1:05
all right let's get in there i'm
1:06
inviting you to join me and daphne
1:09
now many years ago
1:11
the tour check-in was right over here at
1:13
this building
1:14
but in the last two years give or take
1:17
they have created this building
1:18
hollywood made here see christopher is
1:21
up there michael keaton
1:23
we're not going to be touching on any of
1:24
that today supposedly this is all about
1:28
classic
1:29
hollywood
1:30
wonder brother studio tour
1:32
golden air
1:33
the golden era that's a good way to
1:35
describe it and as we walk in there's a
1:37
kind of a photo op with a mural with
1:39
bugs bunny and the water tower painted
1:41
on the wall and all that
1:42
and because we were doing the smaller of
1:44
the group tours
1:46
walked in we kind of got into the room
1:48
that has the scale model version of the
1:50
water tower and the sound stages and all
1:52
that beforehand and there was a few
1:53
classic items
1:55
kind of scattered around before checking
1:57
in to go on the chore itself
1:58
and one thing that was interesting one
2:00
of the
2:01
notebooks with the addresses that one of
2:03
the warners had
2:05
had sisu b demille's address in it and
2:09
walt disney's contacted it
2:11
pretty neat seeing that
2:12
and it just had some of the productions
2:14
that they did here on the walls
2:16
you know kind of catering to the the
2:17
classic classic era
2:19
as well and then from here
2:21
showed our tickets that purchased in
2:23
advance
2:24
and was about to go on to the golf cart
2:26
for the tour but i really like the
2:27
little pre area
2:29
kind of a neat little setup in here um
2:30
we're gonna check out uh the back lots
2:32
first we're gonna be together for about
2:33
an hour we'll check out the back clouds
2:35
where they do most of the outside
2:36
filming uh then we're gonna head into
2:38
the front line where all the sound
2:39
stages are i'll take you guys into a
2:41
sound stage as you can kind of see what
2:42
they look like in there and i'm gonna
2:44
drop you guys off at a place called
2:45
stage 48 uh which is a self-guided
2:48
museum where you guys can see a lot of
2:49
like cool costumes a couple of our
2:51
backlots over here so uh what's kind of
2:53
cool about warren brothers guys versus
2:54
like you know universal for example is
2:56
we don't have a theme park so everything
2:57
you see around you is used for filming
2:59
so even like our office buildings uh can
3:02
easily be used for production so like
3:03
this building to the left is an office
3:05
building that's kind of cleverly
3:06
designed to look like a motel or like an
3:08
apartment uh so you can easily use it
3:10
for filming uh most of our backlots we
3:12
just use the exteriors most of the
3:13
interiors are used for like storage new
3:15
york street is actually the first back
3:16
lot that the warner brothers uh had
3:18
built when they built the lot uh if you
3:20
guys weren't aware there were four
3:21
brothers there was harry albert sam and
3:23
then jack and their last name is
3:25
actually juan salazar uh so we could
3:27
have been the one skelozer brothers
3:28
studio we're driving by that a lot today
3:30
and uh i like to joke that wan skelozer
3:32
probably would not have been on the
3:33
water tower right
3:40
exactly yeah that's the bigger water
3:40
tower
3:41
all right so we got new york to the
3:42
right in chicago to the left so chicago
3:45
oh yeah chicago is an extension of new
3:47
york uh that was built for er so this is
3:49
a pretty new addition
3:50
yeah that's supposed to be the l train
3:52
right there yeah
3:54
um
3:58
i've never been there i have seen
3:58
pictures of the real allen yeah it looks
4:00
pretty good uh when they built it it
4:01
looked brand new so they added like fake
4:03
rust to it uh but now it's starting to
4:05
rust for real because it's been here for
4:06
so long now
4:09
so this is new york street yeah i'm
4:10
gonna find as a place to park let's
4:11
actually go a little further here so
4:13
yeah the warner brothers bought this a
4:14
lot in 1928 um it before it was warner
4:17
brothers it was called first national
4:18
pictures so it was a silent movie studio
4:20
for a few years uh they moved into 1928.
