So go seek this out immediately and fucking 37 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.000 suffer through it because I did.

Misery 39 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.680 Loves Company, Spend the night with Stephen King. 40 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.159 It is. This is readily available on YouTube. This is 41 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.840 called Corey Hame, Me, Myself and I. This is from 42 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.800 nineteen eighty nine. Now it's no secret to or maybe 43 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:56.240 younger people may not know Corey Hame or understand his story, 44 00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.120 but those of us who grew up with Corey Haym's 45 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:04.800 movies and saw his downfall understand that he was. He 46 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:08.039 had a really tough life. There's no getting around that 47 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:12.039 he was abused as a child actor in ways that 48 00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:16.599 it's hard for anybody to fathom. Okay, this led to 49 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:21.680 serious drug and alcohol problems, mainly drug He may not 50 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.639 have even had an alcohol issue. I take that back. 51 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.080 I think it was mainly drugs, but he was hooked 52 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:32.479 on drugs for most of his life. In this case, 53 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:37.159 fresh out of his first stint in rehab, he made 54 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.639 this video called Me Myself and I. This was marketed 55 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:45.840 as something to sell to teeny boppers who couldn't get 56 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:51.080 enough of the teen idol Corey Haym. But people who 57 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:56.439 watch this, adults, people who don't have his teen scene 58 00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:59.240 magazine pictures all over their wall, understand that this is 59 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:04.319 actually not a piece of fluff. This was an attempt 60 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.919 to show the world in Hollywood, in particular FA them alone, 61 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:12.479 that Corey Ham was sober, in good shape, and ready 62 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.439 to work. That was the really some total purpose of 63 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:20.120 this was to prove to his peers in Hollywood that hey, 64 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:22.439 I know, you guys heard that I was in rehab 65 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.079 and I'm not. Maybe I wasn't doing so well, but hey, 66 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.360 look at me. Now, I look great, don't I. I 67 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.519 can do all these things. I can play sports, I 68 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:34.240 can act, I can I can model. I am ready 69 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.439 to go back to work, and in fact we'll talk 70 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.800 about it. But he says those very words in the 71 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.079 midst of this movie. So, but let's take the conceit 72 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.439 that this is just a fluff piece, which it's really not. 73 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:52.600 This was him just being filmed verite style, doing his things. 74 00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:53.439 Very generous. 75 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.079 I am Verite's high falutin word to describe what's going 76 00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.439 on here. But it's a day in the life of 77 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:03.839 Corey Haynes. He's playing tennis, he's playing hockey, he's going 78 00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:08.160 for a drive in his Alpha Romeo convertible he's modeled. 79 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:12.759 This whole thing is completely insidious. The idea here is 80 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:16.160 that they're selling stuff, basically to his fan club. This 81 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.319 is a video of a day in the life of Corey. 82 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:22.079 He's good again all as well, But really it is 83 00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:26.120 just an attempt to let the industry know I'm ready 84 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:30.319 to work. It is so boneheaded. Please continue, we'll get 85 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:30.759 into it. 86 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:33.759 As I said, this was from nineteen eighty nine, and 87 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.720 the thing of it is ultimately aside from dream a 88 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.839 Little Dream, which I think actually was filmed before this. Yes, 89 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:47.480 it's worth noting that Corey Hame never really acted in 90 00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.600 a true big budget movie ever again after this, unless 91 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.240 you count. He had a Don't Blink you Know miss 92 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.680 a cameo in Dicky Roberts Former Child Star, and also 93 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:02.480 a brief cameo in Crank High Voltage, that Jason Statham sequel. 94 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:03.319 Do you remember that movie? 95 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:05.759 I remember it, but I don't remember him in it. 96 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:10.399 He's a mulleted boyfriend of Amy Smart who gets his 97 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.439 ass kicked. It's literally a five minute scene. He's not 98 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.600 in it very much. But my point is the gambit 99 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:22.720 didn't work. In the least, people understood the problems that 100 00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.920 this guy had and they were manifold. He never really 101 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:29.160 He did a lot of low budget direct to video movies. 102 00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:33.240 He famously tried. He think it's got so dire that 103 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:37.360 he tried to sell a tooth and clumps of hair 104 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:41.639 on eBay because he was for a while, he was homeless. 105 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.319 He was in such dire straits. So it's a very 106 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.959 sad tale. That much is not in dispute at all. 107 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.720 But let's take the conceit of this movie. In quotes, 108 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.199 in and of the time that it was presented, And 109 00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.319 we'll go with that because we all understand he had 110 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.160 a fucked up life. But at the end of the day, 111 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.040 you are responsible for your choices, and he made a 112 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:07.040 fuckload of bad choices, starting with this movie. 