Not Couple Goals: ‘Fatal Attraction’ (1987)

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, Allie and Tyler are joined by returning guests Rin Olsson and Rebecca Ringley of the “Ladies Get Action” podcast. Together they do a deep dive into the seminal romantic thriller, “Fatal Attraction” (1987) starring Glenn Close, Michael Douglas and Anne Archer. Just in time for the TV remake, the gang revisits the “Is Douglas Zaddy?” debate, ponders who the true villain is and unpacks the (better?) alternate ending. 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!
