    Half Past Dead (2002) Review

    Tony Gregori isn’t just a popular comic book artist—he’s an enigma. You’d think a guy who spends his time working his magic, drawing amazing images, walking his adorable dog, practicing hot yoga, and putting on the first Comics Arts of Missoula (CAM) Festival wouldn’t have time to watch Steven Seagal movies with Larkin and Josh. You’d be half past dead wrong.Listen as we discuss the unlikely friendship of Seagal and Ja Rule, prison rules, our own predilection for prison hierarchies, and just how bleak the future could be.#StevenSeagal #JaRule #HalfPastDead #TonyGregori #ComicsArtsOfMissoula #CAMFestival #ComicBooks #PrisonMovies #ActionMovies #BadMovies #2000sMovies #LarkinMattoon #JoshQuick #OMFG #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #Missoula #Montana

    Ted K (2021) Review

    If you visit Trixie’s Bar in Ovando, Montana, you might spot a shirt that says, “I got wasted in Ovando and bombed in Lincoln”—a piece of dark-tourism merch sitting somewhere near the bird sculptures made from horse droppings and just below ye olde box of huckleberry chocolates.Also, Trixie’s is awesome. Get a burger there. No shade.This week, OMFG tackles Ted K, a movie about a terrorist who caused a whole lot of tragedy and havoc in his day. We cover it as best we can sans Courtney B.—and about an hour into the pod, you’ll understand exactly how important it is to have Courtney around, as the guys wander down a road that feels… a little off track.Along the way, we dig into the manifesto, mental health, living in the woods, and, naturally, the importance of recycling.#TedK #TedKaczynski #Unabomber #MontanaMovies #MontanaFilm #OvandoMontana #LincolnMontana #TrixiesBar #DarkTourism #MoviePodcast #FilmPodcast #MontanaPodcast #OMFGPodcast #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #IndieFilm #MovieReview

    Out 1 (1971) Review

    Courtney Blazon is not only an amazing, prolific, and popular artist—she also has stamina. And by stamina, we mean a 13-hour movie is no problem for her.Join us as we dive deep into Jacques Rivette’s 1971 experimental epic Out 1: a slippery plot, wild improvisation, mysterious rituals, secret societies, and a conspiracy that may or may not be holding everything together.#Out1 #JacquesRivette #FrenchCinema #ExperimentalFilm #ArthouseCinema #JeanPierreLeaud #JulietBerto #FilmPodcast #MoviePodcast #CultCinema #1970sCinema #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #OMFGPodcast

    Continental Divide (1981) Review

    When you're an eagle freak, there's no remedy—you're just locked in 24/7, and you never want to give it up. High-altitude, man. Feels like the end of the fucking world up there: thin air, craggy hellscapes, and vistas forever.Join OMFG as we discuss the blindness of love, bad carpentry, and why science is important.#OMFG #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #MontanaMovies #MoviePodcast #FilmPodcast #MontanaFilm #EagleFreak #HighAltitude #CultMovies #MovieTalk

    Delta Force (1986) Review

    Delta Force: the elite of all U.S. forces—and you know what that means: crazy dirt bikes, dune buggies, makeshift terrorist bases, churches doubling as hostage prisons, and Chuck Norris operating at maximum Chuck Norris.Larkin and Josh get down with the sickness and do their best to describe a spectacle that really has to be seen to be believed.#DeltaForce #ChuckNorris #80sMovies #ActionMovies #CannonFilms #MoviePodcast #OMFGPodcast

    Wake Up in Fright (1971) - Bundanyabba, AUS is Hamilton, MT

    Daniel and I are sitting in Bernice’s, drinking coffee and waiting for our other buddies, when we somehow get onto the subject of the sun eventually expanding, swallowing the Earth, and turning us all into plasma.I tell him that’s why I’m skeptical of reincarnation. How can we keep being reborn if, eventually, there’s nowhere left to be born?Daniel says reincarnation is already happening constantly. Our breath becomes plant food. We eat the plants. Everything becomes everything else. It’s all in how you look at it.And Wake in Fright is all about how you look at things.A 1971 nightmare set in the Australian Outback: guns, sweat, grime, masculinity, madness—and maybe a little Aristotle?Listen to OMFG—Original Montana Film Guide—as we discuss this timeless movie. And, for God’s sake, don’t get stranded in Bundanyabba.

