Sorry, I tried to premiere it this morning, as usual, but youtube was having a glitch, and the premiere wouldn't start. 10 min after it was supposed to start, it still hadn't, so I cancelled the premiere.

You...did a terrific job presenting the museum. Thank you! ❤ I agree, the museum left me sorely disappointed. There is nothing celebrating early silent films and the beginnings of Hollywood film industry. No DW Griffith... No Charlie Chaplin... Harold Lloyd or Buster Keaton. No Squaw man... No Mary Pickford! A Travesty. My favorite part is the open air observation deck with the stunning view! I could sit there all day. And yes loads of dead space... 🤦🤷 I've said over and over huge mistake for the Academy to turn down the memorabilia Debbie Reynolds had. And yes! I one hundred percent agree the collection of items I want to see is Todd's. Far and away superior to the Academy Museum. 💪💪❤

Enjoyed this video and thank you for doing it. Lol but God if Debbie Reynolds had gotten to do her dream museum Wow it would have been epic!

Thank you Jordan, and I second what you said. Todd seems to have so much more memorabilia, thank goodness for Debbie!! He could make a fortune loaning it out, just NOT to Ripleys!!

It's hard to view this whole heartedly after seeing Todd's collection from his mother Debbie. I love the Hollywood theme, though, and watch alot of your old videos from when you were still living there. Thanks, Jordan.

The Wizard of Oz stuff gave me goosebumps. Museum is a little underwhelming in some ways but that stuff is priceless.

You tried Jordan. Considering how much memorabilia that there is and how much Debbie Reynolds alone had whomever put that museum together missed the mark. They were stupid to not help Debbie get the museum going years ago. I am happy that Todd, Debbie's son let you take us through his home to showcase the treasures ge has. He has done so much better than those who did the California museum.

Debbie worked so hard to cultivate a phenomenal collection for a museum. I will never understand why the Academy refused to cooperate with her.

Thank you for sharing your talents, your gifts with the viewers. As I age I can't travel for very far and for any long length of time. Your vlogs mean a lot to me and to my family. Hello to Jah.

I’m just so happy to see you! No matter what you do or don’t do just doesn’t occur to me! I grew up near L.A. but never could see the prizes that you have creatively shared. Thank you for going all over the world, and with the best energy and love of history.

Seemed like a half heartedly done project. Debbie was so ahead of her time. Todd's is much better thanks to his Mom. Thank you for taking me along. Even with such lackluster on Hollywood's part You did a fine job. They should thank you.

So happy to see you back in LA, Jordan! Loving the Hollywood tours! Thanks!! 😁

I was so excited to see the costume from the Wiz! I’m a huge Wizard of Oz fan so seeing those costumes and the Ruby slippers are always a delight!

Again, a really cool vlog. Thanks for sharing this. I've been watching a lot of the old Hollywood movies lately and feeling very nostalgic. It's sad that the academy couldn't get their act together around the time Debbie wanted to start a museum because it could have been epic

I agree with you, Todd Fisher was so much better. They should have listen to Debbie, the studio would have made million. Todd has always been good with his mother’s memorabilia. Thank you for doing your vlog, you do a wonderful job and I love JAH too. Once again, thank you.

Thank you Jordan for the vlog I Agree Todd Fisher has better display of memorabilia i would pay $25 to see all of wonderful Museum Todd Fisher has displayed thanks for all your hard work

It's funny but before I watched your opinion at the end I was thinking the same thing you said. Can you imagine how wonderful this place would have been if Debbie and Todd had designed it! Once again Hollywood missed out on a great opportunity when they didn't back Debbie. Thanks for the video Jordan.

Am with you! Todd Fisher's home museum is the one that I would very much like to visit! (Saw his Mom's collections at her Vegas hotel & again when items went up for auctions at The Paley Center in Beverly Hills. So many of those items are forever gone. Shame on Hollywood for letting them go!)

A classic case of the wrong people doing the job. When there's not alot of integrity or passion in a project, it shows. You'd have to pay me $25 to go there.

