Sunshine: A Toy Story in Space

Is Danny Boyle's Sunshine one of the most underrated sci-fi movies of the past decade, or just a boring Sigourney-free version of Alien? Join us as we discuss space botany, weirdly breathy computer voices and heavy-handed character death foreshadowing, all while consistently mispronouncing Cillian Murphy's name. 

Of course we also get around to pitching some fantasy sequel ideas, which this week include a Red Dwarf-inspired look at what Mark Strong's Pinbacker got up to while he was waiting around to be a convenient third-act villain, and a surprisingly convincing pitch that this movie should form the basis of the forthcoming fourth Toy Story movie...

Every week on Beyond The Box Set, we take a classic standalone movie and compete to pitch the most ridiculous sequel, prequel or remake ideas to bring them back to the big screen. Our show is available for free streaming and download from all major Podcasting platforms including iTunes, Stitcher, aCast, Podbean and Google Play. Hit subscribe for a new episode every Friday morning. 

Got an idea for a sequel to a film we've covered? Seen a film you'd like to hear us talk about? You can get in touch with us on most major social media channels including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. If you just want to tell us how awesome we are, why not do it in the form of an iTunes review? It really helps us out and we'll totally love you forever.
