After such a successful run with the Andrei Tarkovsky retrospective last year, Steven Warren Hill & I agreed to try our hand at another. This time the focus is not a director, but a producer.

Batman returned on January 19th & 20th on ABC for its second week, which debuted The Penguin as the villain. Burgess Meredith took on the role, looking and acting as if he came right off the page of the comic book. “Partners in Plunder” was the title of said comic book that “Fine Feathered Finks” and “Penguin’s A Jinx” were based on.

On January 12, 1966, ABC premiered the first episode of “BATMAN” starring Adam West, Burt Ward, Alan Napier, Frank Gorshin & Jill St. John. The program was a colorful, comedic and campy adaptation of the DC Comic which became on overnight phenomenon. With the show turning 60 years old today, I wanted to celebrate it and also do so in a more annotated way with factoids, history, research and fun statistics to tell the tale of the show rather than just a simple conversation about episodes. I’ve taken it on as a solo venture, though perhaps a guest may pop in for the future as though I’m climbing a building and a window pop open. I hope you share the love of this series or just enjoy hearing/learning more about it. I’d love to continue, but its a decent amount of work, so we’ll see how it goes. I had bigger production plans for this, but time/money/life weren’t going to permit my showman ship, but I wanted to get this up and going anyway. Perhaps I’ll see you next week, same Brandon Peters Show release day, same Brandon Peters Show podcast. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return.

It is 2026 and once again time for that good ‘ol pretentious best films of 2025 discussion. 2025 delivered some straight all time bangers and plenty of interesting films to chew on and linger in your brain. Christ Johnson had normally been doing this run with me, however he felt he hadn’t seen enough this year to do a list. And in his passing, he suggested I bring on another Normie – Shelby Deal. And what a recommendation. Shelby has seen loads and was game for the task. Shelby and I reflect on the year, talk about honorable mentions before revealing our Top 10s.

As is tradition on The Brandon Peters Show during the holiday season, Pres Maxson joins me to discuss an off the wall Christmas Classic from yesteryear. Always announced at the end of The Summer Of series, this year it was ME who picked the film and not Pres. I chose a traditional watch in my house when I was a kid…and an oddball one at that – 1984’s ABC Thursday Night movie “The Night They Saved Christmas” which boasts a pretty big name cast both in front of and behind the camera. Pres is so shocked and taken with this one, you all are going to love his reaction and thoughts. Happy Holidays everyone – enjoy the holidays you celebrate, enjoy those you are celebrating with and thank you as always for making this silly little show part of your listening. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Monday with the Top 10 4K UltraHD Blu-rays of 2025.

Since the inception of this program, one topic that has lingered on my list of “must do episodes” has been looking back on the 2009 film Soul Killer. This was the first film I worked on when I arrived in Los Angeles back in 2005. I literally lived there for 2 weeks and was working on a movie set. On that day I met his episode’s guest writer/director Bob Canode and star Kelly Chambers. I would go on to work on the film during multiple shoots either running sound or operating a boom mic. In a few scenes I did some background acting. Bob even made sure to kill me in one. I wanted to go back down memory lane with the two of them and recollect on the film, which is somewhat of an undiscovered treasure. The time was especially prescient to check this one off as they are currently in production on the sequel – Soul Killer 2 – as we speak. They share a little bit of what is happening with that production best they can. This was a joy to reconnect with the two of them and I hope you enjoy it. If you’d like me to trot down more of my past in episodes in the coming year, please shout it out on the socials or comment on the YouTube version. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Wednesday with the Traditional Holiday Episode with Pres Maxson & “The Night They Saved Christmas” (1984) TECHNICAL INFORMATIONVocalsBrandon – Shure SM58-LC (Recorded with Zoom)Kelly – Laptop Microphone (Recorded with Zoom)Bob – Laptop Microphone (Recorded with Zoom) Post ProductionNCH Wavepad Masters Edition v8.38NCH MixPad Masters v5.22The Levelator 2 RUNTIME: 54 minutes

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 were watching and listening to and then turn our efforts to see which film and television shows that set themselves in that era got it the most “right”. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return.

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” written by Steven Moffat. This one introduced the world to the Weeping Angels. It’s great television and the most obvious answer to the question of “What’s the scariest episode of Doctor Who”? My guest is someone I met almost a year ago, Taylor Deatherage, of Logan Arch, Chicago TARDIS and Alien Entertainment. I’ve been meaning to have Taylor on since we met and finally the time is here. For this Top 10 Scariest Episodes of Doctor Who…we’ve removed Blink as it’s just too much of a given. And we are doing this draft style so we aren’t crossing over. Also included are people from Doctoberfest 2025 giving their favorite scary Who story (That isn’t Blink). I had a BLAST recording with Taylor and putting this all together.

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 Ivan’s Childhood, or the constant handshakes he has with his previous film’s both visually and thematically. Steven Warren Hill is in tow for this one of course. I’m grateful to have had his time, knowledge and companionship on this journey through a filmmaker both of us love. And if you were a fan of this retrospective, Steven and I have another one already in the works for the near future. We appreciate your listens and watches.

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 “zone” with a fantastic deep dive for you. Steven Warren Hill once again joins me for this discussion. When this retrospective picks up again in September we’ll be looking at Nostalghia and Voyage In Time from 1983. . -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Friday (8/29) with The Summer of 2015 at 10 music video companion series featuring Pres Maxson.

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.

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 and it’s proven a divisive one at times among the fandom. I couldn’t think of a better copilot for this journey back than Renae Lipsmeyer who produces and hosts The Space Between Podcast which focuses on fandom sharing their passion for the band. Renae has such a good, positive thinking head on her shoulders when approaching DMB that she is the PERFECT fit for The Brandon Peters Show. Forewarning, this discussion is possibly not new user friendly when it comes to DMB, but maybe it is and maybe it intrigues you to check some stuff out. Renae and I “Dive In” pretty hardcore into sharing our own tales as we look back at this album’s journey and the songs that made it what it is. I appreciate any of you checking it out and hopefully we will say “Hello Again” to more DMB episodes (and Renae!) in the future!

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. 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”. Jessica Alsman wraps her time on The Summer of 2015 to help fill me in a bit on One Direction and such.
