What Makes a Film “Morally Offensive”?
Ex-Catholics Bill, Cisco, Jess, Kevin (and Reform Jewish co-host Stephanie) ask this question every other week as they tackle the list of films “Condemned” or considered “Morally Offensive” by the Catholic Legion of Decency (RIP) and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Each week, they explore the production history of these movies while also exploring topics relevant to their ex-Catholic backgrounds and relevant, contemporary social issues. Not just for former Catholics, Morally Offensive is a podcast for anyone interested in social issues, film history, as well as the history of censorship in the United States. It's a podcast for people who watch dirty b-movies on Tubi, Italian cinema classics on the Criterion Channel, TCM devotees, or even your cousin who owns every Fast and the Furious movie on 4k.
