Sky High Is America's Harry Potter - Guilty Pleasures Ep. 75

[@oliviamiller1388]

What are your feelings for Disney's 2005's Sky High that's also right now currently to watch on Disney Plus's Streaming Service?

[@radiowolf.13]

I’m so happy they mentioned the actor who played Warren Peace should have been Jacob Black! I remember watching fan made Twilight trailers back in 2007, before the trailer for the first Twilight movie came out, and people always fan casted Warren Peace as Jacob and I can’t see him any other way.

[@FlagCutie]

It took me a ridiculous amount of time to realize that Steven Strait from The Expanse was Warren Peace lol. Also, he is brilliant in The Expanse.

[@annah7793]

Also his dad’s name is Baron Battle. Like….what?

[@ChristinaGrace05]

This is so spot on hahaha

[@oliviamiller1388]

The part where the Commander, and Jetstream where both turned back into babies again from the Invension Ray Gun The Pacifier was my Favorite scene from Sky High what about yourself what's your favorite scenes?

[@Aipr609]

He said Will Powers so confidently 😂😂😂 It’s Will Stronghold

[@Mr.AimToMisbehave]

Soon to be a member of The Stronghold 3

[@oliviamiller1388]

If you can have your own personal Superhero Superpowers what would yours be mine Fire, or Wind Manipulations!

[@Mr.AimToMisbehave]

@@oliviamiller1388 I'd want to have the same power set as Jim Carey's "The Mask" as in I want to be able to use cartoon physics

[@oliviamiller1388]

Great Powers! Are you also a fan of Tom and Jerry, and also The older Original Tom and Jerry Aniamted Film?

[@Mr.AimToMisbehave]

@@oliviamiller1388 oh 1,000% I'm 34 and grew up on that stuff and the original merry melodies/loony tunes. Cartoon physics is just such a variable ability so there is so much you could do with it.

[@_previously]

5 minutes into this and I am flabbergasted that they haven’t done Scott Pilgrim vs. the World yet. Also, I’m realizing that they could put in a 1 hr video of Hippo sleeping and the crew talking in the background and I’d be just as happy xD

[@kathleenuclear]

There is nothing guilty about Scott Pilgrim but I 100% agree that we definitely need an episode on it. I could easily talk for multiple hours about every aspect of that movie.

[@animeluchia5405]

Guys! Ron Wilson *does* get powers!!! In the comic at the end we learn he gets some sort of powers from radioactive material!!!

[@strawberrymilkteaa]

Garrick thrashing Hippo around when finding out the Warren Peace pun 😭

[@writingfrk631]

this movie was a sexual awakening for me because warren peace and layla scene caused severe bi panic in young me. and felt so represented with the chinese restaurant lady spoke cantonese!!

[@Thehappytapdancer]

Hey I’m 27 and I grew up on this movie too! Also, y’all forgot to mention the freaking EPIC cover of “I Melt With You” by Bowling for Soup with the kazoos! Also we need more Jack in podcast land, but I’m bias as a professional tap dancer.

[@kathleenuclear]

The entire soundtrack is super amazing! All the 80s covers were done so well imo but I loved that BFS video and remember when Disney Channel showed it constantly!

[@MtnMama8]

I’m 31 and watched this so many times with my brother. Love this movie, honing in on my love for the dark broody boy

[@e.7372]

I'm also 31 and SAME

[@JennaLoomar]

The ending line of this movie will always remain iconic

[@withCy]

This line randomly pops in my head like once a month 😆

[@oliviamiller1388]

I loved the scene where The Commander and Jetstream were both turned back into babies again by The Pacifier Ray Gun what about you yourself? Don't you think that would be cool for to see a Aniamted DC Comics Superheroes Universe Movie where Superhero's character's like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Arrow, Zatanna, Hawkgirl, and also Black Canary are all turned back into babies again as well too maybe possibly?

[@withCy]

@@oliviamiller1388 ahh yes love this

[@kathleenuclear]

OH MY GOD I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE! SKY HIGH IS ONE OF THE SINGLE GREATEST MOVIES THAT HAS EVER BEEN MADE AND I WILL NOT HEAR OTHERWISE. IT IS A STRAIGHT EFFING PLEASURE!!!

[@Cosmo-Young]

YES YES YES ITS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES AND I WILL NEVER BACK DOWN ON THIS YES

[@horrorhaley]

Not Zach calling Kelly Preston, Lisa Marie Presley. 💀I’m assuming he thought she was Jaime Pressly.

[@movi3srock]

And then later corrects it by saying Kelly Presley instead of Preston.........only to be followed by him saying he likes that the main character's name is Will Powers....when it's Will Stronghold....Do they ever do any research whatsoever for Guilty Pleasures?

