    The Two Coreys: The 80s Teen Idols Who Lost It All

    Corey Haim and Corey Feldman were teen actors in the 80s who became known as The Two Coreys. They seemed to have it all: money, fame, and the adoration of millions. But behind the scenes, their lives were falling apart. Disclaimer: Sensitive topics of addiction and abuse are discussed in this episode. I share the names of some individuals who have been named by Corey Haim and/or Corey Feldman as their abusers (as published in other media). These discussions are merely allegations--none of these individuals have ever been charged for these accuastions. Whether or not you believe these allegations are up to you!

    MTV changed the music scene forever when it launched in 1981. But that launch was very shaky with very few people watching.

    The Matrix: The Making of An Iconic Film

    When the first Matrix movie first came out in 1999, everyone was talking about it. Y2K was on the horizon so a film about the machines taking over was perfect timing. But there were also stunts and camera work that Americans had never seen before, a ton of Easter eggs you just had to see for yourself, and non-stop action that kept you on the edge of your seat. In this episode, I break down how this movie came together and why it's still so good after all these years. If you want to support the channel, please check out my website: https://shop8099.com
