Mystery Team (2009) vs. Knives Out (2019)

It's a "Mystery Movie" themed battle episode as Mike and Kendell compete to add yet another picture to the Greatest Films of the 21st Century List. First it's a breakdown of 2009's Mystery Team. A raucous and raunchy comedy that gave us the feature film debut of Donald Glover. It also includes early performances and first time introductions to stars like Aubrey Plaza , Bobby Moynihan, Ben Schwartz and others. Then it's time to tackle Knives Out. The smash hit whodunit inspired by the works of Agatha Christie brought to us by modern auteur Rian Johnson. With an ensemble cast and a twisty story that does not let up it may very well be his best work. Will either film score eight or more stars and be included in Modern Classics Podcast history? Tune in to find out but please try not to vomit from the cold hard truth of their cinema insights. Remember to rate, review, and subscribe to help out the pod.
