Welcome to “Not Couple Goals” where co-hosts Allie Nelson and Tyler McCarthy do a deep dive into a different ridiculous romantic thriller from the vantage point of their long-term relationship.
Allie, a TV writer/producer and actress, has an affinity for romantic thrillers, the more salacious the better. Tyler, an entertainment reporter and critic, often finds himself drawn in despite his better judgment. Join them as they explore all the ways it’s possible to love too hard… like WAY too hard.
In this episode, they throw it back to an old classic from the early 2000s with Swimfan starring Erika Christensen, Jesse Bradford and Shiri Appleby. Join them as they do a deep dive (pun intended) into the psychology of Madison Bell and whether she’s an apt successor to Glen Close in Fatal Attraction or Jessica Walter in Play Misty For Me. And, of course, discuss the young horny goblins they were when they first saw this movie back in the day. How would they have handled this stalker? Listen and find out.
Special thanks to Mallory Johns for the introduction music.
