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. 

With special guest Bob Mavity, Anna and Derek chat about Keith David holding his own against a professional wrestler, the surprising acting depths of Roddy Piper and much more during their discussion of John Carpenter's They Live (1988).

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.

As if that was not enough, he has been the singer/guitar player in many bands since the age of 15. A performer at heart he has also acted in numerous plays throughout his career. A self-professed wealth of useless knowledge and with an appetite for all things music and film most who know him keep his number handy for those odd trivia questions that you can't quite put your finger on. Currently, you can hear the latest project he contributed lyrics and vocals for here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZePQUf-El2I&t=3s.
