On this episode of Cinematic Breadcrumbs, we dive into what you should watch if you liked "Babylon" and are looking for more. This includes the Old Hollywood references and history that inspired the story and which films to watch to get a better look at that time period, films that tackle similar themes and other of director Damien Chazelle's big hitters.

The main films we look at are, but are not limited to, "The Wolf of Wall Street" (2013), "Sunset Boulevard" (1950), "Boogie Nights" (1997), "La La Land" (2016), and "Singing in the Rain" (1952).