    The Heartbreak Kid (1972) - Midwestern Wasp Fantasy

    Sometimes marriage is a horror story: cosmic incompatibility, narcissism, too much too soon—you know the drill.Neil Simon thought the tale was important enough to put on the silver screen, much like the Coen brothers later turned to the Book of Job: that old, classic tragedy destined to repeat itself throughout human history (a serious man - check it out.. no really watch it).Courtney and Larkin have thoughts, and you should listen, for they are the truth-tellers of our age.Dive into the OMFG backlog for our review of The Heartbreak Kid.#OMFG #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #TheHeartbreakKid #NeilSimon #FilmPodcast #MovieReview #ClassicMovies #DarkComedy

    Sweetgrass (the documentary) and some Backroom Action

    As I sit here writing this, consuming all the Tootsie Rolls from the office break room and considering my options if confronted—probably a lie of some sort—I’m also meditating on the Montana-filmed Sweetgrass, a quiet yet meditative ride near Red Lodge, Montana.Think Brokeback Mountain without the passionate lovemaking.This life of herding sheep in this particular area is coming to an end, and we follow it. What a breath of fresh air to get a non-reductive narrative about the hardships of cowboying. Also, we touch on the 2026 movie Backrooms. Both are great. I suggest watching them back to back.#OMFG #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #MontanaFilm #Sweetgrass #Backrooms #MontanaMovies #FilmPodcast #MoviePodcast #DocumentaryFilm #RedLodgeMontana #WeirdMovies #CowboyCinema

    Broken Arrow - Pump Up the Volume's Sequel

    Thermonuclear missiles have somehow found their way to the sandy floor of one of our most prestigious national parks.Join the OMFG gang as we uncover a mystery that can only be unraveled by the wits of Christian Slater.Actually, it’s an action movie. And actually, there’s no mystery—except why parts of it were filmed in Montana.So grab a chocolate bar, celebrate the majesty of fair food, and remember: corn dogs are good.#OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #OMFGPodcast #BrokenArrow #ChristianSlater #JohnTravolta #MontanaMovies #MoviePodcast #FilmPodcast #ActionMovies #90sMovies #MovieNight #CornDogs #FairFood #MontanaFilm

    The Souvenir Part II with the Blaze and Larkin Richard Matoon

    In The Souvenir Part II, Julie is left reeling after her lover Anthony dies from a drug overdose. Like any good artist, she begins reinterpreting the past through a student film—and, in the process, discovers how many others were affected by Anthony’s addiction and death.Courtney Blazon and Larkin Matoon discuss the film’s twists, emotional fallout, and many layers in this episode of OMFG: Original Montana Film Guide.#TheSouvenirPartII #JoannaHogg #FilmPodcast #MoviePodcast #OMFGPodcast #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #IndieFilm #FilmDiscussion #Cinema #MovieReview

    Do you feel empathy for lost objects? Can you only thrive in the modern era? Do you own a stuffed raccoon?If you said yes to any of these questions, we have a movie + podcast companion for you.

