moochie

A diamond is a boy's best friend! So says the subtitle of this 1959 Disney made-for-TV sports CLASSIC the society watches for their second Summer movie.  Moochie of the Little League, directed by William Beaudine and starring Kevin "Moochie" Corcoran and Alan "The Skipper" Hale may not have found life in our VHS collections growing up, but the character of Moochie always has a seat at the MCFS table.  Join us as we witness the mercurial rise of Moochie's athletic career and subsequent decline of his newspaper business, along with a real drag of a family and a hearty advocate in his little lady friend.  It's Moochie! Woweeee!

This week the society is watching a true Disney classic, the 1959 madcap comedy The Shaggy Dog, directed by Charles Barton and starring Fred MacMurray, the late great Tommy Kirk, and Kevin Corcoran as MOOCHIE!  Join us as we discuss the many moods of Moochie and discover what happens when a curse catches the son of a noted dog hater.  Prepare yourself for intrigue, hilarity, and some discomfort surrounding gender norms.  Make sure you bring your best eccentric museum curator along to help guide you through this - only they know all the rules of ancient curses...

This week the society discusses the 1957 Disney classic Old Yeller, directed by Robert Stevenson and starring Fess Parker, Dorothy McGuire, Tommy Kirk, Kevin "Moochie" Corcoran, and Spike in the titular role.  Join us as we settle the frontier with the help of our domesticated friends through thick and thin, hoping to tame the wilderness before we ourselves are tamed by it. Be sure to bring your rugged individualism, as well as a good rope, some even better cornbread, and maybe some tissues.

Happy New Year, and welcome back to another episode of the Medfield College Film Society! This week, the society discusses the 1960 Disney classic Swiss Family Robinson, directed by Ken Annakin and starring John Mills, Dorothy McGuire, and MOOCHIE as himself. Join us as we land on a deserted island and enjoy nature's bounty.... and peril.  Please pack your ship full of furniture and finery (and gunpowder), but make sure to pack your pirate alarm!
