"Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created?" is actually one of the best movie quotes of all time - thanks Steve Buscemi

Steve Buscemi was the best part, and takes this silly kids' movie seriously. He even says the line "Do you think that God stays in Heaven" with a straight face, a commendable feat!

How Gerty didn't end up suffering from traction alopecia from those helicopter pigtails is the most unrealistic part of the movie for me.

I remember that I appreciated the fact that the first two parts were incredibly stylish and fashionable for early 2000s. I wanted to have those clothes that Carmen wore - they had kinda badass vibes. And the fact that most colours in the first two parts were black/red/brown but not Disney-ish bright blue/pink/green made this movie look more serious and "for adults". All the gadgets looked real because of the design and when I was a child and I played X-files with my friends, I imagined real guns and scary monsters that could kill us any minute. And Robert Rodriguez seemed to take kids seriously but at the same time he found a way to make it silly and funny for his viewers. I remember being disappointed and irritated by many kids movies in my childhood because at some point you start to feel as if those movies see morons and idiots in kids. Robert Rodriguez managed to avoid that.

I loved this as a kid. The story didn't made much sense event then but like... The gadgets were super cool and the effects looked much better then. The idea of having a secret tree house that was basically a batcave where you could play around with your friends was a lot of fun.

the thing about Robert Rodriguez movies is that they were just kids movies. they weren't "fun for the whole family" where they add a bunch of "jokes for the adults". they were just movies where they did as much cool shit as they could in a very childlike manner and I think that's kind of what makes them as great as they are. They're dumb kids movies made to be cool to kids, and they don't try to be anything else

4:07 I think the reason Juni was so bland and calm during this conversation was because if he raised his voice at her, she would've gotten upset and possibly made the situation worse

Spy kids gave me fever dreams as a kid. I also think these types of movies may have been partly to blame for the fact that I can't track the plot in a lot of movies as an adult since I apparently learned as a kid that the plot is not followable anyway

Spy kids 3 was the most confusing/ hilarious movie ever. It made little sense, like when they went surfing on lava. But as a kid it was so fun to watch.

I love how all of us including Alex have had existential crisis’ over that “God stays in heaven” line 💀💀

12:25 "I have been falling for 30 minutes!"

Emily Joel Osment's pigtails wigging out has been a scene that has lived rent-free in my brain since childhood, and your reaction to that was perfect, lol! XD

It’s nice to rewatch a movie with Alex’s narration and criticism. You never realize how ridiculous a movie is when you’re just a kid watching.

Fun fact: Spy Kids 2 is the only installment of the 2001-03 'Spy Kids' trilogy, in which George Clooney doesn't have a cameo in.

I gotta say, I always loved all the spy kids movies for how entertaining and funny they were for me as a kid, and while I remember scenes and moments, I couldn’t recall ANYTHING from the main plot for most of them even if my life depended on it.

I watched the 2nd Spy Kids movie an absurd amount of times back in the day, even long after I was the target age demographic. I think I found it more interesting of a concept. The plot makes less sense, but they expanded the world way more with more gadgets and spy stuff. I even remember watching the DVD extras over and over. It feels cringe watching it now, but I still fee the nostalgia with the clips shown.

It genuinely feels like all of the spy kids movies were just some wicked insane dream I had. Like no one would believe me if I gave them details about these movies if they never watched them.

I actually really enjoy Spy Kids but they are ridiculous. The spinning hair is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.

9:55 when i was a kid i thought he was saying something super Spanish but the actor couldn't enunciate

13:45 I'm 14, and that's deep

I feel like these movies appealed so much to kids bc they're basically like if you took a kids pretend game and funded it. It's like a power fantasy sort of thing where all the parents are incompetent and the kids get to fix things by having cool gadgets and being smart n shit, plus there's wacky visuals and concepts. Makes about as much sense as what me and my sister pretended when we were kids.

This series was literally my childhood, me and my cousin would play spy all the time. My dad even made us our own OSS badges and everything. Even watching them now and seeing how ridiculous they are still warms my heart and reminds me of how much I loved them growing up.