    Edward Yang's YiYi discussion with Courtney and Larkin

    In Edward Yang’s Yi Yi, loneliness, family duty, regret, and the limits of understanding one another drift through the unraveling — and quiet reconnection — of a middle-class Taipei family.Sometimes people can see the same life from different angles and still both be right. That does not always mean someone has to be wrong.Listen in as Larkin and Courtney discuss Yi Yi, share their own thoughts, and uncover possible discoveries along the way.#Yi Yi #Edward Yang #Taiwanese #cinema #Taipei #OMFG #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide

    Invasion USA with a Reverse Rocket in the Tailpipe

    On this OMFG Quickie, Larkin and Josh subject themselves to Invasion U.S.A., a strange Cold War fever dream about what grown men in America apparently wanted to become: karate experts with zero conversational skills, corny one-liners, and weapons that do impossible shit like hit targets without aiming and never run out of bullets.Faceless casual bad guys meet their fates in an insane festival of explosions, bullets, and macho nonsense as we give our final farewell to one of cinema’s great non-charismatic heroes. Invasion U.S.A. is a hoot, and our discussion is worth the ride.#InvasionUSA #ChuckNorris #CannonFilms #80sAction #ColdWarCinema #ActionMovies #CultMovies #BadMovies #VHSAction #MoviePodcast #MontanaPodcast #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #OMFG

    Lefty Brown and the Ballad of Dawson's Creek

    Excelsior, my fellow OMF'ers!In this episode of Original Montana Film Guide, we uncover one of Montana's cinematic gems—or maybe it's more of a crystal. Actually, let's call it a river rock: The Ballad of Lefty Brown.Do we talk about the movie? Absolutely. Do we wander into a few other topics along the way? You betcha.Join us as we explore the story of the ultimate sidekick, a man forced into the spotlight despite every instinct telling him he'd rather stay in the background. We dig into reluctant heroes, friendship, loyalty, aging in the West, and what happens when ordinary people are asked to do extraordinary things.#MontanaMovies #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #OMFGPodcast #TheBalladOfLeftyBrown #BillPullman #MontanaFilm #WesternMovies #IndieFilm #MoviePodcast #FilmDiscussion #Montana #Cinema #MovieReview #PodcastLife #WesternFilm #ReluctantHero #SidekickStory #TreasureState #FilmFans #MovieLovers

    Grave of the Fireflies and the Infinite Sadness

    Is it possible to make a convincing live-action film about children orphaned during the Pacific War, wandering through a devastated landscape? Probably not.That's where Grave of the Fireflies succeeds. Rather than chasing realism through live action, Studio Ghibli delivers one of the most heartbreaking and unforgettable war films ever made through animation.Larkin and Courtney join Josh to discuss the film's emotional power, its portrayal of survival, loss, and childhood, and why this animated masterpiece remains as devastating today as when it was released.It's an OMFG Quickie you'll never forget.Watch this movie.#GraveOfTheFireflies #StudioGhibli #Ghibli #WarMovies #Animation #AnimeFilm #MoviePodcast #FilmDiscussion #PacificWar #WorldWarII #IsaoTakahata #JapaneseCinema #MovieReview #FilmPodcast #OMFGPodcast #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #ClassicFilms #AnimatedFilms #MovieRecommendations #HeartbreakingMovies

    Nobody Wins in Fat City

    A fighter probably knows when to get up or stay down — but what happens when you’re fighting yourself? The match could last forever or end in a minute. It’s all duration, endurance, bad decisions, and smashing your own face with a bottle of Black Velvet while chasing some version of “the good life.” Hell yeah, baby. Get out there and be somebody.The OMFG crew (Original Montana Film Guide) took a little sabbatical from happiness this week to visit Fat City — a film about addiction to time, chemicals, lost dreams, bad apartments, strange tenderness, and loving the end of the world anyway.God doesn’t really live in Fat City. What you get instead is fleeting grace: late-night diners, washed-up fighters, cheap bars, and the quiet dignity of one broken person helping another survive the night. Maybe that’s enough.I’m making it sound dreary, but honestly? Hang out with us. We all float down here.#FatCity #JohnHuston #OMFG #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #MoviePodcast #CriterionCollection #1970sCinema #BoxingMovies #CharacterStudy #AmericanCinema #CultFilm #FilmPodcast #Missoula #Montana #JeffBridges #StacyKeach #NeoNoir #WorkingClassCinema #CinemaStudies #LateNightMovies

