Tim Burton’s Big Retrospective: Part Four with Scott Mendelson
Here we are, our first episode with some ups and downs. It also includes 2 of the biggest highs and a film Brandon calls “Ultimate Burton”. One of the misses is a fascinating one and the other just doesn’t get any better the more you return to it. Another great discussion with Scott and I.

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Deadly Maneuvers” with Tony Schaab
While its the third episode aired, there’s a lot of dialogue hints that it may not have been the intended third in order. It’s an interesting mystery/whodunnit type episode that continues to showcase a rather strong action show about a man and his talking car. This episode we show some of our continued surprise and appreciation for the series and I point out something unique and interesting about David Hasselhoff’s Michael Knight.

Tim Burton’s Big Retrospective: Part Three with Scott Mendelson
If there’s one thing you know about Scott and I, it’s that we will forever be grateful for and also talk the hell out of Tim Burton and his Batman movies. This episode features a lot of reprises of past recorded conversations, some old jokes and maybe a few new surprises. But, hell…it could be new to you, it could be the greatest hits. Most of all, enjoy this run of excellence from Mr. Burton and our thoughts on it.

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Knight of the Phoenix” with Tony Schaab
Turning 40 years young this year is a show I fell in love with at the absolute youngest I could have been when it aired (We’re the same age). In this first episode, Tony and I recollect the show and the times of when it first came out. This launch of the show was a TV movie but aired in syndication in 2 parts. We’re covering it all here. Pamela Susan Shoop, who Halloween fans remember VERY WELL from Halloween II is the guest star. Tony Schaab from ScienceFiction.com is the Companion for Knight Rider.

We launch the promised Tim Burton Retrospective. Scott Mendelson of The Wrap joins me for this look at the entirety of Tim Burton’s career with everything publicly available to digest. In this first episode, we take a look at all of the early shorts and films he made via high school, college and early in his career at Disney.

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Orac” with Steven Schapansky
In this giant-sized finale for Blake’s 7 Series One, Steven and I look over the decently impressive last episode. We also take a look back at the first series as a whole and slightly tease what’s gonna happen going forward on Blake’s 7. Steven will return for Series 2, but I need to catch a ride in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am first.

TBPS EP075: Out There Halloween Mega Tape (2022) with Troy Brownfield
And here we are. Something I never knew was in the works or “out there” until just a fews weeks or months ago. A sequel to my beloved WNUF Halloween Special. This second addition to the television nostalgia found footage flick of 2013 jumps ahead to the 1990s and parodies the likes of Ricki Lake talks shows and the Fox “Alien Autopsy” paranormal specials. Of course there are commercials galore and some surprising developments with stories and figures from the previous film. Troy and I deliver another treat. Our lengthy conversation contains a lot of personal experiences, anecdotes and one hell of a reflection from Troy regarding the vampire guy in the talk show. You don’t want to miss it. Enjoy, as talking about these 2 movies with Troy have been some of my favorite podcast experiences. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Wednesday (11/2) with Old Space Show Blake’s 7 Series One FINALE!

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Deliverance” with Steven Schapansky
The penultimate episode of Blake’s 7 series 1 is a bit of putting things into place for the finale, but it does include some Servalan action. We are also hinted at the mysterious Orac… Steven Schapansky from Radio Free Skaro, Lazy Doctor Who and Doctor Who: The Memory Cheats is the Companion for Blake’s 7.

WNUF Halloween Special (2013) with Jessica Alsman
If you’ve been following my podcasting adventures, you’ll know I’ve done this movie before as an episode of my previous podcast. Well, in order to get your ready for next week when I discuss the brand new sequel, I thought it would be best to refresh on WNUF Halloween Special and introduce Jessica and you the listener to it. This film hits me in a very specific nostalgic pinch and I’ve adored it since I first took it in. The film has become a traditional watch for me and I’ve wanted to learn everything I can about it and have watched my Vinegar Syndrome partner label Blu-ray of it up and down. Frank Stewart rules. The content not only fits the commercials segment that Jessica and I do, but also the Satanic Panic stuff Troy and I do. He’ll be on to talk about the sequel next week. He and I discussed it back on my old show which you can seek out on the pod streams. I had a great time revisiting this and I hope you did too or loved discovering it for the first time. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Wednesday (10/26) with Old Space Show TECHNICAL INFORMATIONVocalsBrandon – Shure SM58-LCJessica – Unknown Microphone (Recorded with Zoom) Post ProductionNCH Wavepad Masters Edition v8.38NCH MixPad Masters v5.22The Levelator 2 RUNTIME: 70 minutes WNUF Halloween Special is available on DVD & Blu-ray.

