The Net 2: The Trial of Mozart‘s Ghost
Sunday Jun 13, 2021
Sunday Jun 13, 2021
Back in the 1990s, the world had a vague idea of how the internet might look - and that image inspired a range of movies! First up - the Net, a classic Sandra Bullock thriller with a very loose grip on reality!
From chat room politics to the mechanics of 90s viruses, we break it all down in this week's very special episode!

Tune in to hear our thoughts on:
The Father
Judas and the Black Messiah
Mank
Minari
Nomadland
Promising Young Woman
Sound of Metal
The Trial of the Chicago Seven
and much more!

Thursday Dec 31, 2020
It's time to say goodbye to the hell year that was 2020 - but before we go, we're taking one final look back at the films we watched this year.
Cinemas may have closed, but we still managed to seek out a fair few new releases this year, from the Oscar class of 2019 to the increasingly ambitious efforts from Netflix, Disney+ and other dominant streaming platforms.
Tune in to hear out thoughts on everything we saw together, and apart, over the past twelve months. As always, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for staying with us - we look forward to another year of classic movies and ill-advised sequels in 2021.
See you on the other side!

BONUS | Movies of 2018 Reviewed... With Sequels! (Part One)
Wednesday Jan 02, 2019
Wednesday Jan 02, 2019
In addition to pitching sequels to old films, we also watched a lot of new releases in 2018. So we thought we'd end the year with a look back at everything we caught at the cinema over the past 12 months, while also attempting to pitch some very quick sequel ideas for them.
This was a very silly idea that turned into a literal all-nighter, so we've split the results into two parts. Here's part one, in which we ran down everything we saw between January and June. Spoilers abound, obviously!

Tuesday Mar 06, 2018
After a long night of drinking games, we present the most hung-over episode of Beyond The Box Set to date, our annual post-Oscars reaction podcast!
Did the right films win? Could anything top the Moonlight/La La Land Best Picture fiasco from last year's show? Will Harry get to the end of this podcast without passing out in a pool of his own vomit? The answer to all these questions and more can be found in this, the final part of our 2018 Academy Awards bonus trilogy!
