A few years ago I would have thought that this was nonsense. I still do, but nonsense is the order of the day. We have to be careful to not give the professionally offended an opportunity.

Personally I could see how 'Wodewick' could be perceived as a joke on speech-impaired people
I agree that at first sight this looks very bad. Which should be taken into consideration. However, an extra fact/trivia for Wodewick (for those who didn't know, like I was, as it's not mentioned on the wiki): Terry Jones (director of the movie) had himself rhotacism.
Also another fun fact: if you're explaining, you're losing ;)
So IMO, the presence of the (bad?) joke in the movie itself is a proof of Jones' openness.
TIL, thanks! Another reason to love the movie, while also not choosing this as the release name.
