2025-08-0122 minThe Brandon Peters ShowTarkovsky’s Tales Part 5: Mirror (1975) with Steven Warren Hill
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.

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...

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...
2022-08-1218 minThe Brandon Peters ShowOld 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...

This little on big smash was already a hit overseas the previous year before it got here to the states, but the summer of 1982 is where us Yanks found it to be one of the hottest jams around!

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.

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 co...

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...

The Brandon Peters ShowClosing With A Song: “Love Is A Battlefield” by Pat Benatar
This felt like a good one to stick with Buffy. Pat Benatar herself was a badass and she also delivered a lot of pretty cool music videos. The pinnacle of them would be “Love Is A Battlefield”, easily. This one tells a story and has a bit of goofiness to it as well. Oh, and it’s the first music video to ever have spoken dialogue in it, too!
Jennifer Wreyford returns to discuss the music video, which she had never seen prior to this. She also schools me on the old profession of “Taxi Dancer”. This is a terri...

Jennifer Wreyford and I met in a former place of employment and upon first interaction with her, I was immediately captivated and taken with her skill as a speaker, a leader and someone who relatively has a great sense of communication with people. Its no surprise that she’s found a calling in an industry very suit for that and is paving a way for herself. In addition to being certified as a life coach/healer, Jennifer has also started a wonderful podcast (“Courage To Rise”) and is now a published author.

We haven’t really done much in the way of metal on the music video portion. So let’s go back and do some Ozzy Osbourne. “Shot In The Dark” comes from an album he’d rather soon forget, was that due to some legal issues regarding this song or just not enjoying it? We go over that here for you to decide.
This video is not your father’s Ozzy. This is some crazy glam-rock Ozzy going on here. From the blonde bouffant hair to the white sparkly gown, the prince of darkness sure does sparkle! The song is...
