SPY KIDS (2001)

The SPY KIDS era starts NOW. Nick and Scott kick off a brand new mini-series with 2001’s Spy Kids.

Writer-Director-Editor-Cinematographer Robert Rodriguez was ready to get back to his home movie roots after directing action/horror studio flicks like FROM DUSK TILL DAWN and THE FACULTY, but instead he made a surprise blockbuster that changed the course of his career. Carmen and Juni Cortez are two just two ordinary siblings with two ordinary parents…Or so they think. Soon, Carmen and Juni are swept up on an adventure full of spies, danger, and gadgets. Lots of gadgets. Is SPY KIDS really the children’s classic millennials think that it is? Find out in this fully declassified episode of FRANCHISOGRAPHY

Joining Nick and Scott to talk about child entertainers, thumb people, and Robert Rodriguez’s garage is podcaster, Gary Roby (The New Republic Archives).
