"Tusk" is about an aged sailor, Howard Howe (Michael Parks), transforming an arrogant podcaster (Justin Long) into a walrus. A walrus! The story originated on writer-director Kevin Smith's "SMODcast," the internet show he fled to when his film career started to flatline. During one of the shows, Smith and his co-host, Scott Mosier, came upon a fake classified on the website Gumtree, requesting someone to dress up as a walrus in exchange for free lodging. Although the ad was fake, the two spent the rest of the podcast hashing out the entire plot for "Tusk."
