The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension

With special -- and returning! -- guest Owen Croak, Anna and Derek celebrate the final episode of season two with discussions of protagonists without character arcs, the morality of dating your dead spouse's twin sister and so much more during their exploration of the cult classic The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984).

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. In addition to being published in the Los Angeles Times, his work has placed in the 2022 Creative Screenwriting Unique Voices competition and in the Austin Film Festival Script competition for the last three years in a row.
