The Brandon Peters Show

Stranger Things 5 just premiered this past weekend. Netflix’s juggernaut was one that spearheaded a deluge of films and tv set in the 1980s. Troy Brownfield and I have long nit pickled at historical accuracies in pop culture the show likes to celebrate. With that in mind, we thought it would be a fun exercise to look back at more what the midwest 1980s was REALLY like in terms of what people...

It’s that time of year again – DOCTOBERFEST! The 2025 edition is called “Regenerate” as the festival is now in the hands of David Bradbury. I speak with David about his first time in charge, with his challenges and hopes for the future. Doctoberfest was also the release day/party for Zepo Publishing’s “Fantastic! A Celebration of Fans Discovering Doctor Who&#822...

There has been a lot of Doctor Who related stuff on the show in one way or another this month of October (or “Doctober”), so I decided why not cap it off with a Halloween related Doctor Who episode. And horror is something The Doctor is no stranger to. One of the most well known, favorite and celebrated episodes in the show’s 62 year history is 2007’s “Blink” wr...

Aw, the Tarkovsky’s Tales retrospective has come to an end. Unfortunately, Andrei Tarkovsky did not live much past the release of his final film, 1986’s The Sacrifice. He died from cancer as a result of the conditions of the area they film Stalker in. This film eerily enough showcases that he knew his time was up, be it the narrative of the film, the bookending of The Sacrifice with Iv...

Back in August I attended the Dead Formats VHS Convention in Indianapolis and met Memphis filmmaking legend Mike McCarthy. In November, he’ll be doing a 15th anniversary screening of his last feature film, 2009’s Cigarette Girl, and I wanted to bring him on to reflect on and celebrate this wonderful little dystopian science fiction film I recently discovered. Joining us for the convers...

I’m very excited for the upcoming book “FANTASTIC! A Celebration of Fans Discovering Doctor Who”. Not just because I have an entry in it, but because I’m eager to read other fans’ similar and vastly different stories on finding the show and their suggested entry points for someone else to discover it. Zepo Publishing launched back in 2023 and their output has been dir...

Wow – we are beginning Year 6 on this program. And with this one episode, this show is officially longer running than my previous one – Cult Cinema Cavalcade. With The Brandon Peters Show completing 5 years, that means Cult Cinema Cavalcade has been closed up for 5 years, but also started 10 years ago. I invited one of the recurring characters from that show, and staple of this one, Tr...

In this penultimate episode of the Tarkovsky’s Tales series, the auteur leaves his homeland of Russia to shoot his new film, Nostalghia, in Italy. Prior to shooting the film he directed a documentary that charted his location scouting for the film, entitled Voyage In Time. Steven and I discuss both films in this episode and dive into readings and appreciations of cinematography on a deeper l...

Believe it or not, 1979’s Stalker is one of the earliest and most requested movies to be discussed on The Brandon Peters Show. This science fiction masterpiece from Andrei Tarkovsky was first requested from a listener during the third week of the show. I’ve also had multiple guests bring it up as one to discuss. Well, it’s all over now and Steven Warren Hill and I were in the &#8...

The Summer of 2015 at 10 Music Video Companion series will post every Friday, featuring a discussion of a music video from a song featured in the Ryan Seacrest American Top 40. “Lean On” from the likes of Major Lazer, DJ Snake and M0 certainly is one hell of a global jam. Chris Johnson from The Normies is back to break it all down and talk about its impact and the video. Thank you for...

I’m sidestepping The Summer of 2015 at 10 for an episode this week as I’ve been wanting to have a Dave Matthews Band discussion on this show for sometime now. If you didn’t already know, I have a superfandom in this realm having seen them 80 times now and loads of statistical knowledge and history in my head about them. Their 2005 album Stand Up turned 20 years old this summer an...

One Direction was a boy band sensation that passed me by and I was never fully familiar. A sign of my age. I am quite familiar with Harry Styles who came from there. I did recognize this song, however, “Drag Me Down&#...

Love it or hate it, Silento’s “Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae)” became an instant wedding reception group dance sensation.

And we’re back! Tarkovsky’s Tales takes us to a very personal film of his in Mirror. A collection of memories, thoughts, ideas, reckoning and more is on full display as Andrei spills it to us in a surreal, abstract fashion. A highly regarded film, both of us enjoy patches, do our best to decipher things and also discuss why this one can be a tough nut to crack. Steven Warren Hill once...
