The Invitation (2015)
We're celebrating episode 200 with a five star film: Karyn Kusama's masterful The Invitation (2015). Every aspect of this film is sheer perfection (direction, editing, score, lighting, screenplay and acting). We're obsessed with the layered and nuanced depiction of grief, Will as an unreliable protagonist, terrifying character actor John Carroll Lynch and the glorious house porn. Plus: speculation about the after life, why Kira wins Best Girlfriend, good queer representation, as well as blow and blowjobs. Oh, and Trace ruins the film with a Claire tidbit. It's a masterclass!
