Violent Ends returns to The Goods -- two movies with similar premises but very different tones and outcomes. This time, Dan and Brian watch the MGM Technicolor classic, Singin' in the Rain, and the Damien Chazelle critical and financial flop from last year, Babylon.
Join as they ponder the movies' twin theses about sound and silent cinema, mourn the tragedy of Lina Lamont, decode the films' historical allusions, parse through Babylon's nihilism and gross-out factor, and wonder if Gene Kelly's Don Lockwood is actually a hero.
