32. The Stanford Prison Experiment + Sky High (feat. Ivana Brehas)

Film n culture genius Ivana Brehas brought us this pair of tenuously connected films, so we're all here together to break down their surprising similarities! Both the goofy family superhero 'Sky High' and 'The Stanford Prison Experiment' star Michael Angarano and Nicholas Braun, a real pair of 2000s-era 'oh yeah I know that guy' character actors. But the twindom doesn't end there! Both films also analyse the ways in which institutions (such as high school or uni) can have a power that goes beyond the educational, and separate or victimise the people they're tryna empower.

So what's it gonna be; are you a hero or a villain, a guard or a prisoner? a Nicholas or a Michael? An Ivana or a Janssen?? seriously be an Ivana not a janssen cmon. what are you saying right now.
