Do you like your movie heroes vindictive, sadistic, and barely heroic at all? Well the Movie Marks have just the hero for you. His name is Soldier. Or maybe it's Kelly. Or maybe it's Snake Eater. Regardless, he's a cop. Or maybe he's a private investigator. Or maybe he's neither. Regardless, he's a terrible protagonist. And Bam Bam Bigelow is in this movie too. Join us for Snake Eater 3... His Law.

Take one look at the poster for this week's movie and you would think it's your standard, run of the mill crime thriller. Well, the Movie Marks are here to tell you that the poster is a lie. This movie is easily one of the most insane and bizarre films we've covered to date. There's a lot of untaxed cigarettes and even more pickles. So many pickles. Let's head down to Brooklyn, Louisiana with some really great actors cashing checks and hanging out with Hunter.

The Marks finally check out a film starring a legendary luchador. No, it's not El Santo or Blue Demon. Instead it's the legendary member of the Dark Carnival, Vampiro. (WHOOP! WHOOP!) This movie has something for everyone. Weird ewok robots, guns that shoot giant flies, mannequins, and a completely absent hero. So spend some time with us as we fail to even remotely explain what happens in this movie.

What happens when a Hollywood bad boy lives life so close to the edge that he finally falls? Well the only thing that happens in the world of faith-based cinema is that he's forced to join his hometown church's stage production about the life of Jesus. During this journey, he learns that there are things more important than fame and debauchery like friendship and faith. Also Shawn Michaels is in this film playing a character simply named Doug. Yup. Doug. It's The Resurrection of Gavin Stone on t...

On this week's episode of the Movie Marks, we take a leisurely trip down the River of Darkness with YOUR olympic hero Kurt Angle. It's got a few vengeful ghosts and lots of gripping small-town political drama. Along the way we'll visit friends like Big Sexy Kevin Nash, Psycho Sid, and Glacier!

Before he was Fast or Furious, before he was a Trainwreck, John Cena was just a man trying to readjust to civilian life. The only thing standing in his way is the T-1000 and a whole lot of walking. Let's explore the film that would launch a career as well as a neverending WWE Films franchise. (Full disclosure: this episode was recorded prior to a major production upgrade for the Movie Marks. Don't judge us. We feel you judging us.)

Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe is the simple tale of two former friends butting heads over the attention of a beautiful woman. Maybe one is an escaped space convict and the other a space cop and maybe the beautiful woman has a child that will unlock the anti-life equation that will destroy the universe. You know: A tale as old as time. Join us as we try to make sense of the senseless. Also keep an eye out for a truly insane cameo that puts this in a shared universe with the 1987 film The Prin...

Fresh from the oven and directly to your ear holes the Movie Marks present Army of the Dead. Zack Snyder revisits the genre that got him to the show with a zombie movie that mixes in a little Ocean's Eleven and a whole lot of WTF. Snyder won’t be walking alone on this one because Dave Bautista is along for this very long walk through Las Vegas that features the occasional zombie, the occasional tiger, and the occasional time loop subplot. Seriously? We're the Movie Marks and we'll be your guides...

This week we take a look at the WWE Studios film The Main Event. If you like hearing people refer to wrestlers as "superstars" and fans as "the universe," have we got the movie for you. This movie takes place in a bizarre alternate reality where normal people use all of your favorite Vince/WWE buzzwords. Young Leo Thompson dreams of being a WWE superstar (not wrestler) and he finds a magical mask that gives him all the abilities he needs to achieve his dreams. So get ready to watch a middle-scho...

The year is 2026 and we have found a way to open a portal between Nevada and Mars. What for? It doesn't really matter. What does matter is that we have the first appearance by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson on the latest episode of the Movie Marks. Get ready for a thrilling, 10-minute tribute to the namesake video game wrapped in 100+ minutes of confusing nonsense. We promise our episode will be shorter and less painful. You're welcome.

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....

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.) I...

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 everyo...

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 question...

Are you ready for total Stratusfaction? This week on the show we take a trip north of the border for our second look at the world of bounty hunting. We accompany Trish Stratus as she balances being a bounty hunter, waitress, and mother or aunt or passionate pet owner. We'll figure out which one she actually is together in episode five of the Movie Marks.

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.
