    Creatures, Miniatures & Mayhem: The Practical Effects Movie Draft w/ Cthulhu Jack

    Send us Fan Mail Tonight, we’re celebrating the glorious days when movie monsters were made of rubber, spaceships were hanging from wires, and blowing something up meant somebody actually had to blow something up. From prosthetic creatures and miniature cities to animatronic dinosaurs and stunt performers questioning their career choices, we’re drafting the greatest practical-effects movies from across the decades. Each of us will build our team while trying to decide whether to grab a classic now or risk watching Jurassic Park disappear one pick before we planned to take it. Along the way, we’ll undoubtedly argue about what actually counts as a practical effect, because apparently three guys drinking beer are now qualified to challenge decades of filmmaking terminology. So grab a pint, keep the CGI to a minimum, and remember: if the monster can actually eat the actor, it gets bonus points. 🍺🎬🦖 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.

    THE PEOPLE vs. ROGER EBERT: THE ROGER EBERT ZERO STAR FILM LIST

    Send us Fan Mail Tonight, we’re celebrating one of the rarest achievements in cinema: making a movie Roger Ebert believed deserved absolutely nothing. Mike and Kev will try to identify twelve movies that earned the dreaded ZERO STARS, ranging from infamous cinematic disasters to a few choices that may cause us to question Roger’s usually impeccable judgment. Along the way, we’ll revisit some of Ebert’s most gloriously savage reviews, because nobody could professionally tell a filmmaker they’d wasted everyone’s time quite like Roger. There will be bad movies, questionable taste, wounded childhood nostalgia, and at some point we’re going to have to address the unforgivable fact that he gave  zero stars to a Films and Fermentation Cult Favorite. So grab a beer, put your thumbs firmly down, and remember: even half a star would have been an act of mercy. 🍺⭐🚫 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.

    Where No Podcast Has Gone Before: 60 Years of Star Trek

    Send us Fan Mail Sixty years ago, Star Trek boldly went where no television show had gone before, although it took two pilots, two captains, and a network saying “maybe try that again” to actually get there. 🖖 Tonight, we’re heading back to the beginning with The Cage and Where No Man Has Gone Before to see how Captain Pike’s strange trip to Talos IV eventually evolved into Kirk, Spock, and the Enterprise we all know. Then we’re raiding every corner of the Star Trek universe to build our perfect crew, choosing our captains, doctors, engineers, science officers, and the unfortunate redshirts required to keep the rest of us alive. Friendships will be tested, beloved characters will be stolen, and somebody will inevitably assemble a crew so dysfunctional that the Borg will take one look and turn around. So pour yourself something Romulan blue, set your phasers to fermentation, and join us as we celebrate 60 years of Star Trek by going Where No Podcast Has Gone Before! 🍺🚀 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.

    Greatest Movie Monologues Ever: You Can’t Handle the List!

    Send us Fan Mail Tonight, we’re celebrating the greatest movie monologues of all time, because sometimes shutting up and letting one actor cook is the best special effect Hollywood has. From Quint ruining ocean vacations forever to Colonel Jessup explaining that apparently none of us can handle the truth, these are the speeches that stopped movies dead in their tracks and made audiences listen. We’ll revisit the rants, confessions, inspirational speeches, villainous sermons, and Oscar-bait verbal flamethrowers that became part of movie history. Along the way, we’ll determine whether great writing, great acting, or simply being Al Pacino and yelling increasingly louder is the secret to cinematic immortality. So pour yourself a drink, silence the room, and whatever you do, do not interrupt... somebody’s monologuing. 🎬🎙️🍺 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.

    TV Shows that Time Forgot

    Send us Fan Mail Tonight, we’re digging through the dusty attic of television history to uncover the live-action TV shows time forgot, programs so bizarre you’ll swear they were fever dreams brought on by bad pizza and unrestricted access to the remote. We’re talking crime-fighting animal shapeshifters, computerized superheroes, talking orangutans, nuclear-apocalypse sitcoms, and yes, that time NBC gave Joe Pesci his own detective series. These aren’t merely shows that got cancelled, they’re shows that disappeared so completely their own cast members may require photographic evidence they happened. We’ll revisit the strangest forgotten TV shows of the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s and ask the most important question in television history: Who greenlit this, and were they okay? So grab a drink, adjust the rabbit ears, and join us as Films and Fermentation proves that before streaming gave us too much television, network executives were already throwing absolutely anything at the wall. 📺🍺📡 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.

    Turn It Up to 11: The Greatest Fictional Movie Bands

    Send us Fan Mail Tonight, we’re cranking the amps to eleven as we rank the greatest fictional bands in movie history, where musical talent is optional but dramatic backstage arguments are apparently mandatory. From Spinal Tap and Stillwater to The Wonders, Sex Bob-Omb, and bands whose members include escaped convicts, prep-school children, and occasionally Muppets, cinema has given us groups that frankly deserve better Spotify numbers than some actual musicians. We’ll debate which fake bands had the best songs, the most convincing chemistry, and which ones we’d genuinely pay money to see live. We’ll also tackle the important philosophical question: if a fictional band starts touring in real life, have they escaped the movie and become our problem? So grab a beer, protect your drummer, and join us as Films and Fermentation ranks the best fictional movie bands of all time! 🎸🎬🍻 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.

    The Sophomore Slump: Hollywood's Greatest One-Hit Wonders

    Send us Fan Mail Hollywood loves an origin story... right up until the sequel. Tonight we're talking about the actors, actresses, and directors who burst onto the scene with a first movie so good that studios were practically throwing money at them, only to discover lightning doesn't always strike twice. Some became cautionary tales, some became cult legends, and a few are probably still pitching "it's The Sixth Sense meets Cats" to confused executives. This isn't about people who had one good movie. It's about the people whose very first swing was a grand slam... and then they spent the next twenty years bunting. So grab a drink and join us as we celebrate Hollywood's greatest sophomore slumps, because sometimes the hardest act to follow... is yourself. 🎬🍻 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!

    Wait... THAT Was Based on a Book?!

    Send us Fan Mail Tonight, we’re looking at movies you probably assumed sprang fully formed from the mind of a screenwriter, only to discover they were hiding in a book, comic, memoir, or suspiciously short piece of fiction all along. This is not Harry Potter, where the source material arrives carrying its own theme park and gift shop. We’re talking A History of Violence, Die Hard, Mean Girls, and other films that quietly snuck onto the screen wearing fake mustaches. Some of these adaptations are so different from their originals that calling them “based on” feels legally cautious. So pour a drink, judge a book by its movie poster, and prepare to say, “Wait… that was adapted from what?” 🎬📚🍻 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.
