See It or Free It: 'The Spoils of Babylon'
“The Spoils of Babylon” is a mini-series spoof aimed at
ridiculing the grand spectacles that were the epicallly melodramatic mini-series of
the 70’s and 80’s. As a fan of those series, I know that on the other side of their entertainment value, there's a lot of material ripe for parody.
Going in with the background knowledge of the original series, the inside jokes would seem an easy catch and with a cast that includes Kristen Wiig and Tim Robbins, among others, it seemed to be a great comedic opportunity.
