THE POP EXPOSE ‘Obi Wan Kenobi’ By Mitchell Smith!

August 25, 2019August 25, 2019 Serpentorslair StaffEwan McGregor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

Ewan McGregor is slated to be jump back in the Jedi robe and star in some sort of a Disney TV Show or Series about Obi Wan Kenobi. I thought this could be an interesting show, it most likely would take place between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. Perhaps they would incorporate some of the book Kenobi, written by John Jackson Miller. This was an enjoyable book and brought to life Kenobi’s experiences when he arrived and settled on Tatooine. There was a great amount of detail…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Rancor vs. T-REX’ By Mitchell Smith!

Earlier this week I was setting up some Lego’s with my son and he asked me what I thought would happen if Jurassic World crossed over to Star Wars and the Rancor and T-Rex had a battle. So I thought it would be fun to compare the 2 and see who we all thought would win this battle. T-Rex could grow to about 12 feet tall but 40 feet from head to tail and weighing in at around an estimated 20,000 lbs give or take a few thousand. T-Rex has…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Space The Final Frontier’ By Mitchell Smith!

Space has been around well forever I suppose. It is quite a mystery and perhaps the one thing that has no beginning or ending. Since the beginning of man space has fascinated mankind. Our ancient ancestors didn’t even know that they were obsessed with space. Every night they looked up at the stars and the moon. Every day they looked up at the sun. The sun has been worshipped for thousands of years and the stars have been connected into constellations. With advancements in technology we are able to see some…

THE POP-EXPOSE ‘Stranger Things 3’ by Mitchell Smith!

August 4, 2019August 5, 2019 Serpentorslair StaffNetflix, Stranger Things 3, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

I was able to watch Season 3 of Stranger Things this weekend. I was not disappointed. The first couple of episodes were a little bit slow for me, but once I got past those it was rolling and riveting. In my opinion it was filled with 80’s references, Sci-Fi nostalgia, and filled with a lot of emotion that brought me back to my childhood and growing up in the 80’s. I enjoyed the story and the acting, all round I thought it was suspenseful and really moved me with the…

Dr. Mindbender was one of the coolest Cobras from my childhood. I really like is look and it started right from his first appearance in the cartoon and when I received this figure for Christmas. I loved how they developed him and his curious appetite for history and resurrecting some of the most ruthless villains in history. He played a huge part in G.I. Joe: The Movie and quickly became one of my all time favorite characters. The original action figure was made so fine just like many of the original figures were…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Who Likes the Ewoks’ by Mitchell Smith!

July 23, 2019July 23, 2019 Serpentorslair StaffStar Wars, The Ewoks, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

Who likes the Ewoks? Return of the Jedi is one of my favorite Star Wars movies. I saw this movie before the Empire Strikes Back, just the way it happened when I was a kid, I didn’t get to go to the movies much so anything I watched was on TV. I have always heard mixed reviews on the Ewoks, that they were a marketing scheme to sell more toys. I always liked the Ewoks though. I was probably 9 the first time I saw ROTJ, I thought the Ewoks were pretty bad ass. Little bears…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Growing Up Francis Bean’ By Mitchell Smith!

Frances Bean Cobain was born on August 18th 1992, named after Frances McKee of the Vasalines. Frances of course was born into the grunge life and perhaps the heyday of grunge to Kurt and Courtney Cobain. 2 of the most iconic grunge singers with Nirvana who started the Grunge hype, and Hole 2 of my all time favorite bands. Daughter to 2 of the most powerful singers in history, Frances was sure to be a Grunge goddess, or perhaps it would be an unbelievable burden to try and live up to…

G.I. Joe has been a part of my life for as far back as I can remember. I had some 12 inch figures at my Grandparents from as soon as I could walk, and I received several Joes for Christmas in 1982. It is very hard to narrow down but I’m going to pick my favorite vehicle from each year 1982-1994. I wish I would have had the vision to save the boxes but back then it wasn’t even a thought to save the boxes and we played hard so Joes…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Happy 4th of July’ By Mitchell Smith!

