Light of Day

He is also in the ninth configuration.

Vampire Mommy, The Eternal, Light of Day, Toy Soldiers, Finding Home, Rudy, and The Exorcist 3.

He has a bit role as Patient X.

The last one I'm going to cover is Max von Sydow as Father Marin.

But it is funny, 'cause then we get the Michael J.

Fox movie, um, Light of Day, which I've never seen-

Yeah, I don't know it

...

Yeah

... 90 grand, 90 grand in '85 on a video, they're probably like, "What the fuck?" Uh, it later appeared in, uh, the '87 movie Light of Day with Michael J.

Fox and Joan Jett, and I think, Joe, you brought that up in the Springsteen episode, so we have another tie to Jersey, to Bruce, to Bon Jovi, so that's kinda cool.

Yeah.

Even with the movie Light of Day, right? So [laughs] that's it.

That's all I had.

Love Only the Lonely.

You know, putting it in the context of his career and where he was at the time, it really is... you have to drill into the moment where it is because he's already made back to the future which kind of puts him off into a completely different trajectory but at the same time he is still in one of the most popular television shows and he is the star of that show for all intents and purposes so his his celebrity status is kind of his highest point at this moment like 87 88 So, Teen Wolfie kind of throw away, but I mean, people only go see that movie because he's in it.

This year, 87, he makes Light of Day, which is, you know, that's an outlier choice for him.

I know a lot about that movie, but we won't get into it because initially that movie was written originally for Bruce Springsteen, who was supposed to be involved in a movie with Paul Schrader.

And that ends up falling apart.

And then Springsteen ends up giving Schrader the song Light of Day, which makes the whole movie kind of around.

I could spend a lot of time getting into the Springsteen of it all, but we won't bother.

But...

The character in Light of Day is probably a little bit closer to who Michael J.

Song was released in 84.

It was originally written for the Light of Day movie that Springsteen was considered starring in, but ended up being Michael J.

Fox.

Yep.

You never know.

So the movie wasn't meant, I mean, it was meant to be like a simple, I'm going to do a horror movie while he was working on the movie Light of Day.

Okay, yeah, no, I don't have anything about that.

so cat people so he he was actually just doing this like an in-between kind of movie and because it didn't really mean anything to him so it was pitched and he was like yeah okay i'll take it and it wound up being one of the most personal movies that he's ever directed
