    Pollyanna

    Pollyanna

    This week the society watches the 1960 Disney classic Pollyanna, directed by David Swift and starring Jane Wyman, Moochie, and the debut of podcast favorite Hayley Mills in the title role.  Upset about how your life is going?  Maybe refraction can help!  Still upset about how your life is going?  Maybe someone else's tragedy will help! The only way to find out is to listen in as our society chews on this full meal of a motion picture.

    Treasure of Matecumbe

    Treasure of Matecumbe

    This week the society explores the intrigue of the Deep South in 1976's Treasure of Matecumbe, directed by Vincent McEveety and starring Robert Foxworth, Joan Hackett, and Peter Ustinov.   Hey, when I said Deep South, did it send a shiver down your spine?  Perhaps thinking of Polynesian war masks?  Glaring dancing ruffians?  Oh.... me neither.   Anyway, join us as we watch this very unique set of events and perils, and see a little vintage Discovery Island along the way....

    Cool Runnings

    This week the society is back as we watch the 1993 film Cool Runnings, directed by Jon Turteltaub and starring John Candy, Leon, and Doug E. Doug.  Join us as we recall fond memories of the Calvary Olympics, Western Steer restaurants, and hear Andy's opinions on line dancing (spoiler: he LOVES it!).

    The Parent Trap

    The Parent Trap

    This week the society watches the Disney classic The Parent Trap from 1961, written and directed by David Swift and starring the incomparable Hayley Mills, Maureen O'Hara, and Brian Keith.  Join us as we explore many things, but mostly talking about our admiration for Maureen O'Hara, Brian Keith, and the ranch house in this film.  Will this one get a spot securely in our all-time top 10?  Grab two (or more) fingers of bourbon, have a seat, and listen to find out!

    Muppet Treasure Island

    Muppet Treasure Island

    This week the society returns to the high seas with 1996's Muppet Treasure Island, directed by Brian Henson and David Lane, and starring Tim Curry, Billy Connolly, and Jennifer Saunders.  See what happens when our friends the Muppets take on another literary classic, and one that we know well with the John Louis Stevenson classic.   It's the perfect cure for your post-holiday CABIN FEVER!

    One Magic Christmas

    One Magic Christmas

    Happy Holidays to you and yours from all of us at the Medfield College Film Society!  This week the society celebrates the holidays by being thankful for not having tragic lives and watching 1985's One Magic Christmas, a movie that lives innocently enough on Disney Plus.  Ever wonder what it would be like if everything was wrenched away from you in the cold tundra of Ontario?  Well, if you don't want to find out, you'd better believe in Santa.  If you do want to find out, check out this film with us.

A great podcast

Though I am the son of Robert I will try not to be biased but sometimes I will find myself laughing out loud. They can make a movie that’s supposed to be dark really funny and find something in it to make fun of. My favorite is old Yeller which is really sad if you’ve never seen it before, but you will never suspect it to be dark if you listen to the podcast first.

A great Disney movie podcast.

This podcast is like a book club with friends, except it is for Disney movies and they can’t hear your comments. Like a book club, it may give you a reason to discover a new favorite or to revisit an old favorite that you haven’t seen in a while. 99% of the films will be on Disney plus, so if you have that, you are covered.

Just listen to the podcast, Travis.

Live action lives on

My VCR died ☹️
Please do Midnight Madness. It’s quite lovable and rewatchable. With the Dr Pepper guy.
