"Welcome to Films and Fermentation, where our childhoods were shaped by the magical, the whimsical, and the deeply scarring. Today, we’re diving into the twisted fever dreams that passed for “kids’ movies” in the 1980s—because nothing says family fun like puppets with dead eyes and animated rabbits dying in slow motion. These films taught us important life lessons, like how to fear swamps, trust no goblins, and that sometimes your stuffed animals might just be harboring existential dread. We laughed, we cried, we questioned the intentions of every adult who said, “This one’s great for kids!” So pour yourself a nostalgic drink and prepare to relive the cinematic therapy we never asked for.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