Fascinating! I have seen another pair of the Ruby slippers at the Smithsonian Museum in DC. It's a shame the Academy didn't think of a museum 90 years ago- imagine all the props and costumes and movie memorabilia that could have been saved for posterity. Thank you Jordan for showing us these treasures- so enjoyed your trip across country!!! 😊😍🥰❤️☀️🦩

WOW!!! Lots of interesting things. Loved the Mildred Pierce dress. Thanks Jordan.

Love the video! That one costume from Oz was worn by Mabel King from the show What’s Happening.♥️

Thanks Jordan! I totally agree with you. Todd’s collection was so great! Looking forward to what is next for you. I hope to see you go international again. Of course I will continue to support you like I have since the beginning. ~Love&Light♥️C.

Agreed Jordan, not enough stuff!! I loved the costumes but not nearly enough of them. I went on Streisand's 80th birthday and crossed the Barbra Streisand Bridge out onto the outdoor patio with a fantastic view. That for me was the best part. I hope they get their hands on more stuff, we want more stuff! Thank you.

It makes me so mad that all those years Debbie Renyolds tried to have all those great costumes and memoriabilia put into a museum and no one would help her. You would think some of the giants in the industry could of banded together done a fundraiser or something to make it happen. Breaks my heart she tried all those years and never saw her dream realized and now lots of it has been auctioned off prob into private collections.

I feel like this museum is so underwhelming. There was such a huge potential to have an immersive experience using the costumes and pieces, and instead it was just a lot of cases full of random things that didn't tell any kind of a story, which is ironic for what it is. It feels like any collector's house, only with black walls. I just cannot believe they passed up Debbie's entire collection in favor of... that? I'm happy I have a piece of her collection at least. Oh, what could have been...

Thank you for taking us along! I'm thinking they will keep adding to the museum. Maybe in a few years they will fill in some of the empty spaces. I always enjoy your content. Thanks again.

Debbie Reynolds could've packed that place with awesome items!!

Thanks for all of your fabulous videos.

Thank you Jordan, I agree with you and I was thanking the same thing. The memorabilia Todd has is so much more and more interesting than what we saw. You always make the best videos.

Thank you, Mr. Jordan. It's nice to visit L.A., but I'm glad you got out of there!

Agree with you Jordan Also the missing info on the dresses

I loved it here when we visited. I liked how they used memorabilia to tell the story of filmmakers rather than going the Max Factor route of cramming as much memorabilia into the space as possible. I also adored the animation and sci-fi section.

I agree. Todd Fisher's home has a better collection of memorabilia.

Another fine presentation by you, Jordan. I absolutely agree with your evaluation re the sparse nature of the displays. Hopefully the Academy won't be satisfied with this not-really-adequate arrangement and layout. Todd Fisher definitely could give them some pointers. I've known many people in film who would've set up the items in a fascinating way to please the patrons immensely. But it's almost as though it was put together by people who were detached and didn't love film and film history. It WAS wonderful seeing the Joan Crawford suit from MILDRED PIERCE and finding out what the color is. Never would have guessed that one...LOL! But why not have a costume from Ann Blyth's character, too? She had any number of memorable outfits. Or a suit from Jack Carson? The mostly empty room you show at the beginning and at the end where a large Oscar stands and a few red cushions are scattered about could have housed some huge posters. One for BULLITTwould be great and the museum could get the owner of McQueen's Mustang to loan it for display there in that lobby. The other floors could have exhibits broken up into decades. And as long as I'm being nitpicky, why in the world did they choose such an ugly building entrance design and locate it around the back where The May Comany parking lot used to be? Off Wilshire would have been much better. But that's enough of tearing down. I do so appreciate your taking us along on the journey to see what is displayed. You always make every effort to create an enjoyable video. You're such a darling (I can say that since I'm 80 years old...hahaha!).

