Not Couple Goals: Nocturnal Animals (2016)


Listen Later

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 pay attention to the trigger warnings up top. Allie and Tyler discuss Nocturnal Animals, a movie that’s hard to find the levity in but dammit they find a way. Join them as they discuss strategies for roadside confrontation, constantly mistake Jake Gyllenhaal for Jake Johnson and marvel at the work 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.

Special thanks to Mallory Johns for the introduction music.
