Welcome to 'Don't You Want Me?' - a podcast series taking a lighthearted look at the most relatable, intriguing and dysfunctional relationships in film.
Today we’re tucking into some haggis with 1993’s cult comedy classic So I Married an Axe Murderer, directed by Thomas Schlamme. Mike Myers plays a commitment-phobic chap - a recurring theme on this podcast - who meets his match in the form of the beautiful Harriet, played by Nancy Travis, though some meaty issues arise once they start to get to know one another. If you enjoy this episode, please leave us a rating or a review in your podcast app of choice - we would appreciate it more than the world’s largest cappuccino. What is it about the pairing of Harriet and Charlie and all that comes with it that has led to this movie gathering so many devoted fans over the last thirty years? Well, who better to discuss this with than one of the writers of So I Married an Axe Murderer - it’s comedian and communication expert Neil Mullarkey.
