Listen To The Chronicle Episode 62

Welcome back to another journey into the cinematic universe with The Chronicle Film Podcast! In Episode 62, hosts Paul and Rosie put modern relationship dynamics under the microscope with a deep dive into the buzzy new Black Bear Pictures comedy drama, The Invite.

Directed by Olivia Wilde, who also pulls double duty as star, the film features a powerhouse ensemble cast including Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton. The plot follows Joe (Rogen) and Angela (Wilde), a married couple whose relationship is skating on thin ice. In a desperate bid for change, Angela invites their enigmatic upstairs neighbours (Cruz and Norton) over for a dinner party. What begins as an awkward social gathering quickly spirals into unexpected, chaotic territory. Will this wild evening reignite their spark, or is it already too late for their marriage?

The Invite was an absolute standout at the Sundance Film Festival this year. This is definitely one of those movies where the less you know going in, the more you will appreciate the twists and turns. During the episode, we debate whether it’s too early to call this a potential Oscar contender or if the critical hype is just right! If you live and breathe movies, you are in the right place.
