After one Corey-less Sunday (unless you count last week’s reruns, which we don’t), we’re back with a recap of the fifth episode of the season. It begins with Corey Feldman and Susie looking back on last episode’s dinner with Corey Haim and looking ahead to the filming reshoots for Lost Boys: The Tribe — which, by the way, is scheduled to be released July 29 on DVD and Blu-Ray. Here’s the film’s trailer, for those who are interested.
It’s another week, and we’ve got two more episodes of The Two Coreys to dissect. “Career Moves” begins with Corey Haim trying to get his career back on track. Wait, hasn’t he been here before?
OK, that was a lame excuse to show a video most of us have already seen, but does it ever really get old? Anyway, Haim can’t get work without a publicist and he can’t get a publicist, he thinks, without an assistant — so he sets out to hire a personal assistant to make a few calls on his behalf. Based on his phone conversations with prospective applicants, he’s looking for a computer hacker. Yeah, this is totally going to work out well.
Coincidentally, Corey Feldman is looking for an assistant, too. He’s thinking of hiring an obsessed fan named Jake who looks like Pauly Shore. Thank God the Coreys are actors, because … well, let’s just say that their instincts when it comes to hiring people are not well-suited for a corporate environment.
As a result, as we head into the Season 2 premieres of A&E’s The Two Coreys (we get two episodes this week, “Showdown” and “Couples Therapy”), the Felddog and the Haimster haven’t seen each other in six months. Seriously, if Congress has time to investigate Roger Clemens and the steroids issue in baseball, surely it could have intervened to get the Coreys back together. Fortunately, we have reality TV to once again step in where government has failed us.
