    Not Couple Goals: Twisted Obsession (1989)

    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, Tyler and a raspy-voiced Allie are joined by friend of the podcast and Pop Break favorite Amanda Rivas to discuss the surprisingly little known Jeff Goldblum movie “Twisted Obsession.” Join them as they discuss the hard cuts that imply his character is the worst father imaginable, dive into how much they’re willing to excuse because this movie is European and reveal the many better movies they thought they were watching. Is it possible for a movie to be so bad it negates Goldbulm’s sex appeal? Listen and find out! Special thanks to Mallory Johns for the introduction music. To see more of our hosts, check out Tyler’s writing at USA Insider, SYFY and NBC Insider. Find Allie’s work at Parade and Business Insider!
