Warning: Parental Advisory is a 2002 television film created by VH1 and directed by Mark Waters. The film follows the story of Dee Snider, John Denver, and Frank Zappa, testifying before Congress against lyrics labeling laws.
The film focuses on the formation of the Parents Music Resource Center and its impact on music during 1985. It stars Jason Priestley, Mariel Hemingway as Tipper Gore, Griffin Dunne as Zappa, and Dee Snider as himself. The introductory speech that Snider gave in the film before testifying is the same speech he gave in 1985.
