Ep. 25: Jeannine Oppewall at Union Station from "Catch Me If You Can"

Ever wonder what it was really like to stand on that iconic street corner or inside that legendary movie set? On Location with Jared Cowan takes you there, microphone in hand. Hosted by photographer and film journalist Jared Cowan, this isn't just a discussion about scenes; it's an audio tour guided by the people who created them. Jared’s deep expertise, rooted in years of writing about Los Angeles filming locations-starting with an early deep-dive into the San Fernando Valley spots used in "The Karate Kid"-informs every conversation. Each episode is recorded on-site at the actual places where cinematic magic happened, featuring candid talks with the directors, crew, and actors who have stories you’ve never heard. The podcast pulls back the curtain on the practical realities, unexpected challenges, and fleeting moments of genius that occur when a location becomes a character. You’ll get the sense of standing beside Jared as he asks the questions that reveal how a simple place is transformed into an unforgettable piece of film history. It’s for anyone who has ever watched a movie and wanted to linger in that world just a little longer, understanding the concrete details behind the illusion.