    Five Hours of Communism and Horniness: 1900

    Welcome back to the nest, my beautiful birdies. Sorry we had to kick you out for a bit, but you know mom and dad needed some special time.What’s that? You’ve got five hours to kill? Hmmm… have you considered watching a sweeping anti-fascist Italian epic? Better yet — how about listening to us talk about it so you can decide if you’re emotionally prepared first?Join the OMFG (Original Montana Film Guide) crew — specifically Courtney Blazon and Larkin Matoon, our designated foreign correspondents — as we descend into the sweaty, operatic chaos of 1900.Friendship, fascism, labor uprisings, rich weirdos, peasant revolutions, and one of the most “they absolutely do not make movies like this anymore” films ever created.God bless your hearts, and don’t let the forest floor come up to greet you.#OMFGPodcast #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #1900 #BernardoBertolucci #RobertDeNiro #CriterionCollection #ForeignFilms #MoviePodcast #MontanaPodcast #FilmDiscussion #CultCinema #AntiFascistCinema #ItalianCinema #ArtHouseFilm #MovieNerds #Missoula #PodcastLife

    The Climb and it's elevated yet not too heavy material

    Mike and Kyle are old buds — fixtures in each other’s lives — and like everything in life, their friendship moves through peaks and valleys. In The Climb, they take us on a ride through quiet yet eerie emotional terrain, in a film that Larkin felt was important for the OMFG crew to experience. Safe to say the OMFG (Original Montana Film Guide) warrior gang enjoyed it a great deal.Join us as we discuss whether Rembrandt was a one-trick pony, Courtney’s karaoke adventure, Larkin’s thoughts on long-term friendships, and Josh’s deep distrust of garage clutter.#TheClimb #OMFGPodcast #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #Movies #FilmPodcast #IndieFilm #MichaelAngeloCovino #KyleMarvin #FriendshipMovies #CultFilm #MovieDiscussion #MontanaPodcast #Cinema #ArtHouseFilm #PodcastLife

    Livin' on the Edge with early Mads Mikkelsen in Pusher

    Drug-fueled, crime-ridden days chasing the big score.All I wanted was a new Mercedes—lord knows I got it.But there’s always a bigger fish in a small pond… and when you owe that fish money, let’s just say—you’re gonna have to make some bold moves to get square.And speaking of not being squares… the OMFG (Original Montana Film Guide) crew stays mysterious and exotic.In this backlog episode, Daniel sits down with Larkin as they dive into a gritty Pusher adventure starring Mads Mikkelsen. There’s chaos, tension, and just enough dark humor to keep things rolling.A raw, high-stakes ride—and absolutely worth reading the subtitles for.Episode’s live—tap in and let us get that noodle of yours wet.#OMFGPodcast #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #Pusher #MadsMikkelsen #CrimeFilms #CultCinema #IndieFilm #MoviePodcast #FilmDiscussion #ForeignFilms #SubtitlesWorthIt #DarkCinema #PodcastLife #MontanaCreators

    River Phoenix and the Whale of Hollywood

    River Phoenix was so young—man, what could’ve been. On a long enough timeline, maybe he ends up in some questionable projects… or worse, an experimental playwright film where everyone just riffs their lines into oblivion.Hollywood’s a seductive whale—swallowing ships and spitting out shimmering debris. Beautiful, chaotic wreckage glistening in the moonlight.This week, OMFG (Original Montana Film Guide) dives into those waters with another Sam Shepard-penned film—where bad decisions stack up and consequences come knocking.It’s a 1994 line in the sand:On one side, tight, gritty 90-minute films.On the other, bloated 3-hour slogs.You already know where we stand… but which side are you on?Grab a dog, hang out with us, and let’s get into it.#OMFGPodcast #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #RiverPhoenix #SamShepard #90sCinema #IndieFilm #FilmPodcast #MovieDiscussion #CultCinema #FilmAnalysis #DarkCinema #NeoNoir #CinemaDebate #BadDecisions #HollywoodStories

