Hey guys, you totally missed a Wisconsin movie that you mentioned on an earlier podcast. In your Love and Romance episode, you picked "Love Actually" and even mentioned the scene where the foreign guy goes to Wisconsin to pick up girls.
Good show this week.
Already posted this in the april fools thread, but Back To School with the legend Rodney Dangerfield was filmed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
How about "A Simple Plan"?
That was actually shot in Wisconsin because there wasn't enough snow here in Minnesota!
How can a guy named Elwood not include The Blues Brothers? The Illinois Nazi chase scenes were filmed in Milwaukee!
Enjoying the show from Toronto. Thanks for the shout-outs to your Canadian listeners.
How about:
- The Straight Story
- Dogma (Affleck & Damon exiled to Milwaukee, sitting in airport)
You have to mention Wayne's World when they go see Alice Cooper in Milwaukee. I crack up every time Alice gets all serious about the history of the city and Wayne says, "Does this guy know how to party, or what?"
Party on dudes. Looking forward to the 420 episode, since I'm currently living here in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
