Anna Keizer and Derek Dehanke are the co-hosts of ‘80s Movie Montage. The idea for the podcast came when they realized just how much they talk – a lot – when watching films from their favorite cinematic era. Their wedding theme was “a light nod to the ‘80s,” so there’s that, too. Both hail from the Midwest but have called Los Angeles home for several years now. Anna is a writer who received her B.A. in Film/Video from Columbia College Chicago and M.A. in Film Studies from Chapman University. Her dark comedy short She Had It Coming was an Official Selection of 25 film festivals with several awards won for it among them. Derek is an attorney who also likes movies. It is a point of pride that most of their podcast episodes are longer than the movies they cover.

Daniel Strange first established himself as a unique comedic voice as the Director/Editor of "Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis", and has gone on to a varied career: directing 100+ commercials, writing video games ("Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions"), producing shows ("Written by a Kid", "KISStory"), even giving a presentation about his animated short, "Scary Smash," at Walt Disney Animation.

He's also had essays published in the Los Angeles Times and on StarTrek.com.
