A Chorus Line

With special -- and returning! -- guest Andy Smith Peek, Anna and Derek discuss the Zach and Cassie love story no one cares about, Larry as the true star of the film, and much more during their discussion of the catchy musical-turned-movie A Chorus Line (1985).

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.

Andrea (Andy) Smith Peek is a comedy writer/director/producer/actor/donut eater/lover of cheese/improv artiste/sketch enthusiast/human being trying to survive never-ending existential dread. This may explain why she writes dark sci-fi comedies and why she is eating a donut as she writes this. Andy studied writing and film at Vancouver Film School, Writing for TV at UCLA’s Professional Program, Film Production at UCLA’s Summer Program, and studied improv and sketch with The Second City Conservatory, UCB, and The Groundlings. She has performed at Canada’s Just For Laughs Festival and won a Telus Storyhive grant to produce and direct her short film Married & Isolated, as well as the pilot of her web series See Through Daddy. Her new content creation outlet is character comedy on TikTok: @AndysCharacters. On Dec 10 2018 she won the showcase showdown on The Price is Right, no joke! She worked as an assistant on A&E’s Ruby Laundry Series and as a script/clearances coordinator on Netflix’s Emmy-nominated MAID. She currently lives in Victoria, BC and working as a drama teacher for middle school students who make her laugh every day!
