Snark Marks, A Very Funny Podcast

Since Andrew made Jacob and Dusty watch Twister, it was only right the boys reconvened to watch a movie that everyone would enjoy. Somehow this thing is 2 hours and 24 minutes long, but that doesn't ruin the experience entirely. First, we discuss movie etiquitte and come to a conclusion as to who is the most influential pop punk band of all time. 00:00 - 22:44 Movie Ettiquite, Blink vs Green D...

Dusty won the bracket challenge, so he got to choose this week's episode. In true Dusty fashion, he settled on some good old-fashioned WCW trash. Halloween Havoc 1998 could have been a much better card without the filler (looking at you, Wrath vs Meng), as it featured career nights for two of Andrew's favorites, Disco Inferno and Rick Steiner. Unfortunately it also includes a match between...

Twister took 1996 America by... storm. Who hasn't seen this movie? With that said, who has seen it recently? Does it still hold up? In this episode we've got cows, sisters, divorce, funny nicknames and a whole lot of Van Halen talk. Join us! First we talk about people who preemtively trash movies. 00:00 - 10:33 Movie snob pet peeves 10:33 - 2:27:41 TWISTER (and some Van Halen)

The Simpsons is responsible for any good in either of our lives. That is barely hyperbole. The first 12 or so seasons is not only what we consider the best television ever created, it was also the base of what we find funny. In this episode, we discuss our personal favorite episodes in depth and build a list of the definitive Simpsons bangers from the first 10 seasons. First, Andrew's illegal...

We're tired. Wrestlemania 39 was a dream come true, and we had to get together to discuss it. Dusty paid 83 dollars for parking, we saw a van burn to a crisp, and Andrew thinks anybody who brings a title belt to a wrestling show should have to defend that belt. We are back to our normal schedule on Sunday, with an episode in which we select our top 15 The Simpsons banger episodes from the firs...

Wrestlemania 39 is this weekend, and somehow the Snark Marks have tickets to both nights. We go down the card and give our thoughts (Andrew hasn't watched any of the TV), and we plan our bathroom breaks (there are two 4-way tag matches.) First, we discuss Andrew spending 40 minutes in the Del Taco drive through and the fact that Panera Bread is terrible. 00:00 - 13:06 Del Taco Fiasco, Panera B...

Bret Hart and Jerry Lawler carved their legacies completely separate from each other. Lawler, being older, came to fame much earlier and was the top talent in Jerry Jarrett's Memphis territory, one of the most storied wrestling territories in history. Bret got his start in his home of Canada before making his way to the WWF and becoming one of the most iconic performers they've ever had. T...

We always love our podcast intros, so in true Al Gore fashion, we imagined what it would be like if we just made the whole show out of the intro. Below is a comprehensive list of what is discussed on this episode, in order: Dusty recites Summerslam 1993 from memory The movie Homeward Bound Godsmack and other bad bro rock bands Best walk out songs 50 Cent's repertoire Lynyrd Skynyrd/We build a...

Concluding our "People vs Aliens" series, the boys absolutely had to watch PREDATOR. This is the first alien in our series that was just purely a jerk at heart, what with the hunting men for sport and all. Andrew takes every opportunity to do his Jesse Ventura impression, which the person writing this caption believes to be very good.  First, Dusty had two short and stupid video clips to show...

For part 2 of our Humans vs Aliens movie run, we watched THE THING. It's got Kurt Russell, which is worth multiple stars in itself. It also scores pretty highly on the goo scale, but it makes up for it with a guy having a stomach mouth and an alien spider with an upside-down human head for a body. Norwegians might not like this movie, but apparently they are too stupid to work a computer anyway.&n...

Jon Jones, perhaps the greatest MMA fighter of all time, has a big heavyweight title fight coming up this weekend, so the boys did some exhausting research to bring you his story. There's ups, downs, championships, records, picograms, eye pokes, sandblasting, felonies, and hot mics. If you or someone you know does not know the story, or simply wants to relive one of the wildest careers in the hist...

UFOs have been in the news lately. It seems like there's a lot of funky business going on in the sky. Tom Delonge's distracted and these otherworldly bastards think they can just hang out all willy nilly. Because of all of this activity, Dusty decided it's time to talk about one of his favorite movie genres: humans vs aliens. We start off with ALIEN, one of the OG inner circle hall of fame movies...

