say to this day, unironically, Spy Kids is the best trilogy ever made.

[@michellerondon6837]

Yall gotta do 2 and 3 now !! You have too ! Love this !

[@maritzai0322]

Yall talking about Alexa Vega.. I need you to watch From Prada to Nada lol

[@danielleconner424]

OK and the mcdonalds toys that went along with the movie slapped

[@hanad1548]

i watched spy kids so many times as a kid i'm so excited y'all are talking about it

[@sheilar8804]

Yes!!!! Zach learn that beautiful language!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@abileger7922]

I had a disk that I would play on the TV of Mister magorium's wonder emporium so much. That is completely destroyed now. It was my all time favorite movie growing up besides Annie.❤ 9:41

[@Itwillchangeagain]

Sooo no one's gonna mention their safe house was a child's dream. A microwave that can make a McDonald's burger and fries!

[@maddybordner8122]

Impeccable timing you guys

[@cristinasantana6602]

this podcast makes me want to watch these movies

[@MNLeBlanc96]

About 29 minutes when they talk about the den of sharks - I DO NOT remember this scene growing up. I've seen these movies hundreds of times and saw the shark scene once a few years ago when I rewatched and was ????? Wild.

[@faithmccready7116]

In honor of Shaloub, y'all should watch Galaxy Quest.

[@EvWuzhere]

Imo the only thing up there w the shiitake mushrooms line in terms of inpact was that orbit gum commercial where they said shut the front door

[@Makaybailey99]

OK I’m really hoping y’all do the second and third ones and of course the Netflix reboot. But if you also want can’t be spy definitely watch agent Cody Banks. Also another personal pleasure that would be good for another Stanley Tucci feature would be Burlesque. It has a stacked cast!!

[@TheShauNanigans]

If you want a guilty pleasure Alexa Vega movie... have you seen Repo! The Genetic Opera? It's pretty epic and also features Paris Hilton. The music and talented vocalists in that movie are top notch, and the story is also extremely captivating.

[@RaeaSunshine]

I didn't wanna think about the thumbs like that, I'm scarred

[@oatmilkgirly]

How was the fun fact of Alexa PenaVega now being married to a member of Big Time Rush not come up once

[@lovelylauriie]

I agree with the AOT comment. It's not for the faint of heart. And I love it.

[@carbajalgabriela20]

Please do Once Upon a Time in Mexico!! Also directed and written by Robert Rodriguez
