We haven't been shy about our general malaise toward Disney's modern predilection for remakes and sequels that feel a bit creatively bankrupt. So imagine our surprise when we watched one of their first ever sequels, SAVAGE SAM, and discovered it's not necessarily a new trend. Ostensibly a sequel to the classic trauma vehicle Old Yeller, this movie is less a fraught coming-of-age tale about a boy and his dog and more a movie where Kevin Corcoran hurls rocks at people and animals before turning into a Disney-fied version of The Searchers.
Show Notes: November is Eye Donation Month, and we are celebrating with two guests to this episode. First, Eye Bank Association of America's President and CEO, Kevin Corcoran joins the conversation to detail how COVID has impacted eye donation and transplantation in the last year.

Finally, we chat about tips for accepting help and honor hero Brenda Myers.
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. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @medfieldfilm for the latest updates.

Kevin Corcoran as younger son “Moochie”, and Tommy Kirk as the lead, “Wilby”. Wilby Daniels is an awkward teenage inventor that seems to be capable of financing his best friend “Buzz”’s romantic life, but has not been able to date himself. He wants to change this when he and Buzz both catch sight of their new French neighbor Francesca, - Francesca needs to go to the local museum, so Buzz and Wilby trip over themselves to take her. While at the museum, they split up, and Wilby runs into Dr. Plumcutt, a former customer on his paper route. Dr. Plumcutt tells Wilby all about the Borgia family, their sinister reputation, and their secret dog magic. Afterward, Wilby knocks over a display of antique jewelry, only to realize that he has stolen, ahem, “acquired” a Borgia ring and smuggled it out of the museum in the cuff of his pants. Wilby reads the inscription on the ring aloud and inadvertently turns himself into a dog - which happens to be identical to Francesca’s “Bratislavan sheepdog”, Chiffon. Wilby returns to Dr. Plumcutt at the museum, who takes talking to a dog in impressive stride, and basically is told there isn’t anything he can do except perhaps an act of bravery to break the curse. Wilby switches uncontrollably back and forth between dog and boy, and manages to cause mayhem at a dance and discover a spy ring trying to steal government secrets led by none other than Francesca’s adoptive father. Through another long series of events, and the police refusing to listen to the Daniels family about the spies, and Wilby, in dog form, steals Buzz’s car and leads the police to the harbor, where the spies are escaping with Francesca in tow. Wilby tries to board the boat himself to stop them, but Francesca is knocked into the water and dog-Wilby leaps into the water and drags her to safety, breaking the curse (although no one actually realizes it, and all credit is given to Chiffon). Wilby’s dog-hating father is also commended for his role in the discovery of the spy ring, and is photographed with Chiffon for the paper - for an article about Chiffon being given a medal for bravery. ● Trivia○ The initial release of The Shaggy Dog grossed more than $9 million on a budget of less than $1 million – an almost unprecedented return on a film investment, making it more profitable than Ben-Hur, released the same year.○ This movie has been remade a few times - a 1994 TV version featuring Scott Weinger and Ed Begley Jr, which kept the same general story intact, and the aforementioned 2006 horror movie version featuring Tim Allen○ “Shaggy” was actually an Old English Sheepdog named Sam - he was a pet, and was recommended for the role by his obedience trainer, William Koehler, who trained many animals for Disney movies, including The Incredible Journey, That Darn Cat, and The Ugly Dachshund.○ Sam was prepared for the car chase scene by using rubber bands to keep his hair out of his eyes and running him around in a wheel barrow, gradually increasing the intensity and speed as he got comfortable with the situation. A custom seat was made for Sam, with fur-covered “mittens” attached to the steering wheel, and a matching fur-covered seatbelt that blended in with his body.○ Some of the stunts, such as jumping off of the boat were done by a child or a little person in a sheepdog suit. (The child was Johnny Kirk, Tommy Kirk’s little brother)○ Sam accidentally stepped onto Tim Considine’s eye during filming, and scratched it.● Segment: News/Announcements “The Newsies Banner”○ Not a real surprise, but Disney release windows are not expected to vary after the release of Disney+○ Disney released a TON of content that is going to be available on Disney+○ Maleficent: Mistress of Evil scheduled for release on October 18, 2019● Segment: Whosits and Whatsits Galore○ Disney Trivia● Segment: Top 4 Ranking “Let’s get down to business” ○ Top 4 Most Powerful Mages○ 1.

