Pop Culture Affidavit Episode 154: Off-Brand Robotech

In 1984, DC Comics published a Robotech miniseries as a tie-in with the Revell model company. But Rick Hunter, Lisa Hayes, Lynn Minmei, the SDF-1 or anything else we know and love from Robotech was nowhere to be seen. Titled Robotech Defenders, it was a three-part miniseries that became a two-part miniseries and that lack of success meant it faded into obscurity pretty quickly.

So what was Robotech Defenders?

Join me as I take a look at the Revell models, the DC Comics miniseries and what, if any, ties it has to the classic Harmony Gold-produced cartoon.

Pop Culture Affidavit Episode 153: Just Part of the Song

Maybe it’s a lyric. Or a guitar solo. Or the bridge. Whatever it may be, there’s always small parts to songs that you remember. Taking inspiration from a 2004 Retrocrush post, I’m giving you a list of some of my favorite song parts. From classic tunes of the 1960s and ’70s to R&B breakdowns of the ’90s, there a lot to listen to. Maybe you’ll think of some of your own!