“Ah yes, this sounds like Benadryl.” I DIED

If he thought this was a trip, just wait for spy kids 3.

It's so strange how in our young minds we could follow almost the whole story but rewatchingit when you're older it's like "wha-what the heck is happening when did they get there"

To elaborate on a small thing, OSS (if they are talking about the IRL one which they probably were) stands for 'Office of Strategic Services' That doesn't exist anymore, as it was replaced by the CIA in 1947. The OSS was founded in 1942 due to the lack of an intelligence agency. So this means in spy kids the OSS was never dissolved in 1945 after WWII and instead kept around. It is my belief this is the divergence point where Spy Kids splits from the IRL timeline.

11:21 I HAD WATER IN MY MOUTH!!

13:40 hit me so hard when I was 13 years old, I filled an entire journal with my writings about how I felt like God had abandoned me, abandoned all humans, and that religion is endlessly flawed in its search for life’s purpose. Looking back on that, it seemed very Nietzsche inspired, but really it was Spy Kids 2 that inspired my agnosticism

The Spy Kids franchise is how I was introduced to many famous actors. Like Steve Buscemi was "that crazy scientist from Spy Kids 2" and Sylvester Stallone "the bad guy from Spy Kids 3" for much longer than I'd like to admit :D

Child Soldiers: Illegal and a war crime Spy Kids: Completely fine and encouraged

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that HANK FREAKING HILL was the villain in this? Rewatching this as an adult really opens the eyes

this movie series (yes even 4) holds a place in my heart for well being actually fun to watch. Also "Danny Trejo" is kind of a national treasure in my eyes

There should’ve been a Spy Kids Cinematic Universe. It was on the same imaginative level as Shark Boy and Lava Girl

As a kid I had home recorded VHSes of the second and third movies (but not the first), and I can tell you: "Spy Kids 3D: Game Over" is *even more* insane than this one.

Nostalgia hit hard and then the reading rainbow theme played and the nostalgia doubled

10:00 CC says "junior rocky racer rebel cortes"

Steve Buscemi will always go down as one of the realest dudes ever. I forgot the name of the character XD, but that quote "Do you think...God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created?" Such a deep cut of a line where you start to wonder if you're watching a Spy Kids movie.

I think the appeal of the Spy Kids movies is that this stuff is kind of the thing kids think about when they think of spies. Cool gadgets, saving the world, and fighting bad guys, and that's pretty much what these movies do and I felt the first 2 movies do that well.

4:19 i assumed that after the events of the first movie, the OSS realized that carmen and juni had some special skills (due to saving the world pretty much) and they granted them special privileges. I think it even showed that the director of OSS had some kind of special privileges over the position of the president. So actually, yes, I do think Juni would have called in some special favors and would have gotten her a special talk with the president. That's why they were "SK1" and "SK2" and not some random spy kids operatives that came after them.

This in my opinion is the best of all the Spy Kids movies. The first movie was good, but It was about two kids being thrown into a situation where have to rescue the actual spies. The 3rd had WAY too much CGI, not a lot of Carmen, and Juni wasn’t good at his job as before. Here, they were actually spy kids from the beginning of the movie, especially with the cool gadgets, that dinner fight scene, and them actually going on an assignment as agents. This was so cool to watch as a kid.

i like that there is continuity in the movies, like they develop this sibling telepathy in this movie that still exists in the 3rd and 4th movie, things that are established in one movie still matter in the next, we love to see it

Ive always liked the studio behind movies like this mostly because of how imagination defying and rebellious to normal movies they are

13:03 well how many Adam sandler movies has Steve been in?

Bill Paxton, Danny Trejo, Antonio Banderas, Steve Buscemi... one heck of a cast for a kid's movie.

You should definitely review Spy Kids 3: Game Over !!! I still remember the betrayal I felt when I watched it for the first time and the line “I never even got her email address” which is so 2003. I enjoyed how Carmen is lost for a lot of it and it’s shows Juni’s growth as a character since he is alone/not with Carmen for a lot of the movie. Also It has Sylvester Stallone and Elijah Wood! There’s also Shorts (2009) which is also directed by Robert Rodriguez. It is an absolutely bonkers film and reminds me of the live action Cat In the Hat.

