The Invite

After the success of her brilliant feature directorial debut Booksmart in 2019, actor-writer-director Olivia Wilde faced tougher times with her follow-up, Don’t Worry Darling (2022), which was eclipsed by the PR nonsense around her affair with Harry Styles (honestly, good for her), Florence Pugh’s moralizing, and ex Jason Sudeikis’ petty antics. Now, Wilde is back, and better than ever, in her new, surprising and fantastic film, The Invite. Join me and Joey as they parse this very special evening amongst neighbors, with a few references alive and well as the drama unfolds.
