Mayim Bialik reports that her NBC sitcom, Blossom, was not permitted viewing in filmmaker Justin Johnson’s conservative Christian home due to its discussion of safe sex. Fast forward to today, the 48-year-old actress is now the executive producer of Johnson’s new documentary, Mom & Dad’s Nipple Factory. This documentary is about Johnson’s parents, Brian and Randi, and their business in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, which specializes in making custom prosthetic nipples for breast cancer survivors. The film humorously calls it a “rom-com about nipples.”
The documentary revolves around the love story of the deeply religious couple, and the undeniably beneficial impact of their business, particularly after Randi’s breast cancer diagnosis in 2007 and the subsequent mastectomy. Brian found a solution to the limited options for nipple reconstruction, creating a successful and compassionate business. This movie shares emotional interviews with women whose lives have been changed by the Johnsons’ products.
After years of operating discreetly, the documentary serves as a platform for Brian and Randi’s family and community to learn, comprehend, and accept their unique business. For Bialik, this documentary exemplifies the kind of stories she wants to tell through her production company, Sad Clown Productions. She aims to tell stories that go beyond political, religious, or social norms and focus on what unites humanity.
As a person of faith herself, Bialik resonates with Justin Johnson’s personal journey of finding common ground with his conservative family despite their differences. She also sees similarities between the characters in the documentary and her role in The Big Bang Theory, emphasizing the appeal of people who do things differently yet deeply love.
Mom & Dad’s Nipple Factory premieres in theaters on Sept. 6 and will be available on VOD on Sept. 10.
