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.
This one is a tough one so please attention to the trigger warnings up top.
Allie and Tyler discuss Nocturnal Animals, a movie that’s hard to find levity in but dammit they find a way. Join them as they discus strategies for roadside confrontation, constantly mistake Jake Gyllenhaal for Jake Johnson and marvel at the works of Aaron Taylor Johnson. Don’t be like Tyler and wait a decade to watch this movie. Do it now and give Not Couple Goals a listen.
Noctural Animals was released in 2016 and was written and directed by fashion designer and filmmaker Tom Ford. Outside of Gyllenhaal and Taylor Johnson, the film stars Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Isla Fisher, Ellie Bamber, Armie Hammer, Michael Sheen, Karl Glusman, Laura Linney, Andrea Riseborough and Jena Malone.
Special thanks to Mallory Johns for the introduction music.
