Episode 226: Good Movie Podcast?: Episode 03: Mystery Men (1999)

The third installment of Good Movie Podcast? brings us to the cyberpunk metropolis of Champion City. The most popular and powerful superhero in this town is the sponsor-friendly Captain Amazing. This story, however, focuses on a trio of more unlikely heroes. Mr. Furious, the Shoveler, and the Blue Raja finally get their chance to shine when Captain Amazing is kidnapped by the villainous Casanova Frankenstein. This oddball team is soon joined by the Spleen, the Invisible Boy, and the Bowler. Even with the training provided by the mysterious Sphinx (and some gadgets provided by a genius inventor), the team might not be ready for the big leagues. Unfortunately, they may not have time to figure themselves out before Casanova's doomsday weapon takes Champion City off the map. This cult classic may not be winning any awards, but it certainly won Dan's heart. We do hope you'll join us for yet another Good Movie Podcast?, and help us decide if this movie is simply silly or something more sinister...