Debbie Reynolds was so ahead of her time. It broke my heart in the documentary when they were talking to her about selling parts of her collection & she didn't want to but had to financially. Every piece meant something to her.

Jordan this was a great vlog because of you!!!…But I fully agree that Todd Fisher’s collection is far more superior!!!…Thanks for taking us to places that we might not get to…I really appreciate what you do!…☺️❤️

Thanks, I always enjoy your videos. They are interesting and fun. You take me to places I'll probably never get to visit.

What an amazing adventure. I speak for my self as for my wife when I say we love your videos it is so enjoy entertaining and joyful to watch your videos it gives the ones like us that don't have the means to travel over the country to visit with you and it means the world to us Jordan! Also we love seeing you little dog. One of my favorite videos of yours is of Macho Man Randy Savage. He was a favorite of mine growing up and him is Spider Man was hilarious when I figured out that it was him.

I agree, Todd has alot more memorabilia at his home, but I still think this vlog at this museum was great to see and learn about because I personally wouldn't get to see any of the displays if it wasn't for Jordan's video here,so result in my view.

Thanks for showing this and most unlikely that I will be traveling to California so appreciate your work

And CONGRATS on 250,000 Subs!!😊

Ok ! Thank you for your critique at the end. Your honestly was so awesome. Todd’s collection was better as is the max factor museum collection. My heart ♥️ hurt that there was no Bette Davis anything. And I have to know why was Joan Crawford black ? Thank you for your video. You cured my fomo ( fear of missing out) on this tourist attraction.

Totally agree on the dead space in that buidling. It was a letdown during our visit.

Really enjoyed! Thanks Jordan!❤️

My first impression was like, meh…I don’t know. Indeed Todd’s collection is much more interesting and impressive. What a missed opportunity for this museum; a collaboration would/could have resulted in a truly awesome collection, worthy of $ 25,- but hey, this is only my opinion. It was good to see the difference. This museum strikes me as static whereas Todd’s collection is clearly a labor of love.

Orson Wells autobiography said that the Rosebud sled that Spielberg purchased was not original. Spielbergs reaction was not a happy one.

Awesome vlog as always! And it’s Gale Sondegard.

Thanks again Jordan! Well done 👏

It's a neat place. BTW,the Wizard of Oz camera is actually not one used for the movie. It's the same model as one that was used.

I think I enjoyed all the Debbi Reynolds and Todd Fisher collections better than the Academy. Too bad we didn’t have a Debbi Reynolds Academy of Motion Pictures. She use to own so much. Edit: I wrote this half way through and just caught the end where you said the same thing about Todd Fishers collection.

Thanks Jordon i really enjoyed the tour 😊

We were just there in June. It’s a really good museum to visit especially if you’re into movies. I loved the Wizard of Oz section. It was surreal seeing the ruby red slippers. It was my favorite movie when I was a kid. ❤️

Todd's place is so much better than this museum! Thank you and Todd and his wife for sharing all they have really enjoyed the stories also. Love to all from Wyoming

I definitely would not pay the entrance fee for this museum. Thanks Jordan, for showing us this. Todd's museum was great and showed us more. This is one thing in L.A., if I ever go there, I can mark off my bucket list to go and see, without walking in there! The Smithsonian and Todd's museum has way more to see. I don't know about Todd's, but the Smithsonian is free!

Nothing from Gone With the Wind? My favorite. Thank you.

FYI..Rita Moreno's black and gold evening gown which she wore to the Oscar's, was custom designed for her by Jose "Pitoy" Moreno a celebrated Filipino couturier who designed for Royalty and celebrities..It's a pleasant surprise to see Mr Moreno's creation displayed in the museum..

Debbie Reynolds has more to see and shows a love of the industry

That museum isn’t going to last a tourist is better off at Universal Studios it’s a shame Debbie Reynolds museum never took off. It was nice the building was repurposed from old May Company Department Store

Thanks Jordan. I’ve wanted to see it ever since opening. First COVID then surge now recent events in and around LA I’ve been forbidden 😱🤬😪

The museum’s emphasis should be from the infancy of silent films to the end of the 1970s. There is too much inclusion and appeasement, but all of that should be saved for a different museum or exclusive to a separate exhibit. This museum does a pitiful job at showcasing the history of tinsel town, in addition to the stars, films, moguls, and filmmakers who made the industry.

