Hi, this is Steve. On June 29th at 3pm Pacific Time, John and I logged on to the first

ever meeting of the Cinefiles Advisory Board. Now we knew the board was made up of some

of our most loyal and active fans, but we didn't know just how much fun and how useful

our conversation was going to be. One of the questions we asked was where they thought

the show should go after our recent journey into films about soldiers and war. The truth

is, I can't remember which one of our board members suggested Mary Poppins, but the

moment it came out of their mouth, the entire advisory board, including me and John, were

all for it. After all, Mary Poppins is an absolutely incredible film as impressive in its

own way as bridge on the River Quai. The technical mastery, incredible songs, wonderful designs,

and fantastic performances, particularly from Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, make this

an indelible cinematic experience from beginning to end. And yes, we do discuss Dick

Van Dyke's atrocious Cockney accent. So, if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend

Jolly Holiday at our website, Cinefiles.net, where you can buy or stream Mary Poppins along

with every other movie we've ever reviewed. And if you're supporting the show on patreon.com

slash the Cinefiles, we just released our August schedule and a brand new Cinefiles short

on our experience at film festivals, both as fans and as an actor and filmmaker. So that's

Film Festivals on Patreon and Mary Poppins, part one, this Friday on the Cinefiles.