Andrew Dice Clay is one of the few comics to last three decades on his own highly controversial terms - and he's about to make headlines again on a national tour with the equally outrageous Roseanne. He talks with the guys about that sure-to-be-wild tour, as well as what it's taken to stay on top in the comedy biz for so long, his surprisingly acclaimed dramatic acting career and how he scored the role of Lady Gaga's father in "A Star Is Born" over Robert DeNiro and Ray Liotta. Antonio and Carl plus guest host Kevin Corcoran have some laughs over the Colin Kaepernick/Nike Betsy Ross shoe controversy, consider whether they'd give their 5-year old kid CBD oil, and freak out over what happened to a guy who died the grossest imaginable death after eating a gecko on a dare. Man Up and listen!

Calvin College LOFT, Apr 30, 2017
First guest on the Oregon side - Jim Paradis. There’s only fog in California. Kevin Corcoran’s final movie. Another waste of a DVD. Who knew that credit cards were a thing in this time. The worst employee causes problem. Never open a tiger cage. Run away, don’t just watch. Incorrect logic to connect the dots. A man in a suit who is there. Supply and demand. Of all the people to get killed, he was the right one. Wonderful World of Disney. Dad brings up the same topic again like Melissa from Incredible Journey. Hot potato strategy and Veep. King of the Jungle. Amazon Echo Dot - Alexa jumps into the conversation. Useless pair’s decision making. Dad misses the whole fog plot. Everyone is hunting for things (except the tiger). Save the tiger song. Game - Weird Protests. If you’re going to protest, have good signage. Julie misses the point. Buy a steak but not for yourself. Dad throwing a mattress on top of Melissa. Annoying children in restaurants. Only in it for the photos. They don’t listen to the expert. Phil and Amanda root against Julie. She had it coming, she only had herself to blame. Mangled shoulder but only one tissue. Good protests can help. Not even trivia - just fun facts. Next episode - The Misadventures of Merlin Jones
We didn’t play favorites, so no guests this week! Shipwrecked family wants to be on HGTV. Melissa’s errant text about this episode. Climbing trees as children. Some light cartography. Cherith Cutestory and maritime law. We give our required reading and watching list. Amanda hates Ernst. Francis is a liability. What’s the business model behind being a pirate? Dogs love to save Kevin Corcoran. My son is a total train wreck. Amanda hates that I call her Ernst. Donkey Kong interlude. Game – Survivor trivia. Fantasy Football – Fantasy Survivor. John Cochran’s deleted tweets. “We won’t care what age they are”. Fritz/Ernst are basically Hank/Dean from Venture Bros. Arya Stark and Mulan are much better as disguising. “We’ll be ready to fight but not too proud to hide”. The most beautiful girl (in the room). Love triangle. Pokemon race. Styrofoam boulders. Like some other people we know Swiss Family Robinson attraction at Disney. Next episode - One Hundred and One Dalmatians.
No one asked for it, but our sister Melissa is back! Back to black and white. Why does the mailman hate dogs? Broad City at the DMV. You small town hicks! Tommy Kirk and Kevin Corcoran are back! I’d rather congratulate dogs than people. Shooting a missile through the house. Phil’s Failure to launch (a missile). The $7 date. This isn’t how dating works. If a statue is moving, just leave. Don’t worry about old knot-head. I like to stop at the duty free shop. Our problems with this shape shifting situation. The dog was the best actor in the movie. Amanda as Dorothy for a dance recital. I can play harmonica, look at that advertisement! Game – Finding our dog names. Buzz has two dates. If you grab a paw instead of a hand, you’d know. Most complicated plot for no reason. Melissa used to pretend to be a dog. How would you realize you’re not still fighting a dog? The end goes against what the entire movie taught us. I like you better as a dog than a brother. Looking at puppy pictures. Kids with dogs Instagram account. Pic collage with us and our pets. Next episode - Darby O’Gill and the Little People.
First return guest, our sister, Melissa Paradis! Our guest is far behind in listening to the podcast. Spoiler alerts right at the beginning. Who is this kid and why? Explaining things to children is difficult. One money versus five monies. Always have a frog in your pocket. Zuko holding Phil’s Pikachu stuffed animal. Meat entrapment plan. In the world of bad ideas, trapping a baby bear is number one. Travis is a sociopath. We went to a taping of the game show “That’s My Dog”. “I’ll milk you if I have to break every bone in your body” – you’re doing it wrong. Game – Old Yeller theme song lyrics. Team Rocket interlude. Old Yeller is the best doggone dog in the west and Zuko is the best in the east. The Rifleman is in this movie. Kevin Corcoran looks different 60 years later. Terrible trade. Beans from Even Stevens. Pig fishin’. Not relevant, moving on! What’s further Heaven or Kansas? Phoebe from Friends thinks the movie ends when Yeller saves the day. Oh look, Dad’s home! Sometimes life sucks. Travis doesn’t just do normal things. Young Yeller! Envisioning what an Old Yeller attraction would look like. Give ‘em a chance (only applies to dogs). Stuffing the ballot box. Next episode – The Light in the Forest

