While the boys cannot leave LA, we've avoidded the cults...for now. Garrett & DeVaughn wrap upour HollyWEIRD with an awkward dinner party discussing The Invitation. We discuss the social niceties of LA, the philosophy behind the cult, and how this film was an early template for grief porn in the 2010s. Don't drink the wine!
