Summary

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Eve O'Dea, Dan Bayer, and guest Nathaniel Rogers from The Film Experience. This week we're reviewing the latest film from Damien Chazelle, "Babylon," starring Margot Robbie, Diego Calva, Brad Pitt, Jean Smart, Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li & Tobey Maguire. A mammoth three-hour-long film about Hollywood's transition from silent films to talkies, the movie is a wild, entertaining, and confounding deconstruction of a time of excess and debauchery, which has triggered a lot of mixed responses. What did we think of it, though? Please tune in for our SPOILER-FILLED review as we discuss the themes, characters, performances, crafts, and the film's Oscar prospects in our review below.
