S31E13: Messy (Across the Pond) | Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh and Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton

In this encore mash-up, Alicia brings us the 90s-era heartbreaker split with the marriage and divorce of actors Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh. Then, Stacie continues the thread with actress Helena Bonham Carter, whose post-Branagh relationship, with director Tim Burton, began every bit as controversially as the one with Ken had.
