the Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast

Krissy Lenz, Nathan Blackwell

Booking Overview

A humorous film-commentary show focused on reexamining 1980s movies, typically featuring the two hosts alongside an external guest drawn from podcasting, comedy, or adjacent pop-culture circles. Agencies could credibly pitch filmmakers, film commentators, comedians, and hosts of relevant entertainment podcasts with a strong perspective on 1980s cinema; booking difficulty is low because recent guests are accessible creative professionals and fellow podcasters rather than major celebrities.
