For the 40th Anniversary of the release of John Carpenter's classic, Escape from New York, Virginia and I headed up to St. Louis, MO to visit the filming locations. It was a nice and easy location hunt as they were all fairly close together (aside from the bridge scenes).

In this video I visited strangers the new season of stranger things filming locations in real life! Some of these locations have NEVER been seen before! In this video we went to Vecnas playground at the Creel house, the radio station seen in the new stranger things season 5 filming locations, and a NEVER seen before church location that will be essential in stranger things season 5! I really enjoyed this show and growing up with it through the years! More stranger things filming locations in real life coming soon!

Duel is still one of my favorite movies. When we planned another vacation to California in 2024, I started researching filming locations and tracks. The result of this, I would like to share with you. Enjoy :-)

Pretty much every filming location from the original ("despecialized") version of Star Wars. Big shout-out to https://www.starwarslocations.com for finding and documenting many hard-to-get-to places.

True Grit, the 1969 movie starring John Wayne, Kim Darby and Glen Campbell, remains one of the most popular westerns of all time. It was largely shot on location in southwest Colorado but parts of it were also filmed along Highway 395 in eastern California. Jeff and Sarah went to great lengths to video the various filming locations 57 years later and take you along!

This episode will include visits to Ouray County Courthouse, the town of Ridgway where many scenes were shot, the ranch that served as the Ross family homestead seen at the beginning and end of the film, Deb's Meadow where the famous showdown with Robert Duvall took place and Mammoth Hot Springs in California. The scenery is most breathtaking!
