I am an L. A. resident and comedian for over twenty years with an unreasonable amount of movie knowledge to answer your questions, test your trivia, and keep the party lively. I'm the founder/exec. producer/writer & host of TheMovieGuys. net (est. 2009), which has been home to all manner of movie-related content - reviews, articles, podcasts, live shows, comedy events, red carpets, movie premieres, Comic-Con hosting and more with over a million views on various platforms, including Apple Podcasts and YouTube. My film reviews and articles have been syndicated all over the web on websites and newsletters, reaching hundreds of thousands of readers. Plus, I've appeared on radio stations and podcasts in D. C. , Chicago, London, Dallas, L. A. and everywhere in between talking movies and am writing my first book based on interviews with over 200 actors, filmmakers and comics from my podcasts - The Movie Showcast, The TMG Interview, Movie Nonsense and The Ford Fiesta. Half the reason your tour will be so unique is that you get to pick what you see and you get to stop and take photos. The other half is me. Los Angeles TCP #: PSG0040705

The Perfect Tour for Someone Who Loves the Movies and the Beach!
Overview of your Los Angeles tour
The L. A. West Side Film Locations Tour will take you to the locations where your favorite movies (and some TV shows!) were filmed, with a unique experience catered entirely to what you want to see. And as we tour the west side of Los Angeles, you'll see plenty of the Pacific and the eclectic oceanside towns of L. A. I'll be focused on you, answering questions, sharing trivia & taking pictures at famous movie sites you've seen for years, perhaps your whole life, but have never stood in front of. . . until now. That's right, we'll get out of the car and take pics! I'll pick you up to start the tour where it's most convenient. We can decide this place upon booking (it could be your hotel if it's friendly to your customized route!), I'll pick you up there & start showing you around town.
Your Los Angeles tour itinerary
I've listed 28 locations we could visit and you pick your top ten spots - those will be guaranteed! No reason for me to pick places from movies you don't like or have never seen, YOU pick the locations and it'll be a greatest hits of just the films you love. There may be no more quintessential beach cities than Santa Monica and Venice. We'll go there and beyond to see iconic movie locations. Among the places you can choose: The Dude's Apartment from THE BIG LEBOWSKI Fletch's Apartment from FLETCH Trax Record Store from PRETTY IN PINK The Firehouse Diner from SPEED THE GOLDEN GIRLS house Rydell High from GREASE And classic L. A. points of interest like the Santa Monica Pier and Randy's Donuts where multiple films have been shot! Your tour ends at the same place it started or any location in Hollywood by your request. It's often good to pick a restaurant or bar so you can dine or have a drink there before or after your tour to continue your immersion in L. A. film history. Let's get weird!
