Fever Pitch (1997)

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 special football crazy episode, we’re camping outside the Arsenal Stadium with 1997’s Fever Pitch, written by Nick Hornby and directed by David Evans. We covered Stephen Frears’ High Fidelity - also based on a Nick Hornby book - in the first series of this podcast, so if you enjoy this episode do go and catch that one too and perhaps consider leaving us a rating and a review - we’ll owe you a pint. How can a person’s obsession with the great game affect their romantic relationships? And why is it that adults aren't supposed to go mad about anything? Let’s find out. We’ll try not to get too sweary and loud.
