From the kick starter of the Satanic Panic to 2 of the prominent talk show figures of the era, Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Rom Com Roulette: Modern Romance (1981) with Jessica Alsman & Greg McGoon

I’d been kicking around an idea of a Rom Com run of episodes ever since I met Greg McGoon and he became such a staple here. And I thought, why not bring this horror movie trio with Jesscia on to do some. Originally planned as one episode, these discussions went very long, so I made […]

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Inside Out” with Tony Schaab

Things could only come down from last week’s high, but did they have to fall so far. We agree this is the weakest of the bunch so far, but I personally give it kudos for looking like the prototype for the first Fast and the Furious film during an action scene toward the end of […]

Out Now Commentary – Alien Resurrection (1997)

In the course of out now, a majority of the Alien and Predator movies have had commentaries done. The last of the Sigourney Weaver ones to do was Alien Resurrection and it turning 25 in November of 2022 definitely helped it finally check the box off (There were a few months prior where it was […]

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Trust Doesn’t Rust” with Tony Schaab

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “No Big Thing” with Tony Schaab

Here’s an episode that attempts to shake some stuff up. Devon becomes really involved with and a focus of the plot. It’s a bit of a prison thing, corrupt cops and all sorts of stuff.

Tim Burton’s Big Retrospective: Wednesday (2022) with Scott Mendelson

Putting the finishing touches on our Tim Burton retrospective, Scott and I discuss (with spoilers) the smash hit Netflix show Wednesday.

A Muppet Family Christmas (1987) with Pres Maxson

I enjoy doing a special holiday episode to surrender to the season. This year’s episode was actually foreshadowed during the Almost Heroes episode back in February.

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Not A Drop To Drink” with Tony Schaab

Tim Burton’s Big Retrospective: Part Seven with Scott Mendelson

Tim Burton’s Big Retrospective: Part Six with Scott Mendelson & Sabina Graves

Here’s an interesting run on display for this one. And I’m excited we get to share it with show regular Sabina Graves, who returns to take part in the retrospective. Tim Burton sees acclaim in this one, his biggest film ever, doing one for Depp and returning to remake for Disney what once went awry. […]

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Slammin’ Sammy’s Stunt Show Spectacular” with Tony Schaab

Well, that’s a tongue twister of an episode title, isn’t it? This episode offers plenty of car stunts by revolving around a stunt show. This episode is a bit goofy, but we have some fun chatting about it. Notably lacking here is Bonnie, whom we have just met and has already taken an episode off. […]

Tim Burton’s Big Retrospective: Part Five with Scott Mendelson

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Good Day At White Rock” with Tony Schaab

What kind of vehicle can you pit against KITT? Well, how about some motorcycles? Michael takes on some bikers that threaten a small town.

Tim Burton’s Big Retrospective: Part Four with Scott Mendelson

Here we are, our first episode with some ups and downs. It also includes 2 of the biggest highs and a film Brandon calls “Ultimate Burton”. One of the misses is a fascinating one and the other just doesn’t get any better the more you return to it. Another great discussion with Scott and I. […]

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Deadly Maneuvers” with Tony Schaab

While its the third episode aired, there’s a lot of dialogue hints that it may not have been the intended third in order. It’s an interesting mystery/whodunnit type episode that continues to showcase a rather strong action show about a man and his talking car. This episode we show some of our continued surprise and […]

Tim Burton’s Big Retrospective: Part Three with Scott Mendelson

If there’s one thing you know about Scott and I, it’s that we will forever be grateful for and also talk the hell out of Tim Burton and his Batman movies. This episode features a lot of reprises of past recorded conversations, some old jokes and maybe a few new surprises. But, hell…it could be […]

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Knight of the Phoenix” with Tony Schaab

Turning 40 years young this year is a show I fell in love with at the absolute youngest I could have been when it aired (We’re the same age). In this first episode, Tony and I recollect the show and the times of when it first came out. This launch of the show was a […]

Tim Burton’s Big Retrospective: Part Two with Scott Mendelson

Scott and I balance feature films and television here in the second installment of our retrospective.

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Orac” with Steven Schapansky

In this giant-sized finale for Blake’s 7 Series One, Steven and I look over the decently impressive last episode. We also take a look back at the first series as a whole and slightly tease what’s gonna happen going forward on Blake’s 7. Steven will return for Series 2, but I need to catch a […]

TBPS EP075: Out There Halloween Mega Tape (2022) with Troy Brownfield

And here we are. Something I never knew was in the works or “out there” until just a fews weeks or months ago. A sequel to my beloved WNUF Halloween Special. This second addition to the television nostalgia found footage flick of 2013 jumps ahead to the 1990s and parodies the likes of Ricki Lake […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Deliverance” with Steven Schapansky

The penultimate episode of Blake’s 7 series 1 is a bit of putting things into place for the finale, but it does include some Servalan action. We are also hinted at the mysterious Orac… Steven Schapansky from Radio Free Skaro, Lazy Doctor Who and Doctor Who: The Memory Cheats is the Companion for Blake’s 7. […]

WNUF Halloween Special (2013) with Jessica Alsman

If you’ve been following my podcasting adventures, you’ll know I’ve done this movie before as an episode of my previous podcast. Well, in order to get your ready for next week when I discuss the brand new sequel, I thought it would be best to refresh on WNUF Halloween Special and introduce Jessica and you […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Bounty” with Steven Schapansky

Our discussion this episode is a fantastic one that goes on a side discussion of a bigger topic as Steven and I go over some unfortunate misguided racism in old production and how it has been in programs like Blake’s 7 and our beloved Doctor Who. But don’t worry, we do have plenty of fun […]

EP073: Practical Magic (1998) with Greg McGoon

I dig a good left turn on the show. Sure, Practical Magic isn’t a horror film in October, but its story of witches and has a VERY fall feeling. Plus it’s a pretty legitimate cult classic and you know I’m always down for those. Greg leads the charge here as he dives very deeply into […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Breakdown” with Steven Schapansky

This episode stars one of the great legends of British television and film – JULIAN GLOVER! However, you have to wait til the 32 minute mark for him to show up. Steven and I dissect this sluggishly paced and unbalanced episode of the show. Steven Schapansky from Radio Free Skaro, Lazy Doctor Who and Doctor […]

I Know What You Did Last Summer Film Trilogy with Jessica Alsman & Greg McGoon

This is an episode I’ve been wanting to do for quite some time and it went better than I’d even hoped. Greg and Jessica join me for a discussion of not just the first movie, but all 3 I Know What You Did Last Summer movies. We even touch on the 2021 television series at […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Project Avalon” with Steven Schapansky

This episode is one big Star War knock off and we are absolutely here for it. Sabotage! Escape! Shootouts! Deception! It’s all here and we have a lot of fun dissecting, comparing and embracing this “rip off, don’t remake” episode of Blake’s 7! Steven Schapansky from Radio Free Skaro, Lazy Doctor Who and Doctor Who: […]

The House Of The Devil (2009) with Jamie Alvey

Well, it’s been quite some time since we’ve had a normal, straightforward episode of the show. A combination of things happened here. I wanted a little break after working hard on The Summer of 82 at 40 series, I had a vacation the first week of September and then I caught Covid pretty bad from […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Duel” with Steven Schapansky

Travis is back in the fold and we are introduced to a new being called a Mutoid. This planet of one on one to the death episode is filled with good entertainment and intrigue. Steven and I’s conversation on it is a fun one that might sound like we have problems with the episode, but […]

Out Now Commentary – Pinocchio (1940)

We are continuing to leap further back into film history with these commentaries (Wait’ll you see next month!). Pinocchio recently had the live action facelift on Disney+, so we’re going back and looking at the original Walt Disney animated film. A film that bombed upon release and was the studio’s second features following the phenomenon […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Mission To Destiny” with Steven Schapansky

Time for some Agatha Christie in space! Steven and I discuss the murder mystery aboard a starship in this intriguing episode of Blake’s 7. There’s a lot of observations we find here in terms of production and show dynamic that makes for some interesting stuff to chew on. Steven Schapansky from Radio Free Skaro, Lazy […]

Out Now Commentary – Kiss Me Deadly (1955)

Kiss Me Deadly has been on the Out Now bucket list for a while now. We discuss why and then dive into the 1955 noir classic that is quite punk rock for its time and genre. Age has been kind to this stylistic and highly influential pot boiler. It also features the film debut of […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Seek-Locate-Destroy” with Steven Schapansky

NOW we can begin. This episode introduces some firm antagonists and gives a face to the villainous Federation finally. Meet Servalan, played deliciously by the incredible Jacqueline Pearce, who will torment the Liberator crew for seasons to come. Also, her hired assassin Travis enters the fold. Many wonderful lines, line reading and devious schemes come […]

Out Now Commentary – Air Force One (1997)

Wolfgang Petersen recently passed, but we recorded and released this commentary celebrating 25 years of his action summer blockbuster Air Force One prior. The Harrison Ford as president in a Die Hard on a plane flick is a fun one and a good revisit with excellent conversation. In addition to myself, this commentary features Aaron […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “The Web” with Steven Schapansky

Another weird, sort of nothingburger episode. But, it does have Deep Roy in it! Though there are some interesting details to chew on. With this fifth episode, there’s a worry that “Is this all Blake’s 7” is going to be? Luckily, next week things turn around and start to form the show. Steven Schapansky from […]

Out Now Commentary – ET: The Extra Terrestrial (1982)

I’ll be taking a few weeks hiatus following the Summer of ’82 at 40 to recharge. In the meantime, I have a trio of commentaries from Out Now with Aaron & Abe to deliver over the next 3 weeks. The first up is ET, which I did discuss during the Summer of 82 series, but […]

Closing With A Song “Physical” by Olivia Newton-John with Pres Maxson

Okay, okay – THIS is the final send off for The Summer of 82 at 40! We needed a music video to go with this bonus episode. We also needed to add a personality to the series that was there the whole time, but definitely deserved to be helping put the finishing touches on this […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Time Squad” with Steven Schapansky

This episode we introduce the person who makes the 7 in Blake’s 7; CALLY! This is a hodge podge of what feels like 2 separate scripts, one utilizing a typical sci fi trope, the other utilizing a typical British sci fi trop – a rock quarry! There’s not a lot here, but Steven and I […]

The Summer of ‘82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: BONUS EPISODE

It wasn’t over after all! The bonus episode teased and offered throughout the series has come to fruition. We just could end on the lame duck movies we wrapped the summer with last week. So enjoy Scott and I discussing Porky’s The Sword and the Sorcerer and Diner to put the cap on the series […]

Closing With A Song “Even The Nights Are Better” by Air Supply with Jessica Alsman

And this is it. The epilogue/end cap of The Summer of ’82 at 40. And no better person to wrap things up with than my partner in podcast crime, Jessica Alsman. Our final video is a bit of depressing comfort from the kings of such stuff – Air Supply. This was the 5th recording in […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Cygnus Alpha” with Steven Schapansky

Three episodes in to a British science fiction programme and they’ve already played the Brian Blessed card? Blake’s 7 means business! Also appearing here is the super talented and lovely Pamela Salem. Its an episode of trial and error with the ship and religious manipulation on the penal colony of Cygnus Alpha. Shouting to the […]

The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: August 27-29, 1982

August 27-29, 1982: This is it! The grand finale! And unfortunately…we end just as we began – with three crappy flicks. Anyone have a favorite out of The Junkman, Jekyll and Hyde…Together Again! or Homework? Didn’t think so. But you may have a favorite episode of this podcast as we close the books on The […]

Closing With A Song “Abracadabra” by Steve Miller Band with Troy Brownfield

Our last song with Troy on The Summer of ’82 at 40 is another one that took a while to be a big hit. Steve Miller Band is a well known commodity, though I’m not sure much in the way of music videos. Troy and I talk this weird one that is a total relic […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Space Fall” with Steven Schapansky

The show still isn’t quite into formation yet. We’re not quite to the 7. But, we meet Kerr Avon and the ship in this episode. Plus a dynamite guest turn from Leslie Schofield. Steven Schapansky from Radio Free Skaro, Lazy Doctor Who and Doctor Who: The Memory Cheats is the Companion for Blake’s 7. The […]

4K BLUsday: Child’s Play 1-3 4K and Catching Up With Justin Beahm

We interrupt your regularly scheduled week with some good ‘ol home video collector shop talk. The one and only Justin Beahm returns to the show and I’m happy to catch up with him on all the fantastic work he’s been putting out since the last time he appeared on the show. Centered around this week’s […]

The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: August 20-22, 1982

August 20-22, 1982: Scott proclaims our “Worst Episode” of The Summer of ’82 at 40. Only 2 films populate our penultimate episode of the series. Both of them cult classics. Enjoy our discussion on The Beastmaster and Class of 1984. Please consider becoming a patron by going to http://patreon.com/brandonpetersshow The Brandon Peters Show is available […]

Closing With A Song “Vacation” by The Go-Go’s with Jennifer Wreyford

Jennifer Wreyford wraps up summer camp here on The Summer of ’82 at 40 with the lead off single from The Go-Go’s sophomore effort called “Vacation”. Sure, youngins might recognize this as part of Marvel’s Spider-Man Far From Home but The Go-Go’s are far from being well known just from that movie. This coincides with […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “The Way Back” with Steven Schapansky

