That's me had a hauk under the bed and pulled out these beauts for you all to vote on!

Hands up who's new here! If everyone want's to say hi and let me know where you're from that would be splendid! My daughter's into her geography at the moment, so it'll give me places to challenge her on 🌎 Familiar faces chime in too please! I might not know yet.

Also, if you happen to know any intriguing, lesser-known facts about your hometown, please share! Thanks a million! 😁

Azimuth

I’m from Glasgow and I’m new! lol. I moved to Inverness a few years ago and I love your reactions. My favourite movies are the Marx brothers and I was happy to see you also loved them!

JL Green

Oh my goodness I really hope it's the fun yet intense and atmospheric Collateral. Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx are the best odd couple around.

Danny Noon

Collateral! Brilliant film!

Manny

I was born and raised in "Cow Town". One of the big 3 Stock Show and Rodeos is held here. I now consider my self a Nottingham lad.

Joshua White

I bicker with my friend about Starship Troopers. I think it's hilarious, because it works on one level when you turn your brain off, and on another level when you're actually aware of the satire. My friend thinks it sucks too much on that first level to work effectively at the second. I think he's nuts.

David Harvey

Hi Dawn, I live in Los Angeles but grew up in Williamsburg Virginia in the USA and worked there for 20 years after college with Colonial Williamsburg, the largest outdoor living history museum in the world. It's the former 18th century capitol of Colonial Virginia where many of the leaders and events of the Revolutionary War took place. Eight-eight original buildings survived into the 1920's when John D. Rockefeller bought up most of the town and turned it into one of the first non-profit history museums in America, reconstructing many of the missing buildings on their foundations.

Robert Inman

Another take on older Clint with In the Line of Fire. Good for Detective Dawn! From the Florida Panhandle.

Robert Inman

IMHO, Starship Troopers was another great book ruined in the movie.

Bill Bryant

Many good movies here, but even if it doesn't win, you need to see Patriot Games!!!!

Gene Hendricks

That's a tuff choice, but I had the choose the lesser of two weevils.

Mr. Avatar

I'm in Michigan (A state in the USA). There are two peninsulas that make up Michigan, The upper and lower, I'm in the lower which on a map looks like a mitten and people here will hold their palm out and say, "I'm from here" and point to a spot on their hand. I'm from the spot between your thumb and the middle of your wrist. 🙂✋

Clayton Johnson

Hi Dawn, for your Daughter's Geography lesson, I live in Kitimat, BC Canada (Kit-ta-mat). The name comes from the Haisla First Nations language which means "People of the Snow" in English

Chicago Artist Jon

Chicago Illinois whose name comes from an Algonquian word that means Onion Field. Home of the Bean, the first skyscraper and deep dish pizza. Where we don't put ketchup on a hot dog and we do dye they river green on St. Patrick's Day. In 1871 the ENTIRE city burned to the ground in 2 days. They blamed Mrs. O’Leary's cow for starting the fire, but it was most likely a drunkin' bar fight. They rebuilt and today Chicago is still known as The Second City.

Robert Jewell

Grand Isle, Vermont USA. About 20 miles south of the Canadian border to Quebec and beautiful Montreal which has a distinct European vibe. But Grand Isle is a tiny town, around 2000 people, on the island of Grand Isle in Lake Champlain between the Adirondacks and the Green Mountains so the views are stunning. The town used to be called Middle Hero located on the isle between the town's South Hero and North Hero, but the name was changed to Grand Isle in 1810 so our community goes back a ways. Hope your daughter finds this fascinating rather than dull. The heroes the towns were named after were Ethan Allen and Samuel Herrick members of the Green Mountain Boys, a militia established during the Revolutionary War. Cheers.

Bill W

Yes yes. Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, back to back.

Bill W

Hey Dawn, do you still have that map of Chicago with all the Scottish named locales?

Bill W
>>147285632

A while back I sent Dawn a map of Chicago with all the Scottish named suburbs/neighborhoods highlighted... Inverness, Bannockburn, Midlothian, etc..

Franklin Silberzahn

Baltimore, MD and an intriguing fact about MD, not Baltimore; it's the only U.S. state without a natural lake, all are manmade.

