The Invitation and the Tony Alamo Cult: This is All Making Me Feel a Little Uncomfortable

Everything is fine, come on in and listen to Chris and Christin discuss the 2015 movie The Invitation. First, we talk about Chris's first screening of Terms of Endearment and all those ghosts in The Haunting of Hill House. Then we get into The Invitation and decide what we would do in the same strange situations the dinner guests end up in. (Hint: Leave when the Zodiac Killer shows up!) They discuss manic pixie dream girls, a possible new horror movie troupe and the power of grief. Then Christin shares the crazy story of the Tony Alamo Christian Ministries cult and makes Chris question what Michael Jackson knew. Get some of your best wine and enjoy.
