You have a choice. The real message of Steinbeck’s East of Eden is that it doesn’t matter if you grew up in Bridgeport and came from low means—you can become a senator with just a few moves and James Spader as your buddy.

Join OMFG as we discuss True Colors, a 1991 thriller. It’s not exactly a parable like East of Eden, but there are some biblical narratives in there—and no, I’m not talking about redemption.

This movie was chosen for being filmed for approximately two seconds at Big Sky Ski Resort in Montana, but also because Courtney Blazon and James Spader belong together.

God bless, and make today count.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