Alan Jones

I'm from Durham. No, not the one in England. The one in North Carolina, USA. In 1865, Durham was the site of the largest surrender of Confederate troops at the end of the US Civil War. Appomattox had come earlier, but was a much smaller surrender (ca. 20,000 men, and very little territory). Durham surrender was ca. 90,000 men, all those in arms in the two Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida. Appomattox set the precendent, but Durham clenched the numbers. Subsequent surrenders followed in Alabama, Louisiana, and Indian Terrritory (Oklahoma), made the more necessary by the two earlier surrenders, particularly the one at Durham. EDIT: Changed Texas to Louisiana. My bad.

Bob McFadden

Hi Dawn, I’m a recent sponsor on Patreon but have followed you for some time. A lifelong resident of Virginia, USA, I live in Covington, in Western Virginia (not West Virginia, mind you) and went to college in the Shenandoah Valley at James Madison University (Go Dukes!). The Great Valley, as it’s known, was one route immigrants from Scotland and Ireland used to make their way into the Appalachian Mountains of early America. Makes for fascinating history if your daughter wants to look into it more closely. My hometown is nestled in the beautiful Allegheny mountains. It’s small, 11,000 at most 60 years ago, but four citizens from our area have received The Medal of Honor since World War II, very notable for a small area. We’re also home to a mill which makes paper for commercial packaging. Decent chance our plant had a hand in the box your Corn Flakes came in. I’m retired after 35 years in newspapers and other forms of journalism. I’ve loved movies all my life and have seen more than a few. I follow a lot of movie reactors, but your sense of humor and enthusiasm make it my favorite. Thanks so much, and keep it up, by all means.

Alan Jones
>>147289590

For additional interest, look for the Bennett Place (NC state historic site), where the surrender took place. Generals were Joseph E. Johnston for the Conferacy surrendering to William Tecumseh Sherman for the Union. If you really want a thorough examination, search YouTube for The Confederacy's "Greatest" Surrender - The Bennett Place, on the channel Threads from the National Tapestry.

I’m in Nashville, Tennessee. Known as the “Athens of the South” in the late 1800. Its home to a replica of the Parthenon in Centennial park

John Lawton
>>147284182

Agreed. I finally got around to reading the book in anticipation of the movie’s release. Very disappointed with the unserious treatment of Heinlein. Having said that, the book is fairly cerebral and would be hard to make into a successful movie (would work better as a limited TV series). Nevertheless this SF geek still gets a thrill seeing the Roger Young in action!

John Lawton

Tough to choose from this batch! Have seen all but one, and they are all worth watching! Fortunately that means you can’t go wrong with any of these.

Bartleby
>>147283954

I agree. I think he’s nuts too. The film is obviously satirical and meta in every aspect. Including the casting of bright young beautiful people that makes it seem like a cheesy teen soap opera. It’s all intentional

Bartleby
>>147283954

I’ve had similar arguments in regards to Starship Troopers as well as Robocop. Someone tried arguing the satire of those films was too over the top and not subtle enough to be effective satire. I asked them if they thought Dr Strangelove was a subtle film. 😆

Bill W
>>147285632

Haha. I know there's a large Irish-American presence (I'm half Irish). I couldn't find any info on Chicago's Scottish-American demographic, but there's a number of locales with Scottish names... McCormick Place, Montrose Harbor, Logan Square, Balmoral Park, Dundee, Elgin, Ivanhoe, Leithton, Glencoe, Belmont-Cragin, Burnside, Flossmoor, Glenwood, Irving Park, Kinzie Street....

Joshua White
>>147283954

I've heard Showgirls is effective satire as well, but I have never actually seen it.

Billy B

I’m new . Love your channel . Great reactions . Concord , New Hampshire, USA .

Björn Karlsson

OK... I live in Mjölby in Sweden. A tiny town with like 15k residents. But "we" have maybe the largest forklift factory in Europe (Toyota (it used to be BT)) 🙂

Jeff Barnes

Hi Dawn, I'm from Cincinnati Ohio, once known as porkopolis. Back in the 1800's it was common to see hogs driven through the streets to market. Nowadays it's because of the large number of ham actors here. If you ever come this way be sure to stop at Skyline Chili for a three-way, (it's a dish with spaghetti, chili and cheese, not the other thing).