[@camilletourault1967]

@@horrorhaley No literally I came here cause I was like there's no way I'm the only one who caught this lol how hard is it to just Google the movie

[@MeredithHagan]

Especially awkward now that they’re both ☠️

[@mauricefloyd1483]

Thanks for saying that Sky High inspired MHA. When MHA debuted I literally said it was Sky High mixed with Naruto.

[@seannahrose7547]

Anyone else remember Zoom? Because there are things to be said about Tim Allen’s super abilities 😂

[@alexare6655]

I remember but when I hear "zoom" I think of "my supernova girl" lmao.

Up, Up, and Away, and also Mystery Men also as well too are pretty good Films!

[@lydiaraines2649]

Kelly PRESTON not Presley!

[@justlikeheavenx]

i will say as someone who is a millennial and about to be 29 years old this movie was DEFINITELY for our generation, idk how you guys missed it!! 2005 was the prime of our childhood, it was always a favorite of mine back in the day!

[@juliannehannes11]

Kelsey was like 19 when it came out

[@selineabanto]

“where’s sky higher” LMAOO but actually that would be a good title

[@mirandabee2323]

I heard rumors that one of the planned sequels would have had the main characters facing off against Warren's supervillain dad, Baron Battle.

[@oliviamiller1388]

They should remake the Original Disney Movie Sky High once again for us hopefully maybe possibly!

[@Abhi-wl5yt]

As a younger millenial (26yo), this movie was something I watched multiple times in my childhood. My brother and I loved this movie, but sometime in the late 2000s, they just stopped airing this. And it was not available to us anywhere. I totally forgot that this existed, until your podcast. Thank you for the nostalgia. Gotta go binge this movie with my brother soon

[@RayetheAmazing]

I'm sorry but did Zach just down grade the main character and call Will STRONGHOLD, Will Powers??? Or am I tripping? Because I remember his last name being Stronghold and think that was clever as hell when I was a kid

[@lydiaraines2649]

Yeah. Will Stronghold. Kelly Preston. Kids in the hall. He was not paying attention 😂

[@movi3srock]

Ya it was pretty ridiculous

[@itsanixela]

@@movi3srock Yeah he mixed it up with Principal Powers I guess.

[@danicacassidy1672]

Yeah it’s will stronghold I was waiting for them to correct it I was cringinggg

[@yarns8117]

its so funny hearing them talk about nicholas braun as someone who is DEEP down that rabbit hole

[@sty3459]

I was obsessed with this movie when I was younger but once I got older, I swear no one in my life remembered this movie. So glad it’s getting the appreciation it deserves!

[@oliviamiller1388]

This is one of the Greatest earlier 2000's Disney Movies made!!

[@pamlegaspi]

The amount of times I watched this movie when I was a kid is insaneeee

[@mayacatherine802]

It’s so funny the age gap between you guys. I’m 24 too and I definitely remember growing up and watching sky high. It was popular but not really lol you really had to be there I can’t imagine watching it now for the first time lol so funny

[@lydiaraines2649]

I’m 27 and I definitely grew up watching it too lol

[@jackl8025]

31 and I'd never heard of it, and I was 14 when it came out.

[@Emmysn0w]

I did the math and I was 3 when this movie came out but it was a staple for me and my sister

[@cheskaarana6097]

I'm 24 and never left the Philippines, but this is definitely one of my childhood movies.

[@funland19]

I’ll be 27 in December and my husband is 30 and we both grew up with this movie and watch it at least once a year!

[@aibakaika]

This movie is actually what introduced me to Cousin Greg so seeing him in Succession for the first time tripped me out lmao

[@mangofiends]

I remember this playing on Disney Channel all the time, it was during the time when I was starting to branch out from "kid's" tv and I loved it lol

[@oliviamiller1388]

I really loved watching The Superhero parents main Movie's Characters The Commander, and also Jetstream from this good Movie!

[@ericalove4876]

I'm so distracted by how cute and sweet baby hippo is

[@jenhuffine7030]

I’m just here to say the sketch comedy show Zach referenced is KIDS IN THE HALL! Not kids on the block, lol

[@nancythomas5387]

Caught that too. Kind of melding Kids in the Hall with New Kids on the Block. Not sure how that would work...unless that's how they got High School Musical.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

This movie was ‘High School Musical’ with less music and more superpowers. Also, great title 😂

[@FlagCutie]

Warren Peace is also in The Expanse which is freaking brilliant!!!

[@giadiana4881]

Nicholas Braun was an OG KZbinr. I used to watch him in his little comedy group around the same time Jenna marbles started. That’s why he’s so dope and we love his humor! ❤

“Nobody listens to this podcast” This is actually my favorite playlist so how dare you

[@aprilgirl4]

I saw this movie in theaters when I was 18! 😂 my friend and I were bored and it was midnight so we just went to the movie theater to see what was out. I unironically think this movie is great.

