The Brandon Peters Show

I kind of took a gamble and guessed Mike Vanderbilt would be a 38 Special guy. And, I was not wrong at all. He’s got a fun load of information on them as well as his thoughts on their style and type. This also serves as a bit of a music video two-fer. There was a sequel filmed using the song “You Keep Running Away” also starring Shari Shattuck. We talk about it as well.

We hit the grand finale of the tv series of Planet of the Apes, which also quite possibly is its very best episode, sending it out on a “high”. Russell and I look at the fantastic villain in this entry as well as reflect on the series and talk about some of its plans moving forward had it not been canceled. Russell McGee from the Big Finish Productions & WTIU-TV is the Companion for The Planet of the Apes. The Brandon Peters Show will return Friday (7/8) with special guest Mike Vanderbilt to close with a song.

Jessica Alsman returns and we have the song that finally knocks off Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder. You all know The Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me”. It’s an interesting, energetic kind of song with nice trade offs and memorable verses with a belting chorus. Oddly enough, while interesting in its own right, the music video doesn’t seem to fit this song well. it’s not what you’re expecting. Artistic merit was admired, but this wasn’t the song for it.

Apes hits upon a controversial episode during its time that is so far past the point of controversy you probably wouldn’t be able to pick it out. Russell goes over the issue and we dive into this rather more back to standard Apes tv venture. Russell McGee from the Big Finish Productions & WTIU-TV is the Companion for The Planet of the Apes.

July 2-4, 1982: A short listed week here. The only new major release is the Don Bluth animated film, The Secret of NIMH.

Juice Newton had been around for quite some time before busting loose with her previous album in 1981 that had such biggies as “Angel of the Morning” and “Queen of Hearts”. “Love’s Been a Little Bit Hard on Me” continued the climb of hits. Troy Brownfield was on assignment for this video. And it showcases the comedic side of the singer as well as having some odd sitcom parody-like qualities to it. Juice Newton would take home a Grammy for one of her other singles for this album despite a nod for this one.

About The Episode Sondra Locke is maybe the most major guest star we’ve seen in the series. We’ve also hit the fourth episode of a production block of 4 for Russell and I which is a bit loopy and includes a classic story of mine a personal aside.

June 25-27, 1982: One of the biggest weekends for film geek and genre culture arrives this week. Despite their popularity and legacy, none of them were that well received or did much work at the box office. We have BLADE RUNNER, JOHN CARPENTER’S THE THING, cult classic MEGAFORCE and the always funny Monty Python in LIVE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL. What a very loaded weekend with lots of favorites and we have room for it all!

Running the podcast stage, everything doesn’t go too smoothly all the time. For instance, I had a few shows scheduled to perform that didn’t show up. What happens then? I provide “filler”. And I have some of the best people to help me out with that when I’m at PopCon. What is included in this bonus PopCon episode is some banter with a few folks. The first set includes John Bottorff and Katie Ayres Schrock from the Kinda Nerdy Girls podcast. You’ll remember their fearless leader KJ graced The Brandon Peters Show last year when we discussed The Losers. We sit and talk a good many rambly things while also getting into a little bit of their program. Next up, James T. Wulfgar of Wulfgar Weapons & Props took some time to sit and ramble with me. We talk about his skills as a cosplayer and prop maker. His stuff is quite legit and has been used in many a movie, tv show or music video. And of course we go off track and talk about things we’ve been watching and inspired by. He’s a real good chap, James, and his time to show up on this podcast has been long overdue. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return on 6/20 to continue The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson.

Jennifer Wreyford is back and we have a gem of a video to talk about. “Rosanna” was unknowingly star-studded and Dirty Dancing heavy when it cast Cynthia Rhodes to star and Patrick Swayze as one of the background dancers in it. The video also has a cool West Side Story vibe to it. Toto’s “Toto IV” would go on to win the Grammy for Best Album from the year 1982. Said album that also contained “Africa” would stack up those Grammy’s from plenty of other categories in the ceremony held in 1983.

I was allotted the great privilege of getting to share time and speak with cosplay celebrity Alyson Tabbitha on the final day, during the final hours of PopCon 2022! If you’re not familiar with Alyson, you probably don’t realize you already are. Her magnificent work in make-up and costuming has caught the eye of viral social media, media outlets and celebrities around the globe. Alyson is one of the most friendly, excited, energetic and radiant people I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with in podcastings. She was incredibly generous and really appreciates her crowd, fans and colleagues.

