While this isn’t a new episode, it’s likely new to you. In December, I was honored to guest for the first time on the Movies, Films and Flix Podcast. That, of course, is guest of the show Mark Hofmeyer’s podcast. When we recorded it, he encouraged me to feel free to distribute the recording on my podcast as well. 

And with me taking some time off here, I thought, why not now? Plus, in January people are still catching up with the best of 2024 and the awards contenders are still slowly rolling out. So, it’s very much still a relevant conversation and my thoughts really haven’t changed.

This was a fun exercise and enjoyable to record so I hope you enjoy it too! See you all soon!

Since not everyone checks out the YouTube channel, I thought you may be interested in my home video pickings for the best of 2024. You can get a visual presentation of this on the channel, but if you only are on the pod streams…well, here is your ears only version.

I once again invited Chris Johnson from The Normies to do the Top 10 Films of the year episode with me. We’ve had a lot of fun this year and I enjoyed doing the top 10 with him last year. So…why the hell not!

In addition to our film selections for the best of 2024, we reflect on our 2024s with our lives and our gigs. We also have our best “new to me” film of the year and then honorable mentions as well. Its fun, swift 2 hours and I hope you enjoy, agree, disagree or find recommendations in our selections. 

Thanks again to everyone who continues to listen, keep up with and support this show. It truly means the world. Here’s to more great podcasting and other adventures in 2025!

Happy Holidays from all of us at The Brandon Peters Show. As per the holiday tradition he created – Pres Maxson makes good on his promise to talk a weird seasonal special piece of media in which he pitches at the end of The Summer Of series.

This year is quite the treat as it sees the first ever reunion of Bo and Luke Duke as Tom Wopat and John Schneider get to get for 1987’s “Christmas Comes To Willow Creek”. And boy what an odd duck this one is! I really hope it is as much a weird treat for us to talk about the movie as it was to watch it!

Late in the summer, Troy Brownfield hit me up with something he’d observed over the past year in film – horror was leaning on its king (Satan) as a source for many high profile/widely released/buzzed about films. After a discussion, we decided an end of the year round up might be necessary in case any others might drop. And low and behold, one did. 

So join us for “Satan’s Big Year” as we reflect upon Late Night With The Devil, Immaculate, The First Omen, MaxXxine and Heretic.

Annnnnd – I’m back! While I’m still unwinding from an incredible weekend at Chicago TARDIS doing some Doctor Who documentary work, I was able to get back to recording my dear podcast.

I’m very excited to introduce to you my friend Kat Fitzpatrick of the Fake Ass Book Club and one of my fellow IN Podcasting ambassadors. She’s a fabulous talent and personality. There was a recent article I had read that spurned the topic of this episode that I kind of wanted to explore. So bear with Kat and I as this is just kind of a discussion about what the discussion should be. I’m pretty happy with it, though we left still scratching the surface. Maybe we will revisit some day. Hope you enjoy!

On Thanksgiving night, a time honored tradition as I wait for the minutes to tick down for the Vinegar Syndrome and Severin Films Black Friday Blu-ray sales is to watch the 1987 slasher classic Blood Rage (also known as A Nightmare at Shadow Woods or simply – Slasher). I discovered this flick when Arrow Video released it on Blu-ray in 2015. There’s a long time myth that Thanksgiving was the only holiday the slasher/horror genres hadn’t had a movie set to until Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving trailer (now a full fledged feature film) as a part of Grindhouse. Obviously this is false.

Yancy Berns returns to the show for the first time since Yancy’s Tales From The Video Store last year as part of The Summer of 93 at 30. He and I talk about the holiday Thanksgiving itself and have a fun discussion on the film.

Please note: There will be no episode next week as I will be doing documentary work at Chicago Tardis and haven’t been able to get an episode in. We’ll be okay though, I shall return!

Blood Rage is available for rental digitally and currently streaming on Night Flight.

I’ve had the idea for this one since the 4th episode of the show back in 2020. And there were a couple times it actually almost happened with a different set of people. I’m excited to now finally bring you the “Top 10 Directorial Debuts of All Time”.

Joining me is Mark Hofmeyer from Movies, Films & Flix as well as Deep Blue Sea: The Podcast. Mark and I have been recording for a few years together on Out Now With Aaron and Abe and I’ve finally brought him over.

There are parameters to the list making and we wanted to sort of avoid it being all obvious choices. What are some of your faves that we may not have mentioned, let us know!

November is a big month for physical media collecting nerds like myself. There are of course many sales on Black Friday as well as secret title drops and big price drops from boutique labels like Vinegar Syndrome and Severin Films. But, for the whole month, its 50% of the Criterion Collection at Barnes & Noble.

Criterion has long been in the game for boutique labels but a staple for shining a light on the best of international films and creators, independents, forgotten gems and providing the must boffo releases in terms of bonus features and film presentations.

Being around for 40 years, Aaron Neuwirth and I have decided to concoct lists of what the most Criterion Criterion Collection titles of all time are. What have been stapes, what movies have had their best foot put forward with a Criterion release and other factors. Listeners, please chime in to share with us your favorites as well!

Doctoberfest 2024: INFILTRATE was held on October 19th at Who North America located in Camby, IN. This year’s event was held completely on the grounds of the store. I was honoured to be welcomed back to do media coverage for another year.

This year’s special guest was Keith Barnfather, a legend in the realm of documentary and spin-offs focused on Doctor Who. In addition, there were many authors included as guests as well. That included Zepo Publishing who debuted their book How To Celebrate Your Fandom at the event.

This is the podcast edition of the episode. My youtube channel (youtube.com/brandonpetersshow) includes video coverage of the event as well as some additional pieces with some of the vendors/artists that appeared. Whichever way you choose to experience, I humbly thank you.
