Tyler and Jordie Schwartz started their business of selling retro toys and gifts in 2007 as the Canadian Leg Lamp Company. The idea came after shooting their fan film “Road Trip for Ralphie,” an homage to the kid from the 1983 classic, “A Christmas Story.”Next they introduced Moose Mugs from “National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation” (1989). Seventeen years later, they've branched out to all kinds of retro goodies, including toys, candy, books, games, ugly sweaters and much more.You'll find them all packed inside their Oakville store, or on-line at retrofestive.ca. Thanks to the Schwartz's, you'll also find these nostalgic Christmas treats at the TV on Film Party screenings I've been hosting at The Westdale theatre in Hamilton. Awarded as TV trivia prizes, they make the perfect treats for fans who know all about A Charlie Brown Christmas, The Grinch and Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer.Tyler talks about how these retro reminders bring us back to an innocent time spent growing up in front of the TV. Hear him this week on brioux.tv: the podcast.

 Can you actually make a Christmas TV-movie for $1.5 million Canadian?Resourceful Robert Vaughn can and did. The Ontario-based director shot the charming holiday romance "Christmas Movie Magic." It is one of 24 new seasonal movie premieres streaming this month on Super Channel Heart & Home (one of our sponsors here at brioux.tv the podcast).The film stars Holly Deveaux (Spun Out) and Drew Seeley and much of it takes place around one of my favourite neighbourhood cinemas, The Westdale in Hamilton, Ont.It's about a reporter (played by Deveaux) who looks into a mystery in a small town:  a leading man comes north in the '50s to make a "White Christmas" style classic. A local lady captures his heart. Who was she and why didn't they remain a couple? "Christmas Movie Magic" will also air on Lifetime in th US.Vaughn -- no relation to the actor who played Napoleon Solo in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. back in the '60s -- is already busy shooting his next holiday movie in southern Ontario and has another out this month titled, "The Enchanted Christmas Cake."Hear how the producer-director became part of the prolific holiday movie machine that has sprung up all across Canada. 

Thank you to this week's sponsor Best Fiends. Download today at the Apple App store or Google Play. While at Westdale she spoke with friends and was last seen at a jewelry store around 9 pm. Little did her friends know this would be the last time they'd see Michelle alive. In 2006, a cold case investigator discovered unidentified blood, presumably belonging to the killer, while he was reviewing case files. A DNA profile was developed from evidence and was entered into CODIS, without any luck. It would be another decade plus before the Martinko family would have answers.

The Westdale has reinvented its programming due to the pandemic. How is the independent theatre doing, and what's in store for reopening in Stage 3? Guests:Rob McCann, of The WestdaleNeal Miller, of The Westdale

I was curious how this pandemic is effecting our local cinemas, so I chatted with Dan Fournier, General Manager of the Westdale Theatre, to find out how they are adapting, keeping film fans connected, and staying engaged with the Hamilton community.  The Westdale screens art and indie films, and provides an intimate cultural space for public performances and exhibitions.  It was Hamilton's first theatre, in 1935, and went through a major renovation before reopening in 2019.  I recorded a Skype call with Dan, so excuse the audio quality.  You can find film clubs to join, Live Facebook talks, and other virtual events at thewestdale.ca Theme music: chrisaltmann.com Graphic design: balladcreative.ca Connect with me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram
