What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

Over a 35 year career, location manager Michael Burmeister worked on some of the most explosive action films in contemporary cinema including "True Lies," "Twister," "Pearl Harbor" and "Transformers." But he broke into the feature film world working locations for two of the most highly celebrated sequels ever made, "Back to the Future Part II" and the trilogy's Western conclusion. On this episode, we meet up with Michael at the South Pasadena home used for Biff's grandmother's house in "Back to the Future Part II." We talk about securing some of the locations from the original film, an unlucky neighborhood location, a cameo appearance in "E.T," and working on "Edward Scissorhands," "Casino," and "National Treasure," on which a fake Liberty Bell made for an awkward 11 o'clock news story.…

1:00:37When Christopher Nolan's feature debut "Memento" hit screens, it shattered all structural conventions of narrative filmmaking. We meet up with the film's location manager, Russ Fega, in Altadena, CA, at the home of the film's muddled and forgetful accountant, Sammy Jankis. Russ lives across the street from the Jankis house and has invited the homeowner, Terry Andrues, to join us. Russ talks in-depth about working with Nolan in the very early part of the filmmaker's career, appearing onscreen in a handful of Nolan's films, and making the transition from a location manager to the owner of a successful location service business.

We meet up with veteran location manager, scout and current Location Managers Guild International (LMGI) board member Ken Haber in the neighborhood from George Clooney's 1950s-set crime drama, "Suburbicon" (2017). Ken talks the challenges of finding a period-accurate, '50s housing development in contemporary L.A., becoming Ridley Scott's go-to location manager, and a familial connection going back to Brooklyn, NY. A few of the neighbors of Ash Avenue also join us to talk about the experience of having their street appear in a major motion picture.…
Eddie Murphy's 2007 film "Norbit" was a critical disaster but a gargantuan success at the box office. We sit down with the film's assistant location manager, David Lyons, at the Great Wall Chinese restaurant in Reseda, CA, the interior location for the film's Golden Wonton Restaurant and Orphanage. David discusses the ins and outs of shooting an Eddie Murphy picture on location, why "Norbit" is a problematic movie, his genuine love of filming locations, and why "Norbit" remains on his resume.…
We're back for our first episode "On Location" since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. We meet up with "Punch-Drunk Love" location manager Larry Ring at Eckhart Auto Body, the site of Adam Sandler's workplace in the 2002 offbeat romantic comedy by San Fernando Valley native, Paul Thomas Anderson. Also joining us is the owner of Eckhart Auto Body, Mark Cardella Sr. Larry and Mark haven't seen each other since the movie was made, and the stories are priceless.
