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

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

Description

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!
