The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 66
Danteâs Inferno! the weekend starts now
So in the deepest darkest corner of a dimly lit rickety old wooden shack by the side of a book shelf full of dusty old paper backs with dog eared pages, let us be your small yet slightly imposing house spider, as we spin for you a web of mega cinematic fortitude so we can catch fat, juicy retro movie moments then we'll scurry away and bask in the celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Blogger Round Up: Our Latest Fashion Blog Features
As you may or may not know, we really lurrrve working with blogs and bloggers who really help us to showcase our designs by taking something from the site and transforming it into something simply amazing of their own! Each blogger has their own style, ideas and of course personality which is so great for us as we can see just how you guys might style up our creations and really express yourslves.
One thing we've learnt over our many experiences with some simply amazing fashion bloggers is just how versatile a humble tee shirt is! We've seen designs look as just at home in a rocky/ grunge look as they are in a more geektastic style. We're always amazed at just how people with a keen eye see our designs and the looks they can create around them.
To show you guys just what we mean, we thought we would take a quick look back and showcase some of our latest blog features. Let's dive in!
Amy has got an splendid sense of style and we love the rock chick vibe she pulls together with our awesome Joy Division t-shirt, leather skirt, top knot and sunnies on her blog, 'The Little Magpie'!
The Cube Cool Cars Event 2013
We love cars here at Truffleshuffle, but you know what we love more? Retro cars! Cars from Television and Movies do get us all revved up and ready for action in classic 80s style. Who here has dreamt of driving The A Team van? (Move over B.A, let me drive!) Or thinking up ways to catch the bad guys whilst in The Mystery Machine? We sure have! Well if youâre in Birmingham next Tuesday (27th) and you love cars then you might not want to miss this event.
The Cube - Birminghamâs iconic landmark will be welcoming 8 of the coolest (and they are pretty cool) cars on Tuesday 27th August (tomorrow!) from 2-6pm.
Cars such as The A Team Van, The 1966 Batmobile, The General Lee, The Ghostbusters car and The Mystery Machine will be there. Ah sounds AMAZING or what!
Whilst you wonât be able to drive the cars (sorry all you wannaB.A's) you can have your picture taken with them. Maybe get your photo taken whilst wearing one of our cool retro tees ay? *nudge nudge wink wink *
The cars will be in Birmingham on Tuesday to promote The Cubeâs fully automated car park. Have you seen how it works? Robot parking at itâs finest which is pretty darn cool.
The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 65
Yoinks! It's weekend time hurray!
So, overlooking a scrap heap full of old rusting spring beds, corrugated iron roofing and crushed up blocks of unrecognisable cars. Let us be your Iron Giant, standing higher than your Nanaâs house with a head bigger than a citron 2cv with eyes that shoot beams of light like Mulder and Scully's torches from the X-Files and hands like J.C.B diggers. Let's sift through the wreckage for retro movie mayhem so we can chomp down on great metal chunks of cinematic greatness to fill our robotic hunger for celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!
SATURDAY 25th August
Problem Child (1990) ITV London 1:25pm-3:00pm (1 hour 35 minutes)
