Featuring never-before-seen footage and exclusive interviews with artists, politicians and others, it will reflect on the hearings\u2019 lasting impact.<\/p>\n<p>In 1985, in the midst of moral outrage, religious righteousness and \u201csatanic panic,\u201d the PMRC was created to increase parental awareness of music containing explicit content. The group of parents identified 15 songs they found to be the most objectionable, including Snider and Twisted Sister\u2019s song \u201cWe\u2019re Not Gonna Take It.\u201d Tracks from M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce, AC\/DC, Black Sabbath, Prince, Madonna and Cyndi Lauper were also on the \u201cFilthy Fifteen\u201d list.<\/p>\n<p>The docuseries will be executive produced by Matthew Ostrom, Laura Palumbo-Johnson and Jason Fox for Magilla Entertainment, as well as Snider and Ron Starrantino.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be in the crosshairs of this bipartisan attack on free speech caught me completely off guard,\u201d said Snider. \u201cAll of my rock and roll dreams were finally coming true, and the PMRC was trying to shut me up. Some of my peers thought we should just ignore them, but I couldn&#8217;t. To quote a brilliant man, \u2018This is our life, this is our song!\u2019 Someone had to fight back&#8230; and I fought hard!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ostrom, co-founder of Magilla, added, \u201cThe PMRC hearings serve as a perfect entry point for conveying the social and political sentiment of an era and unraveling a heated public debate that seems to be just as timely, if not more so, than it was in 1985. In taking a closer look at what landed each song on the \u2018Filthy Fifteen,\u2019 we\u2019re able to peel back the layers on the song\u2019s actual origins and lyrical intent. More than 35 years later, with fresh perspective and an evolved political climate, a new conversation could yield answers to lingering questions and even establish some common ground between former rivals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magilla Entertainment has teamed with heavy metal singer-songwriter and Twisted Sister front man Dee Snider to develop The Filthy Fifteen: Censorship &amp; the War on Dirty Lyrics (w.t.).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":18673,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[5863],"class_list":["post-18672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-magilla-entertainment","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Magilla Entertainment Producing Music Censorship Docuseries - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/magilla-entertainment-producing-music-censorship-docueries\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Magilla Entertainment Producing Music Censorship Docuseries - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Magilla Entertainment has teamed with heavy metal singer-songwriter and Twisted Sister front man Dee Snider to develop The Filthy Fifteen: Censorship &amp; the War on Dirty Lyrics (w.t.).\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/magilla-entertainment-producing-music-censorship-docueries\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-08-29T14:45:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-08-29T15:15:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/MagillaEntertainment-DeeSnider-0822.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"320\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/magilla-entertainment-producing-music-censorship-docueries\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/magilla-entertainment-producing-music-censorship-docueries\/\",\"name\":\"Magilla Entertainment Producing Music Censorship Docuseries - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-08-29T14:45:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-08-29T15:15:25+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/magilla-entertainment-producing-music-censorship-docueries\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/magilla-entertainment-producing-music-censorship-docueries\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/magilla-entertainment-producing-music-censorship-docueries\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Magilla Entertainment Producing Music Censorship Docuseries\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
