The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 14!
Happy weekend everybody - The sun has got his hat on, hip hip hip hooray, the sun has got his hat on and he's coming out to play! I do like the idea of the sun wearing a hat but why does he need one?!
There are a multitude of cinematic pleasures available for your viewing pleasure this weekend. Like an ocean full of fabulous flamboyantly coloured tropical fish, we're merely bobbing gently along with the current sat comfortably in one of those inflatable chairs with the cup holders - in one hand, sipping through a straw a lovely cold margarita with an umbrella in it and in the other a fishing net ready to pluck out the beautiful retro movie goodness. Olympics! What Olympics?!
Whatever you get up to this weekend enjoy yourselves and have a happy retro weekend :-)
SATURDAY 28th JULY
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) GOLD 2:20pm-4:40pm (2 hours 20 minutes)
A thoroughly ordinary man is hurled into an intergalactic adventure when the Earth is destroyed to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Luckily, his friend, who turns out to be an alien, gives him a handy travel guide to help him make sense of the strange universe.

Get Tony Stark AKA Robert Downey Jr's Black Sabbath T-Shirt As Seen In The Avengers Movie
In 1970, British heavy metal band Black Sabbath released a song called Iron Man and although it was not inspired in any way by the Marvel Comics armour-clad superhero, it was an obvious choice for the soundtrack of the 2008 movie starring Robert Downey Jr and can be heard over the closing credits.
Taking the connection even further, Tony Stark AKA Downey Jr is permanently sewed into a Black Sabbath T-shirt when he's not wearing his Iron Man suit in the Avengers Assemble movie and after numerous requests, you can now get the very same tee right here at TruffleShuffle.com.
This wicked Black Sabbath tee '78 Tour design has the real look of an original, vintage tee and is a bargain for any Superhero fans at just £19.99!
Apparently, Robert Downey Jr was so taken with the tee that when asked....
Was there one particular prop he decided to keep?

You Need Nickelodeon!
Have you got fond memories of rushing home from school and slumping in front of the amazing kids channel Nickelodeon for hours on end? Or maybe you even appreciated the finer points of it's cartoons as an adult, like I do now! Either way, we've got a treat for you to help remember those halcyon days!
First up we have the deliciously dark Invader Zim! This series was about an extraterrestrial named Zim from the Planet Irk, and his ongoing mission to destroy the planet Earth, which (luckily for us) never seemed to go to plan! Our tee features his quirky and loveable robot servant GIR, who was the ultimate fan favourite from the show.
Next up we have the awesomely bright and colourful show Rocko's Modern Life which aired between 1993 and 1996. This show was based around the surreal adventures of a wallaby named Rocko, and his life in the city of O-Town. Originally from Australia, it showed the hardships of Rocko adjusting to the American way of life! Our brand new T-Shirt focuses on Rocko and his faithful dingodog Spunky.
