Retro Spooktacles enters Rich People Are F’n Evil with Teddy’s pick, Would You Rather, David Guy Levy’s 2012 psychological horror thriller about a wealthy philanthropist who turns financial desperation into dinner-party entertainment. Everyone is promised a chance to change their life, but only the host gets to make the rules.

Brittany Snow stars as Iris, a young woman desperate to secure treatment for her brother battling leukemia. Jeffrey Combs plays Shepard Lambrick, the seemingly generous host who invites her and other struggling strangers to compete in a private game of Would You Rather. What begins with humiliating offers quickly becomes a series of increasingly violent choices that force the guests to turn on each other.

Mitcz and Teddy debate the warning signs everyone ignores, Combs’s unnervingly polite performance, the way the rules punish cooperation, and why the film’s devastating ending makes winning feel like another form of losing. Plus, how the movie fits into the wider eat-the-rich horror tradition and where it lands on the Zeitgeistometer.
