439 - Swimfan (2002)

Ben Cronin had the perfect life until he met the new girl. New month and a new theme! Love is in the air with our theme TAINTED LOVE. We start the new theme with the 2002 diet Fatal Attraction film SWIMFAN. A momentary fling with a mysterious classmate pulls a young athlete into a tightening web of obsession. The more he tries to pull away, the more dangerous she becomes. Also this week: Icee or Slush Puppy, Ben and Lance enjoy the Default song "Wasting Time", and remember the car theft deterrent "The Club"? All this--and a whole lot more--on this week's episode of NEON BRAINIACS!! "Tell me you love me. You don't have to mean it, but just say it." ----- Check out our Patreon for tons of bonus content, exclusive goodies, and access to our Discord server! ----- Swimfan (2002) Directed by John Polson Written by Charles F.
