Festive Fans Unite! (send us a message)
The Festive Fans get knocked down by the stunning beauty of Latvia but get up again to enjoy the infectious spirit and irresistible charm of the 2022 film Circenisa Ziemassvetki. We travel to the Baltic region this episode to explore a place we knew little about beforehand, a fact but that was never going to keep us down. Latvia is Eastern Europe's best kept little secret -- with its Medieval architecture and castles, cobblestoned streets, sandy beaches, and lush forests. It has a rich cultural history of singing, dancing, and feasting for the holidays. It is easy to appreciate how such an appealing location can produce a movie brimming with true joy and a touch of real magic. It has the vital elements we require in our epic Christmas classics -- bank robbery, prison, and semi-pro hockey. Plus, Bruno Circenis is the iconic character we need today. He inspires us to believe that a bit of Santa Claus lives in all of us.
This is a film to remind us of the good times and a film to remind of the better times. So grab whatever you need -- a whiskey drink or a vodka drink -- and gather around to hear a story so entertaining, it was the most watched film during the Christmas season in Latvia and Sony Pictures has bought the rights for a remake.
And just so you know, afterward we'll be singin' when we're winnin' Danny Boy.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
