    Christmas at Walt Disney World (1978)

    Buckle of folks.  This one is not for the faint of heart.  You think this sounds like a walk in the park?  This is where the Ron Miller era gets truly upsetting.  Have a nice glass of sour milk for your holiday season, but fear not - we all had to watch this! You can find this on YouTube if you have the gumption.  If you don't, you can still listen to us talk about it.

    Something Wicked This Way Comes

    This week the society looks within the heart of darkness while watching the 1983 Ron Miller Joint Something Wicked This Way Comes, directed by Jack Clayton and written by Ray Bradbury.  You ever wonder what would happen if the haunted circus came to town?  Worry no longer! But... I'm so.... old.... Follow us @medfieldfilm for the latest updates

    The Black Cauldron

    This week, the society returns to discuss a legendary film about a legendary piece of cookware: THE BLACK CAULDRON! Relive your favorite Sierra game of the 1980s, Jeffrey Katzenberg's naivite, grizzled animators, and more as we delve into the history of this hinge point for Walt Disney animation, and cult classic.  Be sure to pack plenty of munchins and crunchins.

    Return to Oz

    This week, the society tackles the 1985 trauma vehicle Return to Oz, a movie that not only features a Jack O'Lantern, but is so utterly spooky and terrifying that it may leave residue over several Halloweens!  There are certainly a lot of tricks from director Walter Murch, but are there treats?  You will have to listen to find out!

    Herbie Goes Bananas.... AGAIN

    This week THE GANG (the esteemed society) kicks off Season 7 with a sensory tickle by jumping into the deep end of Ron Miller's milieu with rewatching Herbie Goes Bananas, what once ended our journey through the Herbie Cinematic Universe in Season 2.  We are rewatching to see - have we been corrupted?  Do we like it more?  Has the bar been lowered?   Gentlefolk, start your engines, it's SEASON 7 of the Medfield College Film Society!

    Sunday Night Special: The Love Bug (1997)

    Remember the late 90s?  Sure, we all do.  But while you may have been hanging out at Ruby Tuesday's or Outback Steakhouse, others were watching made for TV movies that reboot classic franchises.  Disney was just starting REBOOT MANIA in the 90s, and the Herbie franchise was due.  So it is that we celebrate the summer with 1997's made-for-TV movie The Love Bug, directed by Peyton Reed and staring Bruce Campbell, John Hannah, Alexandra Wentworth, and MYSTERY GUEST STAR.  Who is it? Why, you just have to stay tuned. Spicier than a Bloomin' Onion's sauce, classier than soup and quiche, it's The Love Bug!   Back to the world of Herbie we go!
