Not Couple Goals: ‘The Fly’ (1986)

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 PopBreak all-star Amanda Rivas and “Not Couple Goals” newcomer Brandon Vice for our Halloween double date of “The Fly” starring Jeff Goldblum and Gina Davis. Listen as they discuss whether the thirst for Goldblum is justified, whether this movie actually fits the romantic thriller genre and Allie clarifies the story about her encounter with the man himself. Is this movie a winner or a Brundlefly-like abomination? Listen and find out. Special thanks to Mallory Johns for the introduction music.
