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 again joins me for this discussion. When this retrospective picks up again in August we’ll be looking at Stalker from 1979. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Friday (8/1) with The Summer of 2015 at 10 music video companion series featuring Jennifer Wreyford.

We interrupt The Summer of 2015 at 10 for a moment to resume the Tarkovsky’s Tales retrospective. Steven Warren Hill and I this time are talking about the science fiction masterpiece SOLARIS from 1972. A film that is probably most people’s introduction to Andrei Tarkovsky. In prep for this I’ve read the book for the first time and revisited the Steven Soderbergh version from the early 2000s. Another wonderful estudious film discussion in this lovely series that I hope you are enjoying. Steven Warren Hill once again joins me for this discussion. When this retrospective picks up again in JULY we’ll be looking at Mirror from 1975. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Friday (5/23) with The Summer of 2015 at 10 music video companion series featuring Kat Fitzpatrick.

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 masterpieces we are about to go through. Steven Warren Hill once again joins me for this discussion. When this retrospective picks up again we’ll be looking at Solaris from 1972. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return next week as THE SUMMER OF 2015 AT 10 begins!

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 Ivan’s Childhood brought him into the spotlight and from then on would be someone to watch with each movie. Steven Warren Hill once again joins me for this discussion.

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 podcasters. While this is off the topic of movies, I felt what Rana provided was quite informative and beneficial and wanted to share this for this week’s episode. For the movie stuff – I’ll be on both The Box Office Podcast and Out Now With Aaron & Abe discussing “Mickey 17”.

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 we see our greatest fears realized? Scott Mendelons, Aaron Neuwirth and I take a break from recording the upcoming The Summer of 2015 at 10 to talk about what makes Bond special, the assumptions on how the franchise will be handled and a discussion of “Who exactly is Amazon and does their past film & television decisions warrant this fear?”. Considering my start as a regular writer and postcaster began with 007 (one of my dearest, favorite movie series) with both Scott & Aaron – we all felt like we wanted to have a conversation and address this hot topic. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return.

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 over the past year, it just felt like stars were finally aligning to do Tarkovsky on the show. This retrospective will drop 1 part per month. In March, we will discuss Ivan’s Childhood. This first episode covers 3 short films that he made in college. Steven and I note his influences as well as the sort of craft he was developing and many traits being in place. We also touch on the directors and films that we recognize from these. To keep the Diablo Cody train going, Steven also talks about how she came to Chicago TARDIS in 2006 and wrote a piece about it in her Pre-Juno launch to stardom. You can ready that here: https://web.archive.org/web/20111129205623/http:/www.citypages.com/2006-05-24/sports/calling-all-mathletes -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return.

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 thrown out pretty abusively to the myopic terminally online folks, but Jennifer’s Body fits it. Critical failure? Check. Box office failure? Check. Zero recognition for prestige awards? Check. Rediscovery much further down the road? Check. Heck, even audiences in 2009 raked it through the coals. In addition, we get the scoop on Greg’s latest book (a sequel to his earlier Oliver fairy tale adventure) that is due out in March. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return with the first part of the Andrei Tarkovsky Retrospective with special guest Steven Warren Hill.

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 Herschell Gordon Lewis. I’ve recently finally been getting through my HGL box set from Arrow and his movies certainly feature Jamie & I’s frequent conversations about super low budget independent films.

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 not now? Plus, in January people are still catching up with the best of 2024 and the awards contenders are still slowly rolling out.

Happy Holidays from all of us at The Brandon Peters Show.

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’s Big Year” as we reflect upon Late Night With The Devil, Immaculate, The First Omen, MaxXxine and Heretic.  -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Monday (12/23) with Pres Maxson and “Christmas Comes To WIllow Creek” (1987).
