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 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, our favorite movie duo are shocked to discover a movie staring Oscar Isaac and Viggo Mortensen that Allie had not heard of in The Two Faces of January. Join them as they discuss this noir-leaning psychological thriller and ask tough questions about travel, conning people, faking their own deaths and the thankless career of the brilliant Kirsten Dunst.
The Two Faces of January is based on the book of the same title by Patricia Highsmith (1964), and also stars Viggo Mortensen and Oscar Isaac. IT was directed by Hossein Amini (who directed 2017’s The Snowman).
Special thanks to Mallory Johns for the introduction music.
