Forgotten 80's Animation with the KJ & A Podcast
Mar 301:17:17Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailDust 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 deserved better… or at least a second episode. Can we actually guess these retro cartoons from the golden age of Saturday morning TV, or will nostalgia betray us completely? Grab your action figures and join us for a totally radical, slightly chaotic trip through classic 80s and 90s animation. 📺✨Don’t forget to drop us an email at filmsandfermentation@gmail.com or visit linktree.com/filmsandfermentation to find all our social media and podcast links.

Feb 1701:10:02Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailWelcome 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 not be allowed near a fedora. Expect bold choices, irresponsible confidence, and at least one casting pick that will make you yell at your speakers.

Feb 1001:16:44Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailWelcome 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-or-die besties, and rivalries so intense they practically need a chaperone. You’ll hear the matchups, the upsets, and the passionate arguments that absolutely won’t get personal (they will). So grab your drink, warm up your bracket, and let’s crown the greatest onscreen chemistry of all time.Don’t forget to drop us an email at filmsandfermentation@gmail.com or visit linktree.com/filmsandfermentation to find all our social media and podcast links.

Eddie Murphy: From SNL to Beverly Hills Cop – A Legendary Acting Career
Feb 301:07:24Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailThis 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, and the era when every studio executive said, “Just get Eddie.” It’s a career built on fearless comedy, massive charm, and the confidence to play every role himself if necessary. So grab a drink, laugh responsibly, and join us as we celebrate one of the most unstoppable runs in entertainment history.Don’t forget to drop us an email at filmsandfermentation@gmail.com or visit linktree.com/filmsandfermentation to find all our social media and podcast links.

Interview with Bobby DeMars + Films that Time Forgot
Jan 2701:44:12Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailThis 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 it takes to build something meaningful when you’re not backed by a Hollywood money cannon. It’s part movie nostalgia, part behind-the-scenes hustle, and part “how did this even get made,” in the best possible way. Pour a drink, press play, and join us for forgotten films, great conversation, and a spotlight on the people actually doing the work.Don’t forget to drop us an email at filmsandfermentation@gmail.com or visit linktree.com/filmsandfermentation to find all our social media and podcast links.

Stand By Me: A 40th Anniversary Celebration
Jan 2001:15:48Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailThis 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 adaptation still hits like a memory you didn’t realize you kept, powered by unforgettable performances from River Phoenix, Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O’Connell. Expect laughs, a little lump-in-the-throat honesty, and a respectful salute to a film that understands how growing up can be both beautiful and brutal. So grab a drink, watch your step, and join us as we revisit Stand By Me at 40, because some stories don’t age, they echo.Don’t forget to drop us an email at filmsandfermentation@gmail.com or visit linktree.com/filmsandfermentation to find all our social media and podcast links.

Jan 1301:16:43Tap to summarizeSend a textThis 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 for, and the odd original idea that somehow escaped a franchise. Expect beer-fueled predictions, wildly inaccurate box office guesses, and at least one movie we swear will “save cinema” until it doesn’t. If you love a chaotic year-in-review, upcoming movie previews, and a film review podcast that doesn’t take itself too seriously, this episode is your double feature. 🍻🎬Don’t forget to drop us an email at filmsandfermentation@gmail.com or visit linktree.com/filmsandfermentation to find all our social media and podcast links.

Tribute to Rob Reiner
Dec 2301:23:33Tap to summarizeSend a textThis 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-free in our collective pop-culture brain. We’ll be revisiting his work as both actor and director, sharing our favorite stories, quotes, and behind-the-scenes tidbits.

Christmas Classics vs. their Modern Remakes
Dec 1601:08:07Tap to summarizeSend a textThis 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 takes, and more bah-humbugs than a Scrooge reboot.