113 00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:11.040 Making this movie, which was your Corey, my Corey. 114 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.879 If we're talking Lost Boys, which auld e zenith. 115 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:20.600 Of you, and I am talking overall overall for time 116 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:24.639 at the time, let's say, well around so yeah, let's 117 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:30.040 say let's say license to drive. At that point, who 118 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:31.079 are you favor. 119 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:35.279 Look, if I'm being perfectly honest, it was Corey Feldman, 120 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.959 because look at he was in the Goonies. 121 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.680 Mouth. He was Mouth, He's in Gremlins. 122 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:42.560 He was in. 123 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.279 Gremlins, he was in Stand by Me, and he, truth 124 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.959 be told, he is great in all of these, Wasn't 125 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:50.759 He was also in the Burbs, Wasn't he? 126 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:52.879 He sure was. He's not as great in that. He 127 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:54.480 is great in all of these though. 128 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.120 So look, if I say that at the time I 129 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.279 was would have been on the Feldin's side. That people 130 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.839 don't remember that. They only see the nutcase that is 131 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:10.399 playing these awful guitar solos with this terrible band, somebody 132 00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:14.279 who fancies himself a pop star for the new millennium, 133 00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:17.240 and he's awful. He's a whack job. He's got that 134 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.600 group the was it like Feldman's Angels or Cory's Angels. 135 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.439 This weird cult that he has of these beautiful women 136 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:26.959 that he keeps in his house and he monitors what 137 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.879 they eat and what they wear. He's not a good guy. 138 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:32.519 I'm not saying that, but I'm saying, if you're telling 139 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:36.759 me in the eighties who my favorite actor was, between 140 00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:39.080 Haim and Feldman, I'm going Feldman, how about you? 141 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.960 I liked Feldman, but I as an actor, I think 142 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:48.200 I appreciated Haym more because he was the star of 143 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:51.000 Silver Bullet, which is a Stephen King adaptation of his 144 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:55.240 novel or his novelette cycle of the were Wolf. I 145 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:58.360 loved him in that. I loved Lucas, thought that was great. 146 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:00.559 He was great in that. What's the thing he did 147 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.320 right before Lost Boys? One other thing? 148 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:03.919 Oh? 149 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:04.559 Firstborn? 150 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:08.799 Oh my god, he's the little brother in First Born too. Yeah. 151 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:11.279 I have a great anecdote about Firstborn. I don't have 152 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.559 ever heard this story about what happened that This will 153 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:15.679 make you sympathize with him a little bit. 154 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.480 So it was Peter Weller like just smacking him around 155 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:19.279 all over the set. 156 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:21.399 Yes, how did you know? 157 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:22.519 I didn't. 158 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:23.279 I just figured. 159 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:28.000 The story goes that this was Hames's first feature. Firstborn 160 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.840 nineteen eighty four, he was thirteen years old. After a 161 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:36.360 good take, he went to congratulate. Peter Weller responded by 162 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:40.200 throwing Hame against the wall and shouting at him never 163 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.759 to talk to him. After a take, he had to 164 00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:47.360 have three crew members separate them. Now Wellder apologized later 165 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.159 and chalked it up to method acting, but the end 166 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:55.039 result was Haines was terrified, and which may work because 167 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:58.200 that was the point was Peter Weller was a bad guy. 168 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.360 So you can say it it's method acting, but come on, 169 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:03.000 he's a thirteen year old kid. 170 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:06.879 That's beyond the pale. But actually not without the realm 171 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:10.279 of possibility with that guy. I know somebody who used 172 00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:14.240 to see mister Weller. That's all romantic. I mean, like 173 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:19.519 you can, I guess call it romantically. Okay, yeah, there's 174 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:24.360 yeah anyway, okay, And what she said was God forbid, 175 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.039 you were talking when Peter Weller sponts Peter Weller on 176 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.960 a television because he's like, shut up and turns it 177 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.320 on and turns the volume up and then stares in 178 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.399 rapt attention watching himself. 179 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:40.039 And the best actors actually hate seeing themselves, like they 180 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.200 refuse to watch their own performances. 181 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.639 That made the viewers. If you want that actual story, 182 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:46.679 you can write to me. I'll tell you. I'll tell 183 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:47.360 you the whole thing. 