Special Report: Corey Feldman Versus the World (2025)

About this episode

Mike discusses the documentary 'Corey Feldman vs. the World' with director Marcie Hume, exploring its ethical implications and the portrayal of Feldman's struggles.

Mike talks with director Marcie Hume about making Corey Feldman vs. the World, the ethics of documentary filmmaking, and what it means to capture a subject in freefall. Hume has said the film was never intended as a hit piece, and the documentary bears that out. It presents testimony from Feldman, the Angels, his then-wife Courtney Anne Mitchell, and fans who attended the shows, letting events speak for themselves. What emerges is a portrait of a deeply damaged person caught in cycles he can't seem to break — part tour film, part cautionary tale, and part document of Hollywood's long history of failing the children it exploits.
