Well, ain't this place a geographic oddity! I'm the Mike Calnan you refer to. My wife and I are "affiliated" with Radford and Virginia Tech, where we met many years ago. "Is you or is you ain't my constitency!?" I help at the SCHF with the website and other things. Your video is beyond awesome, with the attention to detail in comparing the scenes, as well as the love you show the movie. George Clooney, Tim Blake Nelson, and Holly Hunter were the nicest people ever, chatting with the extras and generally being very pleasant. John Turturro was "in character" the whole time he was here, so nobody really got to meet him, only his character "Pete," At least he wasn't a toad. The shot from the banquet scene with the woman taking a picture of the people at the table with a "disposable camera" was Holly Hunter. The extras were very honored that she would want to take their pictures. My wife is the person in the blue hat at the head table next to Vernon Waldrop. Holly Hunter was on the other side of Vernon wearing a white hat. I was at "Table 1," the first table to the left looking from the stage.

Mike!!! Thanks for watching the video! I loved looking through your albums over the last couple years while researching the spots. It is one of my favorite movies of all time! I can’t even imagine the experience of getting to watch that many masters at work all at once. The Coens, Roger Deakins, and the group of actors 🤯

I am a professional musician who happens to live in Yazoo City. I have played in the auditorium in Vicksburg many times as the upright bassist in a jazz trio, and in the Canton Square courthouse yard as the tuba player of the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra many times. I tool down Long Lake Road in my Jeep looking for mud to drive around in. In fact, I have been to at least 75% of these sites since I moved here in 1993. This is an excellent video. Thanks for taking such care to produce it; the result was well worth your effort. And yes, this is one of my favorite films, too. It is the best modernization of Homer's "The Odyssey" that I have ever come across. I love John Goodman as Polyphemus the cyclops. And the sirens were great, too. Fantastic stuff, to be sure. I live about five blocks from the several spots in Yazoo City, and my daily walk takes me past one of them every day. How fun to see these places on KZread, with film scene overlays, to boot!

Thank you for your kind words, Holton! I’m an upright bass and low brass player myself, though it’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to play. I studied music in college and trombone was my primary instrument, but they had me on euphonium most of the time 😂. It must be cool getting to see those spots every day! Not only one of my favorite movies but one of my favorite location hunts so far!

That movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” is one of my all time favorite movies ever. That was the movie that got me introduced to George Clooney, who since became one of my favorite actors. Those filming locations were incredible, it was like, when walking through different locations where the movie was shot was like being part of the movie too.

Nice editing on the overlays, very cool.

This was great. I was born in Vicksburg, but I grew up in Northern California. I visited there a few years back, but did not really have a chance to see the town properly. Having said that, I always feel a resonance or deep connection whenever I travel to the south. This was an extremely well done video. I’m so glad that I discovered your channel. Truly excellent work you guys.

Excellent video. The overlays added a much needed touch to a location video. Something most KZreadrs do not do (I follow quite a few). You've got another subscriber!

Very interesting. I was very impressed with the rock formations in the river. There are holes in the rocks.

Probably my #1 favorite movie of all time. It's just absolute perfection from beginning to end. Also one of only two movies I've ever seen multiple times while it was still in the theater. Honestly can't even count how many times I've watched it in total. All these years later and I still quote it all the time lol. I'd really love to go back and visit Mississippi, I spent some time there in Meridian for my 'A school' after boot camp in the navy but the only off-base time we had was to go into town and back.

I'm as fascinated by all the KZread videos about this movie - almost as much as the movie itself. I think it should have won a few Oscars. Love the scene matching.
