Join Fraser as he reviews The Invite, the 2026 dinner-party comedy from director Olivia Wilde, an English-language remake of Cesc Gay's The People Upstairs starring Wilde herself alongside Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton, and finds out whether this single-apartment, four-hander earns its place among this year's best A24 releases.

This episode contains full spoilers.

In this review, Fraser shares why Seth Rogen's quietly wounded dramatic turn caught him completely off guard, how the film's closing piano duet became his favourite moment of the whole year so far, and why he walked away wanting to track down both Carnage and the original Spanish film for comparison.
