Apple TV+ 'Mr. Corman' clip features Joseph Gordon-Levitt singing 'When We Met'

AppleInsider

Apple has released a clip from its Apple TV dramedy "Mr. Corman," with star Josh Gordon-Levitt singing the song "When We Met" from the show.

Posted to YouTube on Friday, the four-minute video is a full song from the show, with Gordon-Levitt singing a duet titled "When We Met," in which the titular character "Josh Corman" sings with his mother.

The song starts with the pair singing to each other across a car, before the scene moves to a fantasy house, garden, and rooftop, before returning to reality. According to the description of the video, "Reality isn't always sunshine and rainbows for Josh, but the magical musical fantasies are never far off."

"Mr. Corman" follows the fifth-grade public school teacher in the San Fernando Valley. After his dream of a career in music seemingly failed, his ex-fiancee left him, and his high school friend moves into his home, Corman has to deal with loneliness, anxiety, and self-doubt.

Apple started streaming "Mr. Corman" on Apple TV+ from August 6, and is releasing new episodes every Friday.

Good song from a very good TV show!  "Mr.Corman" is a fresh, fun TV series.  Each of the three episodes so far have had different vibes to them.  Hopefully, the show will be another hit for Apple TV+.  And... hard to believe that's Debra Winger!

Great to see that Apple is giving actors a chance to act outside of their comfort zone! 

I mean, no offense, but they both can’t sing nor dance  It looks very rehearsed, not very organic. I don’t mind, it’s just funny that they pick this sequence to promote the entire show imho.

Given that JGL is the writer, director, creator, and star of the show, I expect it was his call.  That was a very weird scene in a very weird series.  We watched the three episodes yesterday, and it hasn't grabbed me. It's a light, depressing, cringy, indie movie in the form of a TV series. Not my cup of tea, but I'll give it a few more episodes at least.
