The Brandon Peters Show

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 Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. Streaming services have them in...

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, we’ve decided to do a commentary for his seminal apex UNFORGIVEN. In addition to myself, this comment...

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 out videos in the early days of MTV as well. It’s one t...

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 Mr. Dietz, I hope everyone is excited for this popular series to pick up again! And our regular reminder,...

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 discussing the final film of the recently departed Richard Donner this week. 16 B...

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 damn lyric to it. There are heavy hitters when it comes to these m...

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 after to have some final reflections on the show. Also, stay tuned for the big reveal of the next...

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. So consider this in place of the typical main episode this week. We dive in and have lots to cover here before the...

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 are, talking about the goddess Gwen Stefani and their most successful track critic...

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 end as Jessica has something very special to play for you listeners! Jessica Alsman from the The Bob & Tom Sh...

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 appearance on the show. She’s been one half of the Halloween Never Dies this whole year and...

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 as the both wacky and impressive videos she puts forth. “This Woman’s Work” was made famous by the John H...

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

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 from the The Bob & Tom Show is the Classmate for The Heights. The Brandon Peters S...

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 these movies. So, we are living up to that. We move on to Jason Takes Manhattan, not one o...

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 single back in 2006 and comes from the director of last year&...

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 Show is the Classmate for The Heights. The Brandon Peters Show will return Friday (8/18) to close with a...

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 for this film to qualify for the Wolf Film Project. Sharareh and I are both big fans of this...

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 our love and appreciation for Freddie Mercury and the lovely music he gifted us with in his lifetime....

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 The Heights. The Brandon Peters Show will return Friday (8/13) to close with a son...

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 Drury. Her background and film appreciation reall...

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 won’t be the only foray into DMB on this show. Sharareh Drury graciously indulges my...

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 Brandon Peters Show will return Friday (8/6) to close with a song. Technical Information Vocals Brandon &#8211...

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 and film appreciation really lends her tal...

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 Empty” is the Stone Temple Pilots single from The Crow, but th...
