Mystery Men
156 Plays3 years ago
What if there was a superhero parody before superhero movies were big enough to be parodied? Well, that's exactly what happened in 1999 with Mystery Men. Despite having pretty big comedic names like Ben Stiller, Janeane Garofalo, and Hank Azaria attached, it's a movie that's probably not remembered by most. Michael Hale of the KMP Podcast is the guest this week to discuss this forgotten but interesting episode in superhero cinema.

00:00:00
Speaker
Hey, fellow superhero cenophiles. Did you know that almost 30% of adults say they haven't read a book in the past year? Primary reason why is a lack of time. Well, Audible's here to help with the gift of found time.

Humorous Superhero Alter Ego Stories

Speaker
I'm going to bring this up again. It's $150 a piece. We each chip in because it knows the sky, it knows the public system. What are we going to publicize, Roy? The fact that we got our butts kicked a lot? Well, maybe if you didn't smack me in the face with a shovel every time we went out. He has more wins to brag about. I'm sorry about that. I just have a tendency to lose my concentration when I've got a salad fort stuck in

Speaker
my rear end. Oh, oh, I get it. So your shovel in his face is my fault, is that you? You threw a spoon at that guy, Jeff. Yeah, what was up with that?
00:01:58
Speaker
Frightfully embarrassed about that. I thought it was a fork. You're the master of cutlery. You can't throw a knife sometimes. No, I can't. You can't use a rake sometimes? No, I'm the shovel. Well, I'm the Blue Rajan. I'm not a stab man. I'm not knife-y boy. I'm the Blue Rajan.

Speaker
You know, that's another thing. What? I mean, you could get a little bit of blue in the uniform somewhere. Really? You got green. There's, like, a little flowery thing happening. But there's, like, everything but. Doesn't make a lot of sense. If we could just step out of our literal minds for just one moment. Hey! Ooh, look what I'm doing. Look at that. I'm putting 150 right on the table. Who's in with me? I don't have 150. Now, do I? If I did, I would plunder my mother's silverware. It's a waste of money. You know who doesn't think it's a waste of money?
00:02:42
Speaker
Little Mr. Captain Amazing. Well, Captain, if we had a billionaire like Lance Hunt as our benefactor, yeah, we could spend $100. That's because Lance Hunt is Captain Amazing. Oh, don't start that again. Lance Hunt wears glasses. Captain Amazing doesn't wear glasses. He takes them off and he transforms. That doesn't make any sense. He wouldn't be able to see.

Speaker
Welcome to the Superhero Senate Files podcast. I'm your host, Perry Constantine. And today I got a new guest on who hosts a podcast of his own, which I've been on, I think three times now, if I'm remembering correctly. And that's Michael Hale of the KMP podcast. Mike, how you doing today?
