Corey Feldman (The Goonies, Gremlins) Tries Gear VR

It was a dark and stormy (or clear and hot) night in Los Angeles and I had just attended a Red Carpet event, where to my dismay, I did not see a single Hollywood celebrity (other than Reverend Kyle, Gunter, and the VR celebs of course that would turn this into the longest run on sentence in history if listed). I had shown up, had my beer, and was heading back in the Uber getting ready for the big speech on Thursday about the Gear VR Announcement. As I approached my hotel, I see the following Twitter notification pop up from the good reverend.

I…. just met Corey Feldman. — Reverend Kyle (@reverendkjr) September 24, 2015

Now for those unfamiliar, Corey Feldman starred in The Goonies, Gremlins, Stand by Me, and a host of other huge movies from the 80’s. I was just about to shout at the Uber driver to turn around and head straight back to Pig’n Whistle, but then decided that sleep was more important. This was a huge mistake after seeing the video below that Reverend Kyle just uploaded, where he gets to talk with Corey Feldman and let him try on the Gear VR. Usually we refrain from posting regular non-360 videos, but I’ll make an exception given it’s Corey Feldman & Rev. Kyle.

So this is what life is like in the world of Virtual Reality after events like Oculus Connect shut down for the day. Notice Corey’s attractive entourage he travels along with. Also gaze upon the VR face he makes at the 1:52 mark of the video. With more celebrities like Corey Feldman getting to experience VR, it’s going to be exciting times ahead for what the Hollywood scene might think of coming out with next for Virtual Reality. With that, it’s time to cry myself to sleep again at this missed opportunity. At least I have the video as a constant reminder.

Reverend Kyle is a famous VR personality and host of Rev VR Podcast as well as the new Driving Home with Rev. Kyle, which is extremely entertaining as you join him on his rides home from work as he casually discusses the day’s events in the VR world.

This event was made possible by our friends at VRTUALITY, a VR production & tech company that creates immersive experience, games, and apparently also hooks up people in the VR world with icons like Corey Feldman.
