Welcome to 'Don't You Want Me?' - a podcast series taking a lighthearted look at the most relatable, intriguing and dysfunctional relationships in film.

In this episode, we’re squeezing into some corduroy flares with 2016’s buddy comedy The Nice Guys, directed by Shane Black and co-written with Anthony Bagarozzi. As the unofficial king of action movies featuring a sprinkling of snow and tinsel, we felt it only right to talk about a Shane Black movie relationship this Christmas season, so let’s stick some Earth, Wind and Fire on the turntable and dive into the pool. This is the second film starring Ryan Gosling that we’ve covered on the podcast, having talked about the love story in 2011’s Drive last year, so if you enjoy any of these episodes, please consider leaving us a rating or review on your podcast app of choice - we’ll send you a stack of questionable magazines and a cracker to pull.