From one British science fiction show to another – It’s time for Blake’s 7! The show is very “Doctor Who adjacent”. Not only is it created by the father of the Daleks Terry Nation, but many of the people in front of and behind will reign super familiar. Unlike Doctor Who, the show does get […]

The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: August 13-15, 1982

August 13-15, 1982: One last BIG week in the final run of the series has us talking 5 big movies. Well, more like 4. STAR WARS celebrates its fifth anniversary, Tempest drops, teens laugh and teens die in Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3-D, and one of the […]

Closing With A Song “Only The Lonely” by The Motels with Mike Vanderbilt

Mike Vanderbilt wraps up his stint here on The Summer of ’82 at 40 music video series. We discuss The Motels’ “Only the Lonely”. You may ask “Who are The Motels?” Well, look up “Suddenly Last Summer” and you go “Ahhhhh, ok!”. This video was done by the director of Highlander, which I believe we’ve […]

Old Space Show – Doctor Who “Dragonfire” with Tony Schaab

And as quickly as we began, it was over! Dragonfire marks a significant turn in the Sylvester McCoy run as the Seventh Doctor. It most importantly introduces us to his mainstay companion in Ace played by Sophie Aldrea. Ace is an important character that will go on to enrich the idea and writing of a […]

The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: August 6-8, 1982

August 6-8, 1982: Scott proclaims our “Worst Episode” of The Summer of ’82 at 40. The Pirate Movie, a notoriously known stinky flick is on the deck as is Cheech & Chong’s first big whiff with Things Are Tough All Over. All in all it’s just another brick in The Wall as Pink Floyd does […]

Closing With A Song “Hurts So Good” by John Cougar (Mellencamp) with Jessica Alsman

Jessica is back for round 4. This time her and I are getting a bit local. John Mellencamp was born, raised and still lives here in Indiana. When he had his massive breakout in “Hurts So Good” off his American Fool album, he was just John Cougar. Here about his name evolutions as well as […]

Old Space Show – Doctor Who “Delta and the Bannermen” with Tony Schaab

I’ve been teasing that there is one serial this season that “figures it out” in regard to the Seventh Doctor era of Doctor Who. Delta and the Bannermen is that one that discovers and relishes in the hallmarks of what would come in the following 2 seasons. Tony and I discuss a lot of the […]

The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: July 30 – August 1, 1982

July 30 – August 1, 1982: July ends with Chuck Norris in Forced Vengeance, Matt Dillon in his first of 3 S.E. Hinton movie adaptations with Tex, underappreciated teen sex comedy The Last American Virgin and Ron Howard’s big studio debut with Night Shift that saw the breakout of Michael Keaton! Please consider becoming a […]

Closing With A Song “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor with Troy Brownfield

The summer’s biggest song from one of its biggest movies – Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” is here. And our returning champion Troy Brownfied is here to dissect and devour it. Did you know that Stallone originally wanted “Another One Bites the Dust” by Queen for Rocky III? Once rejected, he commissioned Survivor to write […]

Old Space Show – Doctor Who “Paradise Towers” with Tony Schaab

Paradise Towers is a Doctor Who serial that I admire a lot, but doesn’t quite execute very well. Yet, I find myself returning to it more frequently than some I like more (The McCoy era is a very easy rewatch). We go over this one in plenty of detail. Which Kang are you? Tony Schaab […]

The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: July 23-25, 1982

July 23-25, 1982: This is it! ET goes down at the fury of whores! Burt Reynolds & Dolly Parton finally knock down Spielberg with The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Robin Williams stars in a very proto-Forrest Gump film The World According To Garp. Scott Baio bores us with Zapped! And Scott Glenn learns the […]

Closing With A Song “Tainted Love” by Soft Cell with Jennifer Wreyford

Jennifer returns and we talk some “Tainted Love”. I whoops and didn’t realize there was another video for the UK before it hit the states. Jennifer outresearched me and covered it though. This little on big smash was already a hit overseas the previous year before it got here to the states, but the summer […]

Old Space Show – Doctor Who “Time and the Rani” with Tony Schaab

All right – more DOCTOR WHO! But its exciting. We have a brand new Doctor and a brand new era. The final era of the classic series begins here with season 24! Beyond talking Time and the Rani, Tony and I go through great lengths going over the transition from season 23 and 24 and […]

Closing With A Song “Caught Up In You” by 38 Special with Mike Vanderbilt

I kind of took a gamble and guessed Mike Vanderbilt would be a 38 Special guy. And, I was not wrong at all. He’s got a fun load of information on them as well as his thoughts on their style and type. This also serves as a bit of a music video two-fer. There was […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “Up Above The World So High” with Russell McGee

We hit the grand finale of the tv series of Planet of the Apes, which also quite possibly is its very best episode, sending it out on a “high”. Russell and I look at the fantastic villain in this entry as well as reflect on the series and talk about some of its plans moving […]

The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: July 9-11, 1982

Closing With A Song “Don’t You Want Me” by The Human League with Jessica Alsman

Jessica Alsman returns and we have the song that finally knocks off Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder. You all know The Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me”. It’s an interesting, energetic kind of song with nice trade offs and memorable verses with a belting chorus. Oddly enough, while interesting in its own right, the music […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Liberator” with Russell McGee

Apes hits upon a controversial episode during its time that is so far past the point of controversy you probably wouldn’t be able to pick it out. Russell goes over the issue and we dive into this rather more back to standard Apes tv venture. Russell McGee from the Big Finish Productions & WTIU-TV is […]

The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: July 2-4, 1982

July 2-4, 1982: A short listed week here. The only new major release is the Don Bluth animated film, The Secret of NIMH. We have moved last week’s rerelease of Disney’s Bambi to this episode as it not only fills space, but pairs well with the discussion of NIMH. We’ll also be discussing the box […]

Closing With A Song “Love’s Been A Little Bit Hard On Me” by Juice Newton with Troy Brownfield

Juice Newton had been around for quite some time before busting loose with her previous album in 1981 that had such biggies as “Angel of the Morning” and “Queen of Hearts”. “Love’s Been a Little Bit Hard on Me” continued the climb of hits. Troy Brownfield was on assignment for this video. And it showcases […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Cure” with Russell McGee

About The Episode Sondra Locke is maybe the most major guest star we’ve seen in the series. We’ve also hit the fourth episode of a production block of 4 for Russell and I which is a bit loopy and includes a classic story of mine a personal aside. Russell McGee from the Big Finish Productions […]

The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: June 25-27, 1982

June 25-27, 1982: One of the biggest weekends for film geek and genre culture arrives this week. Despite their popularity and legacy, none of them were that well received or did much work at the box office. We have BLADE RUNNER, JOHN CARPENTER’S THE THING, cult classic MEGAFORCE and the always funny Monty Python in […]

LIVE! with The Kinda Nerdy Girls & James T. Wulfgar at PopCon 2022

Running the podcast stage, everything doesn’t go too smoothly all the time. For instance, I had a few shows scheduled to perform that didn’t show up. What happens then? I provide “filler”. And I have some of the best people to help me out with that when I’m at PopCon. What is included in this […]

Closing With A Song “Rosanna” by Toto with Jennifer Wreyford

Jennifer Wreyford is back and we have a gem of a video to talk about. “Rosanna” was unknowingly star-studded and Dirty Dancing heavy when it cast Cynthia Rhodes to star and Patrick Swayze as one of the background dancers in it. The video also has a cool West Side Story vibe to it. Toto’s “Toto […]

LIVE! with Alyson Tabbitha at PopCon 2022

I was allotted the great privilege of getting to share time and speak with cosplay celebrity Alyson Tabbitha on the final day, during the final hours of PopCon 2022! If you’re not familiar with Alyson, you probably don’t realize you already are. Her magnificent work in make-up and costuming has caught the eye of viral […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Tyrant” with Russell McGee

The Tyrant features iconic movie trailer voice Percy Rogrigues in the cast. It also features an excellent behind closed doors episode full of political power plays, lobbying, deceit and an incredible morality moment for our trio of heroes. Russell McGee from the Big Finish Productions & WTIU-TV is the Companion for The Planet of the […]

LIVE! at PopCon 2022 with Jessica Alsman

Jessica Alsman and I returned to PopCon to deliver yet another killer live show once again challenging convention goers to a game of vintage Trivial Pursuit. This Trivial Pursuit was the 20th Anniversary Edition that included questions from 1982-2002. We added a rule like “ask an adult” or “ask a youth”. Wacky prizes were handed […]

The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: June 18-20, 1982

June 18-20, 1982: Annie opens wide and we cover this big old school musical throwback properly. Two big stars do what they do best as Al Pacino stars in a Kramer Vs. Kramer knock off called Author! Author! and Clint Eastwood stars in a stealth Cold War spy thriller Firefox. Can any of them hold […]

Closing With A Song: “Heat of the Moment” by Asia with Mike Vanderbilt

Oh I have been dying to talk about Asia’s “Heat of the Moment ” since The Brandon Peters Show began. And now I find myself in 82, and sure as hell, it’s a hit song during the summer. Mike Vanderbilt is back on board to talk about the song, the video and to hear me […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Interrogation” with Russell McGee

Hollywood legend Beverly Garland graces the ape makeup and steps in for this rather interesting episode of Planet of the Apes. The interrogation portion is the sell of this episode, but the meat of it really comes in introducing us to Galen’s family and the continued excelling in social commentary that it brings. Russell McGee […]

The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: June 11-13, 1982

June 11-13, 1982: We arrive at the summer’s highest profile success story as well as its highest profile bomb. Steven Spielberg’s E.T. – The Extraterrestrial captured the hearts and imagination of the nation. And Grease 2 dropped off the planet almost instantly upon arrival. But, has it been unfairly maligned after 40 years in the […]

Closing With A Song “Don’t Talk To Strangers” by Rick Springfield with Jessica Alsman

Jessica’s second turn at bat comes with the valiant effort by Rick Springfield. His lead single to his album to follow up his mega success with “Jessie’s Girl” just could not reach #1 despite it being in its grasp. “Don’t Talk To Strangers” hung around at #2 for consecutive weeks, unable to dethrone “Ebony & […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Horse Race” with Russell McGee

This Planet of the Apes episode provides some old west spectacle and brings in a pretty experienced director and stars of the time to get it done. While not a lot happens in this one, there’s more to it than meets the eye. Russell McGee from the Big Finish Productions & WTIU-TV is the Companion […]

Out Now Commentary – Top Gun (1986)

We headed into the “danger zone” with the release of Top Gun: Maverick. Taking a look back at the original Tony Scott phenomenon, TOP GUN!

Closing With A Song “The Other Woman” by Ray Parker Jr. with Troy Brownfield

Troy Brownfield completes your roster for the Summer of ’82 at 40 music video series guests. And funny enough, like his first appearance on the show, we are talking about a music video that is very inspired by the Universal Classic Monsters. Ray Parker Jr has a legacy of being known only for the Ghostbusters […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Deception” with Russell McGee

Planet of the Apes seems to be starting to put it all together here with another dynamite episode. This one goes after the KKK in its own Ape way and tells a pretty gripping story revolving around racism and hate crime related violence. Buckle up. This one is a doozy! Russell McGee from the Big […]

The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: May 28-30, 1982

Jennifer Wreyford is guest #3 for the Summer of ’82 at 40 music video series! I’m excited to have her return, and it’s been far too long. Nonetheless, she’s good at these music video episodes and I’m happy to spend a few Fridays over these coming months talking about 80s ones with her. Our first […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Surgeon” with Russell McGee

Russel and I hit a gem of an episode. Planet of the Apes takes the hospital procedural type tv genre and really spins it into something all its own. It’s not just a tired retread as we have seen in episodes past. Russell McGee from the Big Finish Productions & WTIU-TV is the Companion for […]

The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: May 21-23, 1982

May 21-23, 1982: Our third week sees us covering a film that was very tough to find; the Tom Skerritt Death Wish inspired Fighting Back. Steven Martin and Carl Reiner experiment a bit with the goofy and charming Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid. And, one of the most beloved films from the summer, action classic […]

Closing With A Song “Ebony and Ivory” by Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder with Mike Vanderbilt

Of course The Summer of ’82 at 40 wouldn’t be without the great Mike Vanderbilt!

Well, the show is finally tackling some Beatles territory. “Ebony and Ivory” was a humongous […]

Old Space Show: Planet of the Apes Tomorrows Tide

Russell and I admire the nice change of scenery to the episode. We discuss this fishing slavery village our heroes infiltrate. Russell also has a bit of a theory of the potential genesis of the shark props used in this episode as well… Russell McGee from the Big Finish Productions & WTIU-TV is the Companion […]

The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: May 14-16, 1982

May 14-16, 1982: The second week finally sees something resembling a “big summer blockbuster” in the form of Conan: The Barbarian starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Closing With A Song “I Love Rock ‘N Roll” by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts with Jessica Alsman

The Summer of 82 at 40 will also dominate the music video series as we take this pop culture journey. It’ll include familiar faces from the show as we talk about a song from the Casey Kasem top 10 discussed on the show earlier in the week. Jessica Alsman, to the surprise of no one, […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Legacy” with Russell McGee

This episode finally starts trucking some things along and making this series stand out. Not only does it have a young Jackie Earle Haley guest star, but it kind of re-pilots the show with a bit more interesting mission. Russell and I dig into this one with much optimism. Russell McGee from the Big Finish […]

The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: May 7-9

The Summer of ’82 at 40 is a weekly retrospective journey through American pop culture during May, June, July and August of 1982.

