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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
