I assume the "B---" actor Erin is speaking of is Bob Barker, honorable host of the best damn show on television. That is, if you're a 60-year old woman.

Yeah, Bob went to Drury. About the Bourne thing, I'm from Nixa, and that had us talking for months. We even hoped the third movie would be shot here (of course, the plot would to have been changed quite a bit). Don't forget Southwest Missouri getting a mention in the Best Picture-winning Million Dollar Baby.

We had fun with The Bourne Supremacy because Jason's 'real' name is exactly the same as one of our good friends. David Webb.

Remember the X-Files episode that ended in a call center in Camdenton, Mo.? That's where I'm from!

Nice write-up in Go Magazine's 20 Under 30 about you guys, among other noble Springfieldians. But I did notice Bob Barker was missing from the issue even though he's looking young as ever.
And as far as Hollywood recognizing Missouri goes, I think Deep Impact beats all the rest when President Morgan Freeman thinks of a way to save humanity from an unfortunately-guided comet by putting a bunch of people in Missouri caves.

My hometown, Wichita, Kansas, has a fair share of movie shout outs. Such as in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles: "Are you saying I could be stuck in Wichita?" Or All the President's Men: "That's a bullshit question, that's a question straight out of Wichita, Kansas."
Ah... Hollywood loves Wichita.

Earlier this week on Good Eats (yep, I watch the Food Network), the show started with a guy in a kitchen looking perplexed. The host asked him what was wrong, and he said, "Tonight's pot roast night, and Mom's gone."
"Where did she go?"
"Branson, Missouri."
So the host helped the poor fella learn how to cook pot roast, and all was well.
Mom never returned.