4:23
uh there's a kind of small backlog over
4:25
here called brownstone street that's
4:26
being used for an event this was
4:27
humphrey bogart's apartment and the
4:29
maltese falcon
4:30
inside yeah the maltese falcon the
4:33
exterior and then a little bit of the
4:35
interior
4:36
and so the door is kind of going out
4:38
these gold doors looking at it from the
4:40
front there's these like gold doors and
4:42
a very unique architecture of this
4:43
building that is very very noticeable
4:45
never realized that maltese falcon used
4:47
this
4:48
exterior wow
4:50
and one of the earliest titles they used
4:51
it for was a movie called uh baby face
4:53
with barbara stanwick
4:54
uh and in that movie it was a bank
4:56
called gotham bank and then it became
4:58
the gotham police station for the adam
5:00
west batman show
5:02
so if you go back and watch uh episodes
5:04
of the show it's kind of funny because
5:05
they only filmed batman robin going up
5:07
the stairs once they just use
5:13
and they actually got their stunt
5:13
doubles to run up the stairs for them oh
5:15
so not adam west and kurt ward if
5:17
they're stunt doubles running up those
5:18
same steps uh in the 1960s i guess that
5:20
was
5:21
completely dangerous
5:29
uh so yeah let's head over to the
5:29
courthouse if you guys want we can go
5:30
over to our fake central park over here
5:32
uh right now it's all decked out for
5:34
friends because that was a show you know
5:35
set in new york but they never actually
5:36
filmed in new york no it's not exactly
5:39
classic but i will kind of mention it he
5:41
was stating this was used for the
5:43
for the night court the old sitcom from
5:46
the 80s
5:47
john mayer
5:48
yeah so over the left guys this is
5:50
called embassy court so this is ideally
5:52
supposed to look like the embassy for
5:53
another country so what they'll do is
5:55
they'll just put up a flag whatever
5:57
they're supposed to do
5:59
it's very easy
6:01
very versatile
6:07
i can just picture batman running up and
6:07
down there yeah they move this over from
6:09
the warner ranch because the warner
6:10
ranch is going to be torn down so they
6:12
moved the iconic friends fountain from
6:15
over there to over here and they did the
6:17
friends reunion that's not really
6:18
classic so much but you know he's
6:20
showing showing some other stuff as well
6:22
building behind with like the blue top
6:24
and then the white pillars yeah that was
6:26
um josie's market from
6:29
gilmore girls oh really yeah
6:32
so gilmore girls use this whole area
6:34
over here
6:36
pretty little liars monster squad dukes
6:38
of hazzard hopefully they share some
6:39
dukes of hazard stuff and if we're
6:41
allowed to go over here i think over in
6:43
the corner was the station from
6:46
rebel without a cause i'm hoping to get
6:47
kind of looking forward to that one
6:49
james dean the batman steps
6:56
look at this i'm up to batman steps
6:56
look at that
6:57
i just went up to batman steps
7:00
what the heck
7:03
amazing
7:04
what does it look like in here
7:07
oh yeah just a facade look both sides
7:10
and that's what the top of it looks like
7:11
there wow
7:17
there's different tours too so these are
7:17
this is like the regular tour
7:19
the tour we're on is the classic tour so
7:21
it's a smaller group and i love that you
7:23
can see the water tower pretty much from
7:25
everywhere in this little section now
7:27
they're also doing an event over here
7:29
which this thing is called brownstone
7:31
street and i'll be able to go over to
7:32
brownstone street but that's over there
7:34
also he was saying over there on that
7:36
corner was
7:37
the movie public enemy they had a
7:38
shootout in that corner over there
7:40
that's pretty awesome that's pretty cool
7:41
and just in case we can't go over there
7:43
what you're seeing in front is the
7:45
window area
7:47
from casablanca i hope we get to go over
7:49
there i really do but i don't know if
7:50
they're filming
7:52
oh yeah
7:53
that's pretty neat
7:55
it looks so real but it's just plastic
8:07
we just saw her outfit yesterday
8:07
mildred pierce from 1945.