184 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.600 Did you know he had a cameo and Batman and 185 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:51.840 Robin I didn't know that. 186 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.840 I didn't know that he was a biker gang man. 187 00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:56.159 I was gonna say he must have been one of 188 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.799 the gang members. Yeah, Yeah, Joel Schumacher throwing him some work. 189 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.039 He went from Lucas to a TV show called Roomies. 190 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.320 This is Bert Young Paulie from Rocky. A forty two 191 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.519 year old marine sergeant and a fourteen year old fish 192 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:15.240 obsessed genius strike a perfect and reciprocal balance as college 193 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:16.279 freshman roommates. 194 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.480 He's a forty two year old EGS marine, He's a 195 00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.159 fourteen year old boy genius. 196 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.840 Together, they'll trash the freshman class in Rubies premiering Friday. 197 00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:29.039 Hey, he's an old guy, he's a young guy. They're 198 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.320 in college together. How wacky is that? 199 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:36.120 God, the eighties are just rife with He's a garbage man, 200 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.799 she's he's germaphobe, that's right. 201 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:42.559 How will they ever get along? But I think you 202 00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:45.720 and I can agree that The Lost Boys was the 203 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.240 highlight of his career bar none. 204 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.720 Absolutely, My God, was there a bigger picture? I don't 205 00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:53.519 think so, it's definitive. 206 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:56.559 I mean we obviously it's one of our favorites. 207 00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.360 Everyone listening to this has seen Lost Boys, but they 208 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:00.759 might not have seen Lucas. 209 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:04.360 In fact, if memory serves, you're the one who introduced 210 00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:06.360 me to Lost Boys because I wasn't much of a 211 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:10.080 horror fan in high school, and I remember you showing 212 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:14.000 me a double feature of Lost Boys and Near Dark 213 00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:17.279 to prove to me that Near Dark was the superior 214 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:21.879 vampire film. And of course you were right, as always, so. 215 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.320 Not always, but in that case, definitely, Near Dark is 216 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:28.639 a superior vampire movie. Came out the same year it 217 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:32.159 was a Revelation, So as I was a senior Dark, 218 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:35.639 I got to see Near Dark completely cold. Okay. I 219 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.759 had a friend, Brian McMahon, whose father was police officer, 220 00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:42.039 who used to get us into movies for free. He 221 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:44.159 would just flash his badge at the box office and 222 00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:47.159 would take it. There you go. So every Saturday he 223 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.279 would take Brian and I to the movies and we 224 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.840 would watch a double feature. And on that day we 225 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.360 saw I knew we were going to see this Charlie 226 00:12:55.399 --> 00:13:00.200 Sheen horse stealing movie with I forget this name. It's 227 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:04.080 called like Wasteland or something like that. And after that 228 00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:06.600 we sat down to a movie I knew nothing about. 229 00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:09.360 I'd never heard of. It just started and suddenly that 230 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:12.600 half the cast of aliens is on screen and their vampires. 231 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:14.600 Holy shit, it's great. 232 00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:17.279 In fact, I'm gonna insist people who haven't seen Near 233 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:20.879 Dark pause this podcast. Go watch Near Dark. It's got 234 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.200 nothing to do with Corey ham or what we're discussing here, 235 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:27.240 but do yourself a favor and see it. It is. 236 00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:30.399 It transcends horror. It's just a great fucking movie. 237 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:32.679 Yeah, you're gonna need it. You're gonna need it as 238 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:35.320 a palate cleanser after you watch the YouTube version of 239 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:38.919 Corey ham Me myself and kill me already you will. 240 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.440 So this was actually a released video. This had a 241 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.120 box It had an inscription from Corey on the back 242 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:49.000 saying dear fans, thanks for your support. I hope you 243 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.480 enjoy this as much as we enjoyed making it. Love 244 00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:55.440 Corey Hame. This wasn't just some industry like I always 245 00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:57.480 had this image in my mind that this was just 246 00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:01.200 something that was passed around in the industry. Somebody got 247 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.240 a hold of this tape. But it was never. No, 248 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:06.120 this was a released video that you could rent in 249 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.799 video stores with copy on the back and a case 250 00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:12.919 and everything. So this video Father Malone was written and 251 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:17.679 co directed by Brooke McCarter. Now, I know we've talked 252 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:19.600 a little bit about this ahead of time. You have 253 00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:22.240 a story about Brooke mcarter, do you not? 254 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:22.519 Now? 255 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.799 Who is Brook macarter? Tell everybody Brooke. 256 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:27.000 Mcarter is one of the Lost Boys. He is the 257 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:30.399 death by stereo lost boy kill Marcoys. 