The Brandon Peters Show

Still in 1943, this time we are talking about The Seventh Victim in our Val Lewton retrospective. There’s a change in director for this film and we have an addition on the hosting of the show. Yancy Berns returns to the show to discuss this highly influential thriller in the Val Lewton canon with us. When next this retrospective picks up, we’ll be talking about The Ghost Ship from 1943. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Friday with The Summer of 86 at 40 Music Video Companion Series.

The Summer of 86 at 40 Music Video Companion series will post every Friday, featuring a discussion of an artist, song & music video from a song featured in the top 10 of the Casey Kasem American Top 40. The music video for Robert Palmer’s “Addicted To Love” has been strongly hailed as one of the greatest music videos of the 80s and all time. In this episode, I have questions about that. Troy Brownfield joins Scott Mendelson & Jennifer Wreyford as the only people to have been part of every Summer Of project and acts as a therapist as I got through not understanding the popularity of this video.

The Summer of 86 at 40 is a weekly retrospective journey through United States pop culture surrounding the films released in May, June, July and August of 1986. Brandon Peters, Scott Mendelson and Aaron Neuwirth take a weekend by weekend look at the films released as well as the news stories, commercials, television and music that rounded out the general public’s lives as they lined the pockets of the box office to see these movies. May 23-25, 1986: It’s Cobra week. I’ve made no secret of being a big fan of Stallone’s over done Dirty Harry riff. But are Aaron & Scott? We also look at ANOTHER Poltergeist movie during Summer Of as we enter “The Other Side”. And Klaus Kinski terrorizes an apartment building in Crawlspace. We’ll also be discussing the box office report, notable news stories, a 1986 commercial, the top 10 Nielsen rated tv programs for the week and the top 10 of Casey Kasem’s American top 40 from the week these films were released.

One time villain False Face was neither a rendition of Clayface or Two-Face. He was also a one-time comic book villain. This episode also features Myrna Fahey as his cohort Blaze.