8:19
yeah
8:19
there's big sleep
8:40
filming this here kind of reminds people
8:40
to be quiet
8:41
and uh james dean was notorious for
8:43
driving around his motorcycle and he
8:45
would see those lights flashing his
8:46
engine on his motorcycle
8:51
yeah he was the rebel without a cause
8:53
yeah so for the last 30 years or so
8:55
they've mostly used this for sitcoms uh
8:57
so it went from full house to friends to
9:00
mike and molly to four house and now
9:02
it's the sitcom for the united states of
9:03
al
9:05
but when you see uh where's his hot set
9:07
that basically means
9:09
um that it's all decorated it's all
9:11
ready to go so they don't want the crew
9:12
or you know anybody to touch anything
9:14
yeah moonlight or sunlight to make it
9:16
seem like there's an outside when you're
9:17
actually in the stage yeah
9:36
i just love this stuff so much
9:36
so that was the first uh like hollywood
9:38
movie to be filmed in 3d and that was
9:40
kind of the warner brothers attempt to
9:41
get people to leave their houses
9:42
basically because tv
9:44
you know new phenomenon and surprise and
9:46
now it's sort of happening again people
9:48
are you know staying home watching
9:50
watching stuff instead of going out to
9:51
the theaters uh so basically house of
9:53
wax was not only in 3d but it was in
9:55
color and stereophonic sound so it was a
9:57
big deal at the time uh the warner
9:59
brothers were reluctant to get into tv
10:01
shows so that was 1953 but then by 1955
10:05
uh they made three tv shows they made a
10:06
casablanca tv show which didn't last
10:08
very long
10:10
and so after cheyenne was a big hit they
10:11
kept making a lot of western shows uh
10:13
for quite a while
10:15
so to the right there's whiteboarding
10:16
guys that's the house of wax
10:18
oh cool
10:19
they kind of with the like yeah they're
10:21
kind of like carnival looking thing
10:22
there in the front
10:26
and i just uh recently was uh watching
10:29
the the original version called mystery
10:30
of the wax museum
10:32
uh and it's almost shot for shot the
10:34
same as the vincent price version it's
10:35
just the vincent price version is in 3d
10:37
and then of course they made it again
10:39
with paris hilton uh we don't talk about
10:41
that one guys i'm just kidding but
10:43
uh so three different versions of house
10:44
of wax yeah i for a while i only thought
10:46
it was those two but there was an
10:47
original from the 30s yeah
10:49
and then let's see this alley way over
10:51
the right this is where we saw betty
10:52
davis in deception
10:56
yeah we have her yeah we have her dress
10:58
from the movie at the end of the tour uh
11:00
since she and joan crawford hated each
11:02
other we put their costumes right next
11:03
to each other
11:05
so john crawford's is from a movie
11:06
called the damn don't cry which is a
11:08
great title
11:09
uh and then this movie theater to the
11:10
right you can see in baby jane whatever
11:12
happened to baby jane
11:14
so towards the beginning this is where
11:15
little baby jane is performing uh it was
11:17
also used in the judy garland star is
11:19
born it was actually used a couple times
11:21
in that movie a lot of the different you
11:23
know uh theaters where she'd be
11:24
performing it was used
11:26
also used in uh 42nd street like you saw
11:28
in the video clint eastwood recently
11:30
used it as the rock and roll hall of
11:31
fame
11:32
for jersey boys so it gets used a lot
11:34
really all they do is just kind of
11:35
change the marquee
11:36
uh to indicate whatever's supposed to be
11:38
in there
11:43
all right so yeah let's go check out
11:43
another backlot here
11:45
that's so awesome
11:48
so this brown voting over to the right
11:50
was a bookstore in the big sleep so that
11:51
was another cool uh humphrey bogart
11:53
movie that filmed out here
11:55
he goes in there and he like flirts with
11:56
the woman that's running the bookstore
11:58
and then he goes across the street and
11:59
flirts with a woman at a different
12:00
bookstore
12:05
it's that movie is mostly just humphrey
12:05
bobar going from woman to woman like
12:06
flirting with all the man getting
12:08
information
12:09
it was uh
12:10
used in casablanca so straight ahead
12:12
where it says coffee and like espresso
12:14
that was the cafe pierre in casablanca
12:16
uh for one of the paris flashbacks
12:18
and it was used the same year for the
12:20
movie now voyager with bay davis and
12:23
paul on reed and uh paul on reid was in
12:25
both movies and so was claude raines so
12:27
those movies are kind of fun to watch
12:28
back to back because they use a lot of
12:30
the same actors in a lot of the same
12:31
sets
12:32
uh the only set they actually built for
12:34
casablanca was uh rick's cafe they used
12:36
to film these movies very quickly uh
12:38
