Not Couple Goals: Wild Things (1998)

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, Ryan Lee Gilbert, formerly of Broadway.com and current manager of The Mysterious Bookshop to discuss the super-sexy 1998 thriller that we all lied to our parents to watch, Wild Things. Join them as they ask the critical question, “Is Matt Dillon attractive?” and Ryan explains grading Florida on a curve. Also, yeah, they of course talk about the threesome scene. Special thanks to Mallory Johns for the introduction music.