Love your videos..How's our wee man doing haven't seen him for awhile

Nope, nope, nope. It's nothing compared to Todd Fisher's private museum collection, although The Wizard of Oz collection was cool. This was neat, but you and Todd have already shown us probably the best collection in Hollywood (...Vegas.) Thanks for showing us. (Glad they let you film in there!)

It is a mystery to me why the Academy refused Debbie's collection. This vlog also brought to mind the gentleman you interviewed who was faithfully preserving Mae West's wardrobe. If memory serves, the Academy refused his collection also. Without doubt, the Academy lost out. For example, it was interesting to see the photographs of Gale Sondergaard's make up tests as the Wicked Witch, but how much more interesting would it have been had the Arabian Slippers been on display - that would surely have brought home the message of how an original concept changes during the pre-production period. Also - a Maltese Falcon wouldn't have gone amiss. And yes - the Ruby slippers should have been rotated - they need to sparkle - just like in the film when the close up shot had Dorothy wearing the slippers, and moving her foot in order for the lights to catch the sequins. I'm afraid my overall impression of the Academy Museum is that it is simply a place where selected historical exhibits are displayed. This is what I would expect from an Art Museum or a Heritage Centre - but I can't help feeling the Academy could have done better. It made me wonder if the Academy understand the true value of the exhibits. Don't get me wrong - there were some amazing exhibits - but there was an absence of 'magic'. I believe Debbie Reynolds DID have the wisdom and foresight to recognise the true value of what she was collecting. I believe she knew it wasn't just 'movie memorabilia' , but actually, to millions of movie goers - it was the stuff that dreams are made of. Many thanks Jordan for this visit - it was fascinating to see what the Academy had put together. Please excuse the rant - Elizabeth Cumming.

I enjoyed this video Jordan and i agree they didn't have a lot to see it feels like they were missing a lot. Thanks again jordan for showing this people can get an idea if they want to see it and by the way I know you are so glad that you moved out of LA.

Jordon, I love your videos and You Are Great 👍 At All your Hard Work pays off 🙃🙋‍♀️

Thank you, Jordan. Agree with your take on the museum, but great fun none the less. The more poignant question for me regarding you is how you are experiencing being back in L.A.? What's coming up for you in regards this, however temporary? This is (was) such a pivotal place for you, a place where you aimed your dice , a place - that at least initially - embodied your dreams.. In the meanwhile, glad to see your warm and animated face . Rooting for your joy. Until next-

I loved all the costumes.

I have heard it is very hard to start a museum from scratch. Too bad that this one was disappointing. You probably heard about the recent auction by James Comisar. He sold off lots of his TV memorabilia, like sets from Johnny Carson, David Letterman, Cheers, All in the Family, etc. He never got to start a museum.

Agree with your opinion!

Hi Jordan! I agree it was so much wasted space. Todd’s was way better. I was not in awe at all! Well my time with your vlogs is coming to an end school starts back Monday. Thank you for taking me to all these great places. God bless you.

Awesome! I’m a big Wizard Of Oz fan and Judy Garland her self so thanks 🙏🏼!!!!

Debbie Reynolds would have done it better. But since I'm never going to California it's nice to see it through your Vlogs.

Freida Calla was an excellent movie. Selma Hayek was fantastic.

