Welcome to Snark Industries, the Marvel podcast with one simple, deeply unreasonable goal: to experience the entire Marvel Universe in the order the stories actually take place and catalog every last bit of it. Jon and Remy introduce themselves, break down what the show is, where it came from, and why two lifelong Marvel fans decided this was a perfectly reasonable thing to do with their time. Consider this your invitation to come along for the ride.
Hello and welcome fellow Marvel fans to the Snark
Industries podcast. I'm John. And I'm Remy. And
we invite you to join us as we work our way through
every Marvel TV show, movie, and crossover. Meaning
if there's a Marvel character on screen, it's
fair game. All categorized in the temporal order
of their setting. By the time we're done, we'll
have built a complete start to finish timeline
of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. To accomplish
this goal and to have a bit of fun along the
way, each episode will be split into two parts.
The watch party and the deep dive. Most importantly,
we want to thank each and every one of you for
joining us on this incredible journey. We're
not affiliated with Marvel in any way, shape,
or form. We're just fans who are passionate about
these stories and these characters and wish to
share them with everyone in a new and exciting
way. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode
of Snark Industries. Hello, ladies and gentlemen,
and welcome to the Snark Industries podcast,
the Marvel podcast and companion website built
around one simple, deeply unreasonable goal to
experience the entire Marvel Universe in the
order the stories actually take place and catalog
it. Simple, right? I'm Remy. And I'm John. And
that was very professional sounding. Hey, thank
you. So that basically sums up what this show
is. And yeah, man, I'm so far having a blast
with it. Absolutely. Yeah. I think at the time
that we're introducing this to you on a session
zero basis, I think we've got 12 episodes laid
down. Yeah. We've done a few of these already
laid down and it's really been an exciting project
and one that I'm happy to be a part of, even
if no one ever listens to this, but me and you,
you know? Yeah. I mean. Oh, no, I get to wake
up at 530 in the morning and watch Marvel shows
with my best friend. Hey, you know, there's there
there are worse ways to live life, I tell you.
Right. Could be worse. But yeah, definitely,
you know, just kind of break this thing down
here before we get into the nuts and bolts of
it with all of you through the timeline. Just
to have this here to go episode by episode, movie
by movie, put them all in order. Things that
tie together, things that don't tie together,
things that we want to make try to tie together
that wasn't intended that way. And I think that
they can, because ultimately, at the end of the
day, all of this is coming from the same source
material, even if some liberties were taken.
But the thing is, is with comic books. And comic
stories, you know, whether they end up on the
screen or, you know, whatever. There's so many
different writers. There's so many different
arcs. There's so many different takes on these
characters. And I think that's a good thing.
I think it's a healthy thing for how these things
come to pass is that you have a baseline, but
ultimately there's a lot of nuance to not only
the stories, but what these characters can do,
their abilities. you know, the tie -ins and where
they go and the relationships that form and dissolve
and things as time goes on and different people
touches them. I think that it's interesting.
And I'm sure that there's something similar to
this kind of done with specific runs and comic
book stories and things like that. But, you know,
to take all of the big screen TV, movie, et cetera,
and to do it, I think it's pretty unique. And
I think that's something that's worth having.
You know, I mean, just as a reference, you know,
for lack of a better way, it is just a look at,
you know, to take a take a fly over and look
at all of these things as a whole and say, wow,
this is pretty amazing. Absolutely, man. This
thing this thing exists basically because we
wanted as fans for it to exist. That's it. Because,
you know, if you check out the website, honestly,
super proud of it. It's coming along great. And.
By the time we make our way in 100 episodes,
200 episodes, 1 ,000 episodes, this website is
going to be the definitive source of Marvel Universe,
cinematic Marvel Universe information. And it's
fun. It's fun to even though I've built it and
I've spent so much time on it, I still go through
it. I'm like, this is cool. We as fans are here
because we want to see this thing coming into
existence. Absolutely. And speaking of fans,
what's your nerd cred? I mean, where'd you start?
