Films and Fermentation-- Strong reviews. Stronger drinks.

Movies So Good We Wish We Could Unsee Them

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1965979/fan_mail/new] This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re talking about the movies we wish we could experience again for the very first time. You know the ones: the films that stunned us, broke us emotionally, melted our brains, or left us sitting silently through the credits questioning reality and possibly our life choices. From shocking twists to unforgettable finales, we’re revisiting those magical first-viewing moments that can never quite be recreated… no matter how many times we rewatch them. Expect nostalgia, heated debates, and at least one argument over whether seeing The Sixth Sense unspoiled was a once-in-a-generation cinematic experience. So grab a drink and join us as we desperately attempt to bottle that fleeting feeling known as “movie magic before the internet ruined everything.” 🎬🍻 Don’t forget to drop us an email at filmsandfermentation@gmail.com [filmsandfermentation@gmail.com] or visit linktree.com/filmsandfermentation [http://linktree.com/filmsandfermentation]  to find all our social media and podcast links.  Become part of the Films and Fermentation Family.  We are now part of the podnation media network on Roku.   We are an Independent Podcast, which means we are listener supported.  So please consider joining our Patreon for as little as a dollar a month to receive members only content.  https://fermentedfilms.creator-spring.com/ [https://fermentedfilms.creator-spring.com/] You can now text us at: 904-867-4466 Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/filmsandfermentation] A member of the Podnation Media Network. linktree.com/podnationpods Find all our social media and Podcast links at: linktree.com/filmsandfermentation Become part of the FIlms and Fermentation Family by supporting us on Patreon or buying our Merch at teespring.com CHEERS!

The Fellowship of the Drink (LotR: Fellowship of the Ring 25th Anniversary)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1965979/fan_mail/new] One podcast to rule them all, one podcast to find them, one podcast to bring them all and in the laughter bind them. This week, Films and Fermentation journeys back to Middle-earth to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the film that convinced an entire generation to suddenly care deeply about second breakfast and New Zealand geography. We’re diving into unforgettable performances, groundbreaking effects, behind-the-scenes chaos, and the moment fantasy movies stopped feeling like low-budget wizard conventions. Grab your lembas bread, pour yourself an ale worthy of the Green Dragon, and prepare for heated debates over whether Boromir deserved better. Just remember: if anyone in this episode offers you a suspicious gold ring, say no.

Pixar at 40!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1965979/fan_mail/new] This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re celebrating 40 years of Pixar—the studio that made us believe toys have feelings and that yes, we can cry over a imaginary friends disappearing. From groundbreaking animation in films like Toy Story to emotional gut-punches like Up and Inside Out, we’re diving into the movies that defined generations. We’ll revisit the classics, debate the best Pixar films, and ask how one studio keeps making us laugh, cry, and question our life choices in under two hours. Expect nostalgia, hot takes, and at least one emotional breakdown over a montage. So grab a drink and join us as we toast four decades of storytelling that somehow makes cartoons hit harder than reality. 🎬🍻 Don’t forget to drop us an email at filmsandfermentation@gmail.com [filmsandfermentation@gmail.com] or visit linktree.com/filmsandfermentation [http://linktree.com/filmsandfermentation]  to find all our social media and podcast links.  Become part of the Films and Fermentation Family.  We are now part of the podnation media network on Roku.   We are an Independent Podcast, which means we are listener supported.  So please consider joining our Patreon for as little as a dollar a month to receive members only content.

Sequel Wars! | Star Wars: A New Hope vs. Empire Strikes Back (featuring filmmaker Matt Brooks)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1965979/fan_mail/new] This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re jumping into a galaxy far, far away for another round of Sequel Wars, as we debate Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope vs. Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back. Is the original film’s perfect hero’s journey enough to hold off one of the most acclaimed sequels of all time, or does Empire’s darker tone and iconic twist give it the edge? We’re breaking down characters, story, world-building, and the moments that defined a generation of movie fans. From trench runs to lightsaber duels, no scene is safe from our completely unbiased (and absolutely biased) opinions. So grab a drink, trust your feelings, and get ready for the ultimate Star Wars showdown. 🍻🌌 Don’t forget to drop us an email at filmsandfermentation@gmail.com [filmsandfermentation@gmail.com] or visit linktree.com/filmsandfermentation [http://linktree.com/filmsandfermentation]  to find all our social media and podcast links.  Become part of the Films and Fermentation Family.  We are now part of the podnation media network on Roku.   We are an Independent Podcast, which means we are listener supported.  So please consider joining our Patreon for as little as a dollar a month to receive members only content.

Cinematic Shakespeare

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1965979/fan_mail/new] Welcome, dear friends, to Films and Fermentation, Where cinema meets wit and bold libation. This week we dare to tread where few have gone, Through Shakespeare’s tales now cast on silver screen. From star-cross’d lovers doomed by hasty hearts, To kings undone by whispers in the dark, We ask: doth Hollywood do justice fair, Or twist the Bard for box office delight? Fear not, for we shall mock and praise alike, With jest and ale, we romp with classics alight. 🎭🍻 Don’t forget to drop us an email at filmsandfermentation@gmail.com [filmsandfermentation@gmail.com] or visit linktree.com/filmsandfermentation [http://linktree.com/filmsandfermentation]  to find all our social media and podcast links.  Become part of the Films and Fermentation Family.  We are now part of the podnation media network on Roku.   We are an Independent Podcast, which means we are listener supported.  So please consider joining our Patreon for as little as a dollar a month to receive members only content.  Yes, Good gentles, prithee spare but a single dollar coin, that our humble revels of wit and wine may endure. Bestow thy modest patronage, and thou shalt earn our eternal thanks—and perchance fewer jokes forged in utter poverty. https://fermentedfilms.creator-spring.com/ [https://fermentedfilms.creator-spring.com/] You can now text us at: 904-867-4466 Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/filmsandfermentation] A member of the Podnation Media Network. linktree.com/podnationpods Find all our social media and Podcast links at: linktree.com/filmsandfermentation Become part of the FIlms and Fermentation Family by supporting us on Patreon or buying our Merch at teespring.com CHEERS!
