Objectionable
by Sidu Chen
Objectionable is an independent research podcast about films that were banned, cut, refused, withdrawn, suppressed, or otherwise restricted around the world. Each episode follows one film, one ruling, and the paper trail around it: what happened, who made the decision, why they made it, and what the controversy reveals about politics, culture, and the limits of expression. Rather than treating every controversy as a “ban,” Objectionable distinguishes formal prohibitions from cuts, classification refusals, cancelled screenings, suppression, and voluntary withdrawal. Full show notes, sources, transcripts, and the growing film index are available at objectionable.media.