Awesome 🤩

They definitely just give you what you pay for at this Hollywood museum. It’s a shame the people who run Hollywood didn’t open a museum with Debbie Reynolds collection for sure! Thanks Jordan for satisfying my curiosity on this place. Todd Fisher did a way super better job in showing Debbie’s movie memorabilia than Hollywood. I think Hollywood takes their personal grudges on people a little bit too far sometimes and end up missing many invaluable opportunities in the end to make their tourism even more valuable & appealing. Thanks for all your hard work, dedication and honesty in presenting your vlogs. ❤️🙏🏻⭐️👍

Newman's Rolex brought almost $5M at auction not that long ago--with that non-original leather band! I wonder: owned by the museum--or on loan?

Another great video. Thank you for sharing. And I'm so glad you said it. They really did waste a lot of space. I agree Todd Fisher has more interesting stuff. I went to the Debbie Reynolds museum in Vegas in the early 90's, and that was fantastic museum!! Shame it couldn't sustain itself. I've seen more interesting exhibits at the Museum and Television and Radio in Beverly Hills.

We went in May, and as we were going to leave, underwhelmed, my wife started seeing in her phone that there was supposed to be an Artoo Detoo there. She asked a worker who directed her to go inside this upper floor room and then cross it, and enter through a NARROW hallway. We did, and we found the real payoff for attending. There was Artoo, Threepio, a Terminator prosthetic head, some matte paintings from Batman Returns, some puppets from The Dark Crystal, a spacesuit from 2001 A Space Odyssey, and the real reason I’d went in the first place: the Aries spaceship model, the only surviving model from 2001. Had my wife not asked, I would’ve left completely let down. So if you guys go, be sure to ask about it. It’s terrible that it’s not more obvious!

THANKS SO MUCH DEAR JORDAN...I AM SO HAPPY YOU " ESCAPED '....WHEN YOU DID...IT IS SO EMBARRASSING TO SEE THE STARS ON HOLLYWOOD BLVD. LIKE THAT.. I AGREE.

Have you seen "The Old Man" on Hulu with Jeff Bridges? It's a pretty good show.

Glad to hear you say what I was thinking. Very disappointing museum, in the light of so much wealth and history of the movie biz.

The MidSommar dress!!!!! That was neat!!!

Thank you

it's fasinating to see all the costumes beautiful... when seeing the camera I thought of Todd....another pretty interesting vlog...yea Todd had more lol. have a safe great day !!! 😊

That was great!

I think Dorothy’s dress on the right is briefly seen. It is worn by the stand-in who opens the door and we see Munchkinland beyond it. She steps back and is replaced by Judy Garland in the technicolor version dress. It is also seen in one b &w costume test.

I agree with you. Todd’s museum is better! I thought there would be more, too.

It left more to be desired. Todd Fischer's collection is no joke, he has some real good memorabilia! Los Angeles has become a cesspool Just looking at the tented homeless, and the crime surrounded by the privileged few. Don't blame you left that toxic environment Jordan.

My sense is that they are working so hard to be relevant 21st century cool they forgot about interesting. And this thing of mandatory vat and masks at this time. …I won’t go back until that stops. I won’t miss them. They won’t miss me. Mutual benefit.

I was at the Academy Museum two weeks after it opened and I felt the same way after seeing it. They really missed an opportunity to display tons of material from movies that everyone wants to see. I thought it was because the museum was brand new when I went, but it's interesting to see that wasn't the case.

Cheers.

Jordan you spoiled me with Debbie's collection and Todd's stories.. $25.00 for that?

Just went there this past week and was very underwhelmed. They have so much space to show more movie history props and they aren’t.

I remember Debbie Reynolds would be on all the talk shows talking about her collection. It's a shame, she could not get the museum off the ground. She knew it was critical to save all the historical movie items. We're spoiled looking at Todd's collection.

Mask and vaccine proof? Wow, crazy city, glad I live in a normal area.

Liked the vlog ftom Margaret P England

Hi Jordan! Loved seeing this but i agree with you! Wish they had items about the “Godfather”.

I second Todd's collection being better. And, he didn't make you put on a mask, show papers, and pay money to see it.

The only thing I saw that is worth seeing is the flower dress from Midsommar. I’m not a fan of the Wizard of Oz and don’t recognize most of the other costumes
