bLISTerd: Best Pop Culture Vehicles of All-Time: Top 10
Yesterday we took a trip through Nos. 20-11 on our list of the best Pop Culture Vehicles of All-Time. Today we present you with the top 10. As you can see from yesterday’s 10, it appears that most of us grew up as children of the ’80s, what with the 1989 version of the Batmobile, the A-Team van, Magnum’s Ferrari and the Griswold’s Family Truckster gracing the list. That doesn’t stop here with six more vehicles that were prominent in […]
bLISTerd: Best Pop Culture Vehicles of All-Time: Nos 20-11
It was after a trip to visit a prospect’s business that I wondered aloud, “What’s the coolest pop culture vehicle of all-time?” You see, unfortunately, I’m not actually a full-time scribe for PopBlerd! I’m actually an insurance agent for Nationwide Insurance. And you see the dude remodeled classic vehicles. Like people paid him tons, upon tons of money and he souped-up their already souped-up classic autos. It was quite the sight, seeing three to four classic cars sitting in his […]
#Batfleck – Ben Affleck Named Next Batman!
Early this morning news broke that Ben Affleck, he of the Mallrats fame, was named the next Batman, for the upcoming Man of Steel sequel, set to be released in 2015. Since I’m on the West Coast, I was a little late to the Twittersphere #Batfleck blow up, mostly filled with cries from comic nerds (and wannabe comic nerds) about how awful Affleck will be as the Caped Crusader. I am a Batman fan. Not a huge Batman fan, but I’d grade myself at your […]

Pass the Popcorn: 5 Things We Learned from the New Dark Knight Rises Trailer
While The Avengers has set a high bar for what constitutes a summer smash hit, there are still plenty of big name contenders looking to steal the crown of biggest blockbuster of 2012. And The Dark Knight Rises is easily the most likely challenger. We’ve seen speculations and sneak peeks and footage from the film for over a year now, so instead of explaining the newest trailer, or just saying, “Look, it’s a trailer!”, here are a few new facts […]
Comics Are Cool: Episode 1
I probably should’ve started this thing with the whole Spider-Man’s a black kid media whirlwind but we’ll hit that story when Ultimate Spider-Man #1 comes out in October. Plus, Marvel gets press all the time. They put their big stories in USA Today the day before fans can get a hold of the actual comics. It bites. But enough about them. What have they done this huge lately? Anyway, you may or may not have heard about this thing that DC is doing called […]
Blerd’s Notes: A Guide to the Music of Prince (Part 3)
Originally published November 9, 2010. I’ve edited this entry a little more than the previous two to make up for a couple of grammatical errors and a few turns of phrase that I’m not entirely comfortable with six years later. Everything’s been good on the Prince ride so far, right? We’ve already covered his ascension to superstardom, and now we’re at the tail end of the Eighties, when cracks in the Purple Armor were beginning to show. Nothing good lasts […]
