Not Couple Goals: ‘Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor’ (2013)

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 squeeze in a wonderfully trashy Tyler Perry movie before Thanksgiving with “Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor” starring Jurnee Smollett, Lance Gross and Robbie Jones. Join them as they defend Kim Kardashian’s stunt casting, struggle with the many ways Perry deserves both praise and derision and generally just act in ways the characters in this movie would damn them to Hell for. Is it a movie or an epic battle between righteousness and the literal Devil? Listen and find out.

Special thanks to Mallory Johns for the introduction music.
