With special -- and returning! -- guest Owen Croak, Anna and Derek discuss the expectations we have of ourselves at different ages, Ricardo Montalbán proving that age is just a number when it comes to ripped pecs and so much more during their chat about Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982).

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.
Owen Croak is one of those screenwriters who thought he was too responsible to be a “real” writer. Then he had emergency surgery, got fired and decided he’d rather spend his time writing about time-travelers, aliens and superheroes. His work has placed in the 2022 Creative Screenwriting Unique Voices competition and in the Austin Film Festival Script competition. He's also had essays published in the Los Angeles Times and on StarTrek.com.
