Episode 10: Profanity

Few things can get your point across quite like some well placed profanity. Hollywood knows this, which is why some of the best dialog in film are also riddled with swear words. But where did all of this start? When did cinema get such a filthy fucking mouth? On today's episode we'll explore the history of profanity in movies. We'll discuss everything from damn, to fuck, the the infamous C-word. So if you are sensitive to swearing, you may need to skip this one. If you are sitting near somebody who is sensitive to swearing, turn it up really loud.

Episode 9: Bad Babies

WARNING: THIS EPISODE IS GROSS.

The fear of childbirth is known as "Tokophobia" and as far as Hollywood is concerned, should be exploited at all costs. This episode is all about babies. But not those cute little babies in "Look Who's Talking" or "Baby Geniuses." We're talking about monster babies, zombie babies, mutilated babies and even Rosemary's Baby. So put your babies to sleep for this one and if you're pregnant, for God's sake please don't listen. It's our grossest, goriest, mother unapproved episode yet!
