Boxcutters

We get to speak to the extraordinarily delightful Peter Hitchener, newsreader for Channel 9 Melbourne, about how he just gives and gives to his viewers. After many requests from listeners we finally have a look at the comic book adaptation, The Walking Dead. I still wish it was called “They Shoot Zombies, Don’t They?” In […]

It’s so good to have Nelly Thomas back in the Nelly chair. We’ve all missed her but now she’s back and full of fight. She brings us a hilarious summary of the current season of Survivor. For the uninitiated, Nelly’s Survivor summaries are probably better than watching the show and it’s pretty damn good show. […]

Here’s the thing. We did 250 episodes of this show. This is episode 250 but we did our 250th a while ago so here’s one we did this week? Did you follow that? Well, can you follow a whole review of the new ABC show, Rake? I’m sure you can. Also, Toby Halligan starts us […]

John Richards makes a surprise appearance in the studio to give us an update on the shooting of Outland and he also tells us about your chance to be a part of Australian television history. We review the new US comedy Mike & Molly. Geraldine Hickey is our very special guest host. RSS feed iTunes […]

There’s not really much more I can add. Have you seen the title of the episode? Tony Freakin’ Martin calls us up to talk about A Quiet Word with Carrie Fisher. We end up talking about all sorts of things but it’s Tony Freakin’ Martin so you’ll listen because he’s a genius. In case that’s […]

Did you miss us? Well, we’ve returned anyway so deal with it. One way you could deal with it is by enjoying this wonderful episode in which Riley Boxcutter gives us an exclusive report on the Rally to Restore Sanity (aka the March to Keep Fear Alive). For the first time ever there is a […]

Last September, in Melbourne, science fiction fans came from all over the world to hear us interview two of the writers of the new series of Doctor Who, Paul Cornell and Robert Shearman. You can feel like you were actually there by listening to this episode. You will miss all the visual jokes but you’ll […]

When I, Josh, was in the US earlier this year, I stopped by the house of a pair of web-based film makers to talk about the definition of television. Kim Evey and Greg Benson are two of the people behind the very successful web series, the Guild, but they also produce their own stuff with […]

Brett has some Crap TVs that he needs to offload on us all. The fact that one of them may have been a misnamed Raywatch will go without saying because it doesn’t change the episode really. And who actually understands the definitions of these segment titles anyway? We may as well call the whole show […]

Is 3D ruining our sports coverage? We take a look at Channel 7’s coverage of the AFL Grand Final and wonder what has changed. Toby gives us a rundown on what Strictly Speaking is all about. There’s also some Letters to Boxcutters and an I Don’t Buy It to sink your teeth into (or sync […]

With poor Nelly away sick, the wonderful Geraldine Hickey comes in to take her place for a week. Brett doesn’t buy an ad for a genealogy website. We start talking about what television actually means and how the very concept is changing and where it’s going. That’s going to be a long journey but we’ll […]

This week we finally reveal who is number 5 in the Boxcutters Greatest Characters of All Time (there’s a clue in the title of this week’s episode but don’t tell anyone). Also there’s a review of the new CW series Huge from some of the creators of My So Called Life. Josh does a Rule […]

Yes, the rumours are true. Boxcutters has been around for five years. You’d think we’d have quit by now but no, we are very bad at learning lessons. To celebrate our podcast longevity we give you a gift. In fact we give you the greatest gift. We reveal to you, in this very episode, the […]

We review Rubicon and John talks about Margot Leadbetter in the Greatest TV Characters of All Time. None of us were paying much attention.

To top off what has already been a really busy week full of too much information, we bring in Claire Hooper from Good News Week to talk about the election night coverage. Remember the extreme game show / early reality series The Mole? Well, Brooke Marshall was the winner of series 2 of that show […]

Are you sad, alone, or just generally unhappy with your life? Then you need the LATEST EPISODE OF BOXCUTTERS! Star of Kath & Kim, Comedy Company, Let the Blood Run Free and, most recently Can We Help, Peter Rowsthorn joins us in the studio to discuss his extensive career. We also get a chance to […]

The excellent Geraldine Hickey joins us to tell us tales of what young children like to watch. Also, we review the new Louis CK show, Louie. I don’t want to build it up too much but it’s really fun. RSS feed iTunes or listen to 236 in your browser Send us an email about all […]

Kevin Clash performs Elmo on Sesame Street and Leslie Carrara-Rudolph does the same for Abby Cadabby. We have them live in the studio talking about puppetry, children’s television and adult humour. Also, Wil Anderson joins us on the phone to discuss The Gruen Nation. It’s really good. Really it is. RSS feed iTunes or listen […]