Why Marvel? So for me, and it's funny, you know,
and I'm going to blaspheme just a little bit
here because I'm not an exclusively Marvel reader
and enjoyer. I enjoy a lot of different things,
honestly. Specifically, though, and it's funny,
and we'll see this juxtaposition here in just
a few moments when you go down yours, but I didn't
start in the books. I didn't really have access
to them when I was coming up and everything.
My biggest thing is when I started really getting
into the things that I enjoyed, the things that,
you know, the sort of forming of my own personality
and entertainment venues. I didn't have a whole
lot of say in my house growing up as to what
was on the TV, with one exception, and that exception
was Saturday morning. And so having those Saturday
morning cartoons and we're talking the, you know,
the original X -Men animated series, we're talking
Spider -Man and several others. Those two are
the ones that really stood out to me the most.
Oh, true classics. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and
even to a point now we've got X -Men 97 as a,
as a callback to that. I mean, that's just such
a great, anyway, we'll get there too, but that's,
that's kind of where I started. you know, in
terms of comic book heroes in general, even though
it wasn't the books, it was on the screen. And
so, you know, every Saturday morning, that's
what I was doing. You couldn't find me anywhere
else. And I enjoyed it and everything else. And
I had a very, we'll call it strict upbringing.
So there was a lot of things that kind of weren't
allowed or thought that were to be kind of a
waste. So I didn't really get into actual reading
the books until I was in college and I could
buy my own books like a man. Wow. Like a man.
Yeah. And what I did, I went and I bought some,
went online and found things. And even the local
libraries, I would go around and they've got,
believe it or not, a lot of just straight comic
issues in there that you can go check out. I
didn't know that. Interesting. Yeah. So to go
in there and to find those things and to start
reading, and I kind of tore through a lot of
runs. And I know for a fact that not nearly the
amount. uh of actual books that you have um and
it's funny and i think it's i think it's a good
thing and a strong thing for what we're doing
here as we're tying this not only to the to the
timeline itself with the screen but also comic
book tie -ins when we do our deep dives. Yeah,
absolutely. I think it's a good thing that we
have, do I want to say experts? Yeah, I'm going
to, I'm going to, I'm going to toot my own horn
here and say experts in the respective fields.
Like you have a lot of in -depth knowledge of
the books themselves. And of course the, you
know, the shows and movies as well, but mine
is more, more screen related. And, you know,
I think that's a good thing bringing here is
we have. Both of those sort of viewpoints to
be able to make this really a complete saga.
Yeah. Yeah, I completely agree. And to that point,
you are more familiar with the shows and the
movies and things of that nature because you
rewatch them regularly. That's true. I, on the
other hand, I'll watch something and it's like
a good five year period where my wife doesn't
want to watch it again. So unless I'm watching
it on my own, I don't get to see it again until.
That time comes around where I can convince her
that, yes, you want to watch Guardians of the
Galaxy again. It's funny. It's interesting because
it's really a double a double entendre, so to
speak, with that is that because I do rewatch
a lot of the shows and movies. And part of it
is I like to I'm a very background noise oriented
person. So if I'm sitting here doing work or
if I'm, you know, whatever, I like to throw something
on the background. A lot of times I'll just throw
a show on. And even if I'm not actively staring
at it, watching it, it's on. I'm hearing it.
I'm looking at the cool scenes that I like. And
as well as that, my children are at the age right
now where they're able to start consuming these
shows and movies. So I'm watching them with them
as well. And it's their first time seeing everything.
So it's been really exciting. Oh, that's so much
fun. Yeah, it's been really exciting to be able
to do that and see. But yeah, I mean, you know,
to your point, that even reinforces what I was
just saying is that. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah,
just refreshing myself regularly. And then obviously
we're going to refresh ourselves on all of these.
And even I think for both of us see a lot of
new content. I've already seen a couple of things
that we've done even thus far that I've never
watched before. So and many, many more to come.
So, oh, yeah, absolutely. Before we get too far
off topic, though, why don't you why don't you
drop down and let's let's give you your your
side of the stories for terms of nerd cred and
why my nerd cred brings you here. Yeah. So my
mom had a really difficult time getting me to
read. My sister was a voracious reader. She would
devour books like they were going out of style.