Jessica Alsman and I returned to PopCon to deliver yet another killer live show once again challenging convention goers to a game of vintage Trivial Pursuit. This Trivial Pursuit was the 20th Anniversary Edition that included questions from 1982-2002. We added a rule like “ask an adult” or “ask a youth”. Wacky prizes were handed out and we had some special guests drop in to take part in the fun as well! You may recognize some former guests of the show popping in to try their hand at the game. As always, thanks to those who partook, and I hope you enjoy hearing yourself on recording to provide some sort of keepsake memory from PopCon 2022. We had a lot of fun ourselves and look forward to hopefully doing another round next year. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return on 6/15 with Old Space TECHNICAL INFORMATION VocalsBrandon – Pyle PDMIC58Jessica – Pyle PDMIC58Guests – Pyle PDMIC 58 Post ProductionNCH Wavepad Masters Edition v8.38NCH MixPad Masters v5.22The Levelator 2 RUNTIME: 84 minutes

June 18-20, 1982: Annie opens wide and we cover this big old school musical throwback properly. Two big stars do what they do best as Al Pacino stars in a Kramer Vs. Kramer knock off called Author!

Oh I have been dying to talk about Asia’s “Heat of the Moment ” since The Brandon Peters Show began. And now I find myself in 82, and sure as hell, it’s a hit song during the summer. Mike Vanderbilt is back on board to talk about the song, the video and to hear me give some life anecdotes about this tune. Did you know Asia had the top selling record of 1982? Well, now you do!

June 11-13, 1982: We arrive at the summer’s highest profile success story as well as its highest profile bomb. Steven Spielberg’s E.T. – The Extraterrestrial captured the hearts and imagination of the nation. And Grease 2 dropped off the planet almost instantly upon arrival.

Jessica’s second turn at bat comes with the valiant effort by Rick Springfield. His lead single to his album to follow up his mega success with “Jessie’s Girl” just could not reach #1 despite it being in its grasp. “Don’t Talk To Strangers” hung around at #2 for consecutive weeks, unable to dethrone “Ebony & Ivory”. The video for the song is an absolute trip. Jessica Alsman and I have quite the time trying to decode, make sense of and scratch our heads at whatever the hell the video is trying to convey.

Troy Brownfield completes your roster for the Summer of ’82 at 40 music video series guests. And funny enough, like his first appearance on the show, we are talking about a music video that is very inspired by the Universal Classic Monsters. Ray Parker Jr has a legacy of being known only for the Ghostbusters theme song and his subsequent lawsuit with Huey Lewis and the News. However, the guy really was much more than that. He had other big hit songs and quite frankly…rocks! With this song, he appears to be ahead of the curve in a lot of areas that would later be conquered by the likes of Michael Jackson and Prince.

Jennifer Wreyford is guest #3 for the Summer of ’82 at 40 music video series! I’m excited to have her return, and it’s been far too long. Nonetheless, she’s good at these music video episodes and I’m happy to spend a few Fridays over these coming months talking about 80s ones with her. Our first is a happy accident – I SWEAR! She’s a Jennifer and I somehow didn’t realize I gave her Tommy Tutone’s “867-5309/Jenny” as her first one in this lot. We talk about growing up having a song with your name in it, as well as a history of crank phone call problems over the years as a result of the song boasting an ACTUAL phone number.

Of course The Summer of ’82 at 40 wouldn’t be without the great Mike Vanderbilt! He’s the 2nd of our 4 rotating guests for the music video series and I’m elated to have him on board for the whole summer! Well, the show is finally tackling some Beatles territory. “Ebony and Ivory” was a humongous hit for Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder in the summer of 1982. It marked McCartney’s first duet as a solo artist. The song also has a rather cheesy music video to fit the nature of the song.

May 14-16, 1982: The second week finally sees something resembling a “big summer blockbuster” in the form of Conan: The Barbarian starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Another big star joins by way of political satire with Sean Connery in Right Is Wrong. There were also two horror films this weekend, slasher Death Screams and The House Where Evil Dwells starring Susan George. We’ll also be discussing the box office report, notable news stories, the top 10 Nielsen rated tv programs for the week and the top 10 of Casey Kasem’s weekly top 40 from the week these films were released.

The Summer of 82 at 40 will also dominate the music video series as we take this pop culture journey. It’ll include familiar faces from the show as we talk about a song from the Casey Kasem top 10 discussed on the show earlier in the week. Jessica Alsman, to the surprise of no one, is one of those guests. We kicked the door down on this with Joan Jett & The Blackhearts cover of “I Love Rock ‘N Roll”. A cover that we probably all know better than the original. Put another dime in the jukebox and jam with us as we talk about this bar rock set music video.

This episode finally starts trucking some things along and making this series stand out. Not only does it have a young Jackie Earle Haley guest star, but it kind of re-pilots the show with a bit more interesting mission. Russell and I dig into this one with much optimism.