I really loved these movies as a kid but even as a adult I can admit the cave where they hear each other's thoughts but can't be heard if they open their mouth is a cool idea. I really believe the movies had some really decent and creative ideas in general, no one can ever say they are ripoffs of anything

As a danish kid, i have seen all of the spy kids movies (that i have seen) in danish. It is only recently that i realize that i know some of these actors from elsewhere. Like that dad from bridge to Therabitea or whatever, is actually Cabe from Scorpion and T-1000 from terminator 2. And the guy who plays Mr. Minion is also Adrian Monk

I remember babysitting my neighbors kids and they were into this. I was a teen thinking "man, these kid movies are weird", then I remember Pee Wee's Big Adventure. I have no room to judge.

As adults, we realize how weird our childhood shows were, because we start applying cohesiveness, logic, and common sense onto these shows. Yet I do still enjoy watching these shows and I'd definitely never wish to unsee this part of my childhood. It's nice to think back to a simpler time where everything made sense for us, even if they actually didn't. It's a part of a child''s imagination and creativity to find patterns/logic where none is. Sometimes that skill is something I miss ❤

“Do you think God stays in Heaven because he too lives in fear of what he’s created?” That’s really deep, especially for a kids movie.

“I guess I was just to busy trying to understand just literally anything going on in Kingdom Hearts.” Extremely relatable, and also… makes a little to much sense knowing what you’re like, Alex.

These movies were so good precisely because they were the extension of our wildest imaginations as kids. Which as adults feel like a warped fever dream X'D But hey, they sure did make us dream big dreams as kids X'D

The random music scene during the credits was that strange mix of jarring and fun when I was a kid. I later learned that it was put in because Alexa wanted to try her hand at a singing career and Robert loved the idea of putting singing in his movies. Alexa didn't make it as a pop singer, but she did make her own cult success in the indie musical circuit.

Spy Kids 1 & 2 had S tier casting for such silly movies, and it's their acting that really helped the movies from being the typical bad kids' movie and more of a genuinely enjoyable time.

I'm so excited for his video on Spy Kids 3. It's an absolute masterpiece and there hasn't been a movie so great since it came out. A full 1 hour 24 minutes of pure pleasure. Make sure to watch for everyone to be slipping around on the ground like it's melted butter and the way things slide around in everybody's hands proves that friction doesn't exist in virtual reality. And you can tell they probably just blew like 70% of the budget just on getting Sylvester Stallone in the movie so by the time they paid all the special effects artists they had to have been like oh crap we have no budget left, well let's just have all the known adult actors jump into frame for a second and then skip the fight scene and have everyone act like they won the fight and no one will notice. Yeah it's absolutely amazing. It walked so that Sharkboy and Lavagirl could run

I swear- this was actually my favorite movie when I was a kid. Spy kids 2.

I still love it's canon that Gary and Gerti's mom is Salma Hayek and their dad is Mike Judge. A power couple this real world needs .

I can’t wait till he does spy kids,all the time in the world, it’s…actually kinda depressing and relatable

16:20 The thought of something so f**ked up it even scares the paralysis demon... 🤣🤣🤣

4:23 and now he's married to megan trainer...lol

forget liking Spy Kids movies as a kid, I still like Spy Kids movies as an adult! They're ridiculous, campy, and I love it. This one is definitely my favorite of all the movies. IDK why, maybe because I like the island idea.

Can you believe this film gave us: "Do you think God stays in Heaven because He too lives in fear of what He's created?" LIKE FUCKING SPY KIDS 2. THE SEQUEL.

12:28 I now know where that one “how long have we been falling” audio came from

Unrealistic that no adult at the party just doesn't drink, or fake drank because they're too picky about their drinks, or fake drank because they're spies, and are paranoid about EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. Like if the kid knew she could just swiped her finger over the glass to know that there were "sleepers" there, why didn't an adult do that before drinking?

