The Brandon Peters ShowThe Wizard of Gore (1970) with Jamie Alvey
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 bu...
2025-02-101h 13The Brandon Peters ShowSeries 7 with Jamie Alvey
Jamie Alvey helps kick off our first movie chat of Year 4, which seems to be a trend now. But, she has exciting news as her film Bystanders is currently in post production. We talk a whole load about that.
We also discuss a favorite of mine that is one of the few this side of the year 2000 to sincerely hold the “cult classic” status. Series 7 is both of and ahead of its time. A wonderful satire that also doubles as a suspenseful body count movie and endearing character piece.

2023-10-021h 39The Brandon Peters Show“Podcaster Therapy” with Jennifer Wreyford
Welcome to YEAR 4 of The Brandon Peters Show. As I normally kick off each year, one of my guests returns to reflect on the prior year of the show and stuff I aim at looking forward to.
This year, however, I wanted to dig deeper. In what I’m calling “Podcaster Therapy”, I’ve brought on the show’s resident life coach Jennifer Wreyford to dive into just how tough it is to produce this show as well as the many other trades I employ while also maintaining a full time job and having a family.
I hope t...
2023-09-251h 40The Brandon Peters ShowThe 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...
2022-10-031h 17The Brandon Peters ShowClosing With A Song “Yer So Bad” by Tom Petty with Jamie Alvey
It feels weird when I think how long the show has been going on and you are landing on a legend like Tom Petty for the first time, but thus is the beauty of it all. There’s a lot of ground to still cover in the Closing with a Song segment.
Sadly the late rock icon passed a few years back, but he left us with so many great videos to go along with an outstanding vault of undeniably great music. I chose “Yer So Bad” because it features a cameo from Marty and Elaine, the house...
2022-02-0417 minThe Brandon Peters ShowLet’s Scare Jessica To Death (1971) with Jamie Alvey
We are sticking around in the 1970s for a second week in a row here on the show. We are talking about an underseen cult classic horror film, Let’s Scare Jessica To Death. A very stealth vampire film, this one is super moody and a complete feel through its ambiguous narrative.
Regular guest Jamie Alvey has brought the film to the table. We get into a fantastic discussion about a great many aspects of the film, from Carmilla adaptations, to mental health, technical achievements and much more. This might mark our best conversation to date.

2022-01-311h 23The Brandon Peters ShowClosing With A Song “You Might Think” by The Cars with Yancy Berns
We are gonna start 2022 with one of the biggest music videos of all time. The Cars “You Might Think” was a marveling achievement in the art of music video making back in 1984. The ambitious visual stunner went on to be the fist “Best Music Video” winner at the first ever MTV Video Music Awards.
Yancy Berns rejoins to talk about the historic video. And unbeknownst to me when I set this one up, Yancy is a huge fan of The Cars!
The Brandon Peters Show will return Monday, 1/31 with Let’s Scare Jessica to Death (1971) featuring...
2022-01-2816 minThe Brandon Peters ShowSound Of My Voice (2011) with Jamie Alvey
Sound of My Voice was a film that struck me, stuck with me and I continue to think about to this day. A little film that has big ideas and so much to say. These are the types of science fiction movies that impress me so much and the kind I dig and dig and search for all the time trying to get my next fix.
Jamie Alvey was the perfect person to bring on for this one in more ways than I realized when I asked if she’d like to come back for this celebratory we...
2021-09-291h 23The Brandon Peters ShowBucktown (1975) with Audery Lane
Audery Lane is back! She’s always game and ready upon receiving the call to come and guest on the show. I’m lucky to have someone with such talent and great analysis that is excited to be on the show!
For this episode, I’m bringing a completely forgotten flick to the table: BUCKTOWN. I didn’t know it existed myself until the mid-2000s. Being a big fan of both Pam Grier and Fred Williamson, I’m stunned that I and others still to this day don’t know of a big movie that they teamed up fo...

The Brandon Peters ShowClosing With A Song: “Angel of Mine” by Monica
Monica had a huge record with her sophomore album “The Boy Is Mine” which led off on a big duet with her rival Brandy. The second single was, oddly as a I found out, a cover of “Angel of Mine”. It wasn’t a duet, but the video featured the up and coming singer/MTV VJ Tyrese Gibson (Known then just as “Tyrese”).
Jamie Alvey (Morbidly Beautiful, Devil’s Kettle Drama Club) returns to discuss this music video which surprisingly through us through a loop on a big cliffhanger. Hear us go crazy discussing it as well as the rest of t...

The Brandon Peters ShowAbsentia (2011) with Jamie Alvey
Jamie Alvey is the first guest on the show that I found through another guest on the show. Back in October, when I recorded with Molly Henery she mentioned to me that she would be doing a live script read for something called the Devil’s Kettle Drama Club (Nice nod to Jennifer’s Body). So I checked it out and it was a lot of fun and Jamie was the person running it. So, I jotted her down to bring on at some point. Now is the time.
In addition to the drama club, Jamie also is a...

The Brandon Peters ShowClosing With A Song: “Raspberry Beret” by Prince and the Revolution
Time to finally get to some Prince here on the music video series. I decided to go with something somewhat whacky combined with just a damn fine song. “Raspberry Beret” was the first thing we received from him after “Purple Rain”. The video is very 1980s loud as well fun and eclectic.
Returning to analyze the fun is Katie Rife from The A.V. Club. We do start out a little off topic talking about CEDs (A very extinct and very obscure home video format), but I kept it because it’s a very “us” conversation and it was fun. Bu...
