Whatcha Watchin with Alexis Gentry

The Movie Rating System with Kt Baldassaro from MovieRuntime

Trashwire Season 1 Episode 19

Has the G-rated film gone extinct? Is PG-13 still the most profitable film rating? When is being rated R a badge of honor?

In this episode, Alexis is joined by Kt Baldassaro from MovieRuntime to discuss the history of the MPA movie rating system, the hoops filmmakers need to go through to avoid an NC-17 rating, when movie classification borders on censorship, and whether or not the film rating system still matters in the streaming age.
