    Send us Fan Mail 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.

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 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.

    Send us Fan Mail 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.

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 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.

    Cinematic Shakespeare

    Send us Fan Mail 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.

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 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.  Yes, Good gentles, prithee spare but a single dollar coin, that our humble revels of wit and wine may endure.

    Worst Movie Reboots & Remakes: Hollywood’s Biggest Do-Over Failures

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Films and Fermentation, we dive headfirst into the cinematic recycling bin to uncover the worst movie reboots and remakes Hollywood swore we needed (we did not). From soulless cash grabs to “bold reimaginings” that forgot what made the original great, we’re revisiting films that made audiences ask, “Who approved this?” Expect passionate debates, questionable creative decisions, and at least one remake that feels like it was written by a committee of confused interns. We’ll break down why these reboots failed, what they could’ve done differently, and whether any deserve a second… second chance. So grab a drink and join us as we prove that sometimes, the past should stay exactly where it is.

    Send us Fan Mail Special Guest -- Cthulhu Jack Dust off your leg warmers and prepare for maximum montage energy, because this week we’re diving headfirst into This Year in Film History: 1986 🎬🔥  It’s the year where fighter jets flew dangerously close to volleyball games, aliens got cozy in suburbia, and one man named Crocodile proved that tourism marketing could, in fact, involve knives.  We’re breaking down the biggest movies, unforgettable moments, and the kind of cinematic chaos that only the mid-80s could deliver without a hint of irony.  Expect blockbuster nostalgia, behind-the-scenes trivia, and at least one debate that escalates way beyond what 1986 probably deserves.  So grab your VHS tapes, adjust your aviators, and join us as we rewind to a year when Hollywood hit the gas and never once looked in the rearview mirror.

    Oscar Review (Plus tribute to Chuck Norris)

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Films and Fermentation, it’s a solo mission as Leo breaks down the biggest moments, surprises, and “wait… really?” decisions from the latest Oscars. From standout wins to head-scratching snubs, we’re taking a look at what the Academy got right—and where it might need a second take. Then, we pivot from red carpets to roundhouse kicks with a tribute to the one-man genre known as Chuck Norris. Because while the Oscars celebrate acting, Chuck Norris celebrates defying physics, logic, and occasionally gravity itself. So grab a drink and join me for a night of awards analysis, action legend appreciation, and just enough sarcasm to keep things honest.  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. https://fermentedfilms.creator-spring.com/ You can now text us at: 904-867-4466 Support the show 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!
