Have you ever been lost in the wilderness, with only a fellow hustler and a brother-father figure to light your way out? Enter Mike — a male prostitute selling his wares in the Northwest United States. His toughest challenge isn’t his profession, but his quest to find love wherever he can.
Join us as we travel the open road with Mike (River Phoenix) and Scott (Keanu Reeves) in Gus Van Sant’s 1991 miracle, My Own Private Idaho. Our journey spans from Portland to Seattle, Idaho to Rome, and back again.
Original Montana Film Guide is a show about movies partially or wholly made in Big Sky Country — and this episode takes a scenic detour “off-road” for a change of scenery, but not too far from home. Artwork by our amazing co-host Courtney Blazon