    The prequel to John Wick ~ Street Kings

    A Quickies mini episode with Matoon and Quick.In this one, we dive into the chaotic world of Street Kings—where alcoholism is just a minor inconvenience when there are two bodies half-buried in your backyard. Who you gonna call? Keanu… and Captain America, of course.It’s a wild ride from the jump—Man on Fire-level saturation, relentless violence, and some surprisingly fun detective work. Plus, we get “The Game” stepping into a movie role like he’s been there before.Join OMFG (Original Montana Film Guide) as we do some back-alley forensics on a movie that’s equal parts mess and masterpiece.Love it or leave it.#OMFG #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #StreetKings #KeanuReeves #ChrisEvans #TheGame #DirtyCops #CrimeThriller #ActionMovies #MoviePodcast #FilmTalk #MovieNerds #CultCinema #UnderratedMovies #ViolentCinema #ManOnFireVibes #2000sMovies #CopDrama #ForensicsVibes #PodcastLife #MontanaCreators #IndiePodcast #MovieBreakdown #FilmAnalysis #WatchOrSkip #MovieAddicts

    Is Missouri Breaks Marlon Brando's secret masterpiece?

    Sometimes you just have to eat all the butter—even if your cholesterol says otherwise. Marlon Brando, one of the greatest actors of a generation, was no stranger to indulgence. But with greatness comes pressure… and maybe a little cortisol-fueled chaos along the way.And then there’s Jack Nicholson—absolutely at the top of his game in The Missouri Breaks. A strange, sensitive, almost sensual outlaw-farmer type of Jack that somehow works.So the OMFG (Original Montana Film Guide) crew gathered like a bunch of horse thieves at Casa del Rapido and dove into this weird, underrated ‘70s western.Listen to our takeaways—and let us convince you this one’s worth your time.#OMFGPodcast #MontanaFilm #WesternFilms #FilmPodcast #MarlonBrando #JackNicholson #1970sCinema #UnderratedMovies

    Courtney Goes French: Mauvais Sang (Quickies)

    Courtney Blazon is taking a French class—she’s 90% French, after all (and yes, the beret checks out). Her influence has been a great addition to the pod, bringing in a different lens—one that leans into street life, melancholy, chaos, and the strange beauty of being alive, falling in love, and maybe biting someone along the way.Today we’re diving into Mauvais Sang (1986) in a Quickies episode. This shorter format is the brainchild of Larkin Matoon—our resident Mix Master Mike—who spins films from the past like they’re pressed on vinyl. These episodes are short, loose, and a little off our usual structure.So step outside the sanctioned zone with the OMFG (Original Montana Film Guide) crew—and let’s thrive.#OMFGPodcast #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #MauvaisSang #LeosCarax #FrenchCinema #ArtHouseFilm #QuickiesEpisode #FilmPodcast #IndieFilm #CultCinema #MovieDiscussion #PodcastLife #MissoulaCreatives #FilmLovers #UndergroundCinema

    The OMFG (Original Montana Film Guide) crew is at it again, heading down the only road they’ve ever known—cheap thrills, empty threats, and plenty of lost threads. Our special guest, Tony Gregori—professional comic book artist and good bud—joins us for the ride as we peer into Steven Seagal’s widow’s peak and somehow see ourselves staring back.

    Rewatching Stand By Me… It’s Not What You Think

    If you could eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose? Tough call. Unless you’re Courtney Blazon, who would go peanut butter every time.I’m picking ground beef tacos. Larkin is a turkey bacon sandwich guy. Daniel would absolutely demolish fruit pies.The entertainment version of this question always gets me. There’s something mildly terrifying about choosing the same book or movie forever. That might actually be hell. But if I had to choose, Stand by Me is a pretty solid pick. It’s a road movie, a thriller, a coming-of-age story, and it’s packed with enough likable characters that you’re bound to find at least one to connect with.Join OMFG (Original Montana Film Guide) as we discuss low-stakes crime, the long-term effects of seeing a dead body, and Daniel’s history with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.#OMFG #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide #StandByMe #MoviePodcast #FilmPodcast #MovieDiscussion #ComingOfAge #RoadMovie #ThrillerMovies #ClassicMovies #StephenKing #PodcastRecommendation #IndiePodcast #MontanaPodcast #FilmLovers #CinemaTalk #MovieFans #PopCulturePodcast #MovieNerds #PodcastLife