In our first revisit into the world of professional wrestling of the year, Dusty finally gets his chance to try to convince Andrew that Big Van Vader was awesome. In the past, we have frequently encountered an older, fatter version of the Mastodon, so Dusty dug up some of his best work in the USto try to educate his ignorant turd of a friend.  First, we discuss Dusty's football team losing an...

In the midst of a COVID-induced fever dream, Dusty decided it was a good idea that we get together and build our dream music festival.  First, we discuss Dusty's illness and the fact that Andrew cut his hair.  00:00 - 15:07 Dusty has COVID, Andrew cut his hair off 15:07 - 1:06:22 The Snark Marks each build a music festival! 

The boys get together to answer an age-old question: if you were stranded on a deserted island, what would you bring? In this thought experiment, all real necessities are taken care of, because how boring would it be to say "a bunch of food?" We each get 10 pop culture items and 5 personal items. What would you bring?  First, we talk about Dusty seeing The Whale with Brendan Fraser, and Andre...

Long before Dana White and his rich friends bought the UFC, and even longer before Dana White was filmed slapping his wife and didn't get any punishment for it, Art Davie and Rorion Gracie had an idea. Eight fighters from different disciplines, coming together like gladiators to finally determine which martial art was the most effective. Most people didn't have any idea who would win, but most peo...

Did you set goals for 2023? To kick off the new era of Snark Marks, the boys got together to discuss things they'd personally like to achieve this year. Don't worry; fitness talk is kept to a minimum.  Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @SnarkMarksPod and let us know what you think!

The Snark Marks have decided to rebrand. No, we will not stop doing wrestling shows, we will just also be regularly doing non-wrestling shows. This podcast started because Dusty and Andrew love talking to each other, and we thought we could have even more fun on our podcast if we allowed ourselves to talk about more of the topics that we enjoy. So now, instead of a wrestling retrospective podcast,...

After over 50 episodes in 2022, we got together to give out awards to the best, worst, and most memorable moments and people in wrestling that we have covered this year. Was it really the year of Flair? What was the worst tag team? (Spoiler alert: it was K-K-K-Kronik).  Thank you to everyone who listened to us at all this year. Stay tuned next week for a big Snark Marks announcement! 

Vince Russo came up with some doozies during his time on wrestling creative teams (shout out to the Bat Man), but perhaps his worst idea was when he suggested that the product should be real. A group of professional wrestlers, nearly all of whom have no real organized fighting training or experience, were going to actually fight on a show filled with works and fakery. Ultimately, bunch of flailing...

There really has never been anybody like Andy Kaufman. From bombing on purpose in front of packed comedy clubs to touring as his lounge singer alter ego, Kaufman's style of entertainment is only called "comedy" because we don't have a word for it. He was a massive admirer of professional wrestling, and his dedication to kayfabe in every venture made him a natural when he decided to become the Inte...

1989 was a tumultuous year for the NWA. With Dusty Rhodes leaving as WCW booker, a power vacuum was created that eventually led to a booking-by-committee situation. This could have led to a bad year product-wise, but at least at the big shows, the talent on the roster and the quality of their work produced a fantastic year for wrestling. For some reason, they decided to end the year with two non-t...

Being that the score was not settled at Halloween Havoc (Settling the Score), Ric Flair and Terry Funk decided to, once and for all, settle the score. This time, they will face off in an "I Quit" match. Also, Jim Cornette seems to be paying a lot of attention to his new tag team The Dynamic Dudes, and the Midnight Express is not exactly jazzed about it. This PPV was short, fun, and ultimately scor...

It's the first Halloween Havoc! Crazy ass Terry Funk invaded WCW to challenge World Champion Ric Flair, but his first attempt went south at WrestleWar. He's back, this time with The Great Muta by his side, to challenge Flair and Sting in the god dang THUNDERDOME! This show also includes some of the best Lex Luger work we have ever covered, discussion on the ease of identifying the "mysterious" Doo...

1989 was the year of Ric Flair. After three five star matches with Ricky Steamboat, Flair moved on to perhaps his kindred spirit: Terry Funk. There is no way this feud will be anything other than classic, with two of the best performers in the history of wrestling facing off for the most prestigious title in the world. This PPV is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time, with intrigue f...
