MolksTVTalk the Podcast – S02E16

Dan & Dani - The Block 2012

Another Skyped podcast as SteveMolk is still overseas, this time in Arizona in the US. There's lots of good television on both sides of the Pacific, but it's the stuff in Australia that has most people's attention. There's a chance to work in the TV industry and the CELEBRITY APPRENTICE AUSTRALIA wraps up for the year, along with an interview with Dan & Dani from THE BLOCK (thanks to Josh). It's a busy week with new shows and the Olympics are but 6 weeks away (where has the year gone?!). On this week's show we cover such topics as: Dicko wins 2012 CELEBRITY APPRENTICE AUSTRALIA - after the result was leaked on NineMSN. Ch10's … [Read more...]

Damian Walshe-Howling - Bikie Wars: Brothers In Arms

Oh, Canada! With me in Calgary and Josh still in Brislantis, it's back to Skyping for the podcast. There's still a lot to talk about, what with the launch of MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA, news that finally TRICKY BUSINESS is getting a run, and Darren McMullan going all Dicko on a booted contestant from THE VOICE AUSTRALIA. I go away for one week and this happens... On this week's show: TRICKY BUSINESS gets an airdate (and the best lead in available). (3:38) Channel 7 schedules ONCE UPON A TIME. (5:05) All for the BROTHERS IN ARMS. (8:05) Exclusive interview with Damian Walshe-Howling - BIKIE WARS: BROTHERS IN ARMS. (11:25) That show. … [Read more...]

Jason Mewes & Kevin Smith on Ch10's Breakfast

A note from SteveMolk: If you've downloaded this podcast thinking it'll be a nice, simple, quick listen, you were only 66.67% correct. At one hour thirty two minutes, settle in as it's a biggie, but not without good reason. I personally blame the fact we stopped half way through and had dinner, causing us to come back with a second wind. Lethal. Nonetheless, this week we solve all of Network Ten's ills, let you know about ALL the new reality TV that's fatiguing you night after night, compare the announced London Olympics coverage coming up on both Foxtel and Channel 9, dissect the ratings, and fill you in with what's about to happen with … [Read more...]

MolksTVTalk the Podcast – Alan Brough Special

Alan Brough - Wild Life At The Zoo

I've been looking forward to the opportunity to speak with Alan Brough for some time (after all, he was the hold-out Ginger Spice of the SPICKS AND SPECKS crew). Now that he's busy narrating the new animal documentary WILD LIFE AT THE ZOO for ABC1, the excuses could no longer remain valid. I knew Alan was funny. I'd seen it on the telly, heard him on the radio and read his work before. While he's busy being Dad I stole 20 valuable minutes from him to discuss life in a zoo, parodying Sir David Attenborough, the legalized prostitution of animals, monkeys called Trevor, our collective stance on immigration, cloning and echidna sex. Also, … [Read more...]

MolksTVTalk the Podcast – S02E13 – Logies Live Event

Hamish Blake - 2012 Gold Logie winner

Congratulations to Hamish Blake, winner of the 2012 Gold Logie award. Blake beat out an impressive list of nominees including 2011 winner Karl Stefanovic, dual 2012 silver Logie winner Adam Hills, 2012 silver Logie winner Asher Keddie, Carrie Bickmore and Esther Anderson. It capped off what was a VERY long broadcast filled with the usual lengthy speeches, gaffes, mediocre performances and controversy. The Logies is always enjoyable though halfway through you realise it's very late and there's still so much of it to go! Certainly Channel 9 need to look at broadcasting the program live in future years so as to save from spoilers (be they … [Read more...]

Raising Hope

Oh. Em. Gee. Boy do we at MolksTVTalk know how to jump on a bandwagon. You may look in One Direction, but we'll point you in the other One Direction. #1D. And so forth. With the Logies all but upon us there was lots to talk about there, including the recording of our very special Logies LIVE podcast this coming Sunday night. It's sure to be fun, so if you're in Brisbane/South East Queensland make sure you come down and watch the show and join in the podcasting fun. There's also a crapload* of new programs about to start and we had to make sure you were aware. So be aware, people. Foxtel also did some stuff worth mentioning, some people … [Read more...]

The 2012 Molkies

With thanks to Josh we captured a lot of the action of the 2012 Molkies, including interviews with those that attended and award winners. Everyone's got an opinion when it comes to TV and it was good to hear them shared throughout the evening. On this week's show: We congratulate the winners, commiserate with the losers, and "party on!" with everyone who came along on the night. As always there's time to drop in some news of the week and our Must Watch recommendations at the end (some recommendations are better than others). Keep in touch with us - you can e-mail podcasts@molkstvtalk.com, tweet either Josh or SteveMolk and we'll give … [Read more...]

120329-Podcast-Title

We sound very pretty today. Not a Kasey Chambers kind of pretty enough, but pretty nonetheless. Searching for a sugar daddy paid off and from this week on we have actual microphones and recording gear and we sound almost semi-amateur. We think, anyway. Given it's the final week of the first part of ratings for 2012 we did discuss what was great and what was EXCESS BAGGAGE this year. You make your calls and see if you agree with us. There's also a huge Q&A session towards the end of the podcast where we answer all sorts of questions (none of them accurately), so if you asked, it was answered. On this week's show: The 2012 MOLKIES. … [Read more...]

MolksTVTalk the Podcast – S02E09

Adam Zwar

Welcome to the business end of the first portion of the 2012 ratings year - nearly time to breathe a sigh of relief and eat some chocolate. Before we do that though, there's lots to discuss and dissect, not least of which the 2012 Logies nominations and the surprises contained therein (Hamish Blake nominated for the Gold Logie?! Surely you jest, TV Week?). There's a bunch of shows ending and a whole lot of others starting so grab a beverage and settle into the usual sparkling repartee you've come to expect from SteveMolk & Josh. On this week's show: THE SHIRE laps up the controversy. (1:34) It's the final week of 2012 MOLKIES voting! … [Read more...]