258 00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:32.840 Yeah. 259 00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:35.519 Yeah, And he also showed up in a new Twilight 260 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.600 Zone episode. He was quite good in I mean, he 261 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:40.159 was a good actor. Actually he's passed away since then. 262 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:41.440 He died of liver cancer. 263 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:43.039 Who that's sad. 264 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:45.960 Now many years ago. One of my earlier podcasts is 265 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.559 called Dark Destinations. It is a radio drama basically, and 266 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:52.159 it takes place Each episode takes place in a different 267 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.240 fictional environment, and one of them takes place in Santa Carla. 268 00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.720 And at the time, I was trying to popularize the show, 269 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:03.559 and I joined a Facebook group of Lost Boys and 270 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:07.159 oh my god, okay, so yeah, I had seen this 271 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.000 meme that was showing the Lost Boys from the movie 272 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:13.759 all young and beautiful and perfect, and then a shot 273 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.000 of them fifteen years later where they all looked old 274 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:19.559 and fat, and underneath it said party all night, never 275 00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:21.559 grow old, never die, It's fun to be a vampire. 276 00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.759 That was funny. I posted in the group and I 277 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:29.039 got shelacked. Man, I had people threatening my life. 278 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:30.440 Wow. 279 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:37.399 Yeah, I got a voice message on Facebook from this 280 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:42.360 lunatic because evidently Brooke Macarter. I had known this at 281 00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:45.080 the time. Brook Macarter had already passed away from liver cancer. 282 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:49.039 But they were just like, how dare you His family 283 00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:52.440 could see this? They're on here and blah blah blah, 284 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.960 And I like took it down because there was such vitriol. 285 00:15:57.159 --> 00:16:00.759 But then the same person then sent it to Brooke 286 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:05.360 Macarter's family to call me out. He said, this person 287 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:07.360 was like, you need to take this down because it 288 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:09.960 might offend the family if they see it, and then 289 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:11.960 when I did he sent it to the family. 290 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:16.200 What a lunatic. Yeah, that's the definition of a social 291 00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:17.559 justice warrior right there. 292 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:19.960 Insanity anyway, Brook macart. 293 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:22.720 Wow, Now the thing is like, I never read that 294 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.840 Corey Feldman memoir. I think it's called choreography. 295 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:27.679 God almighty, how could anyway? 296 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:32.000 But he may be an unreliable narrator in this case, 297 00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:35.440 but according to him, it's my understanding that he didn't 298 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:38.720 have a very high opinion of Brooke McCarter. I think 299 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:41.960 because at the time that this video was made, Brooke 300 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:45.440 McCarter was living with Ham, and he was acting as 301 00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:49.080 a kind of manager slash life coach, and I think 302 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:52.360 in Feldman's way of thinking, he was a hanger on 303 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:55.200 somebody who was not good for Corey Ham and an 304 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:56.480 enabler in some way. 305 00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:59.559 I wonder how much as writer director of this video 306 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:01.159 he received for a fee. 307 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:04.559 How much he received for as payment. Yeah, I don't know, 308 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:06.839 because I don't have any idea of how much this 309 00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:10.319 thing actually sold or how popular it was in its day. 310 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:14.880 I'm just saying, was the motivation here to rehabilitate Corey's 311 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.640 career or was it to make a buck on Corey 312 00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:21.200 when you still could, because if he actually got rehabilitated 313 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:23.079 and started starring in movies, that was the last time 314 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:23.839 you were going to see him. 315 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:27.799 It's look, I've seen this probably more than any one 316 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:30.720 person should have watched it, and I can't answer that question. 317 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.720 It's still there's mysteries around this thing that will never 318 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.920 be solved, and the direction is definitely a big one. 319 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:41.839 But so he's interesting that one of his co stars 320 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.559 and the Lost Boys directed this thing. Directing is an 321 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:49.000 odd word to use because just to describe this, I'll 322 00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:51.559 get into the nuts and bolts, but this thing could 323 00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:55.599 not be any more eighties. The actual look of it, 324 00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:00.599 because it's it switches between color and black and white 325 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:06.200 and that high speed shutter stroby thing, which immediately marks 326 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:10.559 it as a late eighties artifact. And it's not just 327 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:14.839 Corey talking to the camera. There's some interview bits in 328 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:18.559 him talking in voiceovers, but an awful lot of it 329 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:21.920 is just it's almost like he's filming the behind the 330 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.240 scenes of what it is he's trying to