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, and emo...
Dust off your cereal bowl and adjust your rabbit ears because this week we’re diving headfirst into the wonderfully weird world of forgotten 80s and 90s cartoons. From neon-soaked Saturday morning fever dreams to animated shows you only half-remember between toy commercials, we’re testing our brains on the most obscure animated TV series of the era. Think deep cuts, one-season wonders, and characters that absolutely dese...
This week on Films & Fermentation, we’re drafting the greatest physical actors in movie history, the legends who run, jump, fall down stairs, and somehow still hit their mark 🎬💥. From bone-crunching action stars to rubber-faced comedy icons, we’re building our ultimate roster of cinematic athletes who treat gravity like a mild suggestion. Who gets first pick when the board includes stunt daredevils, slapstick maste...
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 should ...
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, ride-o...
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. From leather-clad comedy specials that absolutely could not be made today to characters so iconic they’re still being quoted at family gatherings, Murphy’s career is nothing short of legendary. We’re diving into the hits, the misses, the talking animals,...
This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re back with Part 13 of our Films That Time Forgot series, digging up forgotten cinematic oddities like archaeologists with microphones and beer. But the real spotlight belongs to our special guest, Bobby DeMars, founder of Blind Barrels (A Whiskey Tasting Experience) and producer of the documentary, The Business of Amateurs. We talk indie filmmaking, passion projects, and what ...
This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of Stand By Me, Rob Reiner’s coming-of-age classic that somehow makes friendship, grief, and questionable decision-making feel like one perfect summer day. We’re walking the tracks with Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern, and yes, we’re emotionally prepared… which is to say we brought beverages and denial. We’ll dig into why this Stephen King adap...
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 asked ...
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. Rather than dwell on the sadness of his passing, we’re focusing on the joy, heart, and belly laughs his movies poured into the world. From awkward first kisses to epic sword fights and “I’ll have what she’s having” moments, Reiner gave us scenes that basically live rent-...
This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re stuffing your stocking with Christmas Classics vs. Their Remakes and seeing who ends up on the naughty list. We’re pitting the originals like It’s a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, and The Grinch against their shiny, CGI’d, studio-noted descendants. Are the remakes holiday miracles or cinematic lumps of coal wrapped in nostalgia bait? Expect eggnog-fueled rants, hot t...
"Tonight we’re raising a glass to two holiday underdogs: the scrappy little TV special that almost didn’t get made, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and the scrappy little podcast that also probably shouldn’t have, Films and Fermentation. Sixty years ago, Charlie Brown taught us the true meaning of Christmas; five years ago, we taught you the true meaning of “maybe that was one beer too many.” In this episode we’re unw...
On this mini-episode, Leo reviews "The Long Walk," "Weapons," and "Frankenstein."
Next full episode will drop on Dec. 9, 2025. It will be an anniversary celebration episode. 5 years as a Podcast and the 60th anniversary of a Charlie Brown Christmas!

"This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re playing everyone’s favorite game: Real or Fake Movie Plots! Can you tell the difference between a legitimate Hollywood script and the fever dream of a screenwriter on a caffeine bender?

"This week on Films and Fermentation, we’re heading to a galaxy far, far away to celebrate 45 years of The Empire Strikes Back — the sequel that taught us family reunions can get really awkward. Join our band of rebels as we toast to lightsabers, lost hands, and the greatest plot twist since finding out your favorite brewery is switching to non-alcoholic beer. We’ll break down why this icy, emotional space opera ...
"This week on Films and Fermentation, we salute our veterans the only way we know how — by arguing over which war movies actually get the military right and which ones couldn’t pass basic training. From Saving Private Ryan’s gut-wrenching realism to G.I. Joe’s cartoon physics, we’re putting Hollywood on trial with beer in hand and sarcasm locked and loaded. Expect equal parts respect and rid...
"It’s election season at Films and Fermentation, and democracy has never been this fuzzy! This week, we’re recasting our favorite political movies — from The American President to Napoleon Dynamite — entirely with Muppets. Kermit’s running for office, Miss Piggy’s demanding equal screen time, and Gonzo’s foreign policy involves chickens. We’re mixing politics, puppets, and pints for one chaotic campaign trail of ...
"Grab your garlic, silver bullets, and emotional support beer — it’s time for the Films and Fermentation Best Horror Movie Tournament Bracket! This week, your favorite booze-fueled film nerds pit the scariest, bloodiest, and most delightfully ridiculous horror movies against each other to crown the ultimate terror royalty. Expect heated debates, questionable logic, and plenty of puns that’ll make you groan louder th...
"Tonight, we’re diving into our brand-new series, Sequel Wars, starting with the mother of all matchups: Alien (1979) versus Aliens (1986). It’s a battle between slow-burn cosmic horror and full-throttle bug-splattering action—like if Ridley Scott and James Cameron got into a bar fight over who ordered the last pint. Will subtle terror and atmosphere prevail, or will pulse rifles and power loaders crush the compe...
"Tonight we’re cozying up with the best movies about fall—because nothing says autumn like pumpkin spice, football, and crippling seasonal depression. We’ll rake through the cinematic leaf piles to find the hidden gems and the turkeys that should’ve stayed in November. Expect more corny harvest festival jokes than your local hayride. Grab a cider, throw on a flannel, and let’s get this harvest of hilarity started...

The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark.

This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
