Sex & Nudity

  • Very minimal.
  • At one point in the film, movies are referenced demonstrating how the ratings for movies had been adjusted over the years, and what's considered "PG-13" would have probably been rated as "R" years prior. They reference "PG-13" movies such as Austin Powers, which had sexually suggestive gags [example: milk jugs obscurely placed in front of a nude women's breasts, while milk is being poured out] to "Meet the Fockers" - which has the main character talking about another main character, Pam, and her breasts - and how he likes to masturbate to them.

Violence & Gore

  • There's a very minimal amount of violence in "Consuming Kids".
  • The increasing amount of realistic violence being displayed in video games is discussed, but the segment lasts for perhaps less than a minute. Call of Duty-esque video games showing soldiers being shot to death are displayed, as well as a clip from "Manhunt 2" where a man is being sawed in half with a saw. The scene itself is implied, as it cuts out before actually cutting the man in half (we do hear him audibly scream, though).
  • Violence is movies is also discussed, and the segment is also very brief. We see a man's head being decapitated by a sword, several gun scenes where people are being shot at, or shot, and brief wrestling scenes, pulled from WWF, where the wrestler's face is bloody.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Other than potentially what's mentioned under the "Violence & Gore" section - none.
