63 | 'AGENT CODY BANKS' (2003), HORNY ESPIONAGE, & ICE CUBE
Manage episode 312659912 series 3240747
Adolescence. It’s the harrowing period of time where everything is sweaty and stressful, awkward and anxious, chaotic and changing. ‘Agent Cody Banks’ dives into this dangerous mission with a lot of intentions. It’s difficult to encapsulate the preteen and teen years in a way that feels honest and accurate because everybody’s experience was different and often embarrassing at (most) times. In the case of Cody Banks, the filmmakers opted to zero in on the hormones and horniness…to mixed results. It’s a slick flick, an expensive competitor to the more heartfelt ’Spy Kids’, and ultimately a movie that only holds up if you grew up watching it in the early 2000’s where everything somehow got away with being this over-the-top misogynistic and stereotypical. All of this is said from experience and with love, as Dylan did indeed grow up watching this one while Henri did not. It’s a wild ride, a early millennium kid’s classic, and a fascinating time capsule. Did you want ice with your drink?
