Lost boys

The star of "Hollywood Medium With Tyler Henry" wasn't even born when "License to Drive" parked in theaters, but he has enough nostalgia running through his 20-year-old veins to offer Corey Feldman aid in an attempt to reach deceased co-star Corey Haim. Let's hope Henry doesn't mix up channels and wind up inviting former pop star Corey Hart over for malts.

"You're the Worst" debuted as a two-hander featuring a pair of selfish slackers who somehow manage to share a bed without hogging the sheets.