July 4, 2019July 5, 2019 Serpentorslair Staff4th of July, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

Our great nation was founded on equality and freedom for all. Although our country has been through much diversity since 1776, I believe we have come to a point in our history were we do have freedom and we do have many rights. We should not be ashamed to hold our heads and our great flag high in the air and celebrate our great nation. I’m sure many will be having some outdoor cookouts and watching fireworks, but take note of the many people who have shaped the country in…

‘G.I.Joe 1985 Vehicles’ Story By Mitchell Smith!

June 23, 2019June 13, 2022 Serpentorslair StaffG.I.Joe, Hasbro, The POP-EXPOSE, toy collecting0 comment

1985 was one of the best years for G.I.Joe vehicles and play sets. The Flagg, Mauler, and Snow Cat were just a few of the great vehicles from this year, but there were a ton of small vehicles as well. The Silver Mirage sold for $3.29 and was worth every penny. I loved this as a kid. It was pretty simple but is one of my favorite Joe bikes. You could use it with or without the side car and, it created hours of fun. Cobra also got a cool vehicle in…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Would You Compete in This Game Show’?

June 16, 2019June 16, 2019 Serpentorslair StaffSports, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

Would you participate in this game show? We were talking about the NHL playoffs at the office this past week and some of the shots that players block. This got me thinking about creating a game show where you choose a sporting event and compete against a professional athlete for a chance to win money. The easier sports would be less money and the value would go up the harder the sport or as the chance of beating the athlete decreased . Now sense this is hypothetical I may break…

THE POP EXPOSE: ‘Is G.I.Joe Dead’ By Mitchell Smith!

June 9, 2019June 9, 2019 Serpentorslair StaffG.I.Joe, Hasbro, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

G.I. Joe has taken a turn for the worse in recent months and perhaps years. There may be a bit on controversy on a military based toy, but it didn’t take long for Hasbro to figure out there were lots of collectors perhaps millions in the world. So naturally what does the greedy corporate world do, take a $1.00 and turn it into $50.00 by doing less than what you were doing before. Seems brilliant to me, at least for the short term. If we roll back to 1964 where some…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Rambo First Blood to Last Blood’ By Mitchell Smith!

June 2, 2019 Serpentorslair StaffRambo, Rambo: Last Blood, Sylvester Stallone0 comment

Rambo ‘First Blood‘ was released in 1982 and became one of the best post Vietnam stories of all time. I grew up watching Rambo and it was such a great series of films. Sylvester Stallone who most in 1982 new as Rocky, which that franchise is a story in itself, nailed the part of John Rambo, a special forces Vietnam vet. Stallone was successfully able to transform from Rocky and portray a different character who was completely badass. The post Vietnam era lead to a number of great war movies but…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Memorial Day Movies’ By Mitchell Smith!

May 26, 2019May 26, 2019 Serpentorslair Staff0 comment

Memorial Day is a U.S. Holiday that started in the Civil War era to honor fallen soldiers. It should hold a special spot in all of the citizens of the U.S. as those who gave their life was done so we could enjoy our freedom. The day is normally filled with parades and cookouts across the U.S., but I like to sit down and catch some movies that show us exactly what Memorial Day is about and how many brave soldiers have protected us all over the years. The eighties…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘My Favorite Kryptonian’ By Mitchell Smith!

May 19, 2019May 19, 2019 Serpentorslair StaffChristopher Reeve, DC, Superman, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

My favorite Kryptonian Superman was born April 18, 1938 when writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster created the Man of Steel as he appeared in the first issue of Action Comics. Over the next several decades Superman became a staple in American culture. Spawning several comics, radio/TV shows, and movies along with costumes, action figures, and countless collectable memorabilia. Me growing up in the Eighties I am partial to Christopher Reeve and his role in the Superman trilogy from that era. Reeves along with Gene Hackman and Margot Kidder brought the story…
