The Needle Drop (2009)

Some episodes contains crude adult humour. Sexually explicit lyrics are referenced in certain reviews. There may be times when Fantano explains certain adult themes in albums, but it is clearly for an informative context. All nudity in cover art is censored.

No violence or gore. Very mild references to weapons and violence in a critic, informative context.

Strong language throughout. This depends on the episode. Should not be rated TV-G, probably TV-14 or TV-MA based on language alone.

Fuck, shit, dick, bitch, ass, pussy, and other expletives are used, primarily in the songs or in frustration over the poor quality of the album.

Some of the albums that Fantano critiques may have references to alcohol, smoking and drugs, but they are referenced in an informative context. However, Fantano has openly admitted to being straight-edge and there are no drugs/alcohol/smoking on the show.

Intense or distressing themes are discussed in albums, but they are verbal references and are referenced in a analytical and educational context. Never any threats of violence from Fantano himself, everything is managed professionally here. Overall Fantano's tasteful, humorous, and insightful commentary is free from vulgarities and completely family friendly and safe to play in front of your work buddies or even to grab a beer with your in-laws.