Out Now Commentary – Face/Off (1997)

With the release of Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent this month, we are taking a look back at a stone-cold Cage classic. Face/Off was at the height of powers for Nic Cage, John Travolta and John Woo. A fine, big spectacle, high concept, high emotion thrill ride that is one of the most balls to […]

Closing With A Song “Do The Evolution” by Pearl Jam with Jonathan Graves

I had always planned to get to Pearl Jam as they are one of my favorite bands. But, I’d imagined it would be something like “Jeremy”, “Alive” or “Love Boat Captain”. Seeing as things came together with Jonathan Graves being a big animation guy and Pearl Jam having one of the most glorious fully animated […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Trap” with Russell McGee

What happens when ape and man are trapped under the rubble of a desecrated city with no feasible way out? Do they get along? Do they fight to the death? Do we get another that’s not a common science fiction television show trope? Who knows, but Russell McGee and I are here to dissect it! […]

What’s Up, Doc? (1972) at 50 with Jonathan Graves

Another seminal film in the history of the medium turned 50 years old this year as well and isn’t really getting the recognition some others are. Peter Bogdanovich’s What’s Up, Doc? starring Babra Streisand and Ryan O’Neal was the 3rd highest grossing film of 1972. It trailed only The Godfather and The Poseidon Adventure in […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Gladiators” with Russell McGee

We get our first notable guest star here in the form of a young Marc Singer who would go on to break out in The Beastmaster 8 years later. This is a pretty typical generic science fiction TV show plot, but is it any different (or better) when you paint it on the Planet of […]

Announcing THE SUMMER OF ’82 AT 40!

No episode this week, but I’m finally ready to announce the big project I’ve been working on this year. So without further adieu, let me unveil… THE SUMMER OF ’82 AT 40 One of the biggest summer movie seasons of all time turns the same age I did this year and I wanted to take […]

Closing With A Song “The Freshmen” by The Verve Pipe with Greg McGoon

This one came up out of nowhere recently in a side conversation between myself and show regular Aaron Neuwirth. And then…I realized it actually kind of fit Cabaret with that theme of abortion. So, yeah, abortion week on The Brandon Peters Show, i suppose. Greg McGoon is back and we talk about the song, its […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “Escape From Tomorrow” with Russell McGee

This brand new series of Old Space Show is our first “by request” from a listener. And I’m always happy to dive right into The Planet of the Apes, one of my personal favorite media properties of all time. And even more fun to have along with me is one of my finest cohorts, the […]

Cabaret (1972) at 50 with Greg McGoon

Cabaret holds the distinction of taking home the most Academy Awards at a ceremony and not winning Best Picture. It won 8, including major categories like Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography but lost out to The Godfather on the grand prize. Seeing as that film is also turning 50, loads of […]

Closing With A Song “Doctor In Distress” by Who Cares? with Rachel Frend

This is one of the more odd and obscure things covered here in our music video segments. And this comes in between Season 22 and Season 23 of Doctor Who (Before Trial of a Time Lord), but felt the best way to cap off Colin Baker as well as coincidentally landing on April 1st. “Doctor […]

Old Space Show – Doctor Who: “The Trial of a Time Lord” Parts 13 & 14 (The Ultimate Foe) with Rachel Frend

Rachel and I are both quite fond of this two part story, but the road to get to it and the behind the scenes turmoil is just as exciting and just as amusing to discuss. The Ultimate Foe wasn’t what it was supposed to be and its debatable if it wouldn’t have been better than […]

Old Space Show – Doctor Who: “The Trial of a Time Lord” Parts 9-12 (Terror of the Vervoids) with Rachel Frend

Bonnie Langford makes her debut as Mel Bush in the Pip & Jane Baker Agatha Christie homage “Terror of the Vervoids”. It also sees Bond and Avengers icon Honor Blackman grace the time and space of Doctor Who. With production changes, turmoil and all sorts of things going on behind the scenes, companion Mel really […]

Old Space Show – Doctor Who: “The Trial of a Time Lord” Parts 5-8 (Mindwarp) with Rachel Frend

The Trial continues! This time the Valeyard presents a story including Rachel’s favorite – Sil! Yes, send her gifs, memes, photos, clips…she LOVES them! And and Old Space Show favorite guests in this episode, shouting to the balcony, its BRIAN BLESSED! “Mindwarp” features some very cool video effects as well brings an interesting debate on […]

Old Space Show – Doctor Who: “The Trial of a Time Lord” Parts 1-4 (The Mysterious Planet) with Rachel Frend

There are some technicalities abound, but there are some who consider Doctor Who’s 23rd season, “The Trial of a Time Lord”, one long running serial of 14 parts. It’s easily debatable as there are clearly 3 separate serials that stand on their own with a wrap-around. But, to appease both parties of ideals, we are […]

Out Now Commentary – Batman & Robin (1997)

The Batman means it’s time for another Batman commentary on Out Now. And this is a big one as we complete a 10 year journey of doing commentaries for all of the 1990s live action films with Batman & Robin. And let me tell you, we’ve been trying to do Batman and Robin for quite […]

Old Space Show – Space 1999: “The Dorcons” with Jim Dietz

When this episode was originally set to drop, I was only saying farewell to the show Space: 1999. In the most tragic turn of events, it is also where I had to say farewell to my longtime co host of Old Space Show, Jim Dietz. Jim passed away suddenly on Monday, March 7th of 2022, […]

Closing With A Song “I Can’t Take It” by Cheap Trick with Mike Vanderbilt

Mike Vanderbilt is the world’s living expert on Cheap Trick. Knowing this, it was an easy selection for the band for the music video. However, many of the “notable” songs didn’t have much going on in the videos. So I went with “I Can’t Take It”, which is pretty darn good tune on its own, […]

The Transformers: The Movie (1986) with Mike Vanderbilt

Both Mike Vanderbilt’s return and The Transformers: The Movie has been in the works for a LONG time over here on the show. We are busy guys and one thing leads to another. All of a sudden almost 7 months have passed since you were trying to set it up. Well, it’s finally here and […]

Closing With A Song “Mr. Jones” by Counting Crows with Pres Maxson

In addition to the movie this week, Pres had also mentioned wanting to do this particular music video. And I have no objection to discussing Counting Crows. In fact, it was past time to do so. “Mr. Jones” really blew up and immediately grabbed your attention when it landed in 1993. Like nothing else out […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Immunity Syndrome”

With only 1 more episode left, where could Space: 1999 go? Well, a kinda Tony focused episode and a bit of ridiculousness when it comes to some cheapness. Enjoy this penultimate episode of Old Space Show – Space: 1999 as Jim and I bask in the glorious suite they have to put Koenig in to […]

Almost Heroes (2005) with Pres Maxson

While I love to tease, hint, plant easter eggs and whatnot with the show, once in a while a guest might. And I do like to come through on those when I can. Back durin the one year celebration, Pres Maxson welcomed himself on to doing an episode about Almost Heroes. Here we are. Now, […]

Closing With A Song “MMMBop” by Hanson with Jessica Alsman

Hanson took the world by storm with “MMMBop”, building an army of Hansonites to bop the globe with. Jessica Alsman and I take a look back at this infectious little song that no matter how hard you tried, you couldn’t not have it in your head and you’d still easily belt the chorus out today […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Devil’s Planet”

We are winding down now to the final 3 episodes of the show. This is another Space Babes in Outer Space kinda episode, but it’s also a VERY Koenig solo adventure. How does that turn out? You’ll have to see as Jim and I dig into “Devil’s Planet”! And our regular reminder, we are going […]

Out Now Commentary – Sahara (2005) INFO

With the release of Uncharted, we decided to set our sites for another adventure movie that was a hopeful franchise starter from an IP – 2005’s Sahara! Now, funny enough, Scott Mendelson and I are fans of this movie. Aaron Neuwirth, he’s a recent convert, too. Have a listen as we talk about McConaughey for […]

Brought To You By Brandon & Jessica: Vintage Nintendo Commercials

During Old Teen Show: The Heights, listeners made it clear they would like to see Jessica Alsman and I discussing more vintage commercials with regularity. This time we are setting our sites on Video Games, Nintendo (NES) specifically! This was a LOT of fun to reflect on for myself and to LEARN on for Jessica, […]

Closing With A Song “Jedi Rocks” by Sy Snootles & The Max Rebo Band with Aaron Neuwirth

Yes. I save this part of the Star Wars Trilogy: Special Edition discussion for its own segment. This wild addition to Return of the Jedi in 1997 was quite the choice and one I’m not sure many took to. Oddly, while Coruscant appears at the end of the film, this may be a more accurate […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Dorzak”

Maya meets another psychon, but other space babe aliens try to warn her that he’s not the man she once knew. Lots of groovy things this episode; Carter has a crush, Dorzaks has some interesting apparel and a spaceship interior with lovely disco sci fi aesthetic on full display! And our regular reminder, we are […]

The Star Wars Special Edition Trilogy Turns 25 with Aaron Neuwirth

Probably not being roundly celebrated this year is the 25th birthday of The Star Wars Trilogy: Special Edition. This event celebrating the original Star Wars at 20 was a pretty big deal. Beyond the updated special effects, unseen footage and other tinkering, it was the first time many of us were able to actually see […]

Closing With A Song “Teenage Dirtbag” by Wheatus with Troy Brownfield

Wheatus seems an odd choice for a Satanic Panic music video to tie into Monday’s episode. But a closer glance at the genesis of the song’s lyrics and you’ll see it is incredibly relevant to the topic. Troy Brownfield (who has seen Wheatus in concert) rejoins and we go over the song, the video, touch […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Séance Spectre”

This week’s episode of Space: 1999 feels oddly culturally relevant to today. “The Seance Spectre” will remind you of Q’Anon and lots of conspiracy theory nonsense that’s been traveling around the past few years. Its a pretty eye opening and entertaining piece of British Sci-Fi television from the 1970s that feels still sadly relevant today. […]

TBPS EP 063: Products of the Panic: 60 Minutes Takes on Dungeons & Dragons (1985) with Troy Brownfield

Products of the Panic is back for its second installment. This time we look at a 60 minutes segment on the dangers of Dungeons & Dragons that aired in 1985. This irresponsible slampiece tried to prove it was driving children to commit murder or kill themselves. It’s a pretty astounding example of terrible journalism. Crazy […]

Closing With A Song “Yer So Bad” by Tom Petty with Jamie Alvey

It feels weird when I think how long the show has been going on and you are landing on a legend like Tom Petty for the first time, but thus is the beauty of it all. There’s a lot of ground to still cover in the Closing with a Song segment. Sadly the late rock […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Lambda Factory”

I appreciate your understanding on a week of no Old Space Show, but we are back to business this week. And we have a whacky one which Jim points out is capitalizing on the ESP craze that swept the 1970s at this time. While its called “The Lambda Factor”, perhaps the “The Grouchy Factor” may […]

Let’s Scare Jessica To Death (1971) with Jamie Alvey

We are sticking around in the 1970s for a second week in a row here on the show. We are talking about an underseen cult classic horror film, Let’s Scare Jessica To Death. A very stealth vampire film, this one is super moody and a complete feel through its ambiguous narrative. Regular guest Jamie Alvey […]

Closing With A Song “You Might Think” by The Cars with Yancy Berns

We are gonna start 2022 with one of the biggest music videos of all time. The Cars “You Might Think” was a marveling achievement in the art of music video making back in 1984. The ambitious visual stunner went on to be the fist “Best Music Video” winner at the first ever MTV Video Music […]

Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) with Yancy Berns

And I’m back in regular form this week! At least for the time being. Life has been a bit time consuming and exhausting in recent weeks, but I’m doing my best to deliver when I can. I’m happy to have Yancy Berns finally make his debut proper on the show. If you listen to the […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Bringers of Wonder, Parts 1 & 2”

Well, we have a double sized episode for you today as we cover Space:1999’s first 2-part episode where big slimy eye aliens take the disguise of the loved ones of the crew of Moonbase Alpha. Did this need to be 2 episodes? Does it work? We go over that and many other aspects of it […]

Clue: The VCR Mystery Game with Jessica Alsman, Sabina Graves & Greg McGoon

In lieu of my 40th Birthday this week (January 20th), I want to do something a little special for the show this week. So, I’m trying my hand at the world of podcast/YouTube game playing. I have long desired to play Clue: The VCR Mystery Game ever since it came out back in the 80s. […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “A Matter of Balance”

Tony’s brewing habit has been one of the most odd choices to have as a constant character trait on a show that rarely focuses on them. There’s some anti-matter lecturing in this episode, a fish minotaur made from costumes used in the previous 2 episodes, a teen crush gone wrong and some set design that […]

Out Now Commentary – Scream (1996)

