Why we LOVE 1980s Filming Locations!
We’re pretty obsessed with finding filming locations from our favorite 80s movies, even though these are the most difficult type of videos to make. So WHY do we do it? In this video podcast, we’ll share reasons why we love tracking down 1980s filming locations along with some of our favorite memories of visiting these places over the years. We’ll also include some funny stories and bloopers!

I love Corpus. I swear that the offices used in Dallas were also used in Knots Landing, Dallas' sister tv show. So funny when TV shows show the outside of a building and then the offices look out over fake buildings in the background with no traffic and nothing at all moving because they were done in a studio. Now I can watch all of your Dallas videos since we finished watching the whole series. Oh, Bobby also dies in Knots Landing during the "dream grave" season, so not sure how they will rectify that in Knots Landing, if they even do. We are currently on season 8 of Knots Landing.

I see your Vision Quest album in the background, and speaking of filming locations, that movie was all filmed in our city of Spokane. Even the Crazy for You scene/video was filmed at our local little dive called the Big Foot Pub.

I loved all of the Location Videos. It's actually hard to choose a favorite, but I enjoy the Dallas ones, The Outsiders, Bill & Ted, and of course Billy Jean. I'd love to see you two do one on the movie Rumble Fish. And you know I was gonna suggest to my friend Matt about doing videos of the locations that they used for movies that were shot in Cincy. I know a few of them myself since I visited the sets, and we know most of the locations of where they filmed Rain Man and Fresh Horses. Oh and I wanted to let you know that my cousins from Kentucky loved the Dallas Reunion Video. Can't wait to check out the Dallas Season 10 Locations, and I'll be sharing that with my cousins as well.

The experience you guys had at the Ray Krebbs place was funny! Any updates on the first South Fork location? Wondering if anyone is rebuilding it yet.

If you ever have a chance to travel to the the Oregon Coast, they filmed lots of cool 80s movies up near Astoria including the Goonies, Kindergarten Cop, Point Break ending scene, Short Circuit. It’s really a magical place!

I really appreciate the time and effort that goes into filming location vids. Glad there are channels that do them. It's nostalgia to the MAX!

This is a great video,for many reasons,but this is,for me,the main reason:
People go to YouTube,and they typically have NO idea the amount of work that goes into the making of a proper channel video.
They kind of assume it’s a TikTok spontaneous thing.
It is not.
Running a YouTube channel is literally like running a television channel,it is massively work intensive.
I salute you both,you work so hard,but have fun doing it.
Oh,and I have a seriously goofy Napoleonesque Dynamitesqe story for you,a true story that left me and my co workers baffled and in hysterics!
Is there a Napoleon Dynamite video here?
I need to check.

Napoleon Dynamite is one of my favorite movies also. ❤ Jon Heder is so cool. I’ve seen so many vids of him doing Napoleon for fans 😊
