Episode 587 - The Invite (Retro Review - One Night in Miami)

This week on CinemaChat, we’re reviewing The Invite (2026), the new comedy that turns an innocent dinner invitation into an increasingly uncomfortable night between friends. We break down the film’s awkward humor, escalating tension, and the way one evening manages to expose quite a bit about the people sitting around the table.

We also talk about the cast and chemistry, which jokes land best, how well the movie balances comedy with relationship drama, and whether The Invite has enough going on beyond its central premise to make the night worth attending. Does The Invite live up to the hype of being "The Funniest Film of the Year"? Listen to find out...

We also have a RETRO REVIEW this week. We take you back to a review we did around the pandemic days of another small-cast, small location story, One Night in Miami that we recorded back in 2021.