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Bounty” with Steven Schapansky
Our discussion this episode is a fantastic one that goes on a side discussion of a bigger topic as Steven and I go over some unfortunate misguided racism in old production and how it has been in programs like Blake’s 7 and our beloved Doctor Who. But don’t worry, we do have plenty of fun with this story as well. Steven Schapansky from Radio Free Skaro, Lazy Doctor Who and Doctor Who: The Memory Cheats is the Companion for Blake’s 7.

EP073: Practical Magic (1998) with Greg McGoon
I dig a good left turn on the show. Sure, Practical Magic isn’t a horror film in October, but its story of witches and has a VERY fall feeling. Plus it’s a pretty legitimate cult classic and you know I’m always down for those. Greg leads the charge here as he dives very deeply into the film, which hits him pretty personally. I also make a big gaffe and continue with it, mixing up my Last Summers from the previous episode where this movie came out at the same time as I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and NOT the first one. So, excuse my “25th anniversary” and mention it playing alongside the original. I’m 40 now, I get confused. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Wednesday (10/19) with Old Space Show TECHNICAL INFORMATIONVocalsBrandon – Shure SM58-LCGreg – Laptop Microphone (Recorded with Zoom) Post ProductionNCH Wavepad Masters Edition v8.38NCH MixPad Masters v5.22The Levelator 2 RUNTIME: 122 minutes Practical Magic is available on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray.

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Breakdown” with Steven Schapansky
This episode stars one of the great legends of British television and film – JULIAN GLOVER! However, you have to wait til the 32 minute mark for him to show up. Steven and I dissect this sluggishly paced and unbalanced episode of the show.

I Know What You Did Last Summer Film Trilogy with Jessica Alsman & Greg McGoon
This is an episode I’ve been wanting to do for quite some time and it went better than I’d even hoped. Greg and Jessica join me for a discussion of not just the first movie, but all 3 I Know What You Did Last Summer movies. We even touch on the 2021 television series at the end. While they’ve been derided since upon arrival, I’ve always quite enjoyed the first one and even though its pretty dumb, much of the 2nd as well. I admittedly hadn’t seen the 3rd since I bought the DVD back in 2006 (Yes, I still own it). And…you’re in for something special with this. I have a pretty personal story as an anecdote to the first film. I hope you listeners enjoy that and our enjoyment of the absurdity in the plot of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Wednesday (10/12) with Old Space Show TECHNICAL INFORMATIONVocalsBrandon – Shure SM58-LCJessica – Unknown Microphone (Recorded with Zoom)Greg – Laptop Microphone (Recorded with Zoom) Post ProductionNCH Wavepad Masters Edition v8.38NCH MixPad Masters v5.22The Levelator 2 RUNTIME: 156 minutes I Know What You Did Last Summer is available on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray.

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Project Avalon” with Steven Schapansky
This episode is one big Star War knock off and we are absolutely here for it. Sabotage! Escape! Shootouts! Deception!

The House Of The Devil (2009) with Jamie Alvey
Well, it’s been quite some time since we’ve had a normal, straightforward episode of the show. A combination of things happened here. I wanted a little break after working hard on The Summer of 82 at 40 series, I had a vacation the first week of September and then I caught Covid pretty bad from said Vacation. But, I appear to be good now and am ready to get back to the grind. The originally planned episode for the end of September didn’t quite work out, but no worries (Greg will be on next week). Jamie Alvey returns to help kick off Year 3 here on the show and our October month of some spooky stuff. We are discussing a personal favorite horror film of mine, Ti West’s 2009 film, The House of the Devil. Well before Stranger Things brought back the 80s nostalgia and before The Artist made a Best Picture movie of a throwback film, Ti West nailed it better than them all in his 3rd film which features triple threat darling, Greta Gerwig in a supporting role. I drool over this film a lot, but Jamie and I have a fantastic conversation about it. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Wednesday (10/5) with Old Space Show TECHNICAL INFORMATIONVocalsBrandon – Shure SM58-LCJamie – Laptop Microphone (Recorded with Zoom) Post ProductionNCH Wavepad Masters Edition v8.38NCH MixPad Masters v5.22The Levelator 2 RUNTIME: 78 minutes The House of the Devil is available on DVD and Blu-ray.

