Turner Classic Movies will hold a full roundtable discussion at the start of several of old Hollywood's most celebrated films to warn viewers about 'sexist and racist content' - prompting major mixed reaction from fans, with some slamming 'sick' cancel culture.
On Thursday, the cable network kicked off Reframed: Classic Films in the Rearview Mirror, a series where it says it examines the 'troubling and problematic' aspects of the classics, which were released from the 1920s to the 1960s.
Among the 18 flicks under the microscope include Breakfast at Tiffany's, Psycho, Gone With the Wind, My Fair Lady, Stagecoach, The Jazz Singer, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and more.
Several hosts will take turns holding roundtable introductions before the start of each movie where they will discuss the history and cultural context of the movie.
They will also warn viewers who have never seen these films before about potentially upsetting moments including depictions of racism, sexism, and LGBTQ issues.
