On January 12, 1966, ABC premiered the first episode of “BATMAN” starring Adam West, Burt Ward, Alan Napier, Frank Gorshin & Jill St. John. The program was a colorful, comedic and campy adaptation of the DC Comic which became on overnight phenomenon.

With the show turning 60 years old today, I wanted to celebrate it and also do so in a more annotated way with factoids, history, research and fun statistics to tell the tale of the show rather than just a simple conversation about episodes. I’ve taken it on as a solo venture, though perhaps a guest may pop in for the future as though I’m climbing a building and a window pop open.

I hope you share the love of this series or just enjoy hearing/learning more about it. I’d love to continue, but its a decent amount of work, so we’ll see how it goes. I had bigger production plans for this, but time/money/life weren’t going to permit my showman ship, but I wanted to get this up and going anyway. Perhaps I’ll see you next week, same Brandon Peters Show release day, same Brandon Peters Show podcast.

It is 2026 and once again time for that good ‘ol pretentious best films of 2025 discussion. 2025 delivered some straight all time bangers and plenty of interesting films to chew on and linger in your brain.

Christ Johnson had normally been doing this run with me, however he felt he hadn’t seen enough this year to do a list. And in his passing, he suggested I bring on another Normie – Shelby Deal. And what a recommendation. Shelby has seen loads and was game for the task.

Shelby and I reflect on the year, talk about honorable mentions before revealing our Top 10s. I hope you enjoy and find yourselves some recommendations and validations as we share our favorites. What were some of yours?

This week is my best of 2025 week. Starting here with my picks for the best 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray releases of the year.

Unfortunately, like any other yea pplr, there are some notable absences. But I am only human and I have my rules for this.

As always for this one, it is very visual, so I encourage you to check out the YouTube version of this episode. The link is here

As is tradition on The Brandon Peters Show during the holiday season, Pres Maxson joins me to discuss an off the wall Christmas Classic from yesteryear. Always announced at the end of The Summer Of series, this year it was ME who picked the film and not Pres.

I chose a traditional watch in my house when I was a kid…and an oddball one at that – 1984’s ABC Thursday Night movie “The Night They Saved Christmas” which boasts a pretty big name cast both in front of and behind the camera. Pres is so shocked and taken with this one, you all are going to love his reaction and thoughts.

Happy Holidays everyone – enjoy the holidays you celebrate, enjoy those you are celebrating with and thank you as always for making this silly little show part of your listening.

Since the inception of this program, one topic that has lingered on my list of “must do episodes” has been looking back on the 2009 film Soul Killer. This was the first film I worked on when I arrived in Los Angeles back in 2005. I literally lived there for 2 weeks and was working on a movie set. On that day I met his episode’s guest writer/director Bob Canode and star Kelly Chambers. I would go on to work on the film during multiple shoots either running sound or operating a boom mic. In a few scenes I did some background acting. Bob even made sure to kill me in one.

I wanted to go back down memory lane with the two of them and recollect on the film, which is somewhat of an undiscovered treasure. The time was especially prescient to check this one off as they are currently in production on the sequel – Soul Killer 2 – as we speak. They share a little bit of what is happening with that production best they can.

This was a joy to reconnect with the two of them and I hope you enjoy it. If you’d like me to trot down more of my past in episodes in the coming year, please shout it out on the socials or comment on the YouTube version.

Stranger Things 5 just premiered this past weekend. Netflix’s juggernaut was one that spearheaded a deluge of films and tv set in the 1980s. Troy Brownfield and I have long nit pickled at historical accuracies in pop culture the show likes to celebrate. With that in mind, we thought it would be a fun exercise to look back at more what the midwest 1980s was REALLY like in terms of what people were watching and listening to and then turn our efforts to see which film and television shows that set themselves in that era got it the most “right”.

For the month of November, we are going to look at what some of the most definitive physical media releases are of all time. We will be breaking it down by single film, tv sets and film box sets. Aaron Neuwirth from 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Out Now with Aaron & Abe and We Live Entertainment is joining me for this endeavor.

For our closing chapter, we will be discussing film box sets. This can be a wide array of film series, film collections, director focused collections, random assortments and more. We do very much go to town on honorable mentions in this one. Also stay peeled toward the end as Aaron found some items he originally wasn’t able to in the prior episodes that he now showcases.

The second part of this series has us looking at TV series. Shows were released on VHS, CED and Laserdisc in the past, but DVD is really the format that drove television to another level. Aaron and I have our picks of shows that are some of our favorites and feel the most complete or impressive of releases given the amount of materials provided with it.

Aaron Neuwirth from 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla, Out Now with Aaron & Abe and We Live Entertainment is joining me for this endeavor.

In this first installment, we are talking about single film releases. What release of a movie felt the most definitive of all time of that movie for you? Was it a Blu-ray? A VHS? A Laserdisc? We share our criteria in picking these and then make our own picks. There is one film that was sort of the inspiration for this and to no surprise, both of us chose it.

It’s that time of year again – DOCTOBERFEST! The 2025 edition is called “Regenerate” as the festival is now in the hands of David Bradbury. I speak with David about his first time in charge, with his challenges and hopes for the future.

Doctoberfest was also the release day/party for Zepo Publishing’s “Fantastic! A Celebration of Fans Discovering Doctor Who”, which I was honored to contribute to. In addition to speaking to some vendors this year, I also spoke with the attendees of Doctoberfest and asked them the very same questions posed in this book!

Big shout out and thanks to Who North America, Nick Seidler, Larry VanMersbergen, Steven Warren Hill, Rob Warnock, Russell McGee and all those who helped contribute to this episode.

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.
