The Brandon Peters ShowClosing With A Song “The Way I Am” by Ingrid Michaelson with Sharareh Drury
Maybe it’s fandom. Maybe it’s a crush. Maybe it’s admiration. But, whatever, I enjoy the heck out of Ingrid Michaelson, both her music and as a person. I’ve seen her in concert a handful of times and will continue to seek her out and she’s a great entertainer. “The Way I Am” was her breakthrough single back in 2006 and comes from the director of last year’s film Emma with Anya Taylor Joy. It’s simple with a good message.
Sharareh Drury returns to share her enjoyment of the song as well as close out her 3...
2021-08-2017 minThe Brandon Peters ShowA Girl Walks Home Alone At Night (2014) with Sharareh Drury
Big caveat here on this week’s third and final entry into this first session of World Film Project. Yes, I’m very aware A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night was shot in California by UK born director Ana Lily Amirpour (who IS of Iranian descent). HOWEVER, please listen in and hear why I am vouching for this film to qualify for the Wolf Film Project.
Sharareh and I are both big fans of this little Leone-Western inspired vampire film. And every time I return to it, Amirpour’s film becomes even more spectacular. A fun behind...
2021-08-161h 28The Brandon Peters ShowClosing With A Song “I Want To Break Free” by Queen with Sharareh Drury
From my favorite band to Sharareh’s, the show takes us to one of the most iconic bands and frontmen in music history; Queen. “I Want To Break Free” is a landmark video for them and a controversial one only to us prudes in the United States of America. Hear all about it as well as our love and appreciation for Freddie Mercury and the lovely music he gifted us with in his lifetime.
Sharareh Drury is back for this one and shares why it’s her favorite band and the deeper connection she felt to Freddie Mercury...
2021-08-1330 minThe Brandon Peters ShowRemote Control (1992) with Sharareh Drury
The “World Film Project” enters week 2. To refresh or introduce you to this concept, during these couple weeks on the show, we’ll be spotlighting a film that a country, not necessarily always given the spotlight for their cinematic output, considers one of their classics.
Joining me for this adventure will be show regular Sharareh Drury. Her background and film appreciation really lends her talents in this direction and I’m excited for the discussion we’ll have on these movies.
Next up here is Sódóma Reykjavík aka Remote Control (1992) from Iceland. This wild and...
2021-08-091h 27The Brandon Peters ShowClosing With A Song “Crash Into Me” by Dave Matthews Band with Sharareh Drury
Here’s a moment some of you have been waiting for. Its not really a secret, but Dave Matthews Band is my favorite band. Many who know me have been asking repeatedly for when I would discuss one of their music videos. Here we are. And why the hell not “Crash Into Me”. Don’t worry, this won’t be the only foray into DMB on this show.
Sharareh Drury graciously indulges my fandom and has a wonderful discussion and perspective on them in contrast to my super fandom. I hope you all enjoy!

2021-08-0624 minThe Brandon Peters ShowThe Girl With The Red Scarf (1977) with Sharareh Drury
This week begins a 3 week journey into what I’m calling the “World Film Project”. Over the next few weeks we’ll be spotlighting a film that a country, not necessarily always given the spotlight for their cinematic output, considers one of their classics.
Joining for this adventure will be show regular Sharareh Drury. Her background and film appreciation really lends her talents in this direction and I’m excited for the discussion we’ll have on these movies. (We’ve already recorded 2 and they are absolutely magnificent).
First up, we are stopping in Turkey. 1977’s Selvi Boylum A...
2021-08-021h 12The Brandon Peters ShowClosing With A Song “Vasoline” by Stone Temple Pilots with Danielle Sepulveres
I’m very excited to crack open the can of Stone Temple Pilots here with “Vasoline”. One of my favorite bands from my youth, they really scored big on their second album, Purple. The music video is quite a wickedly stylish one as well.
Danielle Sepulveres wanders back to help close this week out. Sure, “Big Empty” is the Stone Temple Pilots single from The Crow, but that music video is merely clips from the film and not much to chew on. “Vasoline” provides A LOT more and comes from the same album.
Due to copyright and...
2021-07-3026 minThe Brandon Peters ShowClosing With A Song “Sunglasses at Night'” by Corey Hart with James Oster
People talk about the 1980s and “The Coreys” ; they are usually just referring to a pair of fellas. However, I argue there are 3. Corey Hart was a Canadian phenom that burst onto the scene with the synth soaked anthem “Sunglasses at Night”.
This music video is just as goofy as the song, but it’s also super rad in that way. Also super rad is James Oster who has relished the opportunity to discuss both Corey Hart and this song. We have a pretty good back and forth about this one.
Due to copyright and fair use l...

The Brandon Peters ShowClosing With A Song: “Ready Or Not” by The Fugees
It feels as if right when The Fugees took off, they were no more. As a matter of fact that’s exactly how it played out. They all went solo. “Killing Me Softly” was a phenomenon, but the next music video was extremely influential on the hip hop music video world.
“Ready or Not” had a huge budget and featured a lot of money thrown on the screen. Gone was the party and hanging out style, in was the militarized Michael Bay-style action premise. Sharareh Drury is back as we go over this substantial video and kick ass song.

The Brandon Peters ShowPersepolis with Sharareh Drury
Sharareh Drury is a person you should be expecting to make regular house calls on The Brandon Peters Show. I’ve long appreciated and admired her work and terrific perspective on the world of film, television and media in general. When planning this podcast out in its early stages, she’s someone who I intended to be a frequent flyer on the program.
Sharareh has a terrific story in her journey to where she is now at The Hollywood Reporter. It begins with winning an Emmy in high school and continuing to be a standout throughout her coll...
