    Reel Therapy: Movies That Portray Mental Health Accurately… and the Ones That Miss the Mark

    Send a text This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re diving into one of Hollywood’s most important and complicated subjects: mental health in movies. From powerful portrayals of depression, OCD, PTSD, autism, and bipolar disorder to films that maybe… didn’t quite consult a licensed professional, we’re breaking down what cinema gets right and where it misses the mark. Some movies handle mental illness with nuance, research, and emotional honesty, while others treat it like a quirky personality trait or a convenient plot twist. We’re not here to cancel your favorites, but we are here to talk about accuracy, impact, and why representation matters. So grab a drink, join the conversation, and let’s explore how mental health is portrayed on the big screen—responsibly, respectfully, and with just enough humor to keep it real.

    Forgotten 80's Animation with the KJ & A Podcast

    Send a text Dust off your cereal bowl and adjust your rabbit ears because this week we’re diving headfirst into the wonderfully weird world of forgotten 80s and 90s cartoons. From neon-soaked Saturday morning fever dreams to animated shows you only half-remember between toy commercials, we’re testing our brains on the most obscure animated TV series of the era. Think deep cuts, one-season wonders, and characters that absolutely deserved better… or at least a second episode. Can we actually guess these retro cartoons from the golden age of Saturday morning TV, or will nostalgia betray us completely? Grab your action figures and join us for a totally radical, slightly chaotic trip through classic 80s and 90s animation. 📺✨ 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 a dollar a month, we’ll sing the Gummy Bears theme song. https://fermentedfilms.creator-spring.com/ You can now text us at: 904-867-4466 Check out the K,J, and A Podcast on all podcast platforms and on the Podnation Media Network on Roku.

    Best Physical Performers: A Draft Episode

    Send a text This week on Films & Fermentation, we’re drafting the greatest physical actors in movie history, the legends who run, jump, fall down stairs, and somehow still hit their mark 🎬💥. From bone-crunching action stars to rubber-faced comedy icons, we’re building our ultimate roster of cinematic athletes who treat gravity like a mild suggestion. Who gets first pick when the board includes stunt daredevils, slapstick masters, and performers who do their own fight scenes without calling their chiropractor? Expect passionate arguments, questionable strategy, and at least one dramatic gasp when a fan-favorite gets snatched off the draft board. If you love action movies, comedy classics, and the art of on-screen physical performance, this episode is a full-contact sport.

    Recasting Dick Tracy (1990)

    Send a text Welcome back to Films and Fermentation, where questionable casting decisions are not only encouraged, they’re the whole point 🍿🍺 This week we’re recasting Dick Tracy, the comic-strip fever dream that asked, “What if every actor looked like a wax figure with a grudge?” We’re pulling the movie apart role by role to decide who should wear the yellow coat today, who gets buried under prosthetics, and who absolutely should not be allowed near a fedora. Expect bold choices, irresponsible confidence, and at least one casting pick that will make you yell at your speakers. So pour yourself something strong and join us as we commit cinematic heresy in the name of onscreen chemistry and fun.

    Best On-Screen Chemistry: A Valentine's Special

    Send a text Welcome back to Films and Fermentation, the only bracket tournament where love stories, buddy comedies, and heroes vs. villains all get judged on the same sacred metric: “Do we buy it?” 🍿🍺 This week we’re throwing the movies into a full-on Onscreen Chemistry Tournament, because some duos flirt, some bicker, and some try to throw each other off a building and it’s still weirdly electric. We’ve got romance sparks, ride-or-die besties, and rivalries so intense they practically need a chaperone. You’ll hear the matchups, the upsets, and the passionate arguments that absolutely won’t get personal (they will). So grab your drink, warm up your bracket, and let’s crown the greatest onscreen chemistry of all time.

    Eddie Murphy: From SNL to Beverly Hills Cop – A Legendary Acting Career

    Send a text This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re talking about a man who dominated stand-up, movies, and box offices before most of us finished middle school: Eddie Murphy. From leather-clad comedy specials that absolutely could not be made today to characters so iconic they’re still being quoted at family gatherings, Murphy’s career is nothing short of legendary. We’re diving into the hits, the misses, the talking animals, and the era when every studio executive said, “Just get Eddie.” It’s a career built on fearless comedy, massive charm, and the confidence to play every role himself if necessary. So grab a drink, laugh responsibly, and join us as we celebrate one of the most unstoppable runs in entertainment history.

    Interview with Bobby DeMars + Films that Time Forgot

    Send a text This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re back with Part 13 of our Films That Time Forgot series, digging up forgotten cinematic oddities like archaeologists with microphones and beer. But the real spotlight belongs to our special guest, Bobby DeMars, founder of Blind Barrels (A Whiskey Tasting Experience) and producer of the documentary, The Business of Amateurs. We talk indie filmmaking, passion projects, and what it takes to build something meaningful when you’re not backed by a Hollywood money cannon. It’s part movie nostalgia, part behind-the-scenes hustle, and part “how did this even get made,” in the best possible way. Pour a drink, press play, and join us for forgotten films, great conversation, and a spotlight on the people actually doing the work.

    Stand By Me: A 40th Anniversary Celebration

    Send a text This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of Stand By Me, Rob Reiner’s coming-of-age classic that somehow makes friendship, grief, and questionable decision-making feel like one perfect summer day. We’re walking the tracks with Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern, and yes, we’re emotionally prepared… which is to say we brought beverages and denial. We’ll dig into why this Stephen King adaptation still hits like a memory you didn’t realize you kept, powered by unforgettable performances from River Phoenix, Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O’Connell. Expect laughs, a little lump-in-the-throat honesty, and a respectful salute to a film that understands how growing up can be both beautiful and brutal. So grab a drink, watch your step, and join us as we revisit Stand By Me at 40, because some stories don’t age, they echo.
