Movie Marks

Let the Movie Marks take you back in time to the year 1986. We have a can't-miss film starring one comedy veteran, a hot fresh face from SNL, the director of Scarface, and Captain Lou. There's no possible way this movie won't be a smash hit! What? You've never heard of this love letter to New Jersey? Well let us get you familiar with whatever this is. It's Wise Guys with Captain Lou Albano on the Movie Marks.

It's a very special bonus episode of the Movie Marks. What could possibly get us to break our very strict every other week format? Well of course it's Wrestlemania and what better way to celebrate than with the Rated R Superstar Edge. A main event talent deserves a main event podcast to discuss his 2016 movie Interrogation. Get ready to experience a film with almost zero interrogations, but plenty of people making really poor decisions. And man that computer expert character sure looks familiar. So whether it's before the showcase of the immortals or as a cure for your Mania hangover, check out this week's episode.

This week the Movie Marks make their inaugural trip into the world of WWE Studios. Dolph Ziggler plays a cop that can't be bothered by procedures, rules, or common decency. It's a race against time to find a missing child who has a bomb strapped to him. Along the way we stop at a bunch of generic locations (tattoo parlor, lumber yard, etc.) as well as a WWE house show. Lucky for us our hero doesn't give a single damn about anyone's safety. Also Kane is the chief of police. (Insert shrug here.) It's Countdown.

The second-most famous group of crime fighting ninja brothers are back! When their trip to local theme park Mega Mountain is interrupted by a confusingly diverse team of evildoers, the 3 Ninjas will need some major league help. Lucky for them martial arts master Dave Dragon (played by Hulk Hogan for some reason) is recently unemployed and also at the park. Together they'll all try to save Mega Mountain from Loni Anderson and Jim Varney. So strap in, listeners, for a movie where absolutely everyone is miscast.

Tokyo is under attack by a giant prehistoric monster and the only people that can save the city are a cosplaying scientist and his lowly loser assistant. Lucky for them they found a way to turn the assistant into one of the best professional wrestlers in the world: the great Kota Ibushi. Oh and he's as tall as a skyscraper somehow. Will this be enough to save Tokyo? Is there a pointless spy subplot? Is there a cameo by another Japanese wrestling legend? Obviously the answer to all these questions is yes. So join the Movie Marks for giant-sized adventure in Kaiju Mono.

We here at Movie Marks aren't 100% sure how to describe this week's film. This direct to VHS children's film slowly unravels into a tale of madness that grips not just a family but the entire community. It becomes so insane that it only makes sense that living legend - and equally crazy - Terry Funk is part of what is about to be your new favorite movie. We recommend the listener indulges in their vice of choice because it only enhances the viewing experience that is Mom, Can I Keep Her?

On this week's episode of the Movie Marks, we explore the holiday classic Santa’s Slay. Goldberg has a lot in common with Santa Claus: They both show up once a year and dominate hours of your life for a lackluster payoff. Join us as we break down each and every merry murder on episode three.

Johnny Impact, Johnny Mundo, Johnny Nitro, and John Morrison are just a few of the names used by today's superstar. But the only name we care about is Boone. We take a trip south of the border for bounty hunting action. Or, at least, what action movies think bounty hunting is all about. Along the way, we learn about the biggest bounty of all....friendship.

Here it is: Episode one of the Movie Marks podcast. There's no better place to start than at the intersection of rock and wrestling. This movie is bursting at the seams with warriors of the ring so come for Roddy Piper, but stay for a pointless Ric Flair cameo.