    The Patriot - A Militia led by Jizm

    I’ve always believed talent isn’t just some God-given lightning bolt — it’s built. Hard work and dedication matter.Now, I haven’t personally gone down any random Steven Seagal in Russia YouTube rabbit holes (a friend mentioned it, obviously). But you have to admire the confidence. Not exactly an Olympic specimen, yet somehow he always emerges victorious against a dozen attackers. A true master of… cinematic physics.Meanwhile, in a world that feels increasingly chaotic and corrupt, your friends at OMFG (Original Montana Film Guide) decided to revisit The Patriot — because sometimes you just need a reminder to stand up for your town.In our case? Ennis, Montana.We’ll talk rebellion, questionable heroics, freelancing ne’er-do-wells, civic pride, and maybe even solving COVID with pure brainpower. It’s another rabbit hole episode — and yes, by the end, we might just find hell waiting for us.God bless. Stay curious.

    The Thicket - Cutthroat Bill fights a fainting goat

    It’s hard to get a tan in the winter — especially in the mountainous Old West. Skin toughens, dries out, and starts to map every contour of a hard life. Scars stand out sharper in the cold air. And Old Cutthroat Bill? She’s not afraid to show us her pain — physical or otherwise.Being an outlaw is a tricky business. When companionship comes through kidnapping, gambling, or whatever dirty hustle gets you a clean dopamine hit, you start to understand the desperation of a gray, sun-starved frontier. It’s not like they had antidepressants. Seasonal gloom probably hit a lot of Westerners hard — and the “treatments” weren’t FDA-approved.Anywho… join your friends at OMFG as we watch the Tubi original The Thicket and spiral into conversations about Juliette Lewis, frontal assault tactics, nepotism, church burnings — and not in that order. You’ll be thrilled by our geography detective work, and whatever you do, don’t cross Dinklage. He may just nail your nether parts to a wooden chair.Godspeed, sinners.#PodcastTags#OMFGPodcast#OriginalMontanaFilmGuide#TheThicket#TubiOriginal#WesternFilm#IndieFilm#JulietteLewis#PeterDinklage#MoviePodcast#FilmDiscussion#FrontierStories#OutlawCinema#MontanaPodcast

    Best Movie List of 2025 - Part 2: Bush's and Trees

    I was recently given a telescope by my dad—he didn’t need it anymore, and I was grateful in a way that surprised me. Lately, the cosmos has been quietly working its way into my consciousness. I’ve always loved stars, planets—even space junk—but there’s something especially compelling about encountering objects with their own origin stories, not unlike movies themselves.That feeling carried over into OMFG (Original Montana Film Guide) as we look back at 2025.

    Battlefield Earth – More Edits, Less Audits Please

    A flop isn’t always a bad thing in the movie business. Showgirls bombed on arrival and somehow became one of the most beloved camp classics of all time.Battlefield Earth isn’t so lucky—but it is fascinating.Yes, the dialogue is dull.Yes, the plot barely makes sense.Yes, the leading man has zero charisma.And yes, John Travolta plays his alien overlord like a petulant child throwing a tantrum in platform boots.These are not strengths in traditional entertainment.But what is compelling is the belief system orbiting the film: community, hierarchy, belonging—and if you’re rich enough, congratulations on your ascension to the higher levels. Suddenly, Psychlos and Man-Animals aren’t just sci-fi nonsense; they’re symptoms.So what does any of this have to do with domination, devotion, and a $100 million visual catastrophe?Join OMFG (Original Montana Film Guide) as we deliver a thetan-starred review of Battlefield Earth—and confidently answer absolutely none of these questions.Hosts:Courtney Blazon AKA Myrtle Bubble BlazeLarkin Matoon AKA Johnny "Utah" MnemonicDaniel Mrgan AKA Cosmonaut Linemaker (was exploring space and not on this episode)Producer:Josh Quick AKA 2 Chainz Pella Grant#BattlefieldEarth #CultCinema #SoBadItsGood #CampMovies #SciFiFlops #JohnTravolta #MoviePodcast #FilmAnalysis #OMFGPodcast #CultFilms #MillenniumMadness #BadMovies #MovieReview

