REVIEW: 'The Invite'

Bob Carol Ted Alice, made in 1969, tells the story of two couples, best friends who are navigating the changing mores of the 1960s in Los Angeles. Bob and Carol (played by Robert Culp and Natalie Wood) have gone semi-hippie; they go to New Age retreats, smoke weed, and have decided to practice radical truth-telling. Bob tells Carol he's had a one-night stand with a Berkeley master's student but it was only physical; she says she's okay with it because he was honest. Bob gets offended that she doesn't care.

Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Images for NetflixTony Hinchcliffe has no regrets about the joke he told about the murder of George Floyd during Netflix’s The Roast of Kevin Hart special, he said, but he is peeved by the way his fellow comedians turned on him. The comedian—who rose to prominence following 2024’s Netflix Roast of Tom Brady and aligned his personal brand with MAGA when he performed at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally later that year, where he called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage”—reflected on his performance during Thursday’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.
