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 hopping into a lift with one of the highest-grossing films of 1987, Fatal Attraction. This was directed by Adrian Lyne and written by fellow Brit James Dearden, based on a short film he’d made in 1980 called Diversion. At the Academy Awards in 1988, the movie received six nominations and remains one of the most talked-about Hollywood blockbusters ever made. What is it about this erotic thriller that continues to seep into the public consciousness like a slow dripping tap? We’re going to try and find out. If you enjoy this episode please consider leaving us a rating or a review on your podcast app of choice. We’ll owe you a tub of Haagen-Dazs.