direct. So 331 00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:29.039 if he's trying to film Corey playing tennis, it's not 332 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:31.799 enough to just show him playing tennis. He has to 333 00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:36.119 show the camera operators setting up on the court with 334 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:40.880 the steady cam crab walking backwards while Corey does sets 335 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:43.400 up a shot. Okay, let's try that one again, and 336 00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:46.960 they do another shot. It's I don't know any teeny 337 00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:49.759 bopper who would have had the patience to sit through 338 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:53.359 this thing, because it's not just Corey being Corey. It's 339 00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:57.039 like you're getting a making of at the same time. 340 00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:01.119 It's unlike anything else I've ever seen fa them alone 341 00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:02.720 in that respect. 342 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:06.559 I guess in that regard, it is a breakthrough. While 343 00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:08.640 you're watching the final product. 344 00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:12.680 And throughout, by the way, there is this incessant new 345 00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:14.720 Jack swing groove playing. 346 00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:17.640 I don't know, and I mentioned it it was interminable. 347 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.079 It's so weird. It's like somebody got themselves in an 348 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.759 eight o eight drum machine and it's just like the 349 00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:27.759 swing beat with the with a bass playing and there's 350 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:31.039 no vocals. It's just it's like you're on and you're 351 00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:34.039 in an elevator circle nineteen eighty nine and it's that 352 00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:37.920 version of Musaic playing over the elevator. It's very it's grating, 353 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.279 there's no other word for it. It just gets so annoying. 354 00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:43.880 But maybe when we wear a too long coat. 355 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:47.720 Start doing the Roger Rabbit dance. 356 00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:52.359 Move, and any a too like a zoot suit, pocket. 357 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:57.359 Chain, like parachute pants, and vanilla ice because he has 358 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.640 a vanilla ice look to him at times. He's got 359 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:01.599 like the sort. 360 00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:04.559 Of Africa medallion fashioned in leather. 361 00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:09.319 So we start out there's a sequence. If we're going 362 00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:12.799 to break this up into chunks, the first chunk of 363 00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:17.599 this movie is footage of Corey playing a lot of sports. 364 00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:22.640 He plays hockey. He's wearing a custom Bruins jersey Amster. 365 00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:28.359 It Saysmesister Hamster twenty two on the back. It's like 366 00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:32.319 his own personal Bruins jersey. And by by playing, I 367 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:35.599 mean he's mainly skating around and taking one on one 368 00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:38.880 shots at the goal. There's an Elvis vibe to some 369 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:42.000 of this, Father Malone, because it's like Elvis. 370 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:42.960 That's the way it is. 371 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:47.200 It's people whose job it is to make him look good, 372 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:51.200 whether he's playing tennis or like I said, he's playing hockey. 373 00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:54.079 There's a goalie who's missing every shot that he's shooting 374 00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:57.680 at him. There's a bit where he's playing baseball and 375 00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:02.440 they're just shagging grounders and whatever else. But it's all 376 00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:06.720 of these people who are there in service to Corey Haim. 377 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:11.640 But I can't imagine any of them weren't aware of 378 00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:16.119 his serious substance abuse problems, because it's on full display here. 379 00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:19.920 As much as he says to the camera, hey, I'm good, 380 00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:24.759 I'm ready to work, you can see by his interview footage, 381 00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:26.960 like there's a sequence that they repeat back. They go 382 00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:29.880 back to several times of him on a couch and 383 00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:31.400 he's getting. 384 00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:32.880 I had a hard time watching this scene. 385 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:37.119 It was hard because he's getting They're giving him questions 386 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:39.759 like at one point, I have some of this written 387 00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:43.079 down here. He there's one of them. He fidgets, He 388 00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:47.000 makes odd facial expressions. He's getting these rambling kind of 389 00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:53.200 adult responses, which if your goal is to convey health 390 00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:59.119 and well being, this is conveying the exact opposite message. 391 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:02.880 Because at one point he says, this is a direct couit. 392 00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:04.640 He says, so as far as my fans up there 393 00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:07.920 being in, like help Corey, where's our Corey? On the 394 00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:10.839 whole misconception thing from the people out there, they have 395 00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:13.160 every right to feel the way they do, and things 396 00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:14.839 are great with me. As you see, I'm in very 397 00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:17.400 good shape now and on the ball things are happening 398 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.519 me saying that doesn't do justice to the facial ticks 399 00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:25.319 that he's got going on. In the ram, he says 400 00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:28.200 it there things are. I'm in very good shape now. 401 00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:31.039