humphrey bogart supposedly would walk
12:39
around and talk to people and be like
12:41
this is one of the worst movies i've
12:42
ever made about casablanca you'd be like
12:45
it's just some dumb romance that
12:46
nobody's gonna watch so you never know
12:48
what's gonna become a hit you know
12:50
at the time he was in uh his third
12:52
marriage with a woman named mayo mathot
12:54
which is a hard name to forget
12:56
uh and she basically would show up to
12:57
the set unannounced to make sure he
12:58
wasn't having an affair with ingrid
13:00
bergman
13:01
uh and so he would just kind of play
13:02
chess and be depressed on the set of
13:04
casablanca uh and then eventually he
13:06
left me on the thought for lauren mccall
13:08
so i guess her concerns were valid you
13:09
know
13:16
yeah i think she was 19 when you met her
13:16
and to have and have none he was like
13:18
square
13:19
hazard
13:20
may december relationship yeah
13:25
she's she's great yeah they're doing
13:26
some filming
13:28
yeah all four of their movies together
13:29
were filmed in the lion so this is
13:31
midwester you guys so i want to take us
13:32
over here this is a very popular backlot
13:34
that's basically uh designed to look
13:36
like any small town from around the
13:38
united states so this is river city for
13:40
the music man
13:41
uh if you're ever like watching a movie
13:43
or a show and you're like is that the
13:44
warren brothers town look for the gazebo
13:46
to the left because it's usually in the
13:47
middle of the town
13:48
uh but in the case of the music man they
13:49
put a statue there so the gazebo is
13:51
removable they'll occasionally put
13:53
something else there
13:54
uh
13:55
in addition to the music man james dean
13:56
used it for east of eden and also rebel
13:58
without a cause
14:01
and uh yeah let me just park us over
14:02
here guys so we're gonna go check out a
14:04
couple of these houses we can also walk
14:05
around the town a little bit here
14:10
so the neighborhood to the right is
14:10
called king's row named after the
14:12
the ronald reagan movie he actually made
14:14
something like 38 movies here in a very
14:17
very short amount of time these actors
14:18
used to sign these seven year contracts
14:20
with one studio uh i love this church
14:23
lost boys church
14:25
so this church right here guys this is
14:26
usually one of my favorite movies
14:37
he said this was the church from blazing
14:38
saddles where they were discussed
14:40
finding the new sheriff interesting i
14:42
never realized i knew blazing saddles
14:43
was filmed here but i didn't realize the
14:48
was a blazing saddles
14:50
okay the station from rubble without a
14:51
cause but she said i could walk over
14:53
here hudson hall was also used in the
14:54
music man
14:57
yeah iconic rubble without a cause it
14:58
looks a little bit different
15:00
i'm not 100 sure if they use the
15:02
interiors
15:04
at all but there is a scene
15:06
where james dean
15:08
is right here on this porch
15:28
that looks like maybe from the remake of
15:28
full house right here looks like one of
15:30
the painted ladies
15:35
ah it was a replica
15:35
they all have kind of more modern
15:36
nicknames we call this the siever house
15:38
because of growing pains uh but this is
15:40
where salminio lived and rebel without a
15:41
cause
15:42
and then this is where mrs diego lives
15:44
in gremlins so if you haven't seen the
15:46
movie she's like this really mean old
15:47
lady who lives in the town she goes
15:49
flying out the window at one point
15:55
um and doris day also used this house a
15:55
lot so she used it in a movie called
15:56
it's a great feeling she marries errol
15:58
flynn in there in the movie
16:00
uh she used it in uh
16:02
on moonlight bay and then they made a
16:03
sequel that called by the way the
16:04
silvery moon so her family lived in this
16:07
house with both of those films
16:09
this house here was used in a jimmy
16:11
stewart movie with john wayne which john
16:12
wayne goes to visit him then jimmy
16:14
stewart and the shooters got married in
16:16
that church as well
16:40
pretty cool yeah
16:40
so yeah judy stewart's house in the
16:42
shooters then he actually lived next
16:44
door on his shoulders
16:46
on the show
16:47
and then this blue house is also
17:21
so this was using dukes of hazard as
17:21
well
17:27
yeah this one's just kind of like a
17:27
thing
17:27
he's going to be there came uncle
17:29
jesse's house for like a reunion the 90s
17:33
that's pretty neat yeah but the midwest
17:36
was often used as like the town square
17:37
for hazard county yeah
17:40
that's funny the back was
17:42
uncle jesse's in the front of the same
17:43
house as boss hogs that's hilarious
17:46
for the reunion show and some of the guy
17:48
was also saying in blazing saddles when
17:50
the
17:51
