"Popping" noise from handbrake

When I release the handbrake after the car sat sits for the night a loud "popping" noise can be heard. Like the brake rusted and is snapping free. While driving my car I can pull up on the handbrake lightly and a very noticeable, yet softer, pop/thud noise is always heard. Suggestions?

Insite- I know nothing about how the handbrake works...but it can't be very complicated. I like to tinker though...so maybe this weekend I'll get under the car and take a look so we can figure this out!
