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.

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!

The Society is back for fall semester! STUDY HARD!  We're in the lab again with the one and only Dexter Riley again this week with the 1972 Medfield comedy Now You See Him, Now You Don't, directed by Robert Butler and starring the one and only Kurt Russell.  Brace for impact, it's MILLER TIME!

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!

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!

You ever wonder what happened to Ned Brainard?  What about Henry Crawford?  No?  Well you'll find out anyway in this 1989 made for TV movie starring hatted Harry Anderson.  Directed by Robert Scheerer and Bob Sweeney, there's action left and right in this thriller that also stars Ed Begley Jr.  Come celebrate summer and science with us!

Well, here it is... the end of season six, and THIS STONE WILL BE TOUCHED!  If anyone said we wouldn't do it, they can GO SUCK AN EGG!  Richard.  Tracy.  Be there first, like some of us almost were.  Grab your tommy gun (and clue) and join us!

What the heck are we doing doing a whole season on Touchstone films? .... or pictures.... OR WHATEVER!  This week, join us as we take a look at 1986's boomer outing Down and Out in Beverly Hills, directed by Paul Mazursky and starring Richard Dreyfuss, Nick Nolte, and the Divine Miss M Bette Midler herself!  

Michael Eisner Loved it!  Will we?  And more importantly, will YOU?

These are the times that try our souls....

This week the society stays within the Touchstone Pictures vault as this season winds down with 1998's Rushmore, directed by Wes Anderson and starring Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, and Olivia Williams.  Join us as we head off for prep school, then public school, and remember characters in our own youth who favor the characters in this movie.  Except for the private school, we've lived it!  And the music is great!

This week the society continues through the world of Touchstone Pictures with 2000's High Fidelity, directed by Stephen Frears and starring John Cusack.  Sit back and let these grand tunes guide you through all the dysfunction you can bear and more - and don't forget the Jack Black!  Are these guys ever going to do Disney movies again?!
