The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 153
Stuffed crust! It's only the weekend again....yep really!
Like an keen and greatly experienced pizza chef working their magic before the super-hot oven, we find ourselves once again with a whole weekends worth of retro-tastic movie toppings to select from to help layer up and bake our perfect weekend. We'll pop on some spicy romance, some slithers of thickly cut and perfectly aged plot, a dash of action and of course plenty of cheese before nicely toasting in the oven. We'll be left feeling full but ever so replete after stuffing ourselves on some of the best this weekend has to offer.
Have a happy retro weekend.
