What Makes a Film ”Morally Offensive”? That’s the question hosts Bill and Cisco explore in every episode of Morally Offensive. They dive deep into the list of films once Condemned or labeled Morally Offensive by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Film Office (formerly the Legion of Decency). This controversial list dates back to the early days of Hollywood, when scandals rocked the film industry, and Catholic leaders pushed for censorship. In response, movie moguls introduced the Hays Code—strict moral guidelines enforced with the help of Catholic Joseph Breen. As Hollywood evolved, the Hays Code crumbled, giving way to the modern ratings system in the late 1960s. The once-feared Condemned rating gradually lost its power, morphing into Morally Offensive—a label that no longer carries the weight it once did. Now, ex-Catholic hosts Bill and Cisco are on a mission to watch every film on this infamous list, from pre-Code musicals to modern body horror. Were these films truly immoral, or just victims of outdated religious fears? Join them as they re-evaluate these so-called dangerous movies in the context of today’s cultural landscape—where book bans are rising, censorship concerns grow, and the influence of Christian Nationalism looms large. Warning: Mature themes, occasional strong language, and conversations about religious trauma. Subscribe now and uncover the films once deemed unfit for human consumption—you might be surprised at what made the list.
