Not Couple Goals: Killing Me Softly (2002)

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 special guest, Pop Break allstar and “Star Wars” human encyclopedia Amanda Rivas to discuss the confounding straight-to-dvd erotic thriller “Killing Me Softly,” starring Heather Graham and Joseph Fiennes, written by Kara Lindstrom and directed by Kaige Chen, based on the book by Nicci French. Listen as they muse about how two attractive actors can make sex look so bad, the dos and don’ts of “scarfing” and why you should never trick your partner into hiking a mountain on your wedding day. How much is too much when it comes to telling the police about your sex life? Tune in to find out! Special thanks to Mallory Johns for the introduction music.
