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.

| 6/24/26 | The Horrors Of Val Lewton: The Ghost Ship (1943) with Steven Warren Hill | Our last feature in the 1943 run, The Ghost Ship, features a ship but no real ghosts. Steven Warren Hill and I dissect this tense thriller about a man losing control of his mind and another who struggles to be believed. A film that was crafted out of necessity to get mileage out of an expensive set built for another film! When next this retrospective picks up, we’ll be talking about The Curse of the Cat People from 1944. -Brandon The Brandon Peters Show will return Friday with The Summer of 86 at 40 Music Video Companion Series.
