THE POP EXPOSE ‘G.I.Joe Filecards’ By Mitchell Smith!

September 16, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffG.I.Joe, The POP-EXPOSE, toy collectors0 comment

When G.I. Joe hit shelves in 1982 each character had his own little uniqueness, as the years went on they had a vast variety of weapons, uniforms, and personalities, but one thing they all have in common is they all came with a file card. Hama tossed in a lot of military stuff, but he also through in some humor and gave a little back story to every character bringing them to life. I was sitting reading through some the other night and it made me wonder where Hama came up with…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Thriller VS. The Eagles Greatest Hits by Mitchell Smith!

September 2, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffMichael Jackson, Music, The Eagles, The POP-EXPOSE, Thriller0 comment

Last week the Eagles greatest hits album took over the all time number one selling album as it knocked the long standing Thriller album off the top and arising a little controversy about a greatest hits album being allowed in the same category as a single album. I like the Eagles and I like Jackson, while both are not in my top 10 ten artists they both fall into my top 25. I want to break each album down and see where I stand on the debate. This is strictly sales of an album…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘New York City’ By Mitchell Smith!

August 5, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffNew York City, Pop Culture Shock, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

I was born in upstate New York about an hour from the Canadian border. I have lived in New York State my whole life and recently was able to make my first trip to New York City. I have been to quite a few major cities in my day, Boston, New Orleans, Orlando, Philadelphia, Ottawa, and Montreal, but New York is just a whole different experience. There is a good piece of history there, and so much to do. Things can be pricey but there are still tons of stuff to…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘The Regrettes ‘ by Mitchell Smith!

July 29, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffMusic, The POP-EXPOSE, The Regrettes2 Comments

The Regrettes are an American punk band from LA. I heard them on the radio the other night when they played their cover song “A Teenager in Love”, originally by Dion and the Belmonts in 1959, this song has been covered by many bands such as Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Marley, and the Mutations from the Muppet Show. The Regrettes had a nice sound to this remake with lead singer Lydia Night, lead guitar Genessa Gariano, bass guitar Sage Chavis, and drummer Drew Thompson, so I checked out some of…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘If We Could Time Travel’ by Mitchell Smith!

July 15, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffPop Culture, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

This one might just be a crazy thought, but it will be fun to see if I could get some outside interaction going. If you could travel back in time and spend a week with one famous person who would it be, I’m going to do 5 just to try and get it rolling. Babe Ruth The Babe, The Bambino, the Sultan of Swat, born in 1895. What would be better then spending a week with the Babe when he played for the New York Yankees in the 1920’s. I…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘You Will Be The Death Of Me Star Wars’ By Mitchell Smith!

July 8, 2018July 9, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffStar Wars, The POP-EXPOSE2 Comments

The Star Wars franchise has been packed with Love and Light, death and sorrow, hope and despair, but it has also laid down some of the best and most memorable death scenes in Sci-fi and cinematic history. It didn’t take long for the someone to die in the original Star Wars. Captain Antilles suffered a neck cracking death from the hands of Darth Vader in the opening scene and Greedo soon followed along with Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen, all became fan favorite characters in time, but none at this point were more…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘So Long Toys R US’ by Mitchell Smith!

July 1, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffThe POP-EXPOSE, Toys R Us0 comment

Most TRU’s are closed or will be closing the doors by months end. Founded in 1948 in New Jersey the beloved store has been a staple in American culture and their signature jingle and mascot will be missed. As a kid I did not have a TRU close by so it wasn’t till my later years that I was able to enjoy TRU. I made up for lost time spending time looking for Thomas the Train and Barbies, but most of all spending time with my kids. I was able…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Is G.I.Joe Still Relevant?’ By Mitchell Smith!

Is G.I. Joe still relevant? This is a hard question to answer coming from a die hard Joe fan. G.I. Joe has been a staple in my life since I was able to walk. My grandparents had a handful of the 12 inch figures and I would spend hours making adventures with my brothers when we went over to my grandparent’s house which was most Saturday’s. When I was 7 years old my brothers and I received a good portion of the 1982 line for Christmas and from then on I grew up with…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Famous TV Cars’ by Mitchell Smith!

June 10, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffClassic TV, The POP-EXPOSE, TV0 comment

The 50’s and 60’s had lots of great cars and many classics still survive, but TV brought many cars to the forefront and with their unique spin made many cars famous. The 70’s and 80’s were very true to spot lighting vehicles and they became a character of the shows. Here are a handful of some of my favorite TV vehicles made famous by their show. Miami Vice sported a sweet Ferrari Daytona Spider, but when they switched over to the Ferrari Testarossa this signature car became one of my…

I have always wondered where G.I. Joe went wrong when they hit the big screen. It seemed like they had some success, but maybe they should have held to the comics and the animated series more. I love the uniqueness of each character. The movie had every character in the same uniform, but I think what makes G.I. Joeso great is all the different uniforms and specialties. Each character was easily identifiable by their uniform. I would have loved to see some Shipwreck and Footloose, some Dusty and Alpine, and some Airtight and…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Thanos vs Vader’ by Mitchell Smith!

May 27, 2018 Serpentorslair StaffAvengers: Infinity War, Darth Vader, Thanos, The POP-EXPOSE0 comment

I’m Just curious who would win this fight? Thanos, one of the most powerful beings in the universe against Vader, also one of the most feared and powerful beings in the universe. Is Thanos any match for the force though??? Maybe each character is in a different universe, but I want to break down the 2 franchises and see where each character stands in our world. Darth Vader made is big screen depute in 1977. In the opening scene of Star Wars, Vader made an instant impression on the world and on the…
