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.

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

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!