K Dub

San Francico California USA home of the iconic Golden Gate bridge and Alcatraz island ("The Rock") and backdrop to many other movies. Love your reactions so much that I rewatch for the laughs!💖💕"Best channel ever"!!!👏🏾😆🤣👍🏾

Louis Marzullo

Born & raised in Newark, New Jersey, United States (we pronounced it "Nork" 😂). A gritty yet charming, colorful place at the time. Now it's just gritty 😁. Known for, among other things, Newark-Liberty Int'l Airport, Port Newark, Sacred Heart Cathedral (5th largest Gothic cathedral in North America. Absolutely stunning!) & Branch Brook Park, home to the 3rd largest collection of cherry blossom trees in the world, after Tokyo & Washington, D.C. (and right across the street from the cathedral!). More importantly, the North Ward neighborhood where I'm from still boasts Dickie Dee's Italian-style hot dogs (Dawn, you'll think you died & went straight to Heaven!), Frank's Pizzeria (just a little smaller in circumference than the tire on an 18-wheeler but much tastier! 😄) & Calandra's Bakery, where everything tastes too good to be legal 😋. For the past 18+ years, I've lived in Nanuet, New York, a pleasant little hamlet about a 30-minute drive north of NYC. There've been more than a few stops in between, all in the NYC-metro area ☺️

Billy B
>>147294730

Yes ! 😂 “Conkid “if you want to lay the accent on really thick .

Mannygogou

I'd like to see World War Z again, that would be cool.

Louis Marzullo
>>147294730

😄 That sounds like it could be heard in my neck of the woods: "What's da con, kid?" 😝

Dan Cornyn

Born and raised on southside of Chicago. I'm half Scottish. My mom's maiden name was Campbell.

Louis Marzullo
>>147297508

Yeah! Nobody says "F***ing Mjölby!" (finally figured out how to get an umlaut!) 😂 Btw, Björn: that "maybe" makes me a little uncomfortable... Do ya or don't ya?? 😄

Ragnar Miersch

Hometown? Hometown? Hometown? Such a vague term. is it where you were born? Raised? Spent the most time in? Where I live now or just someplace you lived for a few years and really enjoyed. I guess I'll just give you a complete travelogue of everywhere I've lived for 18 months or more. Settle in campers, this could be lengthy. Born and raised until 18 in Towson, Maryland a small suburb north of Baltimore. Joined the US Air Force and spent time in San Antonio, Texas (USA), Alexandria, Louisiana (USA), Howard AFB in The Republic of Panama, Warner Robbins, Georgia (USA), Flugplaz Buchel in West Germany, Edwards AFB, California (USA), Saudi Arabia/Kuwait/Iraq, Andrews AFB, Maryland (USA), Kunsan, South Korea, and for the past 30 years Ft. Walton Beach, Florida (USA). Ft. Walton is where I call home now. It is located on the coast of the Florida Panhandle and is blessed with the whitest sand you have ever seen. Separated by a bridge from Destin, FL (The World's Luckiest Fishing Village). I enjoy the luxury of 325+ days of perfect weather a year. I live in a vacation destination that people pay thousands per weekend to visit once a year. Call me smart or lucky, doesn't matter. As the great William Blake once wrote: “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom”, and I have enjoyed a lot of excess. You could probably do an entire week of lessons looking up this list. Sorry about the length, my friends. Guess I just had too much time on my hands today.

David Bennett
>>147290464

from there myself, my parents still live on the other side of a hill from Radnor Lake, which is a lovely place to go hike (although it is very crowded with people these days). Also, the replica of Fort Nashborough that still stands downtown on the river is one of the things that helped cause my life long interest in history when I visited it as a child with my family.

Justtired
>>147290464

Small world. Hey there, neighbor. I do enjoy the history of the town, but you’re right, it’s packed with people these days

Just reporting in Dawn from God's own county of Yorkshire just outside of Hull.

