Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the last episode of the G.I. Joe Cartoon in 1986, episode 30 “Into your tent I will silently creep”. 1986 started out with one of my favorite mini series “Arise Serpentor Arise” and finished with a episode that didn’t quite close out the year. Never the less this episode starts out with Cross Country and the Joes being attacked in the snow by a bunch of Tele Vipers with short sleeves on. In the end they…

When you think of 1980s wrestling icons, one name stands head and shoulders above the rest—literally.

Standing at a reported 7 feet 4 inches tall and weighing over 500 pounds at his peak, André René Roussimoff—better known simply as André the Giant—was born in 1946 in a small village in France.…

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , , , , , , , , 0 comment

Long before tablets and TikTok, there was a girl detective in a blue roadster who had readers turning pages faster than she could say, “Case closed!” The Nancy Drew Mystery Stories aren’t just a beloved part of literary history—they’re a gateway series that introduced millions of kids, teens, and even adults to the magic of books. Launched in 1930, the original Nancy Drew series combined mystery, independence, and just the right touch of danger to make reading feel like an adventure. For many, it was Nancy Drew—not a school assignment—that…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 2024 G.I. Joe Classified Once A Man. I got this from my man YTJ. What a figure.

Goonies Never Say Die—But Wow, It’s Been 40 Years!

Story by Mitchell Smith “Hey you guys”, I hope you are all sitting! June 7th marked the 40th anniversary of one of the most iconic eighties movies, “The Goonies”. Growing up in the sticks we didn’t go to the movies much as kids, so it took a year or 2 before this hit The Movie Channel. Even having to wait as a 12-13 year old I don’t think there was anyone that didn’t want to be a Goony. The film captured the iconic hunt for One-Eyed-Willy’s buried treasure after a…
