Films and Fermentation-- Strong reviews. Stronger drinks.
"Films and Fermentation" is a unique and lively podcast where we explore the intersection of movie culture and adult beverages. Each episode, we pick a fun, nostalgic, or quirky movie topic and pair it with the perfect drink to match the vibe. From cult classics and hidden gems to blockbuster hits, we review films with humor, heart, and a little buzz. We delve into films across all genres and decades, creating spirited discussions, while raising a glass to the art of cinema and the world of craft brews, cocktails, and more. With over 160 episodes and nearly 3 years of consistent content creation, Films and Fermentation has developed a strong, dedicated fan base. Our lighthearted tone, dynamic banter, and focus on niche movie topics paired with drinks set us apart in the movie podcast space.

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...
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, c...
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 h...
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...
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...
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...
Welcome to Films and Fermentation's Shark Week Special, where we're testing not just our movie knowledge, but humanity's ability to distinguish between actual shark movies and fever dreams that somehow got greenlit. In Real Plot or Not: Shark Week Edition, we'll read outrageous shark movie plot summaries, and our contestants have to decide whether Hollywood really made them... or whether we made them up after one to...
Season 12 of Films and Fermentation kicks off with a fan-favorite tradition as we dive into our 15th edition of Movies That Time Forgot, uncovering hidden gems, overlooked classics, and films that deserved far more love than they ever received. Joining us for the celebration are our unofficial fourth co-host, the delightfully erudite Cthulhu Jack, and special guest Matt Brooks, indie horror filmmaker and champion of...
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. Will Rocky go the distance, will Top Gun buzz the tower, or will an unexpected Cinderell...
This week on Films and Fermentation, we're celebrating the wonderfully weird, wildly talented, and utterly unforgettable career of Tim Curry. From a sweet transvestite from Transylvania to a terrifying clown lurking in the sewers, Curry somehow managed to traumatize and delight entire generations at the same time. We'll revisit his most iconic roles, debate his greatest performances, and probably spend an unhealthy ...
This week on Films and Fermentation, we're trading movie reviews for a draft board as we assemble the ultimate roster of sports movies. From underdog boxers and miracle hockey teams to baseball dreams and football legends, no athlete, coach, or inspirational locker room speech is safe from selection. Will strategy prevail, or will someone panic and spend a first-round pick on a movie they haven't actually watched si...
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? From cult classics and glorious train wrecks to action movies that somehow become masterpieces at beer number three, we're ranking the films that improve with a little liquid assistance. We'll debate whether this is a testament to the movies themselves or simply evidence t...
This week on Films and Fermentation, we're diving into the legendary music of John Williams and attempting the impossible: ranking our five favorite scores from a career that basically soundtracked modern cinema. From sharks and space wizards to dinosaurs, superheroes, and archaeologists with questionable workplace safety habits, Williams has spent decades living rent-free in our collective ears. We’ll debate ...
This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re taking some of our favorite movies of all time and committing the ultimate act of cinematic chaos: recasting them with modern actors. Each of us secretly picked one legendary film we wish we could experience again for the first time, then rebuilt the cast from scratch like Hollywood executives with too much confidence and a dangerous amount of caffeine. Will our choic...
This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re talking about the movies we wish we could experience again for the very first time. You know the ones: the films that stunned us, broke us emotionally, melted our brains, or left us sitting silently through the credits questioning reality and possibly our life choices. From shocking twists to unforgettable finales, we’re revisiting those magical first-viewing mo...
One podcast to rule them all, one podcast to find them, one podcast to bring them all and in the laughter bind them. This week, Films and Fermentation journeys back to Middle-earth to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the film that convinced an entire generation to suddenly care deeply about second breakfast and New Zealand geography. We’re diving into unforge...
This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re celebrating 40 years of Pixar—the studio that made us believe toys have feelings and that yes, we can cry over a imaginary friends disappearing. From groundbreaking animation in films like Toy Story to emotional gut-punches like Up and Inside Out, we’re diving into the movies that defined generations. We’ll revisit the classics, debate the best Pixar...
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 ...
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...
come back to Films and Fermentation, where this week we settle a debate more intense than a lightsaber duel in a thunderstorm… the greatest movie trilogy of all time. We’ve built the ultimate bracket, packed with iconic franchises, questionable matchups, and at least one pick that will absolutely start a fight. From epic sagas to perfectly crafted three-film arcs, only one trilogy will survive our compl...
