Some random updates

Dear Supporters 

1) New playlists: If you're stuck for something to watch over the holidays after The ЯRetro Show, I just added 3 new Playlists to the channel homepage!:

• Favourites: Vids we're proudest of
• Underrated: One we're fondest of but you might'vei missed!
• Nostalgic: Those special ones where we delve into the happiness of childhood nostalgia

2) Argos catalogues: For those from the UK who miss flicking through the Argos shop catalogue, or those from elsewhere who are intrigued by my various mentions of it on the channel, I've compiled a folder of PDF versions from the 80s for us all to flick through whenever we like. You'll find it here.

3) Memories: And finally, a funny thing happened the same day I finished editing that Back To The 80s video with all the nostalgic music in it, having spent that week going back into my memories and nostalgia rather deeply. 

That night we sat down and decided to watch Disenchanted on Disney+ for unrelated reasons, knowing nothing about the plot. But if you haven't seen it, I don't think it's a spoiler to say that the film actually centres around a "Memory Tree" (pictured, top) which I found rather poignant in relation to what I'd just finished doing. If you have kids the movie is a must watch. The puppies loved it!

And I know this is cheesy but the lyrics of the main title song "Love Power" somehow seemed to be tapping into the same emotions so many of you shared with me in the comments. I dare say the song's writers, Alan Menkin and Stephen Schwartz (geniuses) might've been tapping into their own nostalgia when they came up with it, or perhaps they went on the same journey revisiting their childhoods years ago when they were our age. I wonder what computers they had if any... Anyway, if you watch it or listen to the end titles song, let me know if you agree.

Wishing you warm, Enchanted, cheesy holidays 😉 (Is cheese a liquid?)
