Film in 2017: Mystery Music

#72: The Sound of Music & 94: Mystery Men

You probably have never heard of Mystery Men, a 1999 film that ran with the foolishness of superhero movies instead of trying to make it super serious. The heroes are people with plates, mining equipment, anger, talking bowling balls. It's both a curious oddity and something could be brought back into the modern day with it's weirdness.

Because, it's not a wry, Deadpool-ish smartassery. It's people working with what they're given and taking it very seriously.
