This is (are?) Vasquez Rocks, so often featured in film and TV productions because they’re conveniently located near-ish to LA.
If I remember, it has something to do with how finances are handled for filming outside LA and keeping it close makes filming a lot cheaper, not just due to distance.
Yup. The “Thirty Mile Zone” is used in union contracts to define local shoots versus location shoots. Basically, if you stay in the TMZ everybody has to drive to work and buy their own food.
You abbreviating it made me go look up if that tabloid rag TMZ is named after that, and it absolutely is
Not that it’s useful or relevant, but mostly for anyone else who was like ‘wait, isn’t that the tabloids name…’
Oh that’s totally useful and relevant, and the tabloid’s name makes complete sense now!
Well for Bill and Ted it was intentionally referenced
I mean they could not have been more obvious about it, they were literally watching Arena at one point
Thankfully every biome of every planet in every sci Fi IP ever exists within 30 miles from Hollywood /s(?)
Except Stargate, where oddly every planet looks like the forests near Vancouver
But fr, it was so nice to have some green in scifi for a change.
“It’s amazing how the Martian countryside looks exactly like Southern California.”
Live long, and party on!

A most excellent catchphrase!
That had to be intentional on the part of the Bill and Ted crew
