Babylon

Are you a scholar of ancient, Biblically revered cities that serve as a symbol of debauchery and excess? Or perhaps you have a friend who natters incessantly about topics that no-one cares about? At the very least, maybe you've recently encountered a newborn with the unusual Christian name of Lon? Regardless of which, any one of these very normal scenarios would mean you're now familiar with Babylon, which is also the name of Damien Chazelle's 2022 epic yarn about 1920s Hollywood. It is sickening, impressive, obnoxious and hard to ignore, making it perfect fodder for this podcast, where we somehow manage to strike the exact same Pal-ance.