    Arrival - Time is a Flat Circle

    Just prior to Christmas, the gang sat down (minus Daniel), joined by guest Violet, and watched Arrival.You remember — back when aliens showed up, taught us something profound, and suddenly humanity found peace? No strife, no genocides, no political upheaval. Just love, understanding, and interstellar wisdom.So… can someone remind me where I parked my flying car?Oooooh — right. It was a blockbuster movie. That makes way more sense.Still, Arrival is an absolute beauty. If you haven’t seen it yet, I strongly recommend watching it before listening to our episode. Denis Villeneuve pulls every trick out of his bag here — a soaring score, excellent effects, gorgeous cinematography, and (of course) a twist sitting right at the core of it all.#Arrival #DenisVilleneuve #SciFiFilm #FirstContact #Time #Language #AmyAdams #JohanJohannsson #FilmDiscussion #OMFG #MoviePodcast

    The Shining - Love Me with a Bear Costume On

    Some say snow is just a shroud on the mountain.Snow—an element that defeats invading armies.Snow—a force that separates creatures from one another.And there you are: isolated with your family, intrusive thoughts, specters, and an impossibly built hotel.Sure, Jack’s a rascal—wandering the halls with a head full of Agent Orange and a growing certainty that the solution to his problems is family annihilation. But there’s a book to be written. And Danny is watching.“Dad… you wouldn’t hurt us, would you?”The Shining remains one of cinema’s great mysteries—a film dense with symbolism, hidden meaning, and unanswered questions, crafted by the meticulous mind of Stanley Kubrick.Join OMFG (Original Montana Film Guide) as we interpret the signs—some of us believers, some agnostic, and some flat-out deniers.Regardless of your spiritual leanings, The Shining is sure to unsettle you… and maybe even open a door to government conspiracy.Godspeed, dear listener.#TheShining#StanleyKubrick#HorrorPodcast#FilmPodcast#MovieAnalysis#PsychologicalHorror#CultClassic#FilmTheory#CinemaDeepDive#Kubrick#HorrorFilms#MoviePodcast#FilmInterpretation#OMFGPodcast#OriginalMontanaFilmGuide

    Showing Up - Tiny Hot Water Bottle for a Pigeon

    Susan Reikhart’s Showing Up is a humdrum heck of a good time. It’s not about art-making so much as the weird, tender, maddening moments in between. Enter Lizzy — a misanthrope fueled by the rage-fire of a thousand suns. She’s a brilliant artist, but the business side of things? Not her medium.She lives in a little space attached to her landlord/frenemy Jo — a whirlwind of vigor, spontaneity, and mild dismissiveness. Michelle Williams (a Kalispell, Montana native!) shows up in this quiet slice of life, delivering a performance that feels lived-in and light-footed.Larkin picked this one because he’s a Reikhart fan; Courtney Murphy brings the perspective of an OCAC alum, the now-defunct art school woven into the film’s DNA. This movie is the opposite of Fast & Furious — as Daniel put it, it should be titled “Slow and Deliberate.”There’s a pigeon stealing the spotlight and a man digging mysterious holes in the background. What more do you need?Join OMFG (Original Montana Film Guide) for another round of moving-picture talk.#ShowingUp#MichelleWilliams#KellyReichardt#IndieFilm#ArtFilm#FilmPodcast#MoviePodcast#FilmDiscussion#UnderstatedCinema#CreativeLife#ArtistsAtWork#MontanaFilm#MontanaArtists#KalispellMT#OMFGPodcast#OriginalMontanaFilmGuide#FilmCommunity#PodcastRecs#FilmLovers

    The River Wild — Marriage reconciliation through cattle-auction robbery.