I love Carla Gugino. My dad sees her all the time, he is a door man at a building she has an office at. I loved her in Son In Law. She hasn’t aged for at least 2 decades, but I honestly think she’s an unproblematic queen so time has spared her from aging lol

spy kids 3 is the weirdest movie ive ever watched, but that’s what makes it a classic 😌

Fun fact: The president's daughter is played by Taylor Momsen who also played in the live-action grinch movie. She now has a rock band called the Pretty Reckless.

The more I think about it, the kids didn't drink that sleepy thing, making me think it was alcohol. Nobody wearing a suit, tie and shades should drink alcohol. Also, why would there be a party where every spy attends, giving bad guys a room full of their enemies?!

Before I even watch it, I'm just gonna say it: don't you dare speak ill of the greatest spy franchise ever, or you too will live in fear of the rage you've created.

I’m not ashamed to admit I recreated the ballet scene all the time and desperately wanted my own helicopter ponytails so bad. Still do tbh

Spy Kids 3 was everything to me. And, there was the website where you could play games. If you went to McDonald's back in the days, you could get the toys for Spy Kids 3 and it came with codes for the web game. It was honestly everything. Oh the memories.

The music that starts at 17:55 sounds like bad romance

“Ah yes this sounds like Benadryl” literally killed me.

13:45 - 14:05 I was waiting for this moment. Still can’t believe this mind boggling quote came from spy kids 2

I remember being like 8 or 9 years old watching Spy Kids 2 for the first time and actually thinking that the theme park in the opening scene actually existed.

Spy Kids was a MASSIVE part of my childhood 💜💙💚

“Do you think God stays in Heaven because he too lives in fear of what he’s created?” For a movie made for kids, that’s extremely dark.

14:00 questioning life

I remember watching spy kids 3 over and over and over again

The part where the girl was flying had me in tears 😭😭😭😭

The thing I love about these movies is, well even if it feels silly to an adult, it knew exactly what would be cool to kids and it went for it.

Spy Kids 2 is actually one of the best superhero movies of all time. it has aged so so well

Being a 40k nerd and seeing that random line makes me very proud

I feel bad for parents that had to watch this with us in the theatres when they came out 😂😂... Looking at it now, I honestly can't stomach 20 mins of this

I recently introduced the spy kids movies to my 5 (almost 6) year old and she loves them, it’s funny showing your kids movies that you loved when you was a kid and seeing them enjoy it. That being said…I didn’t really remember the second one as much as I remembered the first and third (we don’t talk about 4 and beyond) haha

13:52 we LITERALLY made the same face 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Spy Kids 2 was an absolute BANGER of a film, I watched it so much growing up and even had a play set of it which went on so many mission from the sandbox to the bathtub. So dope!

When Gurti did that thing with the hair, my exact thoughts were, " what kinda tails knockoff, physics defying fever dream is this?! "

9:00 I always wondered just WHY Juni wanted to still work for them after this stunt? I haven't watched this movie in Years but I don't remember the OSS having any reason at all to blame Juni other than Gary's word.

8:25 Even as a kid, I thought that was hilariously stupid. And I still do.

2:54 he’s so thicc for no reason 😭😭

I remember my dad renting this movie for me and my sisters to watch on dvd. He made his special popcorn in those old school popcorn makers. He'd always add a ridiculous amount of melted butter and salt to it. Good memories

I can't get over the helicopter hair scene. Easily the funniest shit I've ever seen

"Do you think God stays in Heaven because He too fears what He created" man you think you know what this movie is and then it just sucker punches you out of nowhere

Appreciate the Streets of Rage background 06:08

Your reaction to that quote was absolutely perfect.

I can't remember watching Spy Kids 2. I think Spy Kids was just one of those series that you rewatch over and over, but then years later you realize that there is a whole creepy fandom surrounding it that you missed and can't join this late in... No one else?...

14:18 isn’t that just the Bermuda Triangle? 🤯 🤯 🤯

You know, every time I hear you rep your podcast called "doing the devil's tango," I can't help but imagine like the most PG13 softcore porn video, lol. Like literally a porn produced by the "cool mom" who wants her kids to explore their sexuality but safely, you know, in a Disney friendly way haha
