The Dark Mark Show episodes

  • 67: John Hawkes and Rodney Eastman
    Academy Award nominee John Hawkes and horror movie icon Rodney Eastman joined Mark and Hannah for some spirited conversation and music

    John is someone who has been in so many big movies, but says he can walk the street and go unnoticed much of the time. He describes how he was able to stay awake while acting with Daniel Day-Lewis In Lincoln, what it was like to be nominated for an Oscar for his performance in Winter’s Bone (wait until you hear the freebies he got), how he sacrificed his body to play a man with polio in The Sessions and what it felt like to not be nominated for an Oscar for that performance after everyone thought he was a shoo in, what took the Deadwood movie so long to finally happen, what it was like to be on the set of Northern Exposure when he was starting out, the preconceptions of being an actor who also sings and so much more

    Rodney is known for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and 4 as well as the remake of I Spit on your Grave. He talked about getting the script for I Spit on your Grave with a different title and the depths he went to to play such a despicable character. He was a heavy metal loving teenager living in East LA when being an extra in an Afterschool Special led to being one of the Dream Warriors. He recounts his crush on Patricia Arquette, how cool Laurence Fishburne was, how he passed out while being tongue tied by Freddy Kruger and being a teen heartthrob, so much so that he was named one of the most eligible bachelors in Hollywood.

     

    Rodney and John also sang 2 songs acoustically, one from an upcoming musical play they wrote with someone named Wham-O (!)

  • 63: Jamie Gendron and Kinky Jesus
    Comedian Jamie Gendron indulged her naughty side and reminisced about her dominatrix past as she met a willing slave in Kinky Jesus on the show this week. Jamie had all sorts of stories about being a dominatrix in New Orleans and Hollywood and how lucrative and naughty that can be. You will never look at a dog’s chew toy quite the same again. Kinky Jesus had his own stories about being a sub for many years and you won’t believe how he got the name Kinky Jesus. Nails are involved. The conversation was only cut short so Jamie and Kinky Jesus can do their own scene complete with slapping, nail coverings, handcuffs, hard nipple twists and flogging with a belt that had bullets attached.

    If you are looking for a glamour photo shoot Kinky Jesus has a great eye and does terrific work. Go to www.FetishPhotoPro.com  to see his work and book a session.

  • 62: Julia Montgomery and Brett Gustafson
    The Dark Mark Show got in touch with its inner nerd as Mark and Hannah welcomed Julia Montgomery who played Betty Childs in Revenge of the Nerds and actor/cosplayer Brett Gustafson to the lighter side of the dark side. Julia recounted growing up in New Jersey where she was a teenage model and acted in high school alongside classmate Jason Alexander quite a bit. She made some forgetful films before her big break in Revenge of the Nerds. She talked all about auditioning for the movie, the chaotic and sexually charged atmosphere on the set, how director Jeff Kanew’s encouragement of improvisation made the movie the classic that it is today, some surprising tension with Robert Carradine and really surprising revelations about Curtis Armstrong aka Booger. She also tackles the movie’s sketchy morality in today’s time, what 80s conventions are like, the Nerd sequels and what it is like to work with Sylvester Stallone and Ed Harris and so much more. Brett came dressed as a nerd as only he can, discussed meeting Hannah for the first time when he first got to Hollywood, talked about getting a commercial where they only used his hands, how his training as a mime came in handy, and had a great story about being accosted at an Anime convention while dressed as the cartoon character Doug. Stand-up comedian Jamie Gendron also called in to tell Julia what an inspiration she was to her. What a nerd!

  • 61: Jonathan David and Rotten Kitty

    Hannah was surrounded by funny people this week as she and Mark welcomed Jonathan David and Rotten Kitty to the lighter side of the dark side

    Jonathan grew up in Washington state and his parents are both deaf thus he was compelled to learn some interesting sign language

    He has overcome a heroin addiction as well as a stutter and is making people laugh on comedy stages all over the west coast.

    His one man show Signs will be part of Hollywood fringe festival this year and is a must see.

    Kitty returned to the show for the first time since she had pickup artist Ross Jeffries on his hands and knees asking her out. She had some experience with sign language and got some clarification on the dirty words. She explained how she transitioned from being a burlesque dancer to a host to a stand up comedian and bonded with Hannah about bad dates and bad breath.

  • 60: Joy Villa and Tino Sanchez

    The Dark Mark Show took a hard right as Mark and Hannah welcomed Singer/Actress/Fashionista/Activist Joy Villa and Stand Up Comedian TIno Sanchez to the lighter side of the dark side

    Joy has been busy shocking liberals at award shows, most recently wearing a pro life dress to the Daytime Emmy Awards and a Pink Floyd inspired wall dress to the Grammys complete with barbed wire. She told her story of both being adopted, putting her own child up for adoption and talked about the pro-adoption charity Save the Storks. She also talked about the good and bad about her viral fame, the good being the sales of her albums, including her new one Home Sweet Home skyrocketing, the bad being racial epithets and death threats.

    Tino came in typically like a house on fire. He talked about how he met Joy on Hollywood Blvd and how Dark Mark being a friend to them both broke the ice, had some stories and loud opinions on gun control, even though no one was arguing with him, describes himself as a libertarian who has been won over by Trump and describes the difference between doing comedy in Las Vegas and LA, decries political correctness and gets to roast Dark Mark a little. He barely got a chance to talk about the cause dearest to his heart, pit bull rescues.

  • 59: Rocky Kramer Angela Monzon and JR Redwater

    Mark welcomed singer/guitarist Rocky Kramer, comedian J.R. Redwater and promoter Angela Monzon to the lighter side of the dark side.

    Rocky was born in Norway the son of 2 symphony orchestra musicians. He was able to play violin starting at the age of 5 but was drawn to guitar shortly after inspired by musicians as diverse as Yngwie Malmsteen and David Gilmour. He details his road to Hollywood including meeting 3/4 of Kiss and talks about his upcoming album Firepower and upcoming European tour with Buckcherry

    Angela comes from a talented family herself as her uncle is comedian Paul Rodriguez and her cousin is skateboarder Paul Rodriquez, she talks about all sorts of wild and haunted events that have happened at 5 Star Bar where she works including some fisticuffs at a Dead Boys Show. She is now promoting comedy shows there.

    JR Redwater is one of the comedians who has headlined 5 Star Bar. He was also on Showtime and has a tour of fellow Native Americans called The Chiefs of Comedy.

  • 58: David Leach and Tamera Von Tart

    Mark and Hannah welcomed actor/singer David Leach and pinup model Tamera Von Tart to the lighter side of the dark side this week.

    You would not believe what David had to do to get on Road Rules, and he pulls the curtain and lets you behind the scenes of MTV’s last great reality show. He tells of freaking out David Draiman of Disturbed and Stone Cold Steve Austin in completely different ways. He was billed as the “big sweaty guy” on Westworld, and talks about filming that as well as his roles in Batman v Superman, This is Us and Get Shorty as well as talk about how Craigslist led him to be the lead singer of the nu metal band Dirty Machine. He also touches on his beefs with Fred Durst and P.O.D. and what it was like to tour with the Insane Clown Posse.

    Tamera just got back from the rockabilly festival Viva Las Vegas, and talks about what a crazy time it was as well as defines rockabilly for David. Her nail game is always on point, which is difficult as she just got them done from someone with severely shaky hands. Hannah had high praise for her vintage style and she gave tips on how to be and pose sexy. She is now in the Pink Mink Mafia and repped the giant hoop earrings and her status as an honorary chola as well as letting us know what her children think of having a model as a mom and how they are following in her footsteps and have already been featured in Australian Vogue magazine.
