Movie Marks

It's been a long hard road but here we are: we've finally arrived at episode 50. What better way to celebrate than with one of the pillars of wrestling and film. It's Ready to Rumble. Did this film cause the downfall of WCW? I mean... it didn't help. But we aren't here for that, we're here for the redemption of the legendary Jimmy King. We also look back at our past episodes and celebrate the films we've covered previously with the Movie Marks Marks of Excellence, our special awards presentation.

Have you ever wanted to see a major action star sit in a chair for 90 minutes? We've got you covered. This week a team of special ops soldiers and a photographer go on a series of missions. Are these mission related? I mean... I guess they are. Lucky for them they have Steven Segal as an elite sniper who does almost no sniping. In a seemingly unrelated storyline: Rob Van  Dam is in this movie and does the thumb thing once or twice.

Martha Jane Cannary or, as she’s better known, Calamity Jane is one of the most well known personalities from the Wild West. Books, movies, and prestigious TV series have all covered her colorful life in great (and fairly accurate) detail. Today's film throws all that out the window and just wings it. It’s a bold choice and we’re going to see if it pays off. Hot on Jane's tail is Al Snow (minus Head) who’s always just one step behind her. Hopefully he catches up before Calamity Jane gets her REVENGE!!!

This week on the show we cover a staple of direct-to-VHS action films: a generic South American-esque country with a corrupt ruler and drug kingpin. Watch as an awful plan unfolds so that they can capture the US military's latest equipment.... ACTIVE STEALTH! Will they succeed in their evil plan to own a stealth fighter in order to, apparently, deliver drugs quietly? Can the good guys use the power of Daniel Baldwin to defeat evil? Or will the bad guys be triumphant thanks to their secret weapon and Movie Marks G.O.A.T. Terry Funk?

This week's episode is one of our favorite sub-genres of films: 1980s wrestling movies where everyone believes wrestling is 100% real. This time a pair of cops need to find a new line of work and of course their fallback is professional wrestling. Join us and enjoy that one guy from that thing you watched that one time and his partner look to be the best BAD GUYS in professional wrestling. Also... Sgt. Slaughter is definitely in this film. He's one absolutely one of the leads. We promise. But while you wait for Sarge, you can be entertained by the legend Gene LeBell and his on-screen significant other Ruth Buzzi (ask your grandparents).

This week we have a film that is "inspired by true events." Neither of us have ever seen a film use that term so loosely. What starts off as a run of the mill "protect the princess" story takes a wild turn that nobody ... and we mean NOBODY ... saw coming. Join us, Eric Roberts, Pat Morita, and star Gail Kim as we experience Royal Kill. Trust us. It's quite the experience.

This week on the show it’s time for an island getaway. Listen as a TV producer tries to manipulate the public by focusing on the worst people they can find for their convict murder Olympics. Unfortunately for our evil producer he made one big mistake: He brought along Jack Conrad (Stone Cold), a US special forces soldier who’s been put in jail...for some reason. There's no escape for eight of the contestants or the audience.

This week it’s a Texas-sized treasure hunt as a pair of low level criminals look for lost cowboy mafia treasure. Join us as we watch people with no plan whatsoever really hope a lot of super specific things happen so it all works out. It’s swerve city as we watch Copper Bill starring Dustin "The Natural Goldust" Rhodes.
