People overreact to movies. A Lot. Today we talk about two of the films that sparked the most outrage and violence with the Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange and Martin Scorsese's Last Temptation of Christ. We also talk about badly timed movies that wouldn't have been controversial if not for when they were released.
