The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 113
Great Barrier Reef! Is it nearly the weekend already?!
So, like a brightly blue coloured Surgeonfish, we'll scurry our way around in our ever growing school of friends, navigating the maze of tropical coral that's teaming with life and colour on the hunt for food and shelter away from the bigger and more menacing movie monsters of the sea. We'll scratch around and uncover some retro movie classics, always looking for our next fix of celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Saved By the Bell Turns 25 Today! Eeeeep!
Warning! Will make you feel old!
.
Nope! This isn't some trick of the mind, or a belated April fools prank, the hit TV show Saved by the Bell first aired today back in 1989....a whopping 25 years ago!
Now as exciting and scary as that might feel, it's certainly more than enough reason to celebrate which is why we thought we would put together some pretty cool facts, pictures and anything else we can find that you perhaps might not have ever seen before.
Join us as we take a trip down memory lane and look back and learn even more about this iconic retro show. Enjoy!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 112
Swoooosh! Bang! Ahhhh! It must be the weekend!
Getting all wrapped up tight and heading deep in to the dark night, we'll crane our necks and wait in eager excitement as we watch the night sky erupt into light from a barrage of firework glory. We'll gaze up at the fiery delights as we reach for our cameras and start rolling, trapping ever more magic onto celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Exclusive New 'I Survived Jurassic Park' T-Shirts!
Just when you thought our exclusive range of Jurassic Park T-Shirts couldn't fossil-bly get any better, we've only gone and done it!
Inspired by one of the most iconic theme parks ever, Jurassic Park was home to some of the world's most dangerous and deadly creatures including a whole host of genetically re-created Dinosaurs from prehistoric times, all of which were the brainchild of an elderly billionaire philanthropist. Pretty standard stuff right?
As we're sure all you retro movie lovers will know, during one of the parks tours, a huge storm hits fictional Isla Nublar, an islet located off Costa Rica. To make matter worse, their geeky computer programmer, Dennis Nedry who has been bribed to steal dinosaur embryos disables all security systems in the park to allow him to gain access and steal what he needs. Things quickly turn from bad to worse as all the ancient beasts begin to break free and run amok with only freedom and hunting on their minds!

One of the biggest films of the 90s, this Steven Spielberg classic will certainly always have a home in our personal movie collections and now even more love from our exclusive range of movie T-Shirts!
TruffleShuffle Insider: Meet…Michelle
Here it is! Working our way through all the lovely names and faces of the TruffleShuffle dream team, weâve been taking a little time each month to put one unsuspecting victim member of staff in the spotlight as we fire a whirlwind of questions at them and see what spins back out.
This time itâs the turn of the voice of TruffleShuffle Michelle to take on our rapid fire questions as we chat to her and share with you guys who she is, what she does here and what rocks her world.... other than cool tshirts of course! Hold on to your hats folks!
What do you do here at Truffle Towers?
I take care of Customer service at TruffleShuffle. This also includes dealing with Ebay, Amazon and all other projects we dig our claws into! I also share the responsibility of describing all the exciting items we sell on the website. The next time you read a description on the site, you should say it in a Scottish accent...because I'm Scottish - so it makes sense, obviously!

Our Exclusive New Ferris Tees Are UnBuellerevable!
On the 20th of February 1987, (but quite a while after the yanks got their hands on it), we were first introduced to one of the most iconic characters of the decade. Someone we all wanted to be, someone who came along and did what they wanted and got away with is...if only just!
He lives the teenagers dream, getting to skive off school, drive a fast and very expensive car, and well...generally lark around with his best mates in the great city of Chicago. Who wouldn't want that right?
We are of course talking about... Ferris Bueller!
.
From the very first glimpse of the tailor we say for this film, we were in love and we sure weren't alone! Ferris later became one of the top-grossing films of the year and a true 80s classic for ever after. Not bad for a film that was written in less than a week!
With such a following and of course looking to feed our Bueller bellies with even more retro goodies, we've been hard at work creating some amazing and super exclusive new Ferris Bueller T-Shirts, this time inspired by that classic quote we all know and love.
