It’s the great quintuple fist-pump high-five joining of the podcast forces for a yuletide cracker of festive delights. Hosts of The Letterboxd Show, Weekend Watchlist and our soon-to-launch Best in Show awards-season pod gather to get seasonally affected by Carol (Brian); Bridget Jones’s Diary (Mia); Eyes Wide Shut (Mitchell); Batman Returns (Slim) and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Gemma). Three podcasts, five hosts, five Christmas movies, one gloriously chaotic final episode of The Letterboxd Show Four Favorites for 2022.

This episode is brought to you by Paramount Pictures’ Babylon. Damien Chazelle’s new film opens in theaters December 23 and stars Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie and Diego Calva. Babylon is on 116,000 Letterboxd watchlists. It’s about early Hollywood decadence and depravity—best seen in theaters to be a part of the conversation. Movie lovers love movies about movies with big movie stars, so see it in theaters December 23. Also: we went to the premiere!
