The Brandon Peters Show

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 icon passed a few years back, but he left us with so many great videos to go along with an outstanding vault of undeniably great music...

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 have been more apt for the crew of Alpha. And our regular reminder, we are going thr...

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 has brought the film to the table. We get into a fantastic discussion about a great many as...

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 Awards. Yancy Berns rejoins to talk about the historic video. And unbeknownst to me when...

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 Out Now with Aaron & Abe commentaries, then you’re familiar with him around this show. He’s...

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 on this double wide episode! And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order,...

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. Unfortunately, the adults around me who played deemed me too young to do so. When I was old enough, nobody wante...

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 I wind up swooning over until Jim tells me he’s pretty sure it’s repurpo...

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 have a great conversation on this classic. In addition to myself, this commentary features Aaron Ne...

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 production order, not broadcast order. Streaming services have them in broadcast order...

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 be careful if you’re going to follow along. W...

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, more Brandon Circuit City horror stories and pondering how to judge...

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 through Space: 1999 in the production order, not b...

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, the 2006 remake of Last Holiday starring Queen Latifah. I had not seen the film before this. And, as always with Greg, it wo...

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 came out and of course…get a tad off topic. This song...

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. Streaming services have them in broadcast order, so be careful if you’re goi...

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. Now, we take a look at the very bold and very gonzo sequel that proved a bit divisive in...

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 – Danielle Sepulveres. Danielle and I wade through our enjoyment of the film, but we do frequently go o...

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. And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadca...

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, it’s limited to Christmas, no Hanukkah or other holidays around this time of year. The r...

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 from their roots. This video is mostly flash, but with Geoff Arbuckle in tow I...

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 going to follow along. We are following the order in the Shout!...

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 of the hosts and the more interesting aspects in which it tackles the now 58 year...

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. And it surely is. I think you’re really going to enjoy us trying to m...

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 are following the order in the Shout! Factory Blu-ray set. Ji...
