We kick off the new year with “The Perfect Host”; a film in which… no, that would be telling… We here at WTH are very much of the opinion that this particular film, like revenge, is best served cold. Avoid spoilers, articles and even the trailer in case you miss the opportunity to watch “The Perfect Host” completely fresh, with no idea what’s to come. This episode is packed with spoilers, and we don’t want you to miss that initial experience of seeing it without any idea of where it’s going, so please watch it before listening. We assure you that you will be entertained, amused, baffled, surprised and a lot more besides watching this film, and, like us, come away thinking “why the hell isn’t this film better known?” The only spoiler here is that all at WTH genuinely love this film; and if you like other films we have raved over, you will too.
