The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 246
Great white Shark! Another retro movie weekend has appeared and we're here to take it on like a monster from the depths!
Like one of the biggest, oldest and battle-scared Sharks roaming the deep blue, we find ourselves yet again on the hunt for the best and most rewarding retro movies. Sensing even the smallest of action, movement and drama, we'll begin to home in on our next VHS victim (showing our age) as we brace to take them on in style with a leap and a splash. Bellies full of retro awesomeness, we will return to the depths until next time.
Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 246

Not All Heroes Wear Capes! Our Top REAL Superhero Dads...
With Father's Day juuuust around the corner (June 18th... have we mentioned our Father's Day Gift guide yet??), we've been chatting, shopping, writing and all other things Dad lately!
One thing we've been picking up on a lot lately as a result is that, as kids, maybe even as adults, many children believe their own dads are the real superheroes of the world. They are the strongest, fastest, best at everything and no one else will convince you otherwise. Right? We think all good dads are real superheroes, and to show this we've compiled some of our favourite real-life superhero moments from some amazing Dads. Enjoy!
Spidey senses are tingling...
Legends has it, some dads were raised in the wild in the snowy mountains and left to fend for themselves. This man of nature has developed a sharp eye with reactions to rival a racing snake...
Father's Day gift? As you can see, this Dads Spidey senses are as fine-tuned as a string quartet giving him the ability to sense danger and react in the nick of time. Surely our Spider-Man merchandise is the ONLY gift for this dad.
Classic Retro Dads - Where are They Now?
As you maaaay or may not (perhaps!) or spotted, Father's Day 2017 edition is fast approaching and things here at Truffle Towers are starting to get pretty dad-tastic!
With loads of us franticly searching the shops and the cyberweb for the newest, coolest and most perfectest Father's Day Gifts in all the land to really spoil our old man this year, it's safe to say we've had the dad word spinning in our brains. Inspired by all the dad talk and goings on, we thought we would take some time to look back at some of our favourite dads (we've said dad to much already huh) from the big and small screens, see what they've been up to and perhaps find out where they are now.
Let's jump in!
Henry Jones Sr. (Sean Connery) - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Professor of medieval literature, expert on Grail lore, the father of archaeologist Indiana Jones, we're pretty sure most people will know and love Jones Sr. Somewhat of a .....difficult so and so, it's hard to imagine anyone other than professional Scotsman Sean Connery donning his trusty hat and snatching his faithful umbrella. Now, we're not saying him and Indie had the best father and son relationship to start with, but it's safe to say their adventures together sure bring them closer and all with a touch of whit and good old fashioned competition.
So, what's he be up to? Turns out.... A LOT! Starring in such films as (deep breath); The Hunt for Red October, Just Cause, The Rock, Entrapment, and Finding Forrester. Not bed eh! It's safe to say Sean has had a very fruitful career and is certainly more than a household name. Retired from the big screen, he is currently living in Kranidi, Greece where he can spend time with family and friends including fellow movie star Michael Caine.
