'80s Movie Montage

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.
Jennifer Fisher is a television writer/producer whose credits include Titus, Wanda at Large, The Bill Engvall Show, and Ellen, where she was part of the Emmy Award-winning staff that wrote Ellen’s “coming out” episode, aka The Puppy Episode. She’s had pilot deals with Twentieth Century Fox, NBC/Universal, Touchstone, Warner Bros., Warner Horizons, and has pitched and sold multiple half-hour comedy pilots, with producers including Lisa Kudrow’s Is or Isn’t Entertainment and Zadan and Maron’s Storyline Entertainment. A Los Angeles native, Jennifer received her BA in Film and Television from Cal State University Long Beach. Jennifer teaches TV writing in UCLA’s Professional Program and does private writing consulting and personal coaching. She’s currently working on a feature, a memoir and avoiding as much gluten as humanly possible. You can find her on Instagram @thejenfish.