crane shot kind of goes up
17:53
revealing that your warner brothers it
17:55
happened kind of right in right in here
18:03
uh the brockton caves are up there as
18:03
well a series of caves that they use as
18:04
adam west batcave
18:06
so that's that's on my bucket list to
18:08
like hike us through the hollywood sign
18:09
and visit the back table i'm up there
18:10
down
18:12
so they did like everything
18:14
they've rebuilt the house over at the
18:15
burbank ranch up the street
18:20
this was walton mountain griffith park
18:21
west walton's mountain pretty amazing to
18:23
think about
18:24
some of the squirrels out there
18:31
so uh this is connected to our museum
18:31
where you guys are gonna be a little bit
18:32
later stage 48 uh so from what i
18:35
understand before they built stage 48 uh
18:37
this was considered a practical and they
18:39
used this for elvira's house so you when
18:41
hear it's you know better mistress of
18:42
the dark yeah
18:44
this area looks a little different
18:45
because they've added on the museum
18:48
elvira mistress of the dark
18:51
you know let's see
18:52
ahead um we call the feeding house
18:55
because stevie case lived there in
18:56
gremlins and then also uh lisa pedro's
18:58
bad with their own friends so two
19:00
phoebes have used it
19:02
uh one of the earlier titles we used it
19:04
for was a movie called the bad seed
19:06
uh about an evil little girl patty
19:08
mccormick in the movie
19:10
there is no stage 13. uh and then we
19:12
split stages 27 and 28 and a half so we
19:15
have a 27 and a 27 a and then a 28 and a
19:18
28a so the account 27 to 28 is four
19:21
stages technically but oftentimes if you
19:23
get one you get both but they're like
19:24
split in half in the middle uh so the
19:26
numbering only goes up to 31 but we tend
19:28
to have 32 stages
19:31
and if we ever build a new one we just
19:32
kind of renumber them basically
19:37
yeah i'm going to drive this back where
19:37
allen used to be uh
19:39
her status are right by it where like
19:40
they all run out of the lot at the end
19:42
of blazing saddles and there's lots of
19:43
cool stuff that's happened over there
19:46
if you guys have heard of the star wars
19:48
holiday special they filmed in the same
19:49
stages as ellen
19:51
if you guys haven't heard of it it's
19:52
because it's really bad over here
20:02
harrison ford whenever people would ask
20:02
him about he'd be like i don't even
20:03
remember making it uh and then carrie
20:06
fisher said she used to put it on at
20:07
parties to get people to leave
20:10
so it's like notoriously bad yeah
20:12
it sounds like her yeah so i want to
20:14
drive us through here guys this is our
20:15
mills this is like as i mentioned
20:17
earlier uh but then also we have like a
20:19
metal shop up here to the right with
20:20
like the lamp coming up this is the air
20:22
conditioning and plumbing room to the
20:24
left
20:24
so it's two floors
20:27
of the oscars
20:29
red carpet ceremony yeah
20:32
this is the prison where james cagney
20:34
got locked up in the movie
20:36
uh and then the streetcar and desire
20:38
this is the warehouse where carl molden
20:39
works
20:41
so it comes in handy uh particularly
20:43
loves the smokehouse as well he recently
20:44
used different jersey boys and j edgar
20:46
for a lot of the restaurant scenes in
20:48
those movies yeah
20:52
uh from what i understand george clooney
20:54
would go there like every day while he
20:55
was making er so if you want to have a
20:57
meeting with george clooney you'd have
20:58
to go to the smokehouse there's like
21:00
four floors of props that can be rented
21:01
out for production
21:03
uh it's basically four football field
21:05
size with the props so similar to the
21:07
mill is three floors where they all run
21:08
out at the end of blazing saddles
21:11
this is kind of like the main interest a
21:12
lot there's different entrances but
21:13
you'll often see this as the entrance to
21:15
warner brothers in our movies uh in
21:17
addition to blazing saddles this is
21:19
where pee-wee herman sneaks on the lot
21:21
in pewdie's big adventure
21:24
but yeah in blazing styles if you go
21:25
back and watch that scene all the actors
21:27
run out dressed like cowboys and there's
21:28
one guy in the shot who's just dressed
21:30
normally he's just a pedestrian who
21:32
wanted into the shot
21:34
and mel brooks kept telling him he got a
21:35
move but he wouldn't move he kept
21:36
wandering back in so mel brooks had him
21:38
sign a contract saying you're going to
21:39
be in the movie
21:41
so he's got to be a part of a classic a
21:43
classic comedy just by refusing to move
21:45
stage 10
21:47
right here is one of the original sound
21:48
stages when the warner brothers bought
21:50
the lot uh this city was already here
21:52
the city was built in 1926.
