Mentioned once across 1 show · first heard Apr 2026 on Digital Social Hour.
The general take
Craig Ballantyne found The Business of Being Born to be a great movie that effectively exposes the industry surrounding childbirth, though he notes it's dated since it came out in 2006. He was pleasantly surprised that Ricky Lake, the talk show host, directed it. That's the only substantive take offered about the film.

“And you know, there's a movie that we watched called The Business of Being Born. And it was by Ricky Lake, of all people. So Ricky Lake, the talk show host. And it was a really great movie and it's done in 2006. So it's very dated. But you just see the there's an industry behind birth.”
