Im putting up drywall in my basement. Two of my walls are exterior

installing any type of insulation.
Thanks

I would not go that route as you can get condensation between the
below-grade wall and plastic sheet that will get moldy. If you want
to seal up the walls properly, clean them up real good and give them 2
heavy coats of DryLoc brand waterproof paint (the latex version is
fine) (have cans well shaken as this stuff has a solid component that
settles). Then do your framing.
