The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 236
Great Gatsby! Another retro movie filled weekend is here folks. Time for adventure, mystery and of course a full helping of action. Let's go!
Climbing the steep, cold and grainy steps up towards the top board, we find our excitement and nerves increasing evermore with each step. Reaching the heights of the wide, long and solid top board, we slowly make our way to the edge before peeping over to see the blue depths that lurk below. Taking a deep breath, we'll leap into the air seemly weightless for a moment, before gravity kicks in and launches us into the cold blue depths.

Crunchy crisps and dip! Another retro movie weekend is upon us. Let's go!
With a bump and a flick, we're plugging back in after many years one of our oldest friends, our first game console. Feeling some of the excitement we first experience upon first ever playing on our shiny new system back in the day, we'll dust off the bold and clunky hardware which still feels so familiar in our hands before loading up our game of choice. With each load screen, we find our childhood memories loading into our minds as we dive in, as if nothing had changed around us.

Cheese and crackers! Another retro movie weekend is here and... well... let's dive in!
Saddling up and gripping the bars, we're setting off into the forest with our trusty bike for some adventure and adrenaline. Setting off down a local trail, we'll masterfully jump, duck and weave our way through the wilderness as we let gravity pull us ever closer to our final destination. Hitting our final turn like a surfer turning on a wave, we'll rejoice in our success, pause for a moment then think... let's do that again!
Have a happy retro weekend!

Captain's hat! It's only the bloomin' weekend again!
Boarding passes and passports at the ready, we find ourselves in a departure lounge ready and waiting to be launched to far and distant lands with our fellow passengers. We'll check in our heavy bags before lining up to eagerly board our flight, find our seat and buckle up. We'll pay close attention to the safety briefing like catching a pinnacle moment in a top action film. Just like some of our favourite titles, we'll be quickly blasted into another world where anything is possible and we can escape the low lights of our old lives, if just for a moment.

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!
