Morally Offensive is a weekly film podcast about the movies the Catholic Church tried to warn you about. We revisit films labeled “condemned” by the Legion of Decency and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, unpacking the outrage, the censorship, and the cultural shifts behind them.

The hosts are passionate and knowledgeable. One knew the director of the film and shared her insights into it based on conversations. They use research to bolster their opinions, and running all this through how the capital C church saw these films at the time is just a delight!
I love this podcast, the reviewers are pretty good at staying on track and their insights are really interesting. It’s very easy listening and if I’ve got someone in the car with me and I don’t want to offend them, I can put this on and it’s a fun time.
So great to hear a fellow NMU alumni and movie buff! Listened to one episode and had a smile on my face the whole time. Bravo!!
As a recovering ex evangelical, who also worked in film, I enjoy this conversation with two quite ethical host, calling out abusers and systems of oppression. This call, particularly to men to do better is a welcome point of view in the larger conversation on media
Hilarious, brilliant, unpretentious, absorbing, this podcast lives at the intersection of movies and the history of "morality." You don't have to have seen the movie. You don't have to be Catholic. What might SEEM like a niche subject, they make fascinating and fun for anyone. You'll laugh, and you might learn a little too (but you don't have to!) The podcasters are excellent. Movie choices are great: some famous, some now obscure.
Production values are also on point: it sounds great!