With Scream (5) coming out this week, the monthly commentary session cracked into the 1996 original. We take a look at this monumental moment that more or less saved the horror genre at the box office. A movie that has no problem with time capsuling a moment, but more or less holds up swimmingly, we […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Space Warp”

If you feel like this episode reminds you an awful lot of last week’s episode, you’re not alone! Many elements of our previous discussion and detail seep up here in a second week with Fred Freiberger at the helm writing it all. Hurray? And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Beta Cloud”

Ah, another alien boards Moonbase Alpha and causes some hell. Something that happens all too frequently. We begin of two Fred Freiberg written episodes that almost easily reflect one another. And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. Streaming services have them in broadcast order, so […]

Closing With A Song “8 Days of Christmas” by Destiny’s Child with Greg McGoon

Well, its Christmas Eve, so why not bring some holiday cheer? Who better to ring in that joy than Beyonce….and Kelly and Michelle. Its the Destiny’s Child Christmas cheer we all wanted! Greg McGoon rejoins to help close out the year on the show with thoughts on this Destiny’s Child holiday excursion, the whacky video, […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Seed of Destruction”

Science fiction loves the concept of mirror or parallel universes and Space: 1999 becomes no stranger to that in “Seed of Destruction”. Here tells the tale of a mirror Koenig from a mirror asteroid trying to infiltrate Moonbase Alpha. Hopefully nobody will notice the bad “part” of him. And our regular reminder, we are going […]

Last Holiday (2006) with Greg McGoon

We talked about his movie last week and now he’s here to tell us about his new book. Greg McGoon is back for his fourth trip onto the show and tells us all about Once Upon A Fairy Tail, which you can purchase now on Amazon. Greg also brings a holiday fave to the table, […]

Closing With A Song “Truly, Madly, Deeply” by Savage Garden with Danielle Sepulveres

When choosing this video, I honestly forgot just how big of a phenomenon Savage Garden’s “Truly, Madly, Deeply” was. This song was EVERYWHERE in 1997-1998. The duo was pretty popular with their first hit, but this one conquered the entire planet! Danielle Sepulveres returns to share memories of the song, where we were when it […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The AB Chrysalis”

Another week and another solid guest star coming from the Superman franchise. Sarah Douglas graces us in the AB Chrysalis. This episode is my personal favorite of the very wonky and up and down Season 2 thus far! And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. […]

Out Now Commentary – The Matrix Reloaded

The Matrix Resurrections drops in theaters this month and to celebrate the return of a franchise we all love, we turn to complete our commentary series on it (for now) with The Matrix Reloaded. We did an odd order of these starting with Revolutions many moons ago and then the original for its 20th anniversary. […]

An Unexpected Christmas with Danielle Sepulveres

This week’s episode has been planned for quite a while. Show regular Greg McGoon has had a Hallmark movie made based on a script that he penned. And I VERY much wanted to do an episode covering it. The perfect person to join for this discussion is the person who introduced me to Greg – […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Catacombs of the Moon”

We get a pretty big name guest star in this one, as Pamela Stephenson (Superman III, Saturday Night Live), stops in and plays a dying wife who appears in her husband’s fiery visions. This is a double up Barbara Bain episode, so lots of Helena and Tony while Koenig and Maya make some light touches. […]

Brought To You By Brandon & Jessica: 1990s Christmas Commercials

Ask and you shall receive! During Old Teen Show: The Heights, listeners made it clear they would like to see Jessica Alsman and I discussing more vintage commercials with regularity. In October, we gave it a spin and we had a load of fun. So here we are, back doing some Christmas themed commercials. Yes, […]

Closing With A Song “One Week” by Barenaked Ladies with Steven Schapansky

We close the show with “One Week” which spent one week at number one on the charts. The Barenaked Ladies hail from my neighbor to the north, Canada, as does my guest Steven Schapansky of Radio Free Skaro. We talk this wild McG directed video and Steven provides a wonderful perspective on the Barenaked Ladies […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “New Adam, New Eve”

We get a veteran of the Puppet Master franchise here to play God as well as matchmaker in another wacky rendition of Space: 1999’s second season. And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. Streaming services have them in broadcast order, so be careful if you’re […]

This Is Spinal Tap with Steven Schapansky

Being a podcaster, people wonder what I myself listen to in the podcast realm. It’s not much honestly, but one program I never miss an episode of is Radio Free Skaro. Of course that’s no surprise with my Doctor Who fandom, but the show keeps me coming back because of its production value, level headedness […]

Closing With A Song “Informer” by Snow with Geoff Arbuckle

Well, it’s December now and with it comes…Snow! Certainly something you had to be there to believe. “Informer” was a big #1 hit from a white Canadian reggae artist. Yeah, that’s correct. This video is mostly flash, but with Geoff Arbuckle in tow I knew the conversation would fly and be a lot of fun. […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Brian The Brain”

The great Bernard Cribbins lends his voice to an overhead projector robot that puts Koenig and Russell’s love to the test! And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. Streaming services have them in broadcast order, so be careful if you’re going to follow along. We […]

Out Now Commentary – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

Turning 20 years old this month (WOW) is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. We take a look back at the film and discuss our experiences, the books, the filmmakers, the cast and a lot of what makes this film still tick like magic to this day! In addition to myself, this commentary features Aaron […]

2021 Blu-ray Holiday Gift Guide with Geoff Arbuckle

With the great response from this episode last year, plus my passion for collecting Blu-rays, I am doing another Gift Guide episode for Blu-rays. Apologies to the video game and comics & collectibles crowd, but there wasn’t time to get those done this year. Geoff Arbuckle of Film Seizure and B-Movie Enema joins up. He […]

Closing With A Song “Breaking The Law” by Judas Priest with Jim Dietz

Keeping with our Satanic Panic theme going, there’s no better band to focus on than Judas Priest. They actually went on trial for supposed subliminal messaging on their albums causing murders in the 1980s. Insane stuff. We brush on it a bit. “Breaking the Law” is one of their grooviest music videos and it’s so […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Mark Of Archanon”

Caverns on Alpha? People frozen in said caverns? King Tut en vogue for Archanon? Football of Friendship? Yes, we go over these kinds of things in this episode. And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. Streaming services have them in broadcast order, so be careful […]

Products Of The Panic: Hell’s Bells – Dangers of Rock ‘N Roll (1989) with Troy Brownfield, Part Two

We return with part 2 of our Hell’s Bells discussion. Hell’s Bells is a 3 hour documentary that goes after the rock and 80s heavy metal scene as well as just general pop music. It’s available to watch on YouTube or Archive.org. It’s insane to believe that this was made and hear the things said […]

Closing With A Song “Venus” by Bananarama with Troy Brownfield

Wow – It’s been over a month since we did a music video episode! Bananrama was an easy choice as it was featured in the documentary we were discussing on Monday. “Venus” is actually a cover song made even more famous than before with Bananarama. Troy is back to discuss the video. When studying and […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Rules of Luton”

Normally Jim and I are pretty eye to eye on these Space: 1999 episodes. With “The Rules of Luton” we have an episode that has somewhat split us. It’s an episode that is a take on Star Trek as well as Lost In Space. Where do you fall on this one? And our regular reminder, […]

Products Of The Panic: Hell’s Bells – Dangers of Rock ‘N Roll (1989) with Troy Brownfield, PART ONE

Today starts a new recurring segment called “Products of the Panic”. Show regular Troy Brownfield (The Saturday Evening Post) and I will use this series to take a look at some of the media and propaganda created during the height of the Satanic Panic in the 1980s. Troy is very much an expert in the […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Taybor”

Space: 1999’s second season has been a change of pace from the first season, but this episode got really more wild and weird. We get a Brian Blessed like guest star whose attire looks like the regurgitation of 1980s female aimed cartoon programming. Strap in as Jim and I digest it all. And our regular […]

Out Now Commentary – Halloween (2018)

Sure, Halloween was yesterday, but why not one last good scare. The commentary for October on Out Now With Aaron and Abe was 2018’s Halloween that brought back Jamie Lee Curtis and John Carpenter. While I was part of the discussion on Out Now With Aaron & Abe about the film weekend of release, it […]

Tales From The Crypt “Collection Completed” with Michelle Suter-Shoemaker

What a fun week it’s been talking Tales From The Crypt with friends on the show! We close out with the appropriately titled “Collection Completed” featuring the return of Michelle Suter-Shoemaker. Michelle, who is the horror host of sorts for the anthology horror podcast we produce called Don’t Flinch. Feels right to have her here […]

Tales From The Crypt “Lover Come Hack To Me” with Pacing Pete

Some new blood joins on the show as I welcome the other half of the Halloween Never Dies podcast, Pacing Pete! You know his co host Sabina Graves quite well, now enjoy her wonderful counterpart. Pete gives us an update and some changes going on with their show as well as giving his history of […]

Tales From The Crypt “Only Sin Deep” with Danielle Sepulveres

Of course I’d have Danielle Sepulveres return for this. I always enjoy her perspective and insight on damn near anything. We get to discuss a truly interesting gem of the season that features Lea Thompson and the director of Pretty In Pink & Some Kind of Wonderful (her husband, Howard Deutch) teaming up for this […]

Tales From The Crypt “Dig That Cat…He’s Real Gone” with Aaron Neuwirth

I let Aaron Neuwirth have his pick of the litter with these episodes, though I knew when I said I had a Richard Donner one available, he’d go for it. We take a look at one of the most interesting pieces Donner has directed as it feels much more abstract than any of his more […]

Tales From The Crypt “And All Through The House” with Katie Rife

Our week-long look at the remainder of the first season of Tales From The Crypt starts today! And joining for the second episode “And All Through The House” is the person who pitched me this idea earlier this year – The AV Club’s Katie Rife! Katie is a huge EC comics nut and a lover […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Journey To Where”

What an episode title, eh? This one finds the Alphans sort of close to home, yet so far away. There’s material here that feels like it could have been two separate episodes. We divulge in this unique journey (to where) that features Tony as a craft brewing enthusiast. And our regular reminder, we are going […]

Tales From The Crypt “The Man Who Was Death” with Jessica Alsman

For some October fun this year on the show, in addition to the Out Now with Aaron and Abe Horror Specials, we’ll be taking a look at the first season of HBO’s big time horror series Tales From The Crypt! The show featured big time actors, directors and writers coming together for some lovely anthology […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “All That Glisters”

Welp, we have hit a rocky, tough spot here on Space: 1999. “All That Glisters” doesn’t provide much glister, but Jim and I do our best to power through it. This episode was quite a swing and miss from Moonbase Alpha. And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, […]

Brought To You By Brandon & Jessica: Spooky 1980’s TV Ads

Ask and you shall receive! During Old Teen Show: The Heights, listeners made it clear they would like to see Jessica Alsman and I discussing more vintage commercials with regularity. So, here we are, giving it a shot. Since it’s October, we’re doing some Halloween themed ads from the 1980s. Listen along and find the […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “One Moment of Humanity”

The androids are humans! The humans are androids! All sorts of that craziness and also robot sexy times lie ahead in Jim and I’s latest trek to Space: 1999’s second season in “One Moment of Humanity”! And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. Streaming services […]

Closing With A Song “Tonight, Tonight” by Smashing Pumpkins with Pres Maxson

Wow! We made it through the week! As we always do here on The Brandon Peters Show, we close it out with a song…or music video discussion rather! And as I have been doing what I want all week with the movies, here’s a music video and band I’ve been holding onto for a big […]

Sorcerer (1977)

As we land on Sorcerer, we hit a film that is huge to me. This was one of those old films that was “new to me” in 2014. And boy, was I friggin impressed. This film really struck me and I’ve been sort of obsessed with it since. I cannot get enough of Sorcerer. And […]

Sound Of My Voice (2011) with Jamie Alvey

Sound of My Voice was a film that struck me, stuck with me and I continue to think about to this day. A little film that has big ideas and so much to say. These are the types of science fiction movies that impress me so much and the kind I dig and dig and […]

Bucktown (1975) with Audery Lane

Audery Lane is back! She’s always game and ready upon receiving the call to come and guest on the show. I’m lucky to have someone with such talent and great analysis that is excited to be on the show! For this episode, I’m bringing a completely forgotten flick to the table: BUCKTOWN. I didn’t know […]

Blood and Black Lace (1964) with Greg McGoon

Well, we’ve done it! We have completed 1 year of the show and now are moving into YEAR TWO! To mark this occasion, I’m flipping what I did during the first year on its head. For the past year, it has been guests bringing films that are unique favorites to the table and discussing them. […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Exiles”

Jim and I are officially back in the saddle. Moonbase Alpha comes across the plot of Star Trek Into Darkness and a pair of exiled beings that look like professional figure skaters. Plenty of fun, plenty of wacky and plenty of weird in this Space: 1999 adventure. And our regular reminder, we are going through […]

Out Now Commentary – Unforgiven (1992)

I may be taking a week off from the show proper, but HEY – this was fittingly perfect timing as there’s still a movie to talk about. Time for the Out Now Commentary. This month, since Clint Eastwood has a new film out (Cry Macho), and since we hadn’t done a film of his yet, […]