21:58
so
21:58
so yeah 10 11 and then 12 and 14. those
22:00
are the original four stages
22:02
uh 14
22:04
is being used for a new show called
22:05
shrinking and for a while it was the
22:07
shameless stages
22:16
all right so
22:16
as you can see recently these were were
22:18
like helen at our offices uh the warner
22:20
brothers used to have their offices over
22:21
here the left this was jack warner's old
22:23
rose garden uh he used to have a tennis
22:25
score back here
22:27
uh and uh
22:28
errol flynn you know who was under
22:30
contract here for a while he would show
22:32
up to set drunk and jack jack warner
22:34
would like ban him from the lot and
22:36
arrow flynn would sneak back onto the
22:37
lot and use jack warner's tennis court
22:39
without his permission
22:40
so at one point jack warner arranged to
22:42
have it blown up for one of their movies
22:44
uh so i just want to drive us by stage
22:45
16 guys so all these stages are the same
22:47
size except for one
22:49
15 over here the right is a cool stage
22:51
because this is where our art department
22:52
used to be so they used to like build
22:54
sets in here and like draw all the
22:55
storyboards so
22:57
we do a lot of this uh crazy plaque so
23:00
this stage is the tallest sound stage in
23:02
north america uh the reason it's so tall
23:04
is because of an actress named marion
23:06
davies so she was a very famous actress
23:09
in the 1930s who was dating william
23:11
randolph hearst the billionaire
23:13
uh and so the second movie on that list
23:14
came to mabel that was a musical with
23:16
her and clark gable
23:18
and uh the stories kind of conflict
23:19
because it was so long ago but basically
23:21
she asked william randolph first if he
23:23
would put up the money to half the stage
23:24
lifted 30 feet off the ground for the
23:26
musical numbers
23:27
uh and william right now first you know
23:29
would do anything for her and he had the
23:30
money so he put up a hundred thousand
23:32
dollars the crew literally lifted it 30
23:34
feet off the ground with hand cranks
23:36
so in addition to being almost 100 feet
23:38
tall it has itself guided
23:40
so right as you go in uh we've got a
23:42
little friends crazy in here but there's
23:44
other stuff in there besides friends i
23:45
promise uh you go into the museum and
23:47
there's lots of cool costumes we call it
23:49
script to screen so it kind of takes you
23:51
from like the casting process to the
23:53
production process like the
23:54
post-production process uh we have a
23:57
section that's specifically for classics
23:58
so we have like costumes for my fair
24:00
lady that's we have bay davis and joan
24:02
crawford's costumes right next to each
24:04
other uh james kagg and evg robinson we
24:07
also have some costumes in there for
24:08
them
24:09
um so you guys can take as much time as
24:10
you want here whenever you're ready to
24:12
go you go out through the gift shop
24:13
straight ahead and go to where these
24:14
folks are waiting and you'll hop on a
24:16
shuttle that will take you over to the
24:18
tour building where we have a whole
24:19
other exhibit uh it's mostly like harry
24:21
potter and dc comics there's also lots
24:23
of uh cool like costumes and like oscars
24:26
and emmys that warner brothers has won
24:27
over the years um and that will take you
24:29
into the lobby and the gift shop where
24:31
the tour started
24:32
um so you guys still have a lot to see
24:34
do you guys have any questions for me
24:35
before you guys head on in there all
24:36
right we did it we did it the classics
24:39
tour
24:40
i liked it better than the
24:43
both tours are different but i liked it
24:45
they were different i liked it better
24:46
kind of just because it was different
24:47
compared to the usual ones yeah they
24:49
kind of you start off the same you end
24:51
the same didn't really show all the
24:53
other things you got the harry potter
24:54
the dc stuff all that you see on all the
24:56
versions of the tour
24:58