[@gabbysullivan3672]

When I was younger and watching sky high, I had the reverse of this Warren peace confusion… I thought the novel war and peace was called Warren Peace

[@YehShuhu]

I gotta agree with Rainie here i swear all the female heros awoke something in me as a child

[@mbanerjee5889]

I watched Sky High in theaters 3 times. I think it's better than most MCU or DCEU movies/shows.

[@alexismuckerman7939]

I'm sitting down for my night night smoke and I was like "oh I don't have enough time to watch a GP episode but let's at least see what it is" and now I'm staying up late to smoke more than I need to and watch this entire podcast

[@yoursmilee]

I still have the DVD of this movie. One of my absolute favourites growing up!!! So glad others had the same connection to this movie as me cause no one knew about it back then 😭😭😭

[@mei-nc2sn]

I literally have been waiting for this episode my entire life

[@kristincondupa5679]

This is one of my favorite movies from when I was in 9th grade. I still watch it religiously with my kids. Garrick comparing it to MHA is amazingly accurate because my 9 year loved MHA and Sky High!

[@kathleenuclear]

lisa marie presley????? excuse me, it's the late great KELLY PRESTON who plays jetstream!! I hate when mistakes like that are made on this podcast. edit: thank you for the semi correction, but her last name was Preston, not Presley!

[@ashlierae83]

I was gonna say the same thing... Lisa Marie??? lol

[@kathleenuclear]

@@ashlierae83 They look nothing alike so I didn't get the mixup until he said Kelly Presley later and I was like "Nope, still wrong!" I think I'd be more likely to let it slide without commenting if Kelly was still with us. ❤

[@kathleenuclear]

Zach I am begging you to take better notes and consult them more often. The Kids in the Hall are not the same thing as New Kids on the Block.

[@TaylorBishop8890]

Not to mention basic things like the names of the actors and their characters 🤣

[@movi3srock]

Like the late great Kelly Preston mistaken twice! As Lisa Marie Presley...and then Kelly Presley And then saying that he loved that the lead character's name was Will Powers...when it's Will Stronghold...🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@harlie713]

Okay, this movie is extremely special to me. I was 11/12 when this came out and I was in the states for my brother's wedding (I'm not from the US) and I made everyone in my family take me to watch this movie in theatres. No one wanted to go because all my siblings are 7+ years older than me. And I became obsessed. Also watched it anytime it came on Disney. This movie fucks and now I'm going to rewatch it. Thanks guys!

I LOST MY MIND WHEN I READ THE TITLE THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD! I work from home so I listen to the tripod as a way to feel less secluded all day!!! Made my Day!

In college, my friends and I played a drinking game to this movie!! You choose a character and anytime your character used their power..take a sip! Still a fun movie with or without the game.

[@elizabethfabio6769]

Does anyone remember Up, Up, and Away? It was before Sky High as a Disney Channel movie and they made the main character not get his powers for the whole movie.

[@kathleenuclear]

YES the scene where his best friend grabs the aluminum foil and chews it and goes "ow my filling!" has lived in my head rent free for like 20 years

[@hank_430]

This might have been the last movie I saw in the DOLLAR theatre. *insert grandpa voice* “back in the day, when movies had been out for a while, you could go and watch them for $1.” I do believe I paid $5 for it bc I’m not THAT old but damn it was fun to see in theatres, even if it was on their smallest most dingy screens lol This movie nailed the whimsey and camp of a “comic book” come to life. It just seems like all the adults were having a blast and it’s definitely a fav. It’s bright colors, over the top performance, friendship, first love, it’s a 💯 pleasure

[@kathleenuclear]

The dollar theater was my favorite place as a teen/in my early 20s. I saw so many BAD movies there but I saw so many GREAT ones too. No one cared if you snuck in a backpack full of snacks, one time my friends and I snuck in burgers and fries. THOSE WERE THE DAYS!

[@hilarygladstone6037]

My grandmother took me and my sister to this movie! It was an incredible cinematic experience for a 12 year old, and yes, I definitely had some crushes.

[@BeautyQueenMaria]

I know I saw this in theaters as a kid because I wrote about it in a family vacation journal. I love this MOVIE. It’s so good.

[@oliviamiller1388]

My Favorite part of the Movie was when both The Commander, and also Jetstream where both turned back into babies again by The Pacifier Ray and I was like I didn't see this coming but it's the Greatest Supervillain Evil Plan I've ever seen a Villain do and also very very different and also interesting very much too also as well from the Movie Sky High!
