"Babylon"

Published: Dec. 24, 2022, 8:16 p.m.

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by\xa0Eve O'Dea,\xa0Dan Bayer, and guest\xa0Nathaniel Rogers\xa0from\xa0The 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. Thank you so much for listening over this holiday weekend, and enjoy!\n\xa0\nCheck out more on NextBestPicture.com\nPlease subscribe on...\nSoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/nextbestpicturepodcast\niTunes Podcasts - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/negs-best-film-podcast/id1087678387?mt=2\nSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7IMIzpYehTqeUa1d9EC4jT\nAnd be sure to help support us on Patreon for as little as $1 a month at https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture\nLearn more about your ad choices.
