Spy Kids: Armageddon is a family affair. The fifth installment in the hit franchise follows a new group of secret spies: the Tango-Torrez family. But its family bona fides don’t stop in front of the camera; Spy Kids creator Robert Rodriguez co-wrote the film with his son Racer, and his son Rebel composed the film’s score. “I wish I could go back in a time machine and ask myself at 8, 9 years old what I wanted to see in a movie,” Rodriguez told Netflix in an interview conducted earlier this year. In his children, he found creative partners who could answer that very question — without needing to invent time travel on a tight schedule.
