[PATREON PREVIEW] Rome vs. Seattle: Which Makes a Better Movie Backdrop?

OCT 17, 20245 MIN

Description

In this exclusive bonus episode—of which we're sharing just a sneak peek here—we chat about what movies get wrong when they showcase a particular city when filming on location.

What major mistake was made in the filming of Sleepless in Seattle, and did they actually drive a car down the Spanish Steps in the latest Mission Impossible film? What annoyed Katy about a famous movie that takes place in her hometown, and what's the worst movie that was ever shot in Rome (in Tiffany's opinion)?

Tiffany also shares a funny interaction she had with a famous actor who was filming on location in Rome.
