In this episode, Kennedy Rizzo and Cooper Lee, take a minute to reflect on the history and nuances of the movie rating system, from the Haze code to PG-13, and how it influences what we watch.

Key Topics: History of the movie rating system from the Haze code to PG-13; the role of the MPAA and the rating board made up of parents; differences between ratings like G, PG, PG-13, R and NC-17; the creation of PG-13 in 1984 and is cultural significance; how content is he evaluated and rated, including context and content considerations; the impact of ratings on childhood and family movie experiences.