Closing With A Song “Pressure” by Billy Joel with Scott Mendelson

When it comes to artists that consistently went all in and produced provocative, memorable and big theatrical music videos, Billy Joel was one of the tops. Beyond having an incredible assembly of amazing, timeless songs, the man put together a great library of music videos as well. “Pressure” is also one of the bigger, stand […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Metamorph”

Jim Dietz & Space: 1999 are back! We begin the journey on the other side, or back half of the series to see it to complete. Space: 1999’s second season is notorious for a shift and lots of changes and it’s readily apparent right away. It felt good to get back in the saddle with […]

16 Blocks (2006) with Scott Mendelson

We’ve reached the 1 year milestone here on The Brandon Peters Show. Fitting enough, I’ve chosen to bring back the original guest, Forbes’ Scott Mendelson, to cap it all off! Has the show evolved or changed a lot since the first episode dropped? I’m sure it has, but you tell me. Scott and I are […]

Closing With A Song “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC with Jessica Alsman

I’m unleashing a beast. A huge music video. One of the biggest ever. NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye” doesn’t even need to be rewatched to remember every detail of it. The video. The song. They were in constant rotation everywhere. I don’t care how cool or too good for this you think you were…you knew every […]

Old Teen Show: The Heights “The Transformation”

Welp, this is it. We have reached the final episode ever of The Heights. .This one never aired in the United States as it was canceled and lifted from the schedule after the previous episode. Luckily, it aired in another country and somebody recorded it. Jessica and I bid farewell to the band and stay […]

The Heights “Talk To An Angel” SPECIAL EDITION with Jessica Alsman

As fate would have it, right after Jessica and I recorded our finale for Old Teen Show: The Heights, the first episode was uncovered. We were pretty enthused to not only record again so quickly, but to actually get to see where it all started out. We decided to make a week of it all. […]

Closing With A Song “Simple Kind Of Life” by No Doubt with Sabina Graves

I pay close attention to my guests; what they say, things they might drop in passing, social media…la la la. Back when we recorded the “Best Soundtrack Songs of the 90s” episode, I remember Sabina Graves saying that No Doubt was one of her favorites and specifically the Return of Saturn album. So here we […]

Old Teen Show: The Heights “Things That Go Bump In The Night”

The penultimate episode of The Heights and this series! And a bummer because its the last one with regular commercials (More on that next week)! And what an episode because this one is loaded at almost an hour. Enjoy as Hope & Rita go head to head trying to find a job. Stay til the […]

Meet The Robinsons (2007) with Sabina Graves

One of my favorite parts about this show, and having my guests drive the movie choices, is the bounce from week to week. What other movie podcast goes from Friday the 13th to Disney family cartoon one week to the next? This one, that’s what the hell one does. Sabina Graves returns for her third […]

Closing With A Song “This Woman’s Work” by Kate Bush with James Oster

The last time he was on, James Oster told me he’d love to do a Kate Bush music video sometime on the show. Familiar with the name, but not so much with the music, Jimmy gave me some recommendations and I wound up knowing a few tunes but also loving the the songs as well […]

Out Now Commentary – Candyman (1992)

With a brand new take on Candyman upon us, it’s high time to revisit the original, stone cold classic. The Tony Todd starring film is one of my personal all-time favorites and argues to be one of the films that scared me more than any growing up. In addition to myself, this commentary features Aaron […]

Old Teen Show: The Heights “The Wanderer”

Its a weird thing, but I love that The Heights incorporates a local town hustling swindler in Jimmy Bandisi. He’s back with a favor to ask of the band. There’s also some big time heat as Rita’s old flame returns. Jessica and I got it all covered here, as well as more commercials. Jessica Alsman […]

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan with James Oster

During the World Film Project series, we passed by a Friday the 13th! No, I didn’t forget. I didn’t want to interrupt, quickly end or overshadow that run of episodes. And as Jimmy O and I always say…you don’t just have to wait until Friday the 13th to watch, talk about or record episodes of […]

Closing With A Song “The Way I Am” by Ingrid Michaelson with Sharareh Drury

Maybe it’s fandom. Maybe it’s a crush. Maybe it’s admiration. But, whatever, I enjoy the heck out of Ingrid Michaelson, both her music and as a person. I’ve seen her in concert a handful of times and will continue to seek her out and she’s a great entertainer. “The Way I Am” was her breakthrough […]

Old Teen Show: The Heights “Independence Day”

This week sees different members of the Heights signing leases together as Rita & Hope find a place and Lenny moves in with old Stan. Some little dramas sift up in light of this. And yes, folks, there are commercials for Jessica and I to reflect on. Jessica Alsman from the The Bob & Tom […]

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night (2014) with Sharareh Drury

Big caveat here on this week’s third and final entry into this first session of World Film Project. Yes, I’m very aware A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night was shot in California by UK born director Ana Lily Amirpour (who IS of Iranian descent). HOWEVER, please listen in and hear why I am vouching […]

Closing With A Song “I Want To Break Free” by Queen with Sharareh Drury

From my favorite band to Sharareh’s, the show takes us to one of the most iconic bands and frontmen in music history; Queen. “I Want To Break Free” is a landmark video for them and a controversial one only to us prudes in the United States of America. Hear all about it as well as […]

Old Teen Show: The Heights “What Does It Take”

Wow, for a short lived show, it’s exciting that we get to see this Dizzy and Jodi wedding already. We discuss the hijinks as well as marvel at “Who in the hell is this guy?” with Dizzy’s brother. Oh…and MORE commercials talk! Jessica Alsman from the The Bob & Tom Show is the Classmate for […]

Remote Control (1992) with Sharareh Drury

The “World Film Project” enters week 2. To refresh or introduce you to this concept, during these couple weeks on the show, we’ll be spotlighting a film that a country, not necessarily always given the spotlight for their cinematic output, considers one of their classics. Joining me for this adventure will be show regular Sharareh […]

Closing With A Song “Crash Into Me” by Dave Matthews Band with Sharareh Drury

Here’s a moment some of you have been waiting for. Its not really a secret, but Dave Matthews Band is my favorite band. Many who know me have been asking repeatedly for when I would discuss one of their music videos. Here we are. And why the hell not “Crash Into Me”. Don’t worry, this […]

Old Teen Show: The Heights “Splendor In The Past”

It appears that the commercials aren’t going anywhere for a while so OH JOY to that! This is the promised Alex & Rita go to the bone zone episode and Jessica and I have PLENTY to say about that! Jessica Alsman from the The Bob & Tom Show is the Classmate for The Heights. The […]

The Girl With The Red Scarf (1977) with Sharareh Drury

This week begins a 3 week journey into what I’m calling the “World Film Project”. Over the next few weeks we’ll be spotlighting a film that a country, not necessarily always given the spotlight for their cinematic output, considers one of their classics. Joining for this adventure will be show regular Sharareh Drury. Her background […]

Closing With A Song “Vasoline” by Stone Temple Pilots with Danielle Sepulveres

I’m very excited to crack open the can of Stone Temple Pilots here with “Vasoline”. One of my favorite bands from my youth, they really scored big on their second album, Purple. The music video is quite a wickedly stylish one as well. Danielle Sepulveres wanders back to help close this week out. Sure, “Big […]

Old Teen Show: The Heights “No Place Like Home”

Well, well, well. Commercials, we meet again. Jessica and I geek out over the wealth of marketing material encased in the recording of the episode we watched. We also have a healthy conversation on this one that has 3 separate storylines with different pairings of people. Also, prepare yourself for a very lengthy tangent I […]

The Crow (1994) with Danielle Sepulveres

It’s with great excitement that I welcome Danielle Sepulveres back on the show. I rather enjoyed our conversations from her first appearance a lot. Danielle has great stories to tell and experiences to share, and I’m here for all of it. This time around, we’re talking about the 90s grunge classic The Crow. The film […]

Out Now Commentary – Point Break (1991)

An interesting follow up to The Fast and the Furious this month as we now go to the film it knocked off: Point Break. The Kathryn BIgelow action classic turns 30 this month and we look back at how stylish and wonderful her direction is and go over the legacy of the film. In addition […]

Old Teen Show: The Heights “Fear of Heights”

Our first notable guest star stops by The Heights this week and causes a stir with Rita. Hear Jessica endure as I geek out over Jill Shoelen who shakes things up on Episode 6! Jessica Alsman from the The Bob & Tom Show is the Classmate for The Heights. The Brandon Peters Show will return […]

LIVE! at PopCon 2021 with Jessica Alsman

PopCon returned in person this month and it was bigger and more exciting than ever! On the Saturday of the 3-Day event, Jessia Alsman and I recorded/performed the first ever LIVE edition of The Brandon Peters Show! For this episode of the show, we had a competition. Jessica and I would face off in a […]

Closing With A Song “I Need Love” by LL Cool J with Peter Paras

Keeping the 80s hip hop train rolling, we stop on a damn larger than life icon – LL COOL J! A much different guy than we know him now, we travel back to a rather big left turn for the whole genre with a “rap ballad” that met success across all sorts of borders and […]

Old Teen Show: The Heights “Reunion”

Well, this could possibly be one of the funniest episodes of Old Teen or Old Space Show ever recorded. And sadly, the subject matter isn’t funny, but the way the show delivers it…well. Just take a listen. Our predictions last time were way off. But enjoy this banter (An Episode For Dad). Jessica Alsman from […]

Breakin’ (1984) with Peter Paras

You’ve heard him on the commentaries, now get to know Peter Paras a little better here on the show proper. Peter has recently shifted into a newer endeavor of producing video essays on YouTube. His first one was on the film Step Up 2: The Streets. Which is fitting because… He chose a stone cold […]

Closing With A Song “Holy Diver” by Dio with Troy Brownfield

Time to get metal once again! Fitting perfectly with Hawk The Slayer this week, Troy Brownfield and I discuss the sword and sorcery inspired “Holy Diver” from Dio. We also dive into fantasy and metal’s bond to one another and the career of the great Ronnie James Dio. Due to copyright and fair use laws […]

Old Teen Show: The Heights “On The Nickel”

Jessica and I have been taking in The Heights via a streaming platform that everyone uses. And this particular episode happened to have a full recording with commercials intact. So not only do you get to hear us discuss the show, but we totally lose it with our excitement over these vintage marketing gems from […]

Hawk The Slayer (1980) with Troy Brownfield

Troy Brownfield becomes the first guest to return for a third time However, he’s somehow managed to not be on a regular episode proper yet. He was a part of the first roundtable and then appeared during the Holiday Gift Guide series. So now, he’s checking that off his list. He’s brought 80s sword and […]

Closing With A Song “The Warrior'” by Scandal featuring Patty Smyth with Chelsea Christer

Time to rock! Also, time to have some talk about our fondness for GLOW. Chelsea Christer is back and we share our appreciation for this wacky video as well as the love we have for the Netflix TV show for which it served as the flagship track! Due to copyright and fair use laws as […]

Old Teen Show: The Heights “Evil Ways”

This is the episode where if you had suspicions about JT being a complete dick; they are WELL CONFIRMED. We find ourselves in the midst of some juicy young drama in the 3rd episode of the The Heights! And another new song called “Natalie” is…I guess…pretty? Jessica Alsman from the The Bob & Tom Show […]

Out Now Commentary – The Fast & The Furious (2001)

With the Hannibal Lecter commentaries completed, we now set our sights to the 20th anniversary of The Fast & The Furious! With F9 arriving in theaters this week, its time to look back at how far this series has come from its original Point Break with underground street racing has come. In addition to myself, […]

The Rider (2017) with Chelsea Christer

In my journeys on this podcast, I’ve been sharing time with friends old and new and meeting fresh faces along the way. Chelsea Christer was a special one as I found myself in one of my most inspired week’s creatively in both researching, interviewing, recording and doing the promo video “The Decline of Podcast Civilization”. […]

Closing With A Song “You’ll Think Of Me'” by Keith Urban with Greg McGoon

Keith Urban provides a song for How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, but unfortunately that video doesn’t really have much material to sink our teeth into. “You’ll Think Of Me” comes from the same album as that song and has much more of a story and artistic touches to it. Greg McGoon is […]

Old Teen Show: The Heights “A Star Ain’t Nothing But a Ball ‘O Gas”

We finally have a full on episode to discuss with the show. Jessica and I get our first real taste of the heights and our characters in action. Dramas are raised, fun is had, music is played and love is in the air. Really excited by the response to doing this left turn from Old […]

How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days (2003) with Greg McGoon

Nope, not the episode I advertised at the end of last week. My apologies. The World Film Project WILL indeed be happening, but we’ve had a little delay. Thanks for your understanding and interest in that. INSTEAD – Greg McGoon returns and we are tackling a film we both were excited to talk about when […]

Closing With A Song “Sunglasses at Night'” by Corey Hart with James Oster

People talk about the 1980s and “The Coreys” ; they are usually just referring to a pair of fellas. However, I argue there are 3. Corey Hart was a Canadian phenom that burst onto the scene with the synth soaked anthem “Sunglasses at Night”. This music video is just as goofy as the song, but […]

Old Teen Show: The Heights “Talk To An Angel”

Well, this is a left turn, yes? No space or time travel here. Just rock and angst. Welcome aboard an obscure show in the shadow of Beverly Hills 90210 in the 1990s. The grunge infused The Heights couldn’t pull off the magic that Melrose Place did. But it did manage a #1 hit song. Unfortunately, […]

