When Bing Crosby Saved Christmas with Song-and-Dance Numbers

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

There are Christmas movies that feel cozy, and then there are Christmas movies that feel like an event. White Christmas (1954) is firmly in that second category. This is the kind of film that doesn’t just play in the background—it announces itself. Big songs. Big smiles. Big Technicolor sets. And right at the center of it all is Bing Crosby, crooning his way through the holidays like he personally invented December. If Christmas ever needed saving by pure musical charm, this movie was more than happy to step in and…

How One Misfit Reindeer Became the World’s Most Famous Headlight

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

Some Christmas specials don’t just become traditions—they become rituals. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) is one of those. It’s the kind of holiday TV event that feels stitched into childhood itself, the kind you could catch halfway through and still sit down without question. Claymation snow. Burl Ives’ warm narration. A glowing red nose cutting through a winter storm. It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve seen it—Rudolph still shines. Right from the start, the story sets up Rudolph as an outsider. Born with a bright red nose that literally…

Anthony Geary, the legendary actor who gave daytime television one of its most iconic figures, has passed away at the age of 78. For generations of viewers, Geary wasn’t just an actor on General Hospital—he was Luke Spencer, a character who redefined what a soap opera leading man could be and forever changed the genre he inhabited. Born in 1947, Anthony Geary arrived in daytime television with a performer’s instincts sharpened by classical training and a deep respect for storytelling. When he joined General Hospital in 1978, Luke Spencer was…

When a Magic Hat Gave Us the Coolest Christmas Icon Ever

A Frosty, Gentle, Perfectly Old-School Look Back at Frosty the Snowman (1969) There’s something about Frosty the Snowman (1969) that feels like pure Christmas distilled into animation. It’s not flashy. It’s not loud. It doesn’t try to be clever or edgy. It just exists—softly, cheerfully, and sincerely—like a snowfall that doesn’t need to impress anyone. And yet, here we are, decades later, still humming the song, still smiling at that goofy grin, still getting a tiny lump in our throat when the sun comes out a little too strong at…

The Movie Where Tim Allen Accidentally Kills Santa—And It’s Fine

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

A Surprisingly Sweet, Slightly Unhinged Look Back at The Santa Clause (1994) Let’s address the reindeer on the roof right away: The Santa Clause (1994) begins with a man accidentally causing Santa Claus to fall off a house and die. And the movie just… keeps going. No sirens. No investigation. Just a legal fine print loophole that says, “Congrats, you’re Santa now.” And somehow—against all logic, sanity, and OSHA regulations—it totally works. This movie is wild, heartfelt, weirdly existential, and peak mid-’90s Disney energy wrapped in Christmas tinsel. Tim Allen…

Hut, Hut, Hype! Why Captain Grid-Iron Needs the Classified Call-Up

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. I’ve been looking at 1990 figures lately. This was a great year and many cool characters came from this year. Hasbro has done a nice job releasing a number of Vipers such as the Saw Viper and the Range Viper who still is a hard to get Classified figure for what ever reason. On the Joe side I have mentioned a couple cool figures and Hasbro has not yet tapped into the 1990 line up of Joes to release innClassified figures. Salvo,…

The OG Grinch Who Stole Our Hearts (and the Roast Beast)

A Mean, Green, Absolutely Timeless Look Back at How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966) Before there were live-action remakes, full-length animated reboots, and endless Grinch merchandise covering every shelf in December, there was the original animated TV special: How the Grinch Stole Christmas!—and in my humble opinion, nothing has ever topped it. This 25-minute slice of Seuss-powered perfection didn’t just give us the definitive Grinch…it created the Grinch as a holiday icon. And somehow, nearly sixty years later, it still feels just as sharp, just as funny, and just as…

Ebenezer Scrooge—Now 100% More Duck-Like

A Wholesome, Hilarious Look Back at Mickey’s Christmas Carol (1983) If you grew up in the ’80s (or were raised by someone who definitely did), there’s a very good chance that Mickey’s Christmas Carol (1983) was your first exposure to A Christmas Carol. And honestly? What an incredible way to be introduced to it. Before I ever saw foggy Victorian streets or ghostly silhouettes in black-and-white, I saw Scrooge McDuck slamming doors on charity workers, barking at Bob Cratchit, and counting his money like his life depended on it—which, let’s…

A Spooky, Sparkly, Somehow Cozy Look Back at The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) There are Christmas movies that wrap you up in warmth and tradition… and then there’s The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)—the film that looked at both Halloween and Christmas, smashed them together like action figures, and said, “Let’s see what happens.” And what happens is weird, wonderful, musical, dark, romantic, creepy, festive, and somehow comforting all at the same time. This isn’t a movie you simply watch—it rewires your seasonal personality. You don’t choose when to think about…

The Animated Christmas Special That Gave Us the Saddest Tree Ever

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

A Gentle, Jazzy, Existential Look Back at A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) There are Christmas specials that hit you with sparkle, noise, and “holiday cheer” turned up to eleven—and then there’s A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965), the quiet kid in the corner who somehow ends up being the most important voice in the room. This little animated special doesn’t shout. It barely even raises its voice. And yet, for nearly sixty years now, it has managed to say more about Christmas than most big-budget holiday movies ever will. And yes……
