The Brandon Peters Show

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 Neuwirth (Out Now host, We Live Entertainment), Scott Mendelson (Forbes) and Yancy Berns (Milk...

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 and I have spent many a Vinegar Syndrome and Severin sale sharing our...

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 very metal. Jim Dietz (Nothing’s On), my Old Space Show Co...

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 if you’re going to follow along. We are following the order in the...

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 in it. And Troy and I do not hold back on our reactions and thoughts. This half o...

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 writing for this video I went down a listening hole and found myself really l...

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, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. Streaming services have them in...

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 field and we’ve discussed it on more than one occasion. Our first subject is a 3 h...

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 reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. St...

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 was great to go back and revisit and talk about it with 3 years of age under its belt. In ad...

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 to close out. This episode comes from Mary...

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 watching growing up. We discuss a very interesting, very adult, very HBO episode of t...

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 tale of vanity and murder. This one truly feels tied to a type that only Tal...

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 workman-like directed film career. It also has Joey Pants and him dying lots and lots of times. -Brandon The Brandon Pe...

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 of all things killer Santa Claus. We have a blast going over the Robert Zemeckis directed, F...

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 through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. Streaming services h...

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 horror. The show even spun off into a kids’ Saturday morning cartoon and wound...

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, not broadcast order. Streaming services have them in broadcast order, so be caref...

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 video below where you can watch the ones we are discussing. We had a l...

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 have them in broadcast order, so be careful if you&...

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 occasion. Smashing Pumpkins were HUGE for me in my teen years. They were my first ever “favorite band” fr...

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 when I started this show, I really wanted to dedicate an episode to the very overlooked film from the director of The...

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 search for all the time trying to get my next fix. Jamie Alvey was the perfect person to bring on for this one in more ways than I realized when...

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 it existed myself until the mid-2000s. Being a big fan of both Pam Grier and...

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. This week you’ll be getting FOUR episodes with returning guests and discussing films that are u...