Inside The Mouse Castle: Disney News, Information and Commentary
We've got plenty of movie news for you this week Inside The Mouse Castle. Marvel announced Ant-Man, closing in on $500 million at the box office worldwide, will get a summer tent pole sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp, in 2018. That move will bump Black Panther to a February 2018 release. Meanwhile, Captain Marvel will move from a primo holiday season release in 2018 to a less showy March 2019 premiere. It's clear Marvel is hedging its bets on untested characters while giving the now-proven Ant-Man a second shot at the summer spotlight. Over at Pixar, our hopes for a sooner-than-later Incredibles sequel have been dashed. Incredibles 2, written and directed by Brad Bird, won't see daylight until summer 2019. Toy Story 4, the sequel no one expected, will hit theaters in June 2018. That moves the sequel no one wants, Cars 3, to summer 2017. After next month's The Good Dinosaur, the lone non-sequel in the mix, the Lee Unkrich-directed Coco, is slated for November 2017. Here's what else Tim and Anthony are checking out this week: Star Wars: The Force Awakens will have its world premiere in Los Angeles on December 14 ahead of its wide release in the U.S. on December 18. Surprise, surprise, that's all we know for now. No specific venue has been announced yet. Fourteen year-old native Hawaiian Auli'i Cravalho will voice the title character in Walt Disney Animation Studios' Moana, opening in U.S. theaters November 23, 2016. She's cute. We like her. And we can't wait to see the John Musker/Ron Clements-directed Polynesian adventure. Disney is working on a live-action flick based on Cruella de Vil. Didn't Glenn Close do this already? Twice? Pixar's Inside Out arrives on Digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere on Tuesday. It'll hit Blu-ray on November 3. The movie is awesome, but the appeal of catching it on video is to see Riley's First Date?, the super-funny short cartoon about how Riley's parents react when a boy shows up at the door. Rest in peace, Kevin Corcoran. The former child star and Disney Legend passed away last week at the age of 66. He made multiple TV appearances on the original Mickey Mouse Club as the annoying, but fun-loving character Moochie. He also appeared in numerous Disney films including Old Yeller, The Swiss Family Robinson and Toby Tyler. Corcoran gave up acting as a child and went on to have a successful career as a producer/director in television and film. Guests were stranded more than two hours Saturday when a Monorail train broke down at Walt Disney World between the Magic Kingdom and the Contemporary Resort. All passengers were eventually rescued and no injuries were reported. Next March, Disney Infinity will launch Marvel Battlegrounds, a play set where up to four super heroes can do battle with each other against a backdrop of villainous exploitation by Loki and Ultron.

We share some thoughts from Disney expert Jeff Kurtti, and share our own reactions to the recent annual pass price increases at the Disney parks. Plus, Mousetalgia reports on Halloween Time - the tricks, the treats, and the differences from years prior. From Pumpkin Flan to Banana Fritters, we discuss which seasonal treats were worth trying, and which didn't pass Kristen's taste test. From fall-flavored drinks to Halloween-themed baked goods, Kristen reports on the culinary offerings, including the Mystical Spirits Dinner at the Blue Bayou restaurant during Mickey's Halloween Party, which had organizational challenges. Does the price point work? Kristen details the food, the entertainment, and tells whether or not the chaotic check-in experience ruined the night. Also - goat adoptions, easy Halloween costumes, a Cadaver Dans performance... and is Pop Secret a not-so-secret flop?

“You gave me my life back!” When that’s a phrase consistently uttered by the people you serve, you know you’re doing something wonderful. Today we had the opportunity to speak with Kevin Corcoran of the Eye Bank Association of America -- an organization with the mission of restoring sight to people who have lost, or are losing, their vision. While uniting and accrediting all Eye Banks across the U.S., the association has also been helping to set up similar facilities around the world. And no, their offices are not filled with eyeballs in little jars! Kevin Corcoran is an association executive who has spent most of his career helping to turn around struggling organizations. Now, as the CEO of the Eye Bank Association of America, he’s working to give individuals a second chance at life by restoring their sight. The members of the Eye Bank Association of America restore the sight of over 75,000 people each year through corneal transplantation.
