Along the way, we touch on his time outwitting adults in a cult-favorite teen sitcom, stepping into sci-fi history through a certain interstellar franchise, and appearing on classic television alongside one of the most recognizable kids of the era.Then it’s game time. Corin jumps into Deep Cuts: The Game, where the clues revolve around three iconic stories about dreams, discovery, and the bonds of youth. Expect deep-cut actors, wild memory pulls, and plenty of nostalgic detours as we see just how far back everyone’s movie memory really goes.
