The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown – 299!
Great balls of fire! With another short week done, it's quickly time once again to kick back and check in with some of our favourite characters ever to hit the screen. Covering action, comedy and even a touch of romance (be rude not to right?), sit back and enjoy out latest top picks of classic retro films heading your way this weekend. Enjoy!
SATURDAY 1st September
Titanic (1997) 3:05pm-6:50pm
A party of explorers studying the sunken remains of the famous liner meets an elderly woman who was a passenger on the ill-fated maiden voyage. She recounts how she boarded the ship while on the brink of being forced into marriage by her family, and was stopped from killing herself by a penniless artist. She fell in love with her saviour, but the disaster on the horizon meant their time together was doomed to be short. James Cameron's Oscar-winning romantic drama, starring Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Billy Zane, Kathy Bates and Bill Paxton.

SATURDAY 23rd NOVEMBER
Cocoon (1985) Film4 2:50pm-5:05pm (2 hours 15 minutes)
We love TruffleShuffle tees just as much as you do!
Working for the biggest online retailer of cool t-shirts, we see our fair share of amazing tees hit the shelves...! But which ones have stuck out? Do we have a favourite..and why do we love them so much? I've grabbed 10 minutes with a few of my favourite TruffleShufflers and asked them about their fashion tee-ndencies while they've worked here, and what generally makes them tick when it comes to the world of retro! Enjoy!
First up is James, the designer for TruffleShuffle (he's the one responsible for all the cool t-shirts - so we should probably take 5 minutes to applaud his geniusness!)
Favourite t-shirt ever produced? - Old Skool Gamer T-Shirt. I've been a massive computer game fan since I was about 10, so to get the opportunity to design a T-Shirt featuring all my favourite consoles and controllers was a bit of a treat.
Favourite range you've ever designed? - Sesame Street is always really fun to work with, they've got such a versatile range of characters and we're always allowed to do quite weird and wonderful things with them. Whether we've got Elmo and the gang crossing Abbey Road, joining a rock group or even recreating the Trainspotting movie poster they always make it look cool!
What was your first t-shirt ever purchased from TruffleShuffle? - My first T-Shirt from TruffleShuffle was one featuring Pac-Man and one of the Ghosts taking over Tokyo, it managed to look retro and modern at the same time and is still one of the favourite items in my wardrobe! It came from Chunk clothing who are always experts in doing weird mash ups with their characters.
The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 62!
Funkasaurus!! Itâs only the Weekend again.
So as small huddle of comic book geeks congregate like cattle around stacks of elongated boxes piled high like mounds of hay, searching for the rarest most valuable chronicle, like a small team of nerdy archaeologists sifting through the dirt to find ancient artifacts.
Let us be your custodial comic book retailer, decked out in brown corduroy trousers and green lantern t-shirt with thick black rimmed glasses and a sarcastic wit to match. As we try to flog to you mega cinematic awesomeness, collections of retro movie magic and never before seen one of a kind nostalgic celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!
