United Kingdom2 months ago - Amazing, spellbinding Podcast that keeps you coming back for more!
I was a casual fan of this film and during one of my long commutes into work I decided to give this podcast a try. Boy am I glad I did. Jim Penola’s voice is hypnotic and his passion for this film shines through each chapter. They way he articulates each scene with intelligent breakdowns and thoughtful observations is truly incredible. I have gone from a casual to obsessive fan of this film and I owe that to Mr. Penola. His interviews with the cast and crew are so well done, you can tell how dev... more

United States3 years ago - Thrilling Companion Piece!
Holy moly what a ride! Absolutely stunning production. Exceptional writing and direction, great audio quality, awesome pacing. Jim Penola’s voice is phenomenal. The intros are not simply script readings but well-crafted radio drama with an awesome cast introduced further in the series. Combined with the soundtrack, sound bites, foley work (what would that be called for radio?) and the fact that the movie and the screenplay deviate from one another, Jim makes it easy for the listener to get swept... more

Apple Podcasts5SproutdrUnited States3 years ago - A hypnotic deep dive into an under-appreciated film
A hypnotic deep dive into an under-appreciated film. This meticulously crafted and deeply insightful exploration of Karyn Kusama’s haunting psychological thriller THE INVITATION is beautifully produced and carefully calibrated (kudos to John Penola for the score!) for a truly hypnotic and meditative experience. Host Jim Penola must be the kind of viewer that filmmakers dream of - uncannily observant, erudite, and finely attuned to and appreciative of every aspect of a film’s creation. If only ev... more
