I grew up watching the 1980s G.I. Joe cartoons. The scratchy growl of Cobra Commander as he lamented the failure of his latest plot was a soundtrack for my childhood. Some of the newer iterations of the G.I. Joe cartoons actually aren't half bad. Renegades in particular is one I came across on Netflix and wound up getting into pretty fast.

And yes, I, like every male child of the last 50 years, had a G.I. Joe action figure collection. Probably ended up in an attic somewhere between my parents' houses.