    The river is a place where you can lose it all — your life, your cooler full of beers, even your sense of modern tech — but it’s also where you can reclaim the life you once had. In this 90s adventure-thriller classic, Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon give peak-era performances as danger hits the water and the family vacation turns into a full-on survival movie.This episode of OMFG (Original Montana Film Guide) takes a deep dive into the film’s hero’s-journey backbone, its wild mix of sign language, dull-but-dutiful wildlife enforcement, city-slicker energy, and smarmy criminals who do not understand vacation etiquette. We talk river stunts, 90s practical effects, Montana energy, and why this movie still hits like a hidden cult classic today.Float downstream with us as we check the trout population, unpack the chaos, and celebrate one of the most unexpectedly heartfelt action movies of the decade. Hijinks are at an all-time high.See you at Lollapalooza ’94 — I’ll be the guy in the Ministry hat.Hosts:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Courtney Blazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AKA DOURtney Blazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daniel Mrgan ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AKA the Croatian Sensation ⁠⁠Larkin Matoon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AKA Lurk in the toonProducer:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Josh Quick⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AKA Jrsh Qrk#TheRiverWild #OMFGPodcast #MontanaMovies #MoviePodcast #FilmPodcast #90sMovies #AdventureMovies #ThrillerMovies #MerylStreep #KevinBacon #MovieNight #CinematicMontana #CultMovies #FilmDeepDive #BehindTheScenes #PracticalEffects #OutdoorMovies #RiverMovies #PodcastCommunity #IndiePodcasts #FilmDiscussion #CinephileLife #MontanaCulture #MovieFans #OriginalMontanaFilmGuide

    Jack Crabb is basically a blank screen we all project onto — a man pulled back and forth through American myth, shaped by odd father figures and the chaos of history.

Others say it’s meaningless.Join us, OMFG (Original Montana Film Guide), and decide for yourself.Hosts:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Courtney Blazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ likes clawfoot bathtubs.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daniel Mrgan ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ likes old people make-up in movies from the 70s. ⁠Larkin Matoon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ this week's thumbnail artist and loves old timey movie rain machines.Producer:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Josh Quick⁠⁠⁠⁠ likes problematic historical figures.#LittleBigMan #MontanaFilm #OMFGPodcast #MontanaMovies #FilmDiscussion #WesternFilm #DustinHoffman #ArthurPenn #1970sCinema #FrontierMyth #AmericanMythology #ClassicFilms #MoviePodcast #Cinephile #FilmNerds #PodcastersOfInstagram #MontanaArts #MissoulaCreatives #IndiePodcasts #MovieAnalysis #FilmCommunity #FilmHistory #WesternMyth #CinemaTalk

    Jimmy P. – Everyone Talks about Him

    This week on OMFG, a show about movies made partially or wholly in Montana, we dive into Jimmy P: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian (2013). It’s a quiet, layered film about a Blackfeet WWII vet (played by Benicio Del Toro) dealing with a mysterious illness after the war—bouts of blindness, disorientation, and a system that doesn’t know how to treat him. Enter a French analyst (Mathieu Amalric) with some unorthodox methods. Together, they uncover a life story shaped by a hard childhood and the constant drag of racism, told through one of the more unusual therapy sessions you’ll see in film.Also—Daniel is back on the pod! Always good to have his voice in the mix as we unravel this lesser-known gem that’s part Western, part psychological drama, and part character study of resilience.Let's be friends:⁠⁠⁠⁠Larkin Matoon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Courtney Blazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daniel Mrgan ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Josh Quick⁠⁠⁠#OMFG #MontanaFilm #JimmyP #BenicioDelToro #MathieuAmalric #FilmPodcast #MontanaMovies #MovieTalk #DanielIsBack
