Listeners, you are cordially invited to our totally non-culty, completely non-creepy dinner party where we will deep dive into Karyn Kusama's criminally under-watched horror thriller film, The Invitation. The film stars Logan Marshall-Green, Tammy Blanchard, Michiel Huisman, and John Carroll Lynch. If you haven't seen this one yet, consider doing so before listening, as this episode may spoil your appetite at the party... and we wouldn't want that. So once you're ready, grab a glass of wine and settle in - cause this one's not to be missed!

Merry Christmas, listeners! Has the holiday season got you down? Well, we've got just the remedy for you. Watch this progressive, feminist proto-slasher movie from the before-times. It features a drunk Lois Lane, unrequited love, and a British Hussey who doesn't know how to answer a phone. And we haven't even mentioned all the blood! If you haven't seen Black Christmas before, check it out and run - don't walk - back here to listen to our deep dive!
