The Invitation (2015) was Karyn Kusama’s follow-up to Jennifer’s Body (2009) which turned out to be a masterfully done slow burn that is an anxious viewing with some seriously terrifying moments, but it feels like nobody saw it?

Guest Anna Jo and I,  discuss why this under the radar creepy film it’s a must watch with some serious after the pandemic vibes and filled with stunning performances that will keep you glued to the screen. 

Additionally, we tackle gaslighting, why this movie is a nightmare situation for both of us, casual horror fandom, needle drops in Marvel movies, and much more!