The Haunting (1963) with James Oster

Thank you so much for coming back after I took a week off! Did you miss me? I missed you. Let’s get back to business shall we? James Oster aka “Jimmy O” returns to the show. This is the first time I’ve ever had him on one of my programs to talk about something that […]

Closing With A Song “Only Wanna Be With You” by Hootie & The Blowfish with Carl Doninger

In the history of music, there are always songs you got entirely sick of. Overplayed to hell, can’t avoid it no matter where you go or what you’re listening to. It was a lot worse back in the day when you had radio stations and music videos that would just go nonstop. One of the […]

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap “Play It Again, Seymour”

After a week off, Old Space Show: Quantum Leap is back to complete its first season! In the finale, Tony & I discuss the Bogart-themed mystery. We also give a reflection on the series as a whole. Stay to the end for a tease of the left field direction I’m about to embark on next! […]

Breaking Away (1979) with Carl Doninger

Carl Doninger is the guy behind one of my favorite events of the summer, the year, the city I live in: POPCORN! Yes, you’ve heard much about this convention on the show throughout its existence. And well, that’s because it’s important to me and so many others. You’ll get to learn all about this year’s […]

Closing With A Song “Slippin'” by DMX with Sharai Bohannon

Since I schedule, plan far ahead and also try and find appropriate material that my guests are familiar or comfortable with talking about when it comes to these music video episodes, I haven’t been able to touch on the late, great DMX since his passing. In my late teens, early 20s, I was quite a […]

Out Now Commentary – Hannibal Rising (2007)

The monthly commentary series for Out Now with Aaron & Abe concludes its journey through the cinematic adaptations of the Thomas Harris novels surrounding Hannibal Lecter. We go out on a high, with the film everyone has been eagerly awaiting us to cover! This is the best and most favoritest one of them all, yes? […]

The Meteor Man (2003) with Sharai Bohannon

I found my guest, Sharai Bohannon, very recently through a toxic scenario she exposed over the Twitter universe. While that was the reason I found her to connect, she’s a person who has SO MUCH to offer. Even beyond her very fun horror podcast, A Nightmare On Fierce Street. Sharai has lots of talents and […]

Closing With A Song “Sweet Surrender” by Sarah McLachlan with Scott Mendelson

Here’s a little fun fact, returning guest Scott Mendelson is a big Sarah McLachlan fan! I specifically picked this week’s music video out with him in mind. And it was a more difficult task as Sarah McLachlan doesn’t quite sink her teeth into deep music videos too much. “Sweet Surrender” is easily her most interesting […]

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap “The Camikazi Kid”

The show follows up last week with another pretty deep topical episode that deals with spousal abuse. Look out also for a pre-90210 Jason Priestly, Robert Costanzo and Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood’s Kevin Spirtas! Tony Schaab from the Sciencefiction.com is the Companion for Quantum Leap. The Brandon Peters Show will return […]

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) with Scott Mendelson

My original guest for the show, Forbes writer Scott Mendelson returns for the first time proper (AKA not a commentary track). And while not a “favorite” film per se, the second Angelina Tomb Raider adventure has had a significant resonance in his lingo if you’re a follower of his box office reporting. Scott coined the […]

Closing With A Song “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred with Stephanie Crawford

Yes. I’m going here. This is one of the staple songs from the 1990s. And one of the craziest and absurd songs to become a phenomenon. Everybody knows it. Everybody possibly knows where they were and what the first time they ever heard “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred. Stephanie Crawford returns and we […]

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap “The Color Of Truth”

We have reached one of the pinnacle episodes of the show in “The Color of Truth”. This is certainly Quantum Leap displaying how powerful, inspired and flat out great television it could be. Tony and I have a fantastic conversation revolving around this episode’s topic of civil rights and racial injustices. Tony Schaab from the […]

Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) with Stephanie Crawford

The great Stephanie Crawford returns! Her first time on the show proper. If you remember, she was on the Holiday Gift Guide episode before. And don’t worry, we know you loved us discussing Blu-rays. I have a follow up to last week’s Warner Archive discussion, where we pore over a new piece of information regarding […]

Closing With A Song “Shame” by Stabbing Westward with Reyna Cervantes

And we’ve gotten to a very “one for me” music video. I was pretty big on what is now an obscure 90s industrial band called Stabbing Westward. They had a sound that really lent it to sounding like the perfect music for movie trailers. Some of theirs would be. “Shame” is a really awesome music […]

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap “Double Identity”

Tony and Brandon try best not to sleep with the fishes, see? Quantum Leap cribs from one of cinema’s greatest subgenres – the gangster film! Enjoy our analysis of the episode “Double Identity”. Tony Schaab from the Sciencefiction.com is the Companion for Quantum Leap. The Brandon Peters Show will return Friday (4/30) to close with […]

Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls (1970) with Reyna Cervantes

Did you know that film critic icon Robert Ebert once wrote a film? And that it’s one of the most highly regarded, wild and crazy, Russ Meyer cult films? Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is his satirical masterpiece he provided to the world of film. And it is quite a crazy midnight movie kind […]

Closing With A Song “Violet” by Hole with David Kronmiller

Time to talk some grunge! Courtney Love was a big figurehead of the female rock scene in the 1990s. A controversial one at that and had a legendary partnership with that of Kurt Cobain. “Violet” was the song that personally was my gateway into being a fan of her band Hole. David Kronmiller joins again […]

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap “How The Tess Was Won”

Sam takes to the farms as he finds himself in the role of veterinarian caught in the midst of a cowboy challenge for the love of the landowner’s inheritance. This episode introduces some tropes for the series and takes a few interesting turns, including a bit of a surprise ending. Tony Schaab from the Sciencefiction.com […]

Out Now Commentary – Red Dragon (2002)

The monthly commentary series for Out Now with Aaron & Abe continues its journey through the cinematic adaptations of the Thomas Harris novels surrounding Hannibal Lecter. We now get to the same story we started with in a polished new form in that of Red Dragon. How does the Brett Ratner film hold itself to […]

Moxie (2021) with David Kronmiller

David Kronmiller is a longtime friend of mine from those fabled days you’ve heard on this show about DVD and Blu-ray quality control. David it was actually one of the people in that field the longest when I’d met him and a person I’d spent many of late evenings testing and reporting on discs with. […]

Closing With A Song “Holding Out For A Hero” by Bonnie Tyler

Aw, not “Total Eclipse of the Heart”, Brandon? We’ll get there, folks. Don’t work, this Bonnie Tyler video is equally weird, baffling and not what you’d expect when hearing the song or seeing how its been incorporated into movies. It has nothing to do with footloose and I’m not sure the old west comes to […]

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap “The Right Hand Of God”

“Oh boy” and “Yo Adrian” become synonymous when Sam Beckett finds himself in a boxing scenario. Early on it becomes apparent that the show is willing to reflect popular films in coming up with its plots. Tony and I receive our first taste of this type of Leap in “The Right Hand Of God”, which […]

The Losers (2010) with KJ

It’s been just a small bit of an adventure for KJ and I to line up our schedules to make this episode finally come to light. As early as last year, I’d reached out for her to come on. Now we are here and you can enjoy her discussing all the nifty stuff she does […]

Closing With A Song: “Intergalactic” by Beastie Boys

Cleansing my palate after countrying it up for a week, we spin right over to Beastie Boys. And what a perfect video to pair with doing a Godzilla movie on Monday than the Kaiju inspired “Intergalactic”. This video rules and we are here for every second of it. Aaron Neuwirth returns and is a huge […]

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap “Star-Crossed”

The second episode of Quantum Leap has some interesting turns and agendas regarding the series challenges and rules. And it also guest stars my favorite Lois Lane, Teri Hatcher. The show continues to impress and we are here to chat it all up. Tony Schaab from the Sciencefiction.com is the Companion for Quantum Leap. The […]

Shin Godzilla (2016) with Aaron Neuwirth

Enjoy Godzilla Vs Kong over the last week? I did! I’m following that movie up with a discussion on the 2016 Toho refresh, Shin Godzilla. Not only is it a fresh take on the series that has 30+ entries, it’s also one of the best Godzilla films ever made. Perhaps the best since the original. […]

Closing With A Song: “The Thunder Rolls” by Garth Brooks

Yup, I’ve gone country! No need to discriminate. All genres made music videos good and bad. Garth Brooks was one of the biggest artists of the 90s and this might be his most significant contribution to the art form. I’d been holding on to this one until the right guest came around, and Mike Vanderbilt […]

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap “Genesis”

We begin again on Old Space Show. Quantum Leap is one of my all time favorite shows in the history of television. A historical anthology drama with a science fiction twist was one of the most endearing and impressive shows. The first season is short and still finding its way and is quite interesting upon […]

Bobbie Jo And The Outlaw (1976) with Mike Vanderbilt

Mike Vanderbilt is back! After meeting on the Jason Goes To Hell Episode last year, I knew I’d be bringing him back regularly. I really enjoy discussing films, film history and research and we are on a pretty strong wavelength in that regard. Plus, his knowledge and bravado impresses me and I hope you as […]

Closing With A Song: “Love Is A Battlefield” by Pat Benatar

This felt like a good one to stick with Buffy. Pat Benatar herself was a badass and she also delivered a lot of pretty cool music videos. The pinnacle of them would be “Love Is A Battlefield”, easily. This one tells a story and has a bit of goofiness to it as well. Oh, and […]

Old Space Show: Doctor Who “Revelation Of The Daleks”

I feel like this series just started, but here we are at the finale of Doctor Who: The Colin Baker Era, Year One. Revelation of the Daleks is one of Colin’s most popular stories and it’s not hard to see why. A bit more dark, violent and adult as well as one of the best […]

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1992) with Jennifer Wreyford

Jennifer Wreyford and I met in a former place of employment and upon first interaction with her, I was immediately captivated and taken with her skill as a speaker, a leader and someone who relatively has a great sense of communication with people. Its no surprise that she’s found a calling in an industry very […]

Closing With A Song: “Shot In The Dark” by Ozzy Osbourne

We haven’t really done much in the way of metal on the music video portion. So let’s go back and do some Ozzy Osbourne. “Shot In The Dark” comes from an album he’d rather soon forget, was that due to some legal issues regarding this song or just not enjoying it? We go over that […]

Old Space Show: Doctor Who “Timelash”

Welp, we had to get here at some point. Timelash is largely considered, voted and judged as being one of the all time worst stories in the entire history of Doctor Who. And…well…we can’t argue much with that. But we sure can take a look at what went wrong, some interesting tid bits it does […]

The Wraith (1986) with Audery Lane

Audery Lane is welcomed back to the show. We have a pretty terrific interview going over the ins, outs, challenges and successes of running film festivals. There are also some details regarding the upcoming PopCon International Film Festival this July that you won’t want to miss. She’s brought the cult classic 1986 film The Wraith […]

Closing With A Song: “Wannabe” by Spice Girls

Spice Girls are finally here. Don’t say I don’t listen to my listeners. “Wannabe” has been one of my most requested music videos to do in the early life of this show. And I kind of waited until the perfect storm to unleash this classic. Jessica Alsman was ripe for Spice Mania growing up and […]

Old Space Show: Doctor Who “The Two Doctors”

From a mult-evil Time Lord story to a multi-Doctor story, The Two Doctors is LOADED. We have multiple Doctors, multiple companions, Sontarans, time travel science, cannibals, Jacqueline Pearce and so much more. It’s a 3-part story as well, shot on location in Spain. So much to talk about, this one runs longer than usual. And […]

Out Now Commentary – Hannibal (2001)

The monthly commentary series for Out Now with Aaron & Abe continues its journey through the cinematic adaptations of the Thomas Harris novels surrounding Hannibal Lecter. Hannibal is this month’s subject. A mega box office success, but rather derided film in its legacy. Perhaps it deserves another look? In addition to myself, this commentary features […]

A League Of Their Own with Jessica Alsman

Jessica Alsman is back! Though you hear her every week on the show, this is her 2nd time as a full fledged guest. She’s also the only guest so far to have talked about a current “new release” film on the show. But now, we delve into one of her favorites and one important to […]

Closing With A Song: “Two Princes” by Spin Doctors

When “Two Princes” arrived, the Spin Doctors were huge. I was stunned in my research to see the album it was on went 5 times platinum. Insane to think, considering they fell off the map quickly after and became kind of a joke to people for a while after. Also, Two Princes = Two Videos. […]

Old Space Show: Doctor Who “The Mark Of The Rani”

This week we are introduced to another diabolical time lord, The Rani! A character meant to be the next big thing, but unfortunately wasn’t used as much as expected. This marks Colin Baker’s Sixth Doctor’s first historical and sees his first crossing of paths with The Master. Pip and Jane Baker make their debut as […]

Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead (1991) with Greg McGoon

Greg McGoon is a wonderful children’s author and all around great personality. He has a pretty extensive background from being candy royalty to theater and a photography which led him to his writing. Greg is also just an all around terrific and passionate person to be able to share time with. This episode’s film discussion […]

