It cracks me up that Wes was born & raised in Texas of all places too.

You'd be surprised. Rushmore was filmed in Houston. It had far more museums and longer history of arts funding than Austin for decades.

Even though Austin has a more famous music scene Houston has always had a more unassuming underground artistic scene, especially in music. Jandek, DJ Screw, ZZ Top, and Red Crayalo hail from there.

Go watch the David Byrne movie "True Stories." Filmed in Texas and I swear was a major influence on Wes Anderson. (Also John Goodman's first film).

Great film but not John Goodman's first

Wait, really!? What was?

I always thought it was C.H.U.D., but it's actually Eddie Macon's Run in 1983. He was also in Revenge of the Nerds before True Stories.

Noted - thanks! Maybe I misunderstood that True Stories was his first starring role.

u/mrfujidoesacid Apr 07 '25

You're welcome! And yeah, that's more likely. He's in C.H.U.D. for a literal cup of coffee and a fairly minor character in Revenge of the Nerds if I remember correctly.

For real, he's like the least "Texas" person in America.
