The Motion Pictures Association (MPA) Film Ratings Fail & NON-Creep Brenda Lee

<b>What a CreepSeason 23, Episode 1</b><br /><b>The Motion Pictures Association (MPA) Film Ratings System<br /><br /></b>We will discuss the Motion Picture Association (MPA) film ratings system, previously known as the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).<br />Why? Because although it doesn’t always seem like movie ratings matter, they do. Movie ratings decide how big of an audience a movie gets. Anyone can see a PG-13, while an NC-17 movie can’t even run ads for their film; most theaters won’t show it. <br />We talk about the double standards when it comes to straight sex vs. queer sex, male nudity vs. female nudity, and sex and violence.<br /><b><br />Trigger warning: Foul language and sexual situations<br />Sources for this episode:<br /></b><br /><ul><li>“<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Breaking-Code-Preminger-Hollywoods-Censors/dp/1493074881/ref=asc_df_1493074881/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=663441658318&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=14570191164902828678&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9031945&amp;hvtargid=pla-2188911111063&amp;psc=1&amp;mcid=ea6668e6272e3a0da90e78ec513264c6" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Breaking the Code</a>” by <a href="http://www.natsegaloff.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nat Segaloff</a></li><li><a href="https://collider.com/mpaa-rating-system-useless/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Collider</a></li><li><a href="https://www.filmratings.com/History" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Film Ratings</a></li><li><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/melissasilverstein/2013/10/25/the-broken-ratings-system/?sh=21e2b95b5431" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Forbes</a></li><li><a href="https://gizmodo.com/a-brief-history-of-the-movie-rating-system-1676334900" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gizmodo</a></li><li><a href="https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/mpaa-ratings-controversies-50-anniversary-1202016148/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer
