Back by popular demand – special guest panellist Marieke Hardy.
And what a big show it is!! So many grudge matches you’ll think it’s Wrestmania 46 not Box Cutters 46.
They said we should never let them in the studio together, but we did it anyway – Marieke Hardy and Jess McGuire square off (and talk a little Big Brother 06).
Josh exposes the House Vs All Saints and the fight over the very few medical storylines available (and in true wrestling style switches allegiances at the last moment – I don’t want to say too much but look out for that cheap chair shot, All Saints).
Ross takes on previews and ad revelation in a Crap TV cage match.
And BreBo gets ready to rumble with the world in general, especially the fiasco that late night television has become.
Ep 46. It’s ON!!!!

Big show. Brian Nankervis from Rockwiz joins us via the telephonic machine to talk about his involvement in TV history. We each take a turn in getting angry through some Crap TV, reviews of Penn & Teller: Bullshit and the Lady Voldemort. Our ending is very APT and compelling. Listen for clues and help solve the mystery.
That’s Boxcutters: Episode 45… or is it?

As with every week, this was a big one in television. Most notably the Emmy nominations came out this week. Brett looks at ads past their used-by date in I Don’t Buy It. Ross wonders about why Channel 10 are such derr-brains in Crap TV. Also, Josh loses his cool and moves further away from his goal of being Fonzie.

Well, there is just too much television to bother with almost witty introductions. Of course we have Jess in to talk about all the Big Brother controversy. There is a whole bunch of other news as well. Josh talks about Dinner Party Inspectors. There’s been some issues around the Showtime US website and Ross discusses Freaks and Geeks in Things You May Have missed.
It’s so good you’ll want to listen to it twice.