but he did cater it to the classics a
25:00
lot more yeah i think what made it even
25:02
better this time around compared to last
25:04
time was right now a lot of shows are on
25:05
hiatus so we're able to go and walk
25:08
around a lot of the sets and like the
25:10
houses and everything because a lot of
25:11
shows weren't filming compared to last
25:12
time when they're using the whole area
25:14
so i think that was really cool this is
25:15
a good time i think to book a tour yeah
25:17
that was there was a few things that
25:19
like they had the brownstone street we
25:20
couldn't go on and i think there was the
25:22
new york area there was like a private
25:24
event we couldn't go into but a lot of
25:26
stuff we got to see it was so cool yeah
25:28
we got to go in more houses got to go on
25:30
a sound stage we didn't go in last time
25:31
so i guess every tour is a little bit
25:33
different yeah they filmed jezebel on
25:35
that stage and um mildred pierce and we
25:37
just saw mildred pierce costumes
25:39
yesterday at academy museums which is
25:40
really cool and while on there that he
25:43
was saying that there's a there's a
25:44
restaurant just outside that you've been
25:46
trying to get me to go to for a while it
25:48
is my favorite restaurant in burma it's
25:49
like one of the top three best meals
25:51
i've ever had in la what's the name of
25:53
the place smokehouse
26:02
and just across the street from the
26:02
smokehouse
26:08
and next to warner brothers and next to
26:08
walton's mountain griffith park
26:10
hollywood signs on the other side of
26:11
that
26:12
is this
26:15
very noticeable sculpture
26:18
which was recreated identically
26:27
at the former mgm studios
26:27
now
26:28
disney's hollywood studios
26:32
which is pretty dang cool it's right
26:33
here next to warner
26:41
it's almost like smokehouse is ready for
26:41
its close-up
26:46
that is so neat i just i've been at mgm
26:48
and hollywood studios so many times i
26:50
keep wanting to look over here for the
26:52
eisner quote about mgm studios a
26:54
hollywood that always was or never was
26:57
and always will be
27:02
that's so neat and just to show the
27:02
proximity
27:04
to warner walking across the way
27:09
find food at a fair price
27:22
oh look at this established in 1946
27:22
like a little fountain right here
27:32
and once you walk inside
27:32
definitely an old hollywood vibe with
27:34
all the photos of burbank and warner
27:38
and even photos of the smoke house just
27:40
a wide variety of old hollywood stuff
27:43
just the feels like this place has been
27:44
open since the 40s
27:46
so you're getting the vibe just think of
27:48
how many probably famous faces famous
27:49
names
27:50
actors directors cast crew of eight
27:53
eight in here and tourists of course
27:56
i've walked through these doors
27:59
i really like the theming with the
28:00
boosts and the posters on the side of
28:03
the wall
28:04
and everything and i end up getting
28:06
something i have not ever i don't think
28:07
i've ever eaten at a restaurant
28:10
beef stroganoff i've had the frozen
28:12
version of beef stroganoff i've ever had
28:13
a real version of beef stroganoff it was
28:16
pretty good what'd you end up having i
28:18
got the smokehouse um prime rib sandwich
28:21
that they're famous for
28:23
if you come you have to get the full
28:24
order of the garlic cheesy bread they're
28:26
like yeah
28:27
it's so good the garlic cheesy bread is
28:30
they do not go light on the cheese no oh
28:33
it's so good yeah and all the booths you
28:35
feel like someone famous sat where you
28:36
were sitting they probably did somewhat
28:38
famous probably sat exactly in all these
28:40
booths i love that and then the bar area
28:43
is where the scene from la la land took
28:45
place
28:45
and there's like companions on the wall
28:47
there's also some famous
28:49
photographs almost kind of like how the
28:50
brown derby was yeah i love that they
28:52
have the actor chairs with all their
28:53
signatures behind it yeah yeah it's so
28:56
