Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey dive into the outrageous world of 1999’s raunchy spoof comedy classic, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, directed by Jay Roach. The sequel to Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery brings back Mike Myers (Wayne’s World, Shrek) in triple duty as groovy spy Austin Powers, the maniacal Dr. Evil, and the bizarre Fat Bastard. Joining him is Heather Graham (Boogie Nights, Drugstore Cowboy) as Felicity Shagwell, Austin’s new partner in espionage, alongside Michael York (Logan’s Run, Cabaret) as Basil Exposition and Robert Wagner (Hart to Hart) as Number Two. Rob Lowe (Parks and Recreation, St. Elmo’s Fire) also hilariously plays the younger version of Number Two, while Seth Green (Family Guy, Robot Chicken) returns as Scott Evil, and Verne Troyer delivers one of cinema’s most iconic comedy sidekicks as Mini-Me. This outrageous sequel finds Dr. Evil traveling back to the 1960s to steal Austin’s mojo, forcing Powers and Felicity to stop him in a time-travel romp filled with over-the-top parody, ridiculous gadgets, and quotable one-liners. Famous scenes include the introduction of Mini-Me, Fat Bastard’s “I eat because I’m unhappy” gag, and the groovy “mojo” storyline that cemented the movie as a pop culture phenomenon. With outrageous humor, cheeky spy send-ups, and a now-legendary soundtrack featuring Madonna’s “Beautiful Stranger,” this entry remains one of the most beloved comedies of the late ‘90s. #austinpowers #theroses #mikemyers #heathergraham #vernetroyer #sethgreen #johnhumphrey #aaronalexander #moviereaction #filmreview #comedymovies #90smovies #groovybaby Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/avYMLvAaIkc The Naked Gun (1988) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/O3sOm6g79bU Batman (1989) Movie Reaction COMMENTARY: https://youtu.be/N4jxKx9ABlk Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/CvbVQt_02Uw Tropic Thunder (2008) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/N5S2pnwUIQM Follow Aaron On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealaaronalexander/?hl=en 0:00 Checking In! 1:39 Austin Powers 2 Reaction 28:07 HELLO FRESH 29:50 Austin Powers 2 Movie Reaction 57:01 Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/praperhq/?hl=en Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG Ask Us A QUESTION On CAMEO: https://www.cameo.com/thereelrejects Follow GREG On INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thegregalba PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

This is The Empire Strikes Back of the Comedies. Not just because of the Star Wars references, but because it's a perfect sequel.

It truly is impossible to not have a crush on Heather Graham. Hell she hasn’t aged a day since this movie came out. And she’s still just as talented.

The reason why they made Vanessa a fem bot in this movie is because Elizabeth Hurley was working on another film and couldn’t get the scheduling to line up. Also in classic Bond formula, he has a new partner in every film so it makes sense if you look at it from that point of view.

@SirPaladin 2025-08-30

so the reason for all the Star Wars references in this is because this opened opposite The Phantom Menace.