Travis is back in the fold and we are introduced to a new being called a Mutoid. This planet of one on one to the death episode is filled with good entertainment and intrigue. Steven and I’s conversation on it is a fun one that might sound like we have problems with the episode, but we actually both dug it quite a bit.

Out Now Commentary – Pinocchio (1940)
We are continuing to leap further back into film history with these commentaries (Wait’ll you see next month!). Pinocchio recently had the live action facelift on Disney+, so we’re going back and looking at the original Walt Disney animated film. A film that bombed upon release and was the studio’s second features following the phenomenon that was Snow White.

Time for some Agatha Christie in space! Steven and I discuss the murder mystery aboard a starship in this intriguing episode of Blake’s 7. There’s a lot of observations we find here in terms of production and show dynamic that makes for some interesting stuff to chew on.

Out Now Commentary – Kiss Me Deadly (1955)
Kiss Me Deadly has been on the Out Now bucket list for a while now. We discuss why and then dive into the 1955 noir classic that is quite punk rock for its time and genre. Age has been kind to this stylistic and highly influential pot boiler. It also features the film debut of Cloris Leachmann. A personal fave commentary of mine that we’ve done and I think one of the best!

Many wonderful lines, line reading and devious schemes come through in this episode as well as some history on Roj and Travis. Folks, we have taken off!

Out Now Commentary – Air Force One (1997)
Wolfgang Petersen recently passed, but we recorded and released this commentary celebrating 25 years of his action summer blockbuster Air Force One prior.

Closing With A Song “Physical” by Olivia Newton-John with Pres Maxson
Okay, okay – THIS is the final send off for The Summer of 82 at 40! We needed a music video to go with this bonus episode. We also needed to add a personality to the series that was there the whole time, but definitely deserved to be helping put the finishing touches on this run. SO! I give you the biggest hit song of 1982 with the guy who put together the biggest song of this summer – Pres Maxson. We discuss the late Olivia Newton-John’s wild and controversial video for the song and awe at the music which it outsold and uncharted during the entire decade (Michael Jackson, who?).

August 27-29, 1982: This is it! The grand finale! And unfortunately…we end just as we began – with three crappy flicks.

Closing With A Song “Abracadabra” by Steve Miller Band with Troy Brownfield
Our last song with Troy on The Summer of ’82 at 40 is another one that took a while to be a big hit. Steve Miller Band is a well known commodity, though I’m not sure much in the way of music videos. Troy and I talk this weird one that is a total relic of the time and an early exploratory time with the art of the video. This one looks and feels like someone horsing around with some editing software. But, as always, Troy delivers on history, “being there” for the moment and other wonderful asides.

4K BLUsday: Child’s Play 1-3 4K and Catching Up With Justin Beahm
We interrupt your regularly scheduled week with some good ‘ol home video collector shop talk. The one and only Justin Beahm returns to the show and I’m happy to catch up with him on all the fantastic work he’s been putting out since the last time he appeared on the show. Centered around this week’s releases of Child’s Play 1, 2 & 3 on 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray from Shout!/Scream Factory, we also go into some of his other work from the past and future, including as much as I could get out of him about the upcoming Halloween 4K Collection box set. But, we discussed some magnificent stuff that blew my mind, like him having breakfast with Robert Redford to discuss the Blu-ray of Ordinary People and Jackie Earle Haley restoring some old home movie footage for Bad News Bears. There’s A LOT to unpack here, and the episode is very casual and off the cuff. I hope you enjoy hearing it as much as we enjoyed recording it. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Wednesday (8/17) with Old Space Show TECHNICAL INFORMATIONVocalsBrandon – Shure SM58-LCJustin – Unknown Microphone (Recorded with Zoom) Post ProductionNCH Wavepad Masters Edition v8.38NCH MixPad Masters v5.22The Levelator 2 RUNTIME: 86 minutes

