Speaker 1 (00:00):
Alabama's Morning News. I'm JT. I'm going to date myself here.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Is one of my favorite television shows ever was La
Law and Corbyn Burnston played a character named Arnie Becker. Yeah,
you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you watch
the show. What a great guy, Corbyn joins us. Now, Corbyn,
I'm so glad to have you along here this morning.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Well, it's great to hear. Thanks. Man. It's always fun
to go back and hard to believe La Law is
something going on forty years ago? How about that?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I wow, I'm just thinking about that the other day.
You know, it's like ridiculous, how long ago that was.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
That's the funny thing when you do a show like
that that you're so a part of your life. And
I suppose if somebody had a job or something that
and you look at it that was forty years ago,
you do say, oh my god, this this journey is quick. Yeah,
because it does feel like yesterday. Yeah, it does.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Well, you know you were talking about you know, I
know you did Psych for what La Law was eight seasons?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
And so was Psych? Right, wasn't Psych? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
And I never saw that, but I had friends that
watched Psych and said, you got to check it out,
and I you know, is some shows you get on,
some shows you don't.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
But I never missed La Law.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
But you know, talk to me about Psych and what
that series was all about.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I'm sure it's still available.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, you can get everybody. Well, I mean it's got
a life. I mean much more than La Law. La Law.
It's very hard to find. I think they did some
DVD releases for a while. I think it's streams somewhere.
You can get anything now, I'm sure, but Psych has
got this like that just continues on. We've done three
movies after it. I played the father of a kid
was played by James Rede Rodriguez, who is a I'm
(01:40):
a cop and he solves crimes by pretending to be
a psychic and it's really his power of observation that
he do. Lay Hill is partner in crime, so to speak,
solve these cases. But really at the end of the day,
that was it was great. There was always a crime
of the week kind of thing that we saw. Are
they solved? But it's really about family. There's a show
(02:04):
very much about family, and I not mushy, but just
the better part of the family. The highlights, below lights
and all of them. And it's just resonated with people.
It resonated in these strange, weird, troubling times. It resonated,
and our fan base has becomes sort of the facto
(02:26):
part of our entire Psyche family.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Now I got something for the holidays to look forward
to besides Chevy Chase and Christmas vacation.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
People watch it like eight times, they say, like people
come and say they see the entire thing eight times.
I'm thinking that you're watching it morning, noon and night
every day.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I want to talk to you about the horror thriller here.
And I'm not a big horror fan, but if it's
a thriller, you bring me in. Let's go and build
them which is available now on demand. I saw a
couple of dates on this. Was it twenty twenty four,
twenty twenty five, when this one came out This.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Year is in twenty five. We shot it last year
in twenty twenty four when I first got the script,
and you know, I have a lane in my life
that's devoted to horror. From Tales from the Hood, The Dentist,
a couple other things until they came out last year
called Marshmallow that sort of had a little indie following,
(03:19):
not these sort of big franchise you know, scream horror movies. Yeah,
really more of the indie horror and which is a
wonderful place to be. And then this script came along
and it wasn't just you know, Slasher Gore any of
that kind of stuff, although there are some really freaky,
spooky moments, but it looks psychological a little bit. I
(03:42):
lean my horror leans a little bit more toward Alfred
Hitchcock or Twilight Zone, you know, human where the mind
wants to go. And we've got birds in this, so
there's a little bit of a reaching back to Alfred
Hitchcock in that way. Birds freaked me out, just freet me,
especially crows.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Like, So, what a in a nutshell? What is the
story of Beldom? What is what in a nutshell?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
That's a hard one, man, But I'll try to say.
It's a story about a woman who had a problem
with her She has an infant and goes home tolive
with her mother because of this problem, and things are
not what they appear to be in this house and
with her and this child that she has, which may
or may not be real, and it's it's a lot
(04:34):
about mother, It's a lot of bits you get older.
It's a little bit about what happens when we age
as well and the way we perceive things. So that's
the twist. Love it, but I can't give much morey
it's a tough one to not give away.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
No, I'm looking forward to it and it's on demand
right now. Beldam is the name of the movie.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Corbyn.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
You've done so many different things in different genres and
different themes of shows, television, movies, and you worked with
some really cool people.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Of all the folks you've worked with, like Robert Downey Jr.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Or El Kilmer back in Kis Kiss, Bang Bang, and
Tom Berenger and you know, Major League and Charlie Sheen.
Of all the people you've worked with, who would you
say was probably the closest to you still.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Closest to me? Still that's it. I think you're going
in a different direction, like who elevated my craft more?
That was Robert Downey Jr. You know, there was something
about working with him, you know, dancing with him in
the scene is a whole different level. I'm also Emma Stone,
who I did recently. I did a series called The
Curse with you get those guys that caliber and just
(05:37):
stuff jumps up val Even and his bang bag. But
who remains close the people from La Law. You know,
we go back Susan Wortand who played my secretary. She
She's remains a close friend, Michael and Jill Tucker from there.
So I mean I pretty much in contact with all
(05:59):
those people. Charlie I'm going to see this weekend at
a sports convention where we go and you know, rehash
old major league stuff. I keep a I don't see
Charlie often, but we always have a great time when
we get together.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
So Robert Downey Jr. Is amazing to me, as you
mentioned too. I mean, what a guy that can lift
up a craft and certainly developed his craft and came
through so many different things in his life.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Do you ever run into him or talk with him anymore?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Ye for a couple of years. Yeah, but he's always
so coming in generous every time I do. I'm just amazed.
I mean, if you think about this is a guy
who woke up in a house in Malibu and didn't
know where he was in somebody's dead yea to all
the strange stuff he went through to now just being
you know, a sort of a captive into the industry
(06:46):
if you went together, really together. And I think he's
a great phenomenal story of you know, coming out of
a dark period and really just making the commitment to
take his life in a different direction and see the
potent and just one of the nicest guys I met.
Besides being explored.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I'm so glad to hear that before grab that.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And you're a chaplain, You're a movie you know. To me,
you're a wardable actor.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Well, I got to tell you, I'm a big fan
of yours.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I always have been since you know, back in the
days when I was watching you as Arnie Becker on
La Law. And now this new show or movie. I
can't wait to see a Beldam. I'm looking forward to it. It's
available on demand. And Corman, thanks again, man, congrats on