May 7-9, 1982: Our opening week sees 3 films of the “rip off, don’t remake” variety that not many probably remember. The Stockard Channing/David Carradine/Christopher Lee Cannonball Run-inspired Safari 3000. Roger Corman’s “not quite Alien” riff that is Forbidden World. And rounding out is Phoebe Cates’ cinematic debut, her own Blue Lagoon, Paradise.

With the release of Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent this month, we are taking a look back at a stone-cold Cage classic. Face/Off was at the height of powers for Nic Cage, John Travolta and John Woo. A fine, big spectacle, high concept, high emotion thrill ride that is one of the most balls to the wall fun R-rated action pics the decade would offer.

I had always planned to get to Pearl Jam as they are one of my favorite bands. But, I’d imagined it would be something like “Jeremy”, “Alive” or “Love Boat Captain”. Seeing as things came together with Jonathan Graves being a big animation guy and Pearl Jam having one of the most glorious fully animated music videos…”Do the Evolution” it is! And marvelously, this was probably the BEST choice. Between the video and the song (Which comes from their 5th album, Yield), there was A LOT to talk about. We really dive into this one and admire everything about it. How things have changed, how the video was sadly prophetic, how dark it gets. It’s a lot. The video comes from one of the people from Batman: The Animated Series and Todd McFarlane, so there’s even more going for it.

What happens when ape and man are trapped under the rubble of a desecrated city with no feasible way out? Do they get along? Do they fight to the death? Do we get another that’s not a common science fiction television show trope? Who knows, but Russell McGee and I are here to dissect it! Also – WOMEN! They are in the episode AND say words!

Another seminal film in the history of the medium turned 50 years old this year as well and isn’t really getting the recognition some others are. Peter Bogdanovich’s What’s Up, Doc? starring Babra Streisand and Ryan O’Neal was the 3rd highest grossing film of 1972. It trailed only The Godfather and The Poseidon Adventure in ticket sales. The film is a screwball comedy throwback that also pulls some inspiration from Looney Tunes. And the perfect guest for all that is the host of the premiere Looney Tunes podcast, This Means Podcast – Jonathan Graves. Jonathan is also the spouse of show regular Sabina Graves. We have quite the conversation regarding this wonderful piece of art as we relish in its production, snappy script and performances and just marvel at how untiring it gets. What’s Up, Doc? truly is a film that needs to be rediscovered as its as hilarious as it is clever as it is just damn fine filmmaking. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Wednesday (4/20) with Old Space Show TECHNICAL INFORMATION VocalsBrandon – Shure SM58-LCJonathan – Unknown Microphone (Recorded with Zoom) Post ProductionNCH Wavepad Masters Edition v8.38NCH MixPad Masters v5.22The Levelator 2 RUNTIME: 120 minutes What’s Up, Doc? is available on DVD and Blu-ray.

We get our first notable guest star here in the form of a young Marc Singer who would go on to break out in The Beastmaster 8 years later. This is a pretty typical generic science fiction TV show plot, but is it any different (or better) when you paint it on the Planet of the Apes canvas? Russell and I dug in to find out.

No episode this week, but I’m finally ready to announce the big project I’ve been working on this year. So without further adieu, let me unveil… THE SUMMER OF ’82 AT 40 One of the biggest summer movie seasons of all time turns the same age I did this year and I wanted to take a big dive back into that pop culture time capsule. Joining me for this journey all summer long is Scott Mendelson from Forbes. From May to August, we’ll be chronicling every film released that summer in the United States. Weekend by weekend. From Conan The Barbarian to The Beastmaster. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan to Rocky III. Fast Times at Ridgemont High to The Last American Virgin. Re-releases like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars and Bambi. We are covering EVERY movie. But, it doesn’t stop there, we will want a real grip on the full pop culture climate of the time. We’ll be talking about news events from each week, the top 10 TV shows of any given week, the top 10 songs on the Casey Kasem Weekly Top 40 and of course, the box office numbers. It’s a deep dive with big movies and some you never knew existed. Hits nobody remembers, big name movies that bombed hard. Musicals, horror films, space, video games, stars, swords, sorcery, the movies had it all that summer. So be here May 2, as Scott and I travel through THE SUMMER OF ’82 AT 40! “Summer of ’82 Theme” by Pres Maxson

This one came up out of nowhere recently in a side conversation between myself and show regular Aaron Neuwirth. And then…I realized it actually kind of fit Cabaret with that theme of abortion. So, yeah, abortion week on The Brandon Peters Show, i suppose. Greg McGoon is back and we talk about the song, its depths and lyrical meanings. But we also go over the era when it came out and how its been sort of misguidedly used in other media before. The Brandon Peters Show will return Monday (4/11) to announce the upcoming summer special.

