Films and Fermentation-- Strong reviews. Stronger drinks.

Tribute to Rob Reiner

Send us a textThis week on Films and Fermentation, we’re raising a glass to the late, great Rob Reiner and pivoting our episode to celebrate his incredible legacy. Rather than dwell on the sadness of his passing, we’re focusing on the joy, heart, and belly laughs his movies poured into the world. From awkward first kisses to epic sword fights and “I’ll have what she’s having” moments, Reiner gave us scenes that basically live rent-free in our collective pop-culture brain. We’ll be revisiting his work as both actor and director, sharing our favorite stories, quotes, and behind-the-scenes tidbits. So grab a drink, settle in, and join us as we toast a storyteller who truly made movie magic.Don’t forget to drop us an email at filmsandfermentation@gmail.com or visit 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.  For just $1 you can have what she’s having. https://fermentedfilms.creator-spring.com/You can now text us at: 904-867-4466Support the showA 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!

Christmas Classics vs. their Modern Remakes

Send us a textThis week on Films and Fermentation, we’re stuffing your stocking with Christmas Classics vs. Their Remakes and seeing who ends up on the naughty list. We’re pitting the originals like It’s a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, and The Grinch against their shiny, CGI’d, studio-noted descendants. Are the remakes holiday miracles or cinematic lumps of coal wrapped in nostalgia bait? Expect eggnog-fueled rants, hot takes, and more bah-humbugs than a Scrooge reboot. So grab a Christmas beer, cozy up by the TV glow, and let the festive film fight begin!Don’t forget to drop us an email at filmsandfermentation@gmail.com or visit 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.  For just $1 on Patreon, Leo will consider watching “It’s a Wonderful Life,” for the first time.. https://fermentedfilms.creator-spring.com/You can now text us at: 904-867-4466Guiness Gift Box-- https://lastcrumb.com/products/last-crumb-x-guinness?variant=46932745355522Support the showA 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!

“A Charlie Brown Christmas at 60 & Films and Fermentation at 5: A Very Tipsy Blockhead Anniversary”

Send us a text"Tonight we’re raising a glass to two holiday underdogs: the scrappy little TV special that almost didn’t get made, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and the scrappy little podcast that also probably shouldn’t have, Films and Fermentation. Sixty years ago, Charlie Brown taught us the true meaning of Christmas; five years ago, we taught you the true meaning of “maybe that was one beer too many.” In this episode we’re unwrapping nostalgia, grooving to Vince Guaraldi in our heads, and asking why a cartoon from 1965 still hits us harder than most modern Christmas movies. We’ll talk sad little trees, jazz-fueled existential crises, and which Peanuts character each of us most resembles after three holiday ales. So grab your security blanket, spike your eggnog, and join us as we celebrate 60 years of Charlie Brown, 5 years of this ridiculous show, and at least 1 year too many of pretending we know what we’re talking about.”Don’t forget to drop us an email at filmsandfermentation@gmail.com or visit 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.  For just $1 on Patreon, you can help us upgrade Charlie Brown’s sad little tree, keep the beer fridge stocked, and maybe—just maybe—afford the rights to play three seconds of Vince Guaraldi’s  jazz score before we get sued. https://fermentedfilms.creator-spring.com/You can now text us at: 904-867-4466Support the showA 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!

Fake Movie Plots That Should Exist (and Real Ones You Won’t Believe Do)

Send us a text"This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re playing everyone’s favorite game: Real or Fake Movie Plots! Can you tell the difference between a legitimate Hollywood script and the fever dream of a screenwriter on a caffeine bender? From shark-filled tornados to time-traveling cheerleaders, we’re diving into the absurdity that makes us love movies even more. Grab a drink, take your best guess, and prepare to be baffled by what actually got greenlit. It’s movie madness, beer-fueled confusion, and 100% Hollywood nonsense!”Don’t forget to drop us an email at filmsandfermentation@gmail.com or visit 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.  Visit the Films and Fermentation Substack to subscribe to our official Newsletter.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.  For just $1, you’ll receive our exclusive Real vs. Fake Movie Bullshit Detector— 60% of the time, it works every time. https://fermentedfilms.creator-spring.com/You can now text us at: 904-867-4466Support the showA 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!
