1984
An outsider reads the room.
The joke often starts with a doorway: who belongs inside, and who gets to decide? Los Angeles buildings provide the film’s polished surfaces, with the Biltmore standing in for a fictional hotel across town. The journey follows those real addresses rather than the geography implied by the dialogue.
Locations are sequenced as a fan journey, not a plot recap. Songs, scenes and episodes lead the route; changed, private and doubled sites are labelled rather than smoothed into fiction.
4 public-place or area references. Private properties and unlocated historic sites stay off the map.

No strong current event association is published for this World. We would rather leave this quiet than force a generic city listing.
A shared venue or neighbourhood connects a programme to the map; a city-level programme connects only to the World’s medium. Neither implies a themed event, cast appearance or artist performance. Confirm dates, location, access and tickets with the organiser.
