Episode 20: Babylon - Watch Skip Plus

What this episode covers

For the last episode of 2022 (#20in2022)...The Watch/Skippers take on the A-list star studded, much anticipated, Hollywood hey-day set "Babylon" directed by young Oscar winner Damian Chazelle. At nearly three hours in length and with a puzzling marketing campaign (looks like "Moulin Rouge"...plays like something completely different), is this a soon-to-be cult classic revered for its rich cinematography and balls-out (literally given the first 30 minutes!) storytelling and bravura, swing for the fences performances by performers, new and veteran? Or is this indeed the biggest bomb of 2022 - a chaotic, unfocused mess of a movie, made as a middle finger to the industry? Get us in your ears and find out (Hold onto your bucket hats: You'll be VERY surprised who says "watch" and who says "skip). Before that, The Cinemasochist provides a cautionary tale about how winter and technology can be bad bedfellows, and Cupcake discusses his epic rewatch of a vaunted and much celebrated series (hint: WHERE ARE MY DRAGONS?!!?!).
