Movie Topic Idea: Long Engagements

The movie Five-Year Engagement premiered this weekend, starring Jason Segal and Emily Blunt. The plot follows the ups-and-downs of the couple’s long engagement.

Have a show player see the movie, and use it as a topical launch for your show’s relationship content.

Set Up Ideas:

• Ask “Is there anyone listening who” has been engaged for 5 years or longer?

• Solicit for listener stories by asking: What crazy things happened during your engagement that made you cancel or second guess your wedding plans?

• How long is too long to date someone before you become engaged? Discuss. Find the female listener who has been dating the longest without a proposal. Try to get her boyfriend on the phone to find out what’s taking him so long to propose.
