  • The Tire House from “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday”

    The Tire House from “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday”

    ‘ Today’s locale is becoming quite the prolific film star!  I’ve blogged about the residence at 800 Adelaine Avenue in South Pasadena previously – twice, in fact.  It first came on my radar thanks to its appearance in the 2008 comedy Bedtime Stories, as I chronicled here.  Then, in 2015, I noticed it pop up…

  • Bridges Auditorium from “The West Wing”

    Bridges Auditorium from “The West Wing”

    ‘ I am one of the few people in the world who did not watch The West Wing when it was on the air.  And boy was I missing out!  The Grim Cheaper and I started binging the series on a whim this past January and now can’t get enough!  The show is so good,…

  • Merry Christmas!

    ‘ I would like to wish my fellow stalkers a very merry Christmas.  I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday with family and friends.  I will be taking some time off to celebrate with my loved ones, but will be back in January.  I also apologize for not having a new post up for a…

  • Pee-wee’s House from “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure”

    Pee-wee’s House from “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure”

    ‘ The internet lit up this week with news that actor Paul Reubens is embarking upon a 20-city 35th Anniversary Tour celebrating Pee-wee’s Big Adventure starting next February.  Coincidentally, the house where Reubens’ titular character, Pee-wee Herman, lived in the 1985 comedy has long been on my list of To-Blog Christmas locales.  And no, I…

  • The CalEdison from “The Morning Show”

    The CalEdison from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ L.A. never ceases to amaze!  Case in point – the CalEdison.  Built in 1931, the Art Deco masterpiece is not only a sight to behold, but its grand lobby is open to the public!  Somehow though, I never knew about the place until last week when I was researching locations from The Morning Show.…

  • The Wolves from “The Morning Show”

    The Wolves from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ My obsession with The Morning Show is no secret.  I’ve blogged about its locations four times already (here, here, here, and here) and it isn’t even on its eighth episode!  Readers have obviously taken note because I recently received an email from one who works in downtown Los Angeles informing me that some filming…

  • The Federal from “Four Christmases”

    The Federal from “Four Christmases”

    ‘ I tracked down today’s locale thanks to some very insider information.  Back on December 19th, 2012, I wrote about the San Francisco pad that portrayed Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate’s (Reese Witherspoon) residence in Four Christmases.  Just a few hours after hitting “publish,” I received an email from the production designer of the 2008…

  • 611 Place from “The Morning Show”

    611 Place from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ I hope y’all aren’”‘”‘t sick of The Morning Show locations yet, cause I’ve got a few more up my sleeve, namely the site that portrays UBA Studios, where the titular show-within-the-show is filmed on the new Apple TV+ series.  At first blush, I thought the locale was most likely in New York, where the…
