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 all know. Then we’re raiding every corner of the Star Trek universe to build our perfect crew, choosing our captains, doctors, engineers, science officers, and the unfortunate redshirts required to keep the rest of us alive. Friendships will be tested, beloved characters will be stolen, and somebody will inevitably assemble a crew so dysfunctional that the Borg will take one look and turn around. So pour yourself something Romulan blue, set your phasers to fermentation, and join us as we celebrate 60 years of Star Trek by going Where No Podcast Has Gone Before! 🍺🚀

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, confessions, inspirational speeches, villainous sermons, and Oscar-bait verbal flamethrowers that became part of movie history. Along the way, we’ll determine whether great writing, great acting, or simply being Al Pacino and yelling increasingly louder is the secret to cinematic immortality. So pour yourself a drink, silence the room, and whatever you do, do not interrupt... somebody’s monologuing. 🎬🎙️🍺

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 his own detective series. These aren’t merely shows that got cancelled, they’re shows that disappeared so completely their own cast members may require photographic evidence they happened. We’ll revisit the strangest forgotten TV shows of the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s and ask the most important question in television history: Who greenlit this, and were they okay? So grab a drink, adjust the rabbit ears, and join us as Films and Fermentation proves that before streaming gave us too much television, network executives were already throwing absolutely anything at the wall. 📺🍺📡

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 numbers than some actual musicians. We’ll debate which fake bands had the best songs, the most convincing chemistry, and which ones we’d genuinely pay money to see live. We’ll also tackle the important philosophical question: if a fictional band starts touring in real life, have they escaped the movie and become our problem? So grab a beer, protect your drummer, and join us as Films and Fermentation ranks the best fictional movie bands of all time! 🎸🎬🍻

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 confused executives. This isn't about people who had one good movie. It's about the people whose very first swing was a grand slam... and then they spent the next twenty years bunting. So grab a drink and join us as we celebrate Hollywood's greatest sophomore slumps, because sometimes the hardest act to follow... is yourself. 🎬🍻

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 snuck onto the screen wearing fake mustaches. Some of these adaptations are so different from their originals that calling them “based on” feels legally cautious. So pour a drink, judge a book by its movie poster, and prepare to say, “Wait… that was adapted from what?” 🎬📚🍻

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 too many tropical drinks. Considering there are movies featuring ghost sharks, avalanche sharks, and sharks that apparently ignore the laws of biology, this game is far more difficult than it has any right to be. So grab your favorite beverage, keep your hands out of the water, and join us as we discover that sometimes the scariest thing in Shark Week isn't the shark... it's the screenwriter.

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 all things creepy. Together we'll make passionate cases for forgotten favorites, argue over cinematic injustices, and almost certainly add a dozen movies to your watchlist. Expect great recommendations, terrible puns, spirited debates, and the usual amount of movie-fueled chaos you've come to expect from Films and Fermentation. So grab your favorite beverage and help us kick off Season 12 by proving that sometimes the best movies are the ones everyone else forgot.

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 Cinderella story steal the championship? Expect heated debates, questionable seeding, and passionate arguments over whether excessive patriotism or simply grilling hot dogs should count toward a movie's final score. Grab your favorite beverage and join us for 'Murica: The Movie, where the only thing more competitive than the bracket is the people filling it out.

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 amount of time quoting movies that shouldn't be as endlessly quotable as they are. Whether you know him as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Pennywise, Long John Silver, Wadsworth, or the Lord of Darkness himself, Tim Curry has left fingerprints all over pop culture. So grab your favorite beverage and join us as we celebrate the man who proved that chewing the scenery isn't a flaw when you're the most entertaining person in the room.
