The Brandon Peters Show

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 have about one of my all time favorite menu items at Taco Bell. Jessica Als...

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 just so happens to be a Top 5 film for Danielle, too. In addition...

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 to myself, this commentary features Aaron Neuwirth (Out Now host, We Live Entertainment), Scott Mendelson (Forbes) a...

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 Thursday (7/22) with the Out Now Commentary for Point Break (1991). TECHNICAL INFORMATION Vocals Brandon &#...

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 game of Trivial Pursuit. The catch; the Trivial Pursuit was from 1981. And we wouldn’t be ans...

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 territories. “I Need Love” is a classic now and you know the beat by heart, but it wasn’t so much t...

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

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 classic for this episode’s discussion – BREAKIN’! I unabashedly love this movie...

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 as well as Apple and Spotify sweeps for such things, I’m not going to rol...

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 1992! Jessica Alsman from the The Bob & Tom Show is the Classmate for The Heights. T...

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 sorcery classic Hawk The Slayer to the forum to discuss. In my older age here, I...

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 well as Apple and Spotify sweeps for such things, I’m not going to roll the dice and be including a clip of the s...

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 is the Classmate for The Heights. The Brandon Peters Show will return Friday (6/18)...

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, this commentary features Aaron Neuwirth (Out Now host, We Live Entertainment), Abe Mou...

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”. She’s back here and we are talking about an...

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 also a BIG Keith Urban fan and provides such a rich background on Urban and his own personal re...

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 Space Show! It was something I really wanted to explore, but admittedly it felt a hair risky. So, thank you! Jessica Alsm...

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 he FIRST showed up on the program. How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days happens to be one of G...

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 it’s also super rad in that way. Also super rad is James Oster who has relishe...

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, aside from a 6 minute clip, we could not find the first episode of the show to discuss this episod...

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 wasn’t Friday the 13th. We talk a bit about his shows and get into his work as a junket interviewer and...

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 poster children for that was Hootie & The Blowfish’s “Only Wanna Be With You”. It came...

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! Tony Schaab from the Sciencefiction.com is the Companion for Quantum Leap. The Brandon Peters Show will retur...

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 event (July 9-11, 2021) and some of the history behind its creation...

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 big fan of his music. In a time where I was a metal-head angsty white boy, his music reached me a...
