Send us a textThis 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 [email protected] or visit linktree.com/filmsandfermentation  to find all our social media and podcast links.  Become part of the Films and Fermentation Family.  We are now part of the podnation media network on Roku.  We are an Independent Podcast, which means we are listener supported.  So please consider joining our Patreon for as little as a dollar a month to receive members only content.  For $1 a month, we’ll help you find the body.  https://fermentedfilms.creator-spring.com/You can now text us at: 904-867-4466Also check out Leo's new Web series, Leo Runs from Cryptids, on YouTube and TikTok.Support the showA member of the Podnation Media Network. linktree.com/podnationpods Find all our social media and Podcast links at: linktree.com/filmsandfermentation Become part of the FIlms and Fermentation Family by supporting us on Patreon or buying our Merch at teespring.com CHEERS!
