SELLEST OSAST
This week Elo recommends Olivia Wilde's new A24 film The Invite – an off-beat comedy starring Wilde alongside Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton, about a married couple who invite their upstairs neighbours around and things get weird pretty quickly. No spoilers, but we do discuss how the film was partly inspired by the breakdown of Wilde's relationship with Jason Sudeikis, and why after the chaos of Don't Worry Darling, The Invite feels like a genuine redemption arc – and whether that's even a fair framing.
Then Urs brings us a recent New York Times essay making the case that we should all be dating our coworkers. We discuss the concept of the "Office 10", why workplace romance has declined so sharply in recent years, and whether the apps have made us forget how to fall for someone we actually know.
Plus, we discuss the definition of the word 'ambivalent'. Spoiler: it probably doesn't mean what you think it means.
A fun one. Not experts. Just enthused.
