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. Is the original film’s perfect hero’s journey enough to hold off one of the most acclaimed sequels of all time, or does Empire’s darker tone and iconic twist give it the edge?

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.
From star-cross’d lovers doomed by hasty hearts,
To kings undone by whispers in the dark,
We ask: doth Hollywood do justice fair,
Or twist the Bard for box office delight?
Fear not, for we shall mock and praise alike,
With jest and a...

This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re diving into the famous movie quotes you think you know… but probably don’t. From “Luke, I am your father” to “Play it again, Sam,” Hollywood history is filled with lines that millions of fans have been confidently misquoting for decades. Are these misquotes the result of pop culture telephone, bad memories, or just the Mandela Effect working overtime? We’re breaking down th...
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, an...

Who gets first pick when the board includes stunt daredevils, slapstick ...
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 sh...
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, r...
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.

This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re cracking open a cold one and looking back at the beautiful disasters and surprise bangers that were the movies of 2025. We’ll argue about box office hits, under-the-radar gems, and the “who greenlit this?” films that probably should’ve stayed in development hell. Then we’ll stumble boldly into the future with a preview of 2026 movies, hyped blockbusters, sequels nobody aske...
This 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.
