Matt Pelsor from 92.3 WTTS in Indianapolis makes it a hat trick of Summers as he returns for 2015. We talk about Ed Sheeran’s major ballad with “Thinking Out Loud”. Matt enough shares an anecdote of when E...

We kick off 2015 with the big soundtrack song from a movie that released the month before summer started but would have a big presence on the countdown all summer long. It’s Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth with the...

In our 3rd part of this retrospective, we kind of begin again. Andrei Tarkovsky considers 1966’s Andrei Rublev as his first film post a cinematic graduation of sorts. The 3 hour fictional biopic is one rich with thematics in philosophy, art, history, human nature and so much more. Tarkovsky’s notable cinematic language and themes of his own are on full display in this first in a run of...

When PopCon returns this summer (June 27-29 at the Indiana Convention Center), there will be a Con within the Con. KJ is launching PurrCon as a part of PopCon. A convention dedicated to our feline friends, the cat and the kitties! She shares all about the event and what will make it fun, interesting and unique. To bring things home, KJ and I both share our favorite fictional cats in the realm of f...

The second installment of Tarkovsky’s Tales brings us to Ivan’s Childhood. While this is Andrei Tarkovsky’s first feature film, it’s a film he had inherited from a director that was canned. Nonetheless, this film completely showcases Tarkovsky’s known talents, techniques and tropes which will appear throughout the rest of the films we discuss. The global acclaim from...

On Saturday, March 8th, I held a presentation for the quarterly meetup for INPodcasting on the topic of “Social Media and Marketing”. For that, I brought with me Rana Mohammad, the Chief Social Media Officer for The Normies. Outside of the show and in my home of Indianapolis, I do plenty of work in terms of trying to craft a podcast community as well as helping and educating other podc...

Some news occurred in the recent weeks that struck a pretty hard cord in the film nerd circles. Barbara Broccoli & Michael G. Wilson have agreed to relinquish all creative control of the James Bond franchise to Amazon. A once protected and family owned cinematic operation would now be in the hands of the corporate overlord…or Blofeld owns Bond if you think about it. What would this mean? Will...

Two things about this series. First, there have been both listeners and guests in the past wanting me to do certain films from iconic Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky. Personally, if I was going to tackle Tarkovsky, I wanted to do the whole thing. Second, when I spoke with Steven Warren Hill at Doctoberfest, he mentioned Tarkovsky was one of his top 3 favorite directors. After getting to know him...

I thought this would be a funny connecting episode to last week. When Greg and I were talking about a topic for the episode he wound up randomly mentioning Jennifer’s Body and I KNEW that was the one, having just done “the Juno movie” The Wizard of Gore. Diablo Cody’s follow-up to Juno is one of the most tried and true cult classics of the 2000s. The term cult classic gets...

Here’s a little bonus for you. A week ago, Out Now with Aaron & Abe released a tribute to the recently departed David Lynch in which I got to take part in. I was joined by Aaron, Abe as well as guest of this show Yancy Berns and Professor Mike Dillon of Cal State Fullerton. This conversation discusses our discovery, personal impact and the cinematic (and televised) history of one of the...

We’ve long chronicled the history of Jamie Alvey’s Bystanders from script to screen. And now that it’s available on PVOD, I thought it best to check in on things now that it’s around the world. Jamie shares with us its various screenings, film festival success and the reactions it had from audiences. And our movie of discussion this time around is The Wizard Of Gore from He...

While this isn’t a new episode, it’s likely new to you. In December, I was honored to guest for the first time on the Movies, Films and Flix Podcast. That, of course, is guest of the show Mark Hofmeyer’s podcast. When we recorded it, he encouraged me to feel free to distribute the recording on my podcast as well.  And with me taking some time off here, I thought, why no...

Since not everyone checks out the YouTube channel, I thought you may be interested in my home video pickings for the best of 2024. You can get a visual presentation of this on the channel, but if you only are on the pod streams…well, here is your ears only version. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show  will return with regular episodes in February 2025. TECHNICAL INFORMATION Vocal...

I once again invited Chris Johnson from The Normies to do the Top 10 Films of the year episode with me. We’ve had a lot of fun this year and I enjoyed doing the top 10 with him last year. So…why the hell not! In addition to our film selections for the best of 2024, we reflect on our 2024s with our lives and our gigs. We also have our best “new to me” film of the year and th...

Happy Holidays from all of us at The Brandon Peters Show. As per the holiday tradition he created – Pres Maxson makes good on his promise to talk a weird seasonal special piece of media in which he pitches at the end of The Summer Of series. This year is quite the treat as it sees the first ever reunion of Bo and Luke Duke as Tom Wopat and John Schneider get to get for 1987’s “Ch...

Late in the summer, Troy Brownfield hit me up with something he’d observed over the past year in film – horror was leaning on its king (Satan) as a source for many high profile/widely released/buzzed about films. After a discussion, we decided an end of the year round up might be necessary in case any others might drop. And low and behold, one did.  So join us for “Satan&#82...

Annnnnd – I’m back! While I’m still unwinding from an incredible weekend at Chicago TARDIS doing some Doctor Who documentary work, I was able to get back to recording my dear podcast. I’m very excited to introduce to you my friend Kat Fitzpatrick of the Fake Ass Book Club and one of my fellow IN Podcasting ambassadors. She’s a fabulous talent and personality. There wa...

On Thanksgiving night, a time honored tradition as I wait for the minutes to tick down for the Vinegar Syndrome and Severin Films Black Friday Blu-ray sales is to watch the 1987 slasher classic Blood Rage (also known as A Nightmare at Shadow Woods or simply – Slasher). I discovered this flick when Arrow Video released it on Blu-ray in 2015. There’s a long time myth that Thanksgiving wa...

I’ve had the idea for this one since the 4th episode of the show back in 2020. And there were a couple times it actually almost happened with a different set of people. I’m excited to now finally bring you the “Top 10 Directorial Debuts of All Time”. Joining me is Mark Hofmeyer from Movies, Films & Flix as well as Deep Blue Sea: The Podcast. Mark and I have been recordi...

November is a big month for physical media collecting nerds like myself. There are of course many sales on Black Friday as well as secret title drops and big price drops from boutique labels like Vinegar Syndrome and Severin Films. But, for the whole month, its 50% of the Criterion Collection at Barnes & Noble. Criterion has long been in the game for boutique labels but a staple for shining a...

Doctoberfest 2024: INFILTRATE was held on October 19th at Who North America located in Camby, IN. This year’s event was held completely on the grounds of the store. I was honoured to be welcomed back to do media coverage for another year. This year’s special guest was Keith Barnfather, a legend in the realm of documentary and spin-offs focused on Doctor Who. In addition, there were man...
