Not Couple Goals: Dead Calm (1989) w/ Rin Olsson

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 week, Allie and Tyler are joined by their special guest, actor and co-host of the Ladies Get Action podcast, Rin Olsson. Together, they discuss the 1989 thriller Dead Calm starring Nicole Kidman, Sam Neill, Billy Zane and the treacherous dog Benji. Join them as they break down the many sources of peril the people in this movie face such as the lawlessness of the open ocean, unlucky lightning strikes and downright cruel age gaps in film casting. Special thanks to Mallory Johns for the introduction music.