Closing With A Song: “Angel of Mine” by Monica

Monica had a huge record with her sophomore album “The Boy Is Mine” which led off on a big duet with her rival Brandy. The second single was, oddly as a I found out, a cover of “Angel of Mine”. It wasn’t a duet, but the video featured the up and coming singer/MTV VJ Tyrese […]

Old Space Show: Doctor Who “Vengeance On Varos”

This week, we meet the aquatic, sluggish nemesis of the Sixth Doctor, SIL. Vengeance on Varos is a pretty grim tale, but one that has had a bit of re-appraisal in the past decade. Going into this series, it marks Brandon’s personal favorite serial featuring Colin Baker as The Doctor. Rachel Frend from the The […]

Absentia (2011) with Jamie Alvey

Jamie Alvey is the first guest on the show that I found through another guest on the show. Back in October, when I recorded with Molly Henery she mentioned to me that she would be doing a live script read for something called the Devil’s Kettle Drama Club (Nice nod to Jennifer’s Body). So I […]

Closing With A Song: “Raspberry Beret” by Prince and the Revolution

Time to finally get to some Prince here on the music video series. I decided to go with something somewhat whacky combined with just a damn fine song. “Raspberry Beret” was the first thing we received from him after “Purple Rain”. The video is very 1980s loud as well fun and eclectic. Returning to analyze […]

Old Space Show: Doctor Who “Attack Of The Cybermen”

From week 1 to week 2 of The Colin Baker Era, Year One, we jump seasons as we now begin Season 22. Doctor Who changed its format to 2-part 45 minute serials instead of the traditional 4-part 24 minute structure. Showrunner John Nathan Turner also opted for a darker tone as well. “Attack of the […]

Out Now Commentary – The Silence Of The Lambs (1991)

The monthly commentary series for Out Now with Aaron & Abe continues its journey through the cinematic adaptations of the Thomas Harris novels surrounding Hannibal Lecter. The Silence of the Lambs is this month’s subject, as we cover the well decorated Oscar winner. In addition to myself, this commentary features Aaron Neuwirth (Out Now host, […]

Lady Snowblood with Katie Rife

I’ve been meaning to have Katie Rife from The A.V. Club onto the show since it started, but alas here we are, half a year into this and BAM – she has arrived. And with an absolutely delicious pick of a movie to boot. Though, I had no doubt in her picking something to bring […]

Closing With A Song: “Regulate” by Warren G & Nate Dogg

For this soundtrack week, why not one of the heaviest rotation videos from MTV, Warren G & Nate Dogg’s “Regulate”. It’s a song and video firmly stored in your brain forever. From the Above The Rim soundtrack, we were all tweaking into a whole new era. Step to this, I dare ya! Joining me for […]

Old Space Show: Doctor Who “The Twin Dilemma”

Welcome to a brand new adventure on Old Space Show! Who begins a Doctor Who podcast with “The Twin Dilemma”? Apparently, that’s me! Colin Baker’s debut as the sixth iteration of The Doctor is notorious for its reputation being one of the worst stories in the show’s history. Continually voted as #1 in the wrong […]

Top 10 Soundtrack Songs of the 90s with Sabina Graves, Michelle Suter-Shoemaker, and David Banks

Movie soundtracks and their evolutions have been a top that has fascinated me. They’ve been a staple of film and pop culture for a long time, hitting a massive turning point in 1977 with the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever headlined by The Bee Gees. The 90s decade was another significant needle mover where they […]

Closing With A Song: “Ready Or Not” by The Fugees

It feels as if right when The Fugees took off, they were no more. As a matter of fact that’s exactly how it played out. They all went solo. “Killing Me Softly” was a phenomenon, but the next music video was extremely influential on the hip hop music video world. “Ready or Not” had a […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Testament of Arkadia”

This is it! The final episode of Season 1 of Space:1999. Old Space Show series 1 is in the books! We have a deluxe sized episode for you as we not only cover the episode, but look back and reflect on season 1 as well as give our TOP 5 episodes. Be sure to stay […]

Persepolis with Sharareh Drury

Sharareh Drury is a person you should be expecting to make regular house calls on The Brandon Peters Show. I’ve long appreciated and admired her work and terrific perspective on the world of film, television and media in general. When planning this podcast out in its early stages, she’s someone who I intended to be […]

Closing With A Song: “Like A Virgin” by Madonna

This is probably the biggest video by the biggest artist that’s been tackled here on The Brandon Peters Show. Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” is considered one of the greatest pop songs ever made and turned her and it into such an icon. I don’t think I really need to spill out details about it. Danielle […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Dragon’s Domain”

Only 1 more episode of Space: 1999’s first season remains. Here in this penultimate journey we have an odd, tentacled monster terrorizing a haunted ship graveyard. We are also introduced to a character we were supposed to have known this whole time and we get to see EARTH for the first time. And our regular […]

Working Girl with Danielle Sepulveres

Danielle Sepulveres isn’t just a great follow on Twitter, she’s a very talented person who has her hand in many different crafts. Her writing for various fields of relationships, health and pop culture is top notch. She’s also been quite involved with HPV and cervical cancer activism. Her show, The Adult Spelling Bee is a […]

Closing With A Song: “Testify” by Rage Against The Machine

I’m not sure there’s been a more perfect pairing on a Friday Music Video episode than this one. It’s a very political week, we talked a political film, my guest is a political filmmaker…yeah, we are gonna do Rage Against The Machine. Returning is the director of Storm Chaser, Gretl Claggett. And wow, did this […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Mission of the Darians”

I celebrate my birthday with an Old Space Show! We are nearing the end of Space: 1999’s first season and they’re pulling out the big guns as Joan Collins guest stars in “Mission of the Darians”. Who are the Darians? What is their Mission? Who is eating who? Let’s talk about it! And our regular […]

Out Now Commentary – Manhunter (1986)

Over on Out Now, the monthly commentary series will be doing a film by film look at the Hannibal Lector movies to kick off the year. We kick off January with Michael Mann’s highly stylistic adaptation of Thomas Harris’ novel Red Dragon, Manhunter from 1986! In addition to myself, this commentary features Aaron Neuwirth (Out […]

The Great Dictator with Gretl Claggett

Welcome to the encore performance of this episode! My laptop had taken on dump on me and lost the original one. But alas, it was recorded again and I think even more rich than before. Thanks to the world being crazy, the conversations political lean seemed to have much more meat on it and became […]

Closing With A Song: “Block Rockin’ Beats” by The Chemical Brothers

I chose “Block Rockin’ Beats” by The Chemical Brothers as I wanted something that sort of fit in with the vibe of music my guest creates. The album it came from was the first techno album I ever bought and the music of The Chemical Brothers is what kind of made me think “Okay, I […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Infernal Machine”

Leo McKern of The Prisoner fame guests on this one. Lots of pretty sets. And new crewmember Winters hops on board in “The Infernal Machine”! And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. Streaming services have them in broadcast order, so be careful if you’re going […]

Wild at Heart with Nate Utesch

Technologically speaking, I am back with an all new laptop to bring you quality episodes of this silly show. And to be quite honest, aside from me not really having the capacity to do a polished edit, I enjoyed last week’s content with Russell McGee quite a bit. This week, my longtime friend Nate Utesch […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Space Brain”

Moonbase Alpha kicks off 2021 on Old Space Show with a good or intergalactic foam party! Space: 1999 features yet another possessed crew member wandering around doing alien tidings, but this time brings both the fun and a super recognizable face. Jim and I begin the final run of season 1 with “Space Brain”. And […]

Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. with Russell McGee

Well, this was not the episode I promised or expected to be leading the charge into 2021…but here we are! Please note that this episode is being released with the raw recorded audio and has not been edited as you’re accustomed to. Russell McGee is a friendship I’ve fortunate to have forged years ago. I […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Troubled Spirit”

The star of none other than Escape From The Bronx shows up here as a planet whisperer of sorts and the ship is haunted by a pizza faced ghost. This is a truly wild ride on alpha, complete with sitar solo accompaniment. Strap in and get ready for some crazy twists and turns. And our […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Last Enemy”

This episode sees the crew of Moonbase Alpha caught in a solar system conflict between a planet of some space vixens from outer space and one led by Mavic Chen himself, Kevin Stoney. This episode features plenty to talk about and we faun over some nifty 1970s science fiction aesthetic. And our regular reminder, we […]

Closing with a Song “Last Christmas” by Wham

There was no way my new show’s first trip around the holidays wasn’t going to touch on Wham!’s “Last Christmas”. Quite possibly the most known Christmas song addition of the 1980s, it comes with a very 80s video companion. Returning is Jen Edds of The Brassy Broadcast Company. And oh my word, did we have […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “War Games”

“War Games” was a thrilling episode for Space: 1999. You’ll be able to notice our excitement right off the bat. This one see some highs for the series and quite possibly enters the conversation for best episode. And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. Streaming […]

Out Now Commentary – The Force Awakens

While there’s not a new Star Wars film this December, we still have The Mandalorian. So why not continue our annual Star Wars commentaries for Out Now? Glad you agree! We are now at Disney’s first theatrical output, 2015’s The Force Awakens! In addition to myself, this commentary features Aaron Neuwirth (Out Now host, We […]

The Star Wars Holiday Special with Jen Edds

Jen Edds is a pal of mine I’ve met through…you guessed it – PODCASTING! Jen is one of the most impressive hosts, producers and business owners locally with her company The Brassy Broadcasting Company. She’s won numerous accolades and awards for her stellar work in the medium. And not to be overlooked, Jen is a […]

Closing With A Song: “I Think We’re Alone Now” by Tiffany

I absolutely adore Tiffany and this was the one that launched her to a rather short brush in mega stardom. This video is one of the most 80s of 80s things you’re ever going to see. Its legacy has long lasted too, even fully inspiring the Robin Sparkles material for How I Met Your Mother […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “End of Eternity”

Another being, monster, possessed thing is loose on the ship…again! Look out med bay, they are likely coming for you! Jim and I head into this episode of Space: 1999 that features one of the stars of Antonioni’s BLOW UP! And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not […]

4K BLUsday 12-15-2020

Plenty of announcements to cover this week 4K and regular Blu-ray, with Criterion announcing a new box set! New releases are a hair light. Lots of February and March titles now have come to light And don’t forget, after listening to go over the YouTube page for the visual representation of the podcast as well […]

Out of Sight with Maxwell Haddad

Maxwell Haddad and I met through podcasting on Out Now with Aaron and Abe. When it comes to cinema and television, he has a beautiful mind regarding his criticism. Many of the best conversations regarding film and television I’ve had in my life have been with Maxwell. My first podcast, the IchaPod CraneCast, was co-hosted […]

Closing With A Song: “I Don’t Want To Wait” by Paula Cole

No, this has nothing to do with Secondhand Lions. It has everything to do with being random and having fun. Paula Cole’s hit “I Don’t Want To Wait” of course became immortalized when it became the opening title jingle for Dawson’s Creek in the 1990s. And yes, we talk about that plenty. Molly Farnsley, creator […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Full Circle”

Jim and I head into the mist and discover – CAVEMEN! This crazy and pretty well scaled episode of Space: 1999 (“The Full Circle”) has us thrilled, giggling and scratching our heads all at the same time. Stun or Kill? That’s the question! And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the […]

4K BLUsday 12/8/2020

Things are obviously winding down a little bit in terms of EXCITING NEW RELEASES ALL THE TIME! as we head into winter and spring. That doesn’t stop us from having some exciting things happening, however! And don’t forget, after listening to go over the YouTube page for the visual representation of the podcast as well […]

Secondhand Lions with Molly Farnsley

Molly Farnsley is another person from PopCon Fort Wayne in 2018 that took the podcast stage that never recorded. She was actually the first person I inquired about coming up to guest on it. Her artwork at her booth easily caught my attention and she seemed a delightful person when conversing for a few moments […]

Closing With A Song: “Adam’s Song” by Blink-182

There was no way getting around doing Blink-182’s “Adam’s Song” this week. Every bit and piece of it was leading to this. Mark Hoppus was in Bleeding Audio. Female director. The Decline of Western Civilization was about punk music. My only hesitation is the song being kind of a bummer, but in turn that led […]

Out Now Commentary – Unstoppable (2010)

Time again for the Out Now Commentary track. This one (for November) is for Tony Scott’s final film Unstoppable. Celebrating its 10th birthday this year and since there’s no Top Gun coming, we decided to cover one of Scott’s films as we never have before. In addition to myself, this commentary features Aaron Neuwirth (Out […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Death’s Other Dominion”

We follow up the big Turkey Day Marathon with a BIG episode that has a BIG guest star in that of thespian legend BRIAN BLESSED (C’mon you know you said it in your head to the back row)! Enjoy this lengthy discussion on what we found to be one of the strongest episodes of Space: […]

4K BLUsday 12-1-2020

With the amount of workload, holidays, blah blah blah, this episode is pretty much loose and off the cuff. My apologies for those of you who like more pro-sounding produced stuff, but it’s better than nothing. This week we have some new slates from Vinegar Syndrome, Arrow, Eureka and Imprint and plenty more to talk. […]

