Chris (no Harald today!) welcomes in pod vet, Jared Garalde, and pod newcomer, Jarred Mac, for a retrospective discussion on Damien Chazelle’s Babylon (2022). A film that was polarizing amongst critics and audiences alike, Babylon dropped in to theaters with a star cast including Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie. Has the film aged like fine wine? Were the critics right? Stay tuned for a wide range of thoughts on these questions - and more - from this new Pinoys vs. trio.
