My Favorite Weird Town in America | Truth or Consequences

- OBSCURIST TOURIST 143 - Truth or Consequences is a city in New Mexico. It has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names for having chosen to rename itself in the 1950s after a radio show of the same name. I spent a few days here to explore the town and immerse myself in its culture, but I also was not fully aware that I'd be one of the only tourists in the town because Ari Aster's Hollywood production for Eddington was filming throughout the duration of my stay. Interestingly, the entire town of T or C was converted instead into ... Eddington. The movie, slated to be released sometime in late 2024, stars Pedro Pascal, Austin Butler, Joaquin Phoenix, and Emma Stone.
Come along as I explore this weird little town in the heart of New Mexico.

Thanks for featuring our sweet little desert oasis! This quirky place got a little weirder when the movie came to town for sure. One of the funniest business takeovers was our super cool little venue (music, drinks), Love Shack, was turned into the Christ Center. You can sip some Sangria and give snaps to the music guest! Lastly, thanks for giving some love to our Skoolie, Old Bess, who was "starring" in Eddington. We're very proud of her for starting her film career so late in life 😊. Come back and see us and bring some friends!
Great video. Some of your spots were just part of the movie set (the desert rose bar…not a bar; the Christian place…a wine bar).
It good video ,but T or C has lot MORE to offer then our great downtown and T or C is gateway to many other great areas of Sierra County . I hope one day you visit and show off rest of our beautiful little county seat ..
I lived there for 7 years just got out lmao
My grandparents live there and I saw the filming of eddington in March and saw the walking phoenix
Amazing! I’d love it if my grandparents lived in T or C! 🤗

Ive always wanted to go there. Roswell is cool too.
It is a agave plant or a century plant, not aloe.
My Dad still lives there. Man,if i was with you i could show you some awesome things!
I could use a little local knowledge for the next time I’m in town!!! 😎🤗
God, I already wanted to see a trailer or a teaser for the new black comedy western film Eddington by Ari Aster, I don't know if the filmmaker was inspired by the film Herod's Law by Luis Estrada but removing the Mexican politics and adding Qanon, COVID-19, the fights between right and left parties and the year 2020.
It already made me want to visit that town in New Mexico.
It’s such a cool place. You gotta go!!!
Used to live there in the late 80's and it's nice to see so much is the same. Gonna have to go back one of these days and check it out since being a teenager at the time I didn't give it a chance (going from beach front views to desert kinda was a shock).
I’ve been visiting since 2010 and I absolutely love that it hasn’t changed at all. I love cool towns that tourists have not yet discovered. Though, I’m sure the town itself would fully welcome way more tourists
That was an agave or century plant. Not an aloe. The same kind of plant you make tequila from.
Also, we don't have any bars or saloons downtown. We have Raymonds bar, Los Arcos, and the golf course at Turtleback Mountain Resort. Most of what you saw was for the movie set. Most places downtown is art galleries and chochki stores. TorC Brewery is great. They have an AMAZING Cosmic Blonde. TorC is known as the Santa Fe of Southern NM.
I watched the video, and i mean no offense but If you're a tourist and filming these places, why aren't you learning more about them to educate your subscribers prior to filming so that you can educate people about these destinations?
Literally you could have taken 10 minutes to talk to any local and learned about the town prior to filming this. 😂
I the A&B used to have a 1 lb meat burrito that was the absolutely best!
That’s AMAZING! 😂
You missed the best parts of our town by limiting yourself to 2 streets. We have so many fantastic places to share. A healing arts center, 5 dispensaries, a bowling alley, a glamp camp, a town full of healers and artists. The Rio Grande runs right through our town and offers floating in the summer. The Healing Waters Trail offers hiking with an incredible view of the town. A walk through of Ralph Edward's Park when mentioning Fiesta would have been beautiful since it was the main host of the party for so many years. This video didn't even know the difference between real businesses, closed businesses and movie sets. You showed our beautiful mountain from behind trees. If you want to feature our town please come back and let a local give you a proper tour first. We have so much to offer.
What a rude commercial on this mans video. Not all residents are so salty!
I don't feel that it is salty to say that our town is absolutely beautiful and what is shown here is not a representation of our town at all. Nor do I feel like I am running a commercial when I get no reimbursement, nor did I mention any business name. Just a person that loves my town.
@@ravenwillow other people can create videos of places without needing such criticisms of their effort. He did this for fun not your emotions. Entitlement to be so nasty about this one makes me less inclined to support your efforts in the town. Salty af.
He's a visitor! A guest.
Think about it.
How dare you call Eddington!
I'm just kidding bro I don't miss that town. the only thing I miss from there is my dad and my sister and my brother!
😂
I can fully understand why someone would want to escape from T or C. I love to visit there; but even after two days I started to get a little antsy to leave.