Closing With A Song “Vacation” by The Go-Go’s with Jennifer Wreyford
Jennifer Wreyford wraps up summer camp here on The Summer of ’82 at 40 with the lead off single from The Go-Go’s sophomore effort called “Vacation”. Sure, youngins might recognize this as part of Marvel’s Spider-Man Far From Home but The Go-Go’s are far from being well known just from that movie. This coincides with the week that Fast Times at Ridgemont High released and their big, defining single “We Got The Beat” so perfectly launched that film. Jennifer and I talk The Go-Go’s, a little bit of their drama, and some more about Fast Times as she bids adieu to ’82!

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “The Way Back” with Steven Schapansky
From one British science fiction show to another – It’s time for Blake’s 7! The show is very “Doctor Who adjacent”. Not only is it created by the father of the Daleks Terry Nation, but many of the people in front of and behind will reign super familiar. Unlike Doctor Who, the show does get to some more bleak territory. This was a fun discovery for me during the lockdown portion of the pandemic and I’m happy to have my companion Steven here to help guide back through it as he was one of the people that had me interested in checking it out in the first place.

Closing With A Song “Only The Lonely” by The Motels with Mike Vanderbilt
Mike Vanderbilt wraps up his stint here on The Summer of ’82 at 40 music video series. We discuss The Motels’ “Only the Lonely”. You may ask “Who are The Motels?” Well, look up “Suddenly Last Summer” and you go “Ahhhhh, ok!”. This video was done by the director of Highlander, which I believe we’ve done some from him before. It’s an interesting little noir throwback gem that has been given credit for the reason the song became a hit. One of the earliest instances of video pushing a song into more popularity.

Old Space Show – Doctor Who “Dragonfire” with Tony Schaab
And as quickly as we began, it was over! Dragonfire marks a significant turn in the Sylvester McCoy run as the Seventh Doctor. It most importantly introduces us to his mainstay companion in Ace played by Sophie Aldrea. Ace is an important character that will go on to enrich the idea and writing of a companion in Doctor Who which would echo all the way through to the new series. Seeing as this is the end, Tony and I also reflect on this season as a whole, with its highs and lows and pick our favorite story of the four. Tony Schaab from ScienceFiction.com is the Companion for Doctor Who: The Sylvester McCoy Era. The Brandon Peters Show will return Friday (8/5) with special guest Mike Vanderbilt to close with a song.

Closing With A Song “Hurts So Good” by John Cougar (Mellencamp) with Jessica Alsman
Jessica is back for round 4. This time her and I are getting a bit local. John Mellencamp was born, raised and still lives here in Indiana. When he had his massive breakout in “Hurts So Good” off his American Fool album, he was just John Cougar. Here about his name evolutions as well as Jessica’s personal anecdotes of crossing paths with him since she works in radio. It’s a fun little episode from a music video that doesn’t off a whole lot.

Old Space Show – Doctor Who “Delta and the Bannermen” with Tony Schaab
I’ve been teasing that there is one serial this season that “figures it out” in regard to the Seventh Doctor era of Doctor Who. Delta and the Bannermen is that one that discovers and relishes in the hallmarks of what would come in the following 2 seasons. Tony and I discuss a lot of the “what if” portions of things that could have been different in regards to the scriptwriting and productions choices and options that were going on with this story. We also dive into a little bit of modern Doctor Who news for a bit at the top. Tony Schaab from ScienceFiction.com is the Companion for Doctor Who: The Sylvester McCoy Era.

Closing With A Song “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor with Troy Brownfield
The summer’s biggest song from one of its biggest movies – Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” is here. And our returning champion Troy Brownfied is here to dissect and devour it. Did you know that Stallone originally wanted “Another One Bites the Dust” by Queen for Rocky III? Once rejected, he commissioned Survivor to write this song for it. So, should we credit Sly with one of the biggest hits of 82? This thing was a MONSTER!
