sneak peek. Don't hurt us, It's totally
optional to subscribe, but if you're interested you can check
out our Patreon by searching significant lovers Patreon

We are your host. My name is Mel.
And I'm Kel and. I'm with cousins and best
friends and this is a Halloween episode.
Halloween. This is a spooky, spooky couple.
They they are this this is another October episode.
This couple was actually requested to us by our listener
Luna, so just wanted to give a shout out there.
What a great idea and who is this couple?
This couple is Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton.
Could you be any more Gothic? And creepy.
Now I'm wondering if they were both gothic to start or if one
influenced the others image. That's a good question, Mel.
I think we will get into that I. Think you'll find out?
Yeah. I think it's funny, we're doing
another three named person. Yeah, again, this week.
We did Neil Patrick Harris last week.
We're doing HBC Hannah Bonham Carter.
She's never just Helena or Helena Carter or, you know, you
always say the whole thing. I always find, though, that her
name doesn't really roll off the tongue.
It yeah. It is a bit hard to say.
It's a bit hard. I think she's so cool.
I I've always admired her. I think she has, really.
Funky, unique style. And I love her hair.
Crazy curls on the top of her head, actually.
Both of them have out of control curly hair, which is something
they have in common, and they both dress pretty disheveled, so
I think that's funny. But Tim Burton, I never really
knew. I mean, I didn't know much about
her either, but I really didn't know anything about him before
researching this and I didn't even know what he looked like,
really. So honestly mean, I learned.
A lot. He's, I mean, he's not older now
than when they first met, obviously, But yeah, he's got
also this wild hair that he just lets go in any direction.
Yeah, they. Almost.
He doesn't eat little related in that way.
Yeah, you might imagine him to be wearing like a monocle with a
Raven on his shoulder or something based on his movies,
but he is actually a pretty normal guy.
But I'm getting hit by myself, I guess.
Well, I guess before we get into it too, I just want to say thank
you to everybody who subscribed to the Patreon.
We love you. We appreciate you so much.
Thank you so much for the support.
It really makes a difference and it really helps us because we do
put a lot of work into the show and I do.
We do get it. You know, some people, I think
sometimes they're a little bit disappointed if the episodes are
not free every single episode. But it it really makes it, it's
so much easier because we do have fulltime jobs to have a
little bit of support in order to keep going with the podcast.
So thank you so much. Like the Patreon helps us with
the free episodes too. So we really appreciate it.
It's true. And you know, Muna requested
this episode. It's happening.
It might not, you know, we might not be able to listen to your
request right away, but we do listen to people and especially
when we hear like multiple suggestions for the same.
Couple, you know that influences us for sure.
So if I had to describe this couple in three words, I would
say unusual, magnetic, and this is kind of similar to the first
word, but kooky. I love that word.
Me too. And also magnetic.
I say magnetic. Not just because they were very
drawn to each other, but also because I do think that they are
quite different from each other. And I think that that attracted
each other to the other, OK, because they do seem pretty
similar. So I'm curious to hear why you
say? That I know that's like the
age-old thing like similar but different.
I think they have a similar. Aesthetic, But I think
personality wise, they're really different.
Oh, interesting. Well, so.
Who, like what are their personalities?
I honestly have no idea. Like I just.
I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you now, to start, I'm
going to read this description that I liked from the Guardian
just to just to set the scene. I just liked this paragraph.
I read. It said before Burton Bonham
Carter's public image was that of an enjoyably punkish posh
woman. Stephanie Guinness across with
Isabella Blow. I'm not quite sure who that is.
He brought out her goth side and she toned down his more
scissorhandsish tendencies, smiling in photos instead of
staring out with a haunted scowl.
They were so well matched they looked like one of his drawings
come to life. Characters straight out of
Beetlejuice. She appeared in eight of
Burton's films, including Planet of the Apes, Big Fish, Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland and SUNY Todd and
Then. And she said, although I never
got a free ride with Tim because I was sleeping with him, I was
always auditioning and I gave him two kids and everything.
She cackles again. All right, I will have to stop
the episode right there. Thank you so much for listening
to the teaser. If you want to hear the full
episode and many other bonus episodes, you can find them on
Patreon. You can search significant
lovers on the website or download the Patreon app.
It works a lot like regular podcast listening apps, and we
have tons of other couples on Patreon to listen to.
So thank you so much for listening and supporting the
show. And we'll get back together next
week.