This brand new series of Old Space Show is our first “by request” from a listener. And I’m always happy to dive right into The Planet of the Apes, one of my personal favorite media properties of all time. And even more fun to have along with me is one of my finest cohorts, the marvelous Russell McGee. We crack open the premiere with our talk of our Ape experiences, background on the show, its players and more. Of course, we also dive into this madhouse and discuss the episode proper.

Cabaret holds the distinction of taking home the most Academy Awards at a ceremony and not winning Best Picture. It won 8, including major categories like Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography but lost out to The Godfather on the grand prize. Seeing as that film is also turning 50, loads of attention is being paid to it, and rightfully so. Not that Cabaret isn’t being recognized, but for my show, I wanted to give it its due. Personally, I have corners of the internet with me discussing The Godfather and writing about it already. Cabaret is one of my favorites ever and truly worthy of every bit of awards it “took” from The Godfather. An impressive film, with an impressive legacy and a whole lot to say. I’ve welcomed show staple Greg McGoon on board to discuss the film and he and I went for damn near 2 hours discussing it. And crazy enough, it’s all super focused and completely on topic. It’s better than I could’ve possibly imagined and I hope you enjoy it. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Wednesday (4/6) with the premiere of Old Space Show – The Planet of the Apes.

This is one of the more odd and obscure things covered here in our music video segments. And this comes in between Season 22 and Season 23 of Doctor Who (Before Trial of a Time Lord), but felt the best way to cap off Colin Baker as well as coincidentally landing on April 1st. “Doctor In Distress” is a “We Are The World” attempt at bringing Doctor Who back after its cancellation during Season 22. However, its quite embarrassing and one of the absolute silliest, headscratchiest things ever produced in the show’s run. Oddly enough, it recently came back into public awareness on Red Nose Day 2022 where they called it the worst song made for the cause. The audience even sang it. Enjoy this silliness, Rachel and I couldn’t wait to discuss it! The Brandon Peters Show will return.

Rachel and I are both quite fond of this two part story, but the road to get to it and the behind the scenes turmoil is just as exciting and just as amusing to discuss. The Ultimate Foe wasn’t what it was supposed to be and its debatable if it wouldn’t have been better than what we had. There are a lot of big Who ideas that come in here and never are revisited (Or are they?). From my standpoint, this fits in my abstract, wild, mindf*** type Who tale that I love to see. There’s some great ambition here and the fact that the second story was written in a matter of days in haste is very impressive. With the season at an end, as well as Colin Baker’s run as the Doctor, we reflect on it all to close out.

Bonnie Langford makes her debut as Mel Bush in the Pip & Jane Baker Agatha Christie homage “Terror of the Vervoids”. It also sees Bond and Avengers icon Honor Blackman grace the time and space of Doctor Who. With production changes, turmoil and all sorts of things going on behind the scenes, companion Mel really got a really weird end of the deal in her entrance and how her tenure played out. She makes her start here in an overstuff mystery with a questionable looking monster that may remind you of some genitalia. Though, Pip & Jane Baker’s words do seem to sing well with Colin Baker once again.

The Trial continues! This time the Valeyard presents a story including Rachel’s favorite – Sil! Yes, send her gifs, memes, photos, clips…she LOVES them! And and Old Space Show favorite guests in this episode, shouting to the balcony, its BRIAN BLESSED! “Mindwarp” features some very cool video effects as well brings an interesting debate on the Doctor’s mental state and intentions in the serial. Sadly, it also is the farewell of one of my favorite companions, the loveable and lovely Peri Brown. Rachel tells me to get over it, but I have my sob sob time in seeing Nicola Bryant off the show.

There are some technicalities abound, but there are some who consider Doctor Who’s 23rd season, “The Trial of a Time Lord”, one long running serial of 14 parts. It’s easily debatable as there are clearly 3 separate serials that stand on their own with a wrap-around. But, to appease both parties of ideals, we are going to do it in one shot this week, but in 4 separate segments. Our first piece of evidence presented is “The Mysterious Planet” which comes from legendary Doctor Who scribe Robert Holmes. This one features a revamp of the show after feedback on the previous season, and a much lesser budget. We meet The Inquisitor, The Valeyard and Sabalom Glitz in the trial kick off.

The Batman means it’s time for another Batman commentary on Out Now. And this is a big one as we complete a 10 year journey of doing commentaries for all of the 1990s live action films with Batman & Robin. And let me tell you, we’ve been trying to do Batman and Robin for quite some time here. While, yes, the film is nobody’s favorite, this is a very nutritional conversation on it. Focusing on the merits, what truly about it doesn’t work, what could have been and some of the comic geek relating things it does well and not so well. Yeah, I’m pretty proud of how this one turned out.