Mannygogou

oh where from, I'm somewhere in Texas now but I used to be in Los Angeles close enough to Sunset Blvd that I used to go drive there for fun. Often I would just decide I want to go North this time and I would spend the day driving for 4 to 6 hours. I especially liked canyon roads, not freeways. So I would loop around... from Sunset Blvd, head toward the ocean, get on Pacific Coast Highway, look for that turn to Topanga Canyon Blvd and head up Santa Monica Mountains. Up top somewhere there's this sweeping turn where there are buildings, it looks like a tiny town but if you go left it takes you to the "Old Topanga Canyon Road" which is narrower and more challenging road and I would take that for more fun. Have your daughter map this out. Then after a few hairpin turns I would end up on Mulholland Highway where I would turn left - these are all winding canyon roads. After a while I would come up to an intersection on Las Virgenes Road... I never take that, I want to keep going on Mulholland. I remember there wasn't a stop light so I get nervous crossing it. Keep gong on Mulholland driving up and up and eventually end up on the Rock Store just before Kanan Dume Road. Let me check the map, this is a 40 mile drive at this point and halfway through the loop. Fun facts? Since this is basically Hollywood so movies have been named after these places. There is a Mulholland Drive movie, Sunset Boulevard movie, Pacific Coast Highway movie, there's even a Topanga movie. As for Santa Monica, Forrest Gump in the movie ran to the Santa Monica pier... and there's an eatery you can go there, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. I mentioned Los Angeles, there's a movie L.A. Story with Steve Martin and Sarah Jessica Parker. There will be a lot of LA movies... Battle: Los Angeles (2011)

Mannygogou
>>147348604

Did I forget the Rock Store? There's a movie about it where Jay Leno appears. "The Rock Store is a historic building made of volcanic rock that was originally a stagecoach stop in the 1910s. It has been turned into a small-town grocery store and popular breakfast spot and biker hangout."

Mannygogou
>>147348604

Yes, L.A. Confidential, I remember that one. Chinatown, Adam Savage recreated the "nose" stunt... Was Roger Rabbit set in LA somehow? Old LA.

Mannygogou
>>147348604

I became a pretty good driver from all those winding roads. Good training. I don't like freeways because you're just driving fast and braking hard if there's an incident. I preferred learning "cornering." Of course now I can't wait for autonomous driving because who can pay attention all the time nowadays? Too many distractions.

Louis Marzullo
>>147348604

Haha! You must be waaaayyy younger than me! Autonomous driving?? Never, unless the law forces me to or I just live to be too old to drive myself (not likely to live that long, thank God! 😄)... I drove the Road to Hana twice on Maui, Hawaii on my honeymoon in a convertible Mustang. (Turns out that was a good metaphor for the marriage! The road, not the car! 😆). Have you ever tackled that one?

Louis Marzullo
>>147308413

So funny, I thought you were still somewhere in Germany! 😂 Towson! Hometown of the indomitable force of nature that is Elaine Benes from Seinfeld! 🙎🏻‍♀️

Louis Marzullo

Oh, Newark is also home to the Newark Riots, a bad-ass street-hockey team that my cousin Al played on for like 40 years in various leagues. If you know Newark history, you'll think that team name is either the coolest or most tasteless thing you've ever heard. I think it's both 😁 🏒🥅

Björn Karlsson
>>147329952

Yeah 🙂 My sister-in-law is born on Hawaii and moved later to Phoenix. Now she lives in Stockholm 🙂

Eric Janssen

Master & Commander? If we must, we must… But hopefully, it’ll spark an urge for more Big-Ship movies, and a generation that doesn’t know any others existed can get their first reaction to the ‘56 “Moby Dick” or the ‘84 “The Bounty”.

Ragnar Miersch
>>147308413

Indeed, the very same. My High School also boasts Michel Phelps and Frank Zappa as alumni's. Truth to tell, I sometimes wish I was still in Germany, it was a fabulous three years and a great jumping off point for seeing the rest of Europe.

Louis Marzullo
>>147308413

Wow, had no idea about Zappa's origins! Everything about him always screamed Cali to me, in the good way 😆

Don Wagner

Hello. I am from Carrolltown, a small town in west central Pennsylvania about 90 miles east of Pittsburgh.

Mannygogou
>>147348604

wow no I have not been to Hawaii. There is a famous road called the tail of the dragon... or just The Dragon (but I've not been there either). It's 11 miles of very technical cornering through the Great Smoky Mountains. Interesting... I forgot all about that one. Hey, hang around for 10 years and you'll see the wonders of the future come alive. You know that future that we've been lied to about for decades, finally those guys' stranglehold on society are breaking and the future is finally peeking through 😄

Dolf (a.k.a. Anders Ericsson)

Don't know if I'm considered new (2 months now, but been following the channel since your first Python, when you had no clue what Python was) Hometown, well Gothenburg is were I'm born, which sometimes is called Little London in sweden, probably mostly because of the weather, and because people are considered friendly there. But been grown up in a small village about 15 miles from Mariestad ("Mary's Town") by swedens biggest lake Vänern. Now, since you've gotten this highly classified intel on me, I need you to review The Seventh Seal in exchange. (It's a B&W from the 50s). Then whether you review it before or after A Clockwork Orange, I leave up to you.

