Boxcutters
Summary: It's TV for radio on the internet. Brett Cropley, John Richards, Nelly Thomas and Josh Kinal present Boxcutters to fulfil a very important need: Television deserves respect. At a time when TV is producing better storylines, better drama and better comedy than any other form of entertainment (we're talking about you, Movies) there needs to be an outlet for independent discussion about the medium. Boxcutters is that outlet. Every week Boxcutters brings you news about the world of television, reviews, interviews and opinions (and a lot of love).

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
