"Tapping the cringe motherlode", Corey Feldman Vs the World - Pop Screen Episode 159
It's the documentary you never knew you needed, and you do need it. Marcie Hume's chronicle of life on the road with '80s child actor Corey Feldman and his backing band of skimpily-dressed 'Angels' tracks the fallout from his infamous 2016 Today Show performance, which went viral and had the world asking questions like "Is this a sex cult?" and "No, seriously, is this a s*x cult?"
Join Jeff and Graham as they answer all these posers and more, with detours to consider Feldman's episode of Wife Swap, the different eras of his music, and Jeff's experience watching Corey's infamous 2023 Riot Fest performance. We also talk about the 'Two Coreys' years and the strange economics of '80s nostalgia. What are you waiting for? Just Go 4 It!
