S09E12 Grief porn, THE BIGGEST LOSER, and BLUEY gives us the sign of things to come
Episode 12
Tuesday, 16 April, 2024
This week there was not enough time for us to adequately cover the full breadth and depth of even these topics:As quickly as the horror unfolded at what became the tragedy of WESTFIELD BONDI JUNCTION, so too the TV networks leapt into rolling coverage. Well, most did. The ABC ignored it, and Seven had the horses to finish running (with the latter managing to name the wrong person as the perpetrator). AND THEN they milked it for all it was worth through Sunday and Monday. Nothing like a bit of GRIEF PORN to help people simultaneously remember and forget.Come Monday, Justice Michael Lee delivered his judgement on the BRUCE LEHRMANN v CHANNEL 10/LISA WILKINSON DEFAMATION CASE. Wow. WOW. Molk offered his opinions on the winners and losers were, and the implications of the Justice's findings. The biggest loser? Bruce Lehrmann by a country mile and a hat.After the impassioned conversation on last week's podcast ep, so much has happened even within the corral at 7NEWS SPOTLIGHT. The collateral damage of Seven being dragged into the Lehrmann/10 defo case by former producer Taylor Auerbach is that executive producer MARK LLEWELLYN has terminated his relationship with the Seven Network, and the Network snuck the release out during Justice Lee's reading of his summary judgement. Will the show continue, and how does the 7News brand recover?The best documentary about a family of cartoon dogs has wrapped up...or has it? Speculation around BLUEY and her future continues to swirl, with nothing by spin from the ABC and silence from creators Ludo Studios. The benefit of the 28 minute episode airing Sunday past is that it now holds the title of "highest rating program in VOZ history" (total audience average). SO WHAT NOW?!Another glorious instalment of the TV BINGEBOX rounds us out (upmolks and downmolks aplenty). Join in the fun and comment below to share what have you been watching...We're so glad you watched or listened this latest episode of the TV BLACKBOX Podcast - that's firteen, firteen, firty-two.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/tv-blackbox.