I always kind of tried to step out from the shadow
of my sister. She was a very high achiever. So
I didn't want to read, period. I just shut it
down completely. Seven or so years old, I walk
into a gas station, Exxon, in a little Southern
California town, and there's a silver -foiled...
night watch comic which is if you don't know
night watch he is a spider -man adjacent hero
never really went anywhere had a small run but
really cool design beautiful cover and i was
i want this this book i want to see what it is
i want to read it i must have read that thing
a thousand times and from that point forward
anytime there was a comic book i was i was diving
into i was eating i was devouring it became more
marvel focused probably because my mom saw the
violence difference in the two and I know for
a fact that she wasn't a fan of the Batman movie
with Michael Keaton so Marvel Comics were more
readily provided but I also prefer them because
they're more colorful because they're louder
because I feel like the the characters are more
human you'll find out through the run of this
I'm sure that I'm not a Batman fan I don't like
Batman himself but I do like all the characters
that surround him. So it's not to say that I'm
not DC at all. Love some Green Lantern. Love
some Flash. Although some of the concepts like
the cosmic treadmills is the stupidest thing
in the world. But we'll move on from that. Long
story short is I just love comic books. Yes,
I heavily, heavily lean toward Marvel. But I'm
very, very familiar with most of DC comics and
characters as well. And I just love comics. I
just love the things that they can teach us.
I love the things that they can teach kids. My
entire left arm and left side of my body is a
Marvel tattoo. I've got Captain America. I've
got Gambit. I've got Deadpool, Nightcrawler,
Iron Man, Spider -Man. I mean, everyone that's
taught me a lesson in my past growing up is tattooed
on my body. It's just it's I take this silliness
very seriously. It's a good way to make for sure.
For sure. Yeah. And so I think here before we
before we divulge too much, this is who we are.
This is why we're here. This is what our story
is about. I did want to take a minute just to
say. For those that are listening to, we appreciate
you being here. 100%. And wanted to apologize
in advance for any continuity errors, things
like that, that we may have going through doing
this. And Remy did most of the work here. And
when I say most of, I mean all of the work in
getting these things in Temporal War was a tremendous
undertaking. And of course. Fans, not experts.
Yeah, right. Yeah, no, I didn't get my PhD in
superheroes, although that would be pretty cool.
Oh, man, I wish. Yeah, yeah. What a rad way to
live. But inevitably, there will be some errors
here, even with the breakdown that we already
have. But also, I mean, Marvel's going to continue
to release stuff. And there will come a time
when they release something that temporally falls
in where we've already been. And we'll address
that and we'll touch on that in the shows and
the and the website itself when that happens.
But that is something that is an inevitability
here as we continue going forward, as well as,
you know, the the the shows and the movies themselves.
As we're doing our watch parties, we're doing
our deep dives. We try to do our due diligence
on research and everything else. But once again,
inevitably, I'm sure one or both of us will say
some things that are out of line and out of pocket.
That said, we apologize. We're fans, not experts.
And we're going to try to do our best to make
this as complete and correct as possible. But
if those things happen, by all means, join up.
Give us a shout. Join our Discord. Say, hey,
this is this. We're happy to hear from you. We're
not taking any offense to any of that. And I
will make those corrections. Yeah, absolutely.
We want this, as I said at the end, once all
is said and done. How many episodes total in
the queue? Just just over twenty seven hundred.
Twenty seven hundred. So, I mean, and that's
today. And obviously they're going to keep making
content. I mean, there's going to be hundreds
of thousands of these by the time things are
all said and done. But we want it to be a correct
and definitive guide to all things Marvel on
the screen. So bear with us. Happy to have you
with us. And we're happy to have you here. Well,
we'll see you on the on the other side, folks.
We we thank you for being here and cannot wait
to journey through this with you. This is this
is going to be a blast. Thank you for joining
us in this episode of the Snark Industries podcast.
