Ep. 042 - The Invitation (2015)

Published: March 1, 2021, 1 p.m.

The Invitation confronts grief, redemption, religious/cultist ideals, all while challenging the viewer’s expectations of what to believe as well as who to trust. Join Jason, Paco and Evan as they discuss Karyn Kusama’s, up to this point, penultimate (Evan uses that word a lot in this episode) film. That sentence was melee-mouthed, but so is the discussion and our resident cinephiles’ interpretation of objectively one of the most tense and nuanced horror-thrillers to have come out in the last decade. Also, the art of the Irish Goodbye is discussed, as well as the reasons why your Irish Goodbye at a party may not have been as smooth as you hoped for. AND our segment Saving Face gets its own little theme song face-lift....so....be gentle. . . . Rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
