Happy Fourth of July from Films and Fermentation! This week, we're settling one of the most gloriously unnecessary debates in cinematic history by crowning the most American movie ever made in a 32-film tournament packed with underdogs, explosions, baseball, freedom, questionable decisions, and at least one bald eagle in spirit.

This week on Films and Fermentation, we're tackling one of cinema's most important questions: are some movies actually better after a few drinks?

Will our choic...

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,
Wit...

This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re diving into one of Hollywood’s most important and complicated subjects: mental health in movies.
