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 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.