Louis Marzullo
>>147348604

I think we're on the same page about who "those guys" are, so I'm gonna leave it there! 😄... The Road to Hana (or Hana Highway) has its own Wiki page, which you might find interesting reading from a technical driving standpoint. ☺️

Mannygogou
>>147348604

heh he, I'll check out road to Hana. The thing is with advanced disruptive tech, it has to show up or it's just talk. So we just have to hang around and in 5 years we'll see something new but in 10 we can feel society changing. Nothing more need be said. Maybe history will later explain what held us back in the 'stone age' so-to-speak.

Mannygogou
>>147348604

the world has seen advancements before. The first commercial airplane flew in Jan 1914. When were the Wright brothers? Their first successful flight was Dec 1903 for 12 seconds. That's basically 10yrs 1month. Today things can happen even quicker. We just have collective amnesia. Then there's the washing machine... 🙂

Brian O'Grady

I’m a relatively new member, born & raised in Lincoln, Nebraska, close to smack in the middle of the US of A. One cool thing about Lincoln is that both Terms of Endearment and About Schmidt were filmed here. Both starring Jack Nicholson.

Björn Karlsson
>>147413591

Tjena!! I think she should do Lukas Moodysson's first feature film. You know which one I'm talking about 😍🥰😆

Louis Marzullo
>>147348604

I think a convo & a few beers with you would be time well spent, McG! I'm hoping to see more of a spiritual/psychological leap in the time I have left. At least to the point where we're not still slaughtering each other on a daily basis. How advanced tech could/would factor into that dynamic is fascinating, once we get "those guys" locked up! 😉

Björn Karlsson
>>147413591

Well he's kinda new here and a swede like me, and he is actually born at the same lake as Åmål is located, but on the other side of it 😄😄

Dolf (a.k.a. Anders Ericsson)
>>147413591

Guess you're referring to Fucking Åmål (which I thought was in Norrland, geography NOT being my main forte). I have never seen it and Lukas is unknown to me. The only one I might have seen is Lilja 4-ever. I was living abroad from 1985 to 2008 so as far as Sweden is concerned I have a big black cultural hole for that whole time period.

I'm from Melbourne in Australia. In 2023 Melbourne overtook Sydney as Australia's most populous city

Tommy Ivison

I'm from Southeast Missouri, USA. I have been a member since this past winter. Serval months back I left a comment that said you should react to Silverado. You wrote me back and said you would put it on your list. I was almost knocked to the floor when I saw you had picked Silverado for your western week. BTW western week was awesome, except for Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid. Like you, I thought it was a little too different for my taste. A final thought, may I recommend an old Matt Damon movie "The Rain Maker" (1997). It is a story about a young lawyer who sues the medical insurance company of a poor dying man. Also think about Julia Roberts "Erin Brockovich". Thanks and I wish you great success.

Björn Karlsson
>>147413591

Hehe OK 🙂 Wow 23 years is a long time 😃 Check up the directors Kjell Sundvall, Ulf Malmros, Lukas Moodysson, Tomas Alfredsson and Ruben Östlund. Great directors 🙂 Lilja 4-ever is such a brutal, dark and sad film 😪😪😪

Mannygogou
>>147348604

Oh I see. I think what might happen is that civilizations move forward, rolling past those things that will be known as obviously petty and that they'll quickly be forgotten. Change couldn't come at a better time.

Björn Karlsson
>>147297508

And Mariestad is bigger than Mjölby 😅😅 Btw... Mariestad is also an OK swedish beer 😁😁 Hehe I visited Tidaholm a couple of weeks ago. 😉

I’m lovin people’s stories about where they’re from in this one. So diverse

Joe M

Hi Dawn. I’m from New Jersey (USA). Awesome reaction btw. First time subscriber. I think it’s awesome you’re watching the Tarantino movies in order. Can’t wait for Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained. Keep up the good work with your channel ❤️👍