The Decline of Western Civilization with Chelsea Christer

A couple weeks before launching this show, as I was knee deep in preparations, recording, scheduling and a bunch of madness, I somehow found time to squeeze in time to review an indie rock documentary called Bleeding Audio. The story of the band The Matches has wound up becoming one of my favorite films in […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Collision Course”

We close down the Old Space Show Turkey Day Marathon with “Collision Course”. This one offers more of that weird 2001-inspired type story many of these end up having. A fun aside, while some inserts have been placed, this was actually the 5th episode we recorded for this series back in September. And our regular […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Voyager’s Return”

Our Old Space Show Turkey Day Marathon CONTINUES! A satellite for Earth is in the deep reaches of space preaching peace and offering destruction. Its creator happens to secretly be on board Moonbase Alpha and some aliens come by seeking an eye for an eye for planets destroyed by Voyager. And our regular reminder, we […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Last Sunset”

The Old Space Show Turkey Day Marathon CONTINUES! The crew of Moonbase Alpha witnesses their first sunrise and bit of rain in ages as they start having a beach party and Paul discovers shrooms. It’s as fun as it sounds! And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Alpha Child”

Our Old Space Show Turkey Day Marathon BEGINS! Starting today, you’ll receive a new Old Space Show episode every day of the holiday weekend. 4 in total! We begin with Space: 1999’s “Alpha Child”. Another big swing on the guest star, as British legend Julian Glover (If you don’t know him, you SHOULD!) stops by […]

Holiday Gift Guide – Figures, Comics & Books with Troy Brownfield

This week, we shift our gears on the show for an idea I had around launch. As an avid Black Friday Blu-ray shopping enthusiast and someone who is a bit specific in my interests when it comes to buying gifts for during the holiday season, I thought it would be cool to have some episodes […]

Holiday Gift Guide: Blu-rays with Stephanie Crawford

Holiday Gift Guide – Games with Nick Rust

Closing With A Song: “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette

There were few (If any) bigger albums in the 1990s than Alanis Morissette’s juggernaut, Jagged Little Pill. Her single “Ironic” was also one of the most decorated and talked about videos from the album, having its share of Grammy appreciation and the all too sought after VMA accolades. “Ironic” found itself with heavy play and […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Force of Life”

Another big guest star boards Moonbase Alpha…or more rather was already there. Ian McShane is possessed by some space beam and winds up becoming some sort of energy vampire in search of the ship’s nuke collection. Yes, that’s what this episode entails! And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production […]

4K BLUsday 11/17/2020

Plenty to announce this week, including Criterion’s February slate, Kino picking up some old Twilight Time classics and Arrow giving a 4K finger to another studio! Lots of fun, lots of gearing up for the big holiday season. This will be the last regular 4K BLUsday installment for 2 weeks, as I have something special […]

The Day Of The Jackal with Pres Maxson

I met Pres Maxson at PopCon Fort Wayne back in late December of 2018. Running a live podcast stage with nary a podcast to sign up for, I had to fill it with content and went looking around the convention for talent interested in discussing their work on stage.Pres was more than obliging. Needless to […]

Jason Goes To Hell (Friday the 13th Bonus)

Did you think Friday the 13th would land and I WOULDN’T do an episode? James Oster (Joblo.com, Sounds Scary) pick up where Cult Cinema Cavalcade left off and continue the march through the Friday the 13th franchise. This time around comes the controversial Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday. The one where people complain […]

Closing With A Song: “Heartbeat” by Don Johnson

No, the song has nothing to do with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. But, I wasn’t choosing any other video for my guest. Did you know during his Miami Vice years, Don Johnson recorded an album? Did you also know he made on of the most overdone, ridiculous music videos for it? If […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Guardian of Piri”

Everybody is lured into a false sense of happiness in the latest adventure with Moonbase Alpha. And Jon Koenig is going to put an end to it! This episode also gives us a guest that bumps to regular status for Series 2. And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production […]

4K BLUsday 11/10/2020

Right up to recording this episode, big announcements were coming in. And leave it to Germany to drop some really cool 4K UHD titles “coming soon”. Many full slates are released and Severin slowly reveals to us their secret Black Friday titles. All that and more this week. And don’t forget, after listening to go […]

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly with John Rocha

John Rocha is one of the most treasured friendships I’ve made in this journey called life. We both worked in DVD Quality Control as I’d mentioned many times already going through the life of this show. “Johnny” as I’d call him, was the esteemed actor of the group, being the one that had the most […]

Closing With A Song: “Whoomp! (There It Is)” by Tag Team

Taking the nation by storm in 1993 was “Whoomp! (There It Is)”. Still an arena staple for sports, Tag Team was truly one of the most One Hit Wonder of One Hit Wonders. Their only other notable song was a remix of “Whoomp!” for Addams Family Values as a replacement for a Michael Jackson song […]

Out Now Commentary: Psycho (1960)

I’m very excited to be bringing the Out Now With Aaron & Abe monthly film commentary series to The Brandon Peters Show. The commentaries will be released on both programs in the ongoing regular fashion. To close the October Horror Specials, we did a commentary for Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece, Psycho. The film turned 60 years […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Missing Link”

First we had Christopher Lee and now two episodes later we get Peter Cushing. Space:1999 is getting the finest picks of the litter sitting in the Hammer Horror studio lobby waiting for work. They paint him gold and dress him like Strawberry Shortcake’s nemesis and we are here for ALL OF IT! And our regular […]

4K BLUsday 11-03-2020

Compared to the past few, this seems a rather tame week. No real huge announcements and the new releases are very regular-ish. Nonetheless, Kino has plenty to talk about and there are some more interesting cult films coming to the tale from the likes of Mondo Macabro and others. This is a more brief episode, […]

Addams Family Values with Sabina Graves

It’s hard to talk about Sabina Graves and not use the word “awesome”. A couple of years ago, she guested on one of the Out Now October Horror Specials to partake in our topic of women directors in horror. Sabina was a total joy to listen to and bounce off of in discussion. When I […]

Closing With A Song: “Living Dead Girl” by Rob Zombie

Halloween is upon us and what better music to celebrate with than Rob Zombie? I’ve long been a fan of his and no matter what, this time of year, Hellbilly Deluxe gets a spin in my car. For this week’s music video, I picked what is probably artistically my favorite of his in the Dr. […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Another Time, Another Place”

While the show takes sets itself in another time, another place, they actually episode called “Another Time, Another Place”. Fitting for a soap opera show name as it is an episode title here, this one flirts with a strong sci-fi concept that while interesting doesn’t fully come together. Nonetheless, plenty of fun for Jim and […]

4K BLUsday 10/27/2020

We’ve got a load of new announcements this week, thanks to many studios unveiling their January slates. Many exciting retread discs coming through as well. The next few weeks sees a bit of a transition from loaded months into a few slower ones, but there’s always still plenty of interesting releases and announcements to discuss. […]

The Fog with Justin Beahm

One of the most important voices in both the horror realm and home video, Justin Beahm is always a pleasure to have a discussion with. His ideals and outlook are always very positive and inspiring. Beahm takes nothing for granted and sees the value in every little corner of creativity. He’s also the head honcho […]

Closing With A Song: “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” by Backstreet Boys

It’s that timeless combo of Classic Monsters and Boy Bands, right? One of the most popular boy band songs from the 1990s and videos was Backstreet Boys “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)”. Stop trying to act too cool. You know it, I know it. It’s hard not to sing or move to it. We actually touched upon […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Earthbound”

Our popular segment takes another journey in Space: 1999 for its fifth episode “Earthbound”. In this episode we get a big guest appearance in the form of god-like human, Sir CHRISTOPHER LEE! Beardo also stumbles out of his space bunk beds to make a showing, too. And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: […]

4K Blusday 10-20-2020

This week, Criterion reveals their January slate, more 4K Ultra-HD excitement from Scream Factory and Blue Underground and plenty more cool stuff on the way. This week sees the release of Back to the Future on 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray and we have a contest going for the standard Blu-ray release of it. Unfortunately, there are […]

Hubie Halloween with Jessica Alsman

Jessica Alsman is one of my favorite people and one of the best to collaborate with, too. Since our first meeting over four years ago, we’ve recorded plenty of hours of content for the earwaves. She’s typically game for whatever I’ve put her through and gives a billion percent every time. When Cult Cinema Cavalcade […]

Closing With A Song: “Hazard” by Richard Marx

“Hazard” by Richard Marx is a music video that came to mind IMMEDIATELY upon the desire to do music video retrospectives as a part of this show. When this video came out, I was but 8 years old, but I found myself quite entrance by it and the pop culture phenomenon of the time of […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Ring Around The Moon”

The runaway hit segment continues on through Space: 1999 for its fourth episode “Ring Around The Moon”. This episode puts Barbara Bain at the center of some 2001 type weirdness. Also Ted Clifford. Have you heard of Ted Clifford? Oh well this episode has Ted Clifford. And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: […]

4K Blusday 10-13-2020

This week, Middle Earth announces its going to take on the 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray format as well as some reminder of the December announcements and we get into January with Kino Lorber. This week sees the historic Friday the 13th Limited Edition box set from Scream Factory, but under its shadows are some nice releases […]

The Bird With The Crystal Plumage with Molly Henery

Molly Henery is a writer whose work and film mentality I’ve admired for a long while now. It was only fitting the show’s first guest I’ve not collaborated with before and first foray into horror be her. She’s a hustler when it comes to writing and covering horror films for film festivals as well as […]

Closing With A Song: “Doing It All For My Baby” by Huey Lewis & The News

When it comes to the week of discussing Back To The Future, you surely discuss “The Power of Love” right? Nah. Check the video out for yourself, its kinda lame in terms of being a discussion starter. Instead, with it being October, let’s use this to shift our gears into a more horror-centric focus for […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Black Sun”

We continue on through Space: 1999 for its third episode “Black Sun”. Another trippy 2001 inspired one. We begin to notice more tropes and find out “Computer” doesn’t always need a Human Decision. Some have asked me where you can find Space: 1999 to watch along. That’s great and it excites me this show is […]

4K BLUsday 10/6/2020

Not as huge a week as we had last week in both the announcements and new releases sections. But, there were still plenty of notables. There is some big Godfather news coming in and some more fun titles we have on the horizon for 4K Ultra-HD. A couple companies release entire month’s slates, while a […]

Back To The Future 1990s Remake

Back to the Future turned 35 years old this year. This movie has been a seminal part of mine and many people’s lives. It’s perfect. Since the day it was released it has been celebrated, discussed, had documentaries, interviews and books produced all about it. What more could a silly podcast add to the discussion […]

Closing With A Song: “Blister In The Sun” by The Violent Femmes

While it would be neat in most weeks to tie the Friday music video to the movie we’re discussing via the soundtrack, it doesn’t always work out so neatly. Many soundtrack videos consist mainly of clips from the film its supporting and nary a unique story to go with the music video. Luckily, with Grosse […]

Out Now Commentary: Seven (1995)

I’m very excited to be bringing the Out Now With Aaron & Abe monthly film commentary series to The Brandon Peters Show. The commentaries will be released on both programs in the ongoing regular fashion. Once a month, in relation to a film coming out in theaters, a film hitting a milestone or perhaps one […]

Old Space Show: Space 1999 “Matter of Life and Death”

With the stage setting first episode behind us, we dig into a meatier episode of Space: 1999 entitled “Matter of Life and Death”. We get to see what a mysterious planet looks like as well as hear some classic hot button 1970s science fiction jargon to boot. I loved the response to this segment last […]

4K BLUsday – 9/29/2020

Thank you to everyone for the enthusiasm for this niche segment here at The Brandon Peters Show. I have real passion for this stuff and I’m glad it’s coming across appropriately. This week was a pretty big one for 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray announcements leading all the way up to Vinegar Syndrome’s big drop. Their first […]

Grosse Pointe Blank with Aaron Neuwirth

My next guest perfectly compliments and follows up with the premiere episode. When I began writing for Mendelson’s Memos, I had a list of things I was hoping to achieve through my film writing. One of which was to guest on a podcast to talk about film and what have you. After my second or […]

Closing With A Song: “Opposites Attract” by Paula Abdul

It feels right to close a weeklong show with a song before the curtain drops. I grew up in the 1980s and 1990s where music videos were a big part of pop culture. Going back and discussing these on a podcast has always been a curiosity of mine and now this show will have a […]

Old Space Show – Space:1999 “Breakaway”

This first series of Old Space Show will be the first Season of Space: 1999. “Old Space Show” is a term I commonly heard growing up when people who weren’t nerds like me would refer to stuff like Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica or the like. Personally, I love diving into genre television from the […]

4K BLUsday – 09/22/2020

4K BLUsday will be a recurring segment for Tuesdays which is the official new release day for 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray and DVDs in the United States. I have a history of working in the field for the medium, reviewing them and having a passion for collection movies dating back to childhood. I wanted […]

Shanghai Knights With Scott Mendelson

Welcome to the premiere of The Brandon Peters Show! When it came to selecting the first guest for The Brandon Peters Show, there was only one person I had in mind. Scott Mendelson and I met the first week after I moved to Los Angeles in late June of 2005. In addition to growing up […]

Introduction

The Brandon Peters Show is a new podcast that will have a variety of content with discussions of film, television, music, interviews, debates, comedy, etc.
