Esther is not only a hero of mine but she also graciously agreed to be a consultant on The Invite, which gives you a sense of how much I admire and respect this woman and how she thinks. On May 18th, I get to sit with her and discuss her groundbreaking and essential book, Mating In Captivity, and how much has changed (or not?) for relationships and sex in the last 20 years. Come join us!
… hustle and bustle …

Everything is on the table. THE INVITE, a hilariously unpredictable new comedy directed by and starring Olivia Wilde, with Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton. In theaters this July.
“Wow mom it turns out you do have a brain” - Otis, 11. Sick burn. I did my second @prenuvo scan after doing it for the first time a year ago and - once again - I’m fascinated by the process and so grateful for the chance to know I’m healthy and my brain isn’t in fact melting and on fire despite the world being a clusterf*ck of doom. I highly recommend this if you’re curious. The experience is a breeze. I fell asleep in the MRI but then again I’m a freak. The radiologists are lovely and happy to explain your results in both medical terminology and English. With 1/20 Prenuvo patients being alerted to potentially life saving findings, it feels worth it.

Still on cloud 9 from the warmth and joy of Sundance and thinking about the process of making The Invite with this wonderful team of actors and writers and I’m just feeling so grateful. These are moments from the workshopping/rehearsal period with @willmccormack and @rashidajones and our brilliant cast. We sat around a table on a soundstage (where the pilot of I Love Lucy was filmed which I couldn’t get over and mentioned several times a day) and poured all of our ideas into this story, as we shaped Will & Rashida’s adaptation of Cesc Gay’s hilarious Spanish film into the movie we’re now so thrilled to bring to theaters thanks to the good folks at @a24 . The generosity of these writers to embrace this brainstorming collective was so profound. The braintrust of Rashida, Will, Seth, Penelope, and Edward was so vulnerable and electric and funny and smart. It was the experience I’ve spent 20 years fantasizing about. What a group of absolute GOATs. I remain in awe ♥️
Olivia Wilde’s third feature as a director, “The Invite” debuted in the 2026 Sundance Film Festival’s Premieres category and it plays like a comedy wired directly into the audience’s nervous system. The script — by Will McCormack and Rashida Jones — is sharp, cruel in the best way, and relentlessly funny, built around a situation so simple it’s practically a dare: one dinner, two couples, and a marriage quietly cracking under the weight of everything left unsaid.
“The Invite” isn’t just a sex comedy or a marital satire. Underneath the jokes is something sadder and more familiar: what happens when two people know, on some level, that it’s over, but can’t bring themselves to say it out loud. Wilde and Rogen are terrific together in that space. Angela and Joe still love each other, but every exchange feels like a negotiation they’re both losing.
