Episode #304: Babylon (2022)

Merry 2023 everyone! Matt and Mike hope you got everything you wanted for Christmas and are not still suffering from a New Year’s hangover. For the first pod of 2023 the guys chat about Babylon (2022) starring Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt. Extra special topics include Flea, our Best Movies of 2022, and gifts.

Babylon (2022) is a great movie for some people. It is very long but well acted, shot, with amazing sets and beautiful wardrobes. Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt do amazing jobs but relative newcomer Diego Calva steals the screen on many occasions. Babylon (2022) is a film for people who love movies and Hollywood. It tells multiple tales during the late 1920’s to 1930’s when Hollywood is transitioning into movies with sound. The biggest negative to Babylon (2022) is the length. It is over three hours long but luckily it doesn’t feel that long. Maybe skip the soda if you go watch this one in the theaters. Honestly it should be doing a hell of a lot better in the box office. Your hosts start the year off in agreement by awarding the film 4 out of 5 Reels.

Next week your hosts prepare for the upcoming awards season with a little film that dropped in November but is getting lots of Oscar buzz, The Banshees of Inisherin starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson. Thanks for listening everyone and we will chat with you next week!
