  • BBFC v. MPAA- Celebrating 40 Years of BBFC Ratings 'PG', '15', and '18'

    WARNING: Adult themes, strong language, sexual dialogue

    Ever since November 1982, these ratings have formed a pivotal role in the history of the Board. We discuss their legacies as PG evolved to become more family-friendly, 15 became more permissive, and 18 permits the most shocking material.  Subscribe to the Skinny Ebert channel for more great content!

  • BBFC v. MPAA- New Zealand Film Censorship (Discussion w/ Henry Talbot, Principal Advisor)

    WARNING: Adult themes  

    Perhaps the most important interview I ever conducted since the one I had with Sarah Peacock of the BBFC, Talbot of NZOFLC was very reassuring in answering questions related to how their system differs from Australia, why titles like HOSTEL: PART II, PUNI PUNI POEMY, and SHAME OF THE JUNGLE were banned, and if Taika Waititi or Jacinda Ardern entered their offices?

  • BBFC v. MPAA- 20 Years of '12A' (w/ Rob Bavister)

    WARNING: Adult themes, strong language, discussions related to mental health/depression  

    Rob and I discuss the virtues and pitfalls of the intermediary rating that acts as a buffer for films too strong for a PG, too mild for a 15 in all its uncut glory. From CASINO ROYALE to DARK KNIGHT and FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY to even the first BATMAN, nothing is off the table.  

    Check out my interview with BBFC associate Sarah Peacock discussing her views on 12A and its history too: https://youtu.be/V2UDkxCS8lQ Subscribe to the Skinny Ebert channel for more great content!

    LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNq7wcLEixs 

    WARNING: Strong language, adult themes, sexual dialogue 

    To celebrate the recent release of BLONDE, we discuss the history of this controversial rating through a series of releases that were either cut and got an R like ROBOCOP, AMERICAN PIE, TEAM AMERICA to films which fully embrace the NC-17 or X like CRASH 1996, KILLER JOE, SHAME, SHOWGIRLS, and classics MIDNIGHT COWBOY and CLOCKWORK ORANGE.  Subscribe to the Skinny Ebert channel for more great content!

  • INTERVIEW: Michael Davis (NIXED, SHOOT 'EM UP)

    In this yet another great interview, we discuss with a Hollywood filmmaker about his latest film NIXED, an adult cartoon political satire, which he largely self-animated, written, and directed, animation in general, and how he made the film to enlighten further conversation about the JFK assassination conspiracy and Richard Nixon (Tricky Dick)'s reputation pre- and post-Watergate.  Subscribe to the Skinny Ebert channel for more great content!
