Last Second Instant Watch: Mystery Team
Alright Geekscapists. Thursday is a big day on Netflix Instant Watch so clear your schedules. Before this week is over Netflix will be pulling some classic movies like Escape from New York, Swamp Thing & Zapped!, 2 stand up specials by Bill Hicks (Sane Man & Bill Hicks Live), Last Week’s Guilty Pleasure Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever and what was almost the topic of this weeks Last Second Instant Watch Wristcutters: A Love Story (which honestly if you’ve never seen now is the time to check it out). However what I want to shine the spotlight on is the new cult classic Mystery Team
Much like Lonely Island, Derrick Comedy is a youtube sketch group that grew in popularity when one of the members hit it big on television. Lonely Island has Andy Samberg, Derrick Comedy has Donald Glover.
Mystery Team follows a group of young junior detectives. They solve mysteries like “who’s been eating the neighbor’s pie”. Suddenly they get hired on a real case, discovering who murdered a little girl’s parents. It’s like Brick meets the Three Amigos.
It’s a delightfully dumb comedy made on a shoestring budget that I can’t recommend enough.
