Welcome to ‘Breaking Up’ - a podcast about break-ups, love, pop culture, and emotional renewal, hosted by Isabella Shields and Adam Benmakhlouf. Every week we answer some questions as agony aunts, then discuss what we think are the best examples of break-up in media to help cope with heartbreak and focus on the upside of breaking up.

 

In Part Two of Episode 7 we're talking about some horrifying break-ups and the situations that generate them. We're discussing the films Midsommar (2019; Dir. Ari Aster) and Fatal Attraction (1987; Dir. Adrian Lyne). Big spoilers ahead for both!

Content note: This episode involves discussion of suicide. 

Listen to part one to hear us talk about breaking up over Zoom, partners who keep breaking health guidelines, managing being overwhelmed by your partner and your situation, and whether it's better to break up before or during a global pandemic.

It's our second socially distanced episode so the sound quality isn't as good as it usually is - apologies for that.
