At Beyond The Box Set, we believe every great movie deserves a questionable sequel. Each week, we take a stand-alone cinema classic and compete to come up with the best, worst and most bizarre pitches to bring them back to the big screen.

We were in dire need of a comedy palate cleanser after sitting through the dreadful 'Sausage Party' for last week's episode, so John decided that the time was right to bring out an all-time favourite. Death Becomes Her is probably the only movie that gives you two Oscar-winning actresses rising from the grave and beating each other over the head with shovels.
Directed by the always visually inventive Robert Zemeckis, what Death Becomes Her lacks in subtlety, it more than makes up for in crazed, campy and endlessly quotable entertainment. Join us as we discuss warring divas, Isabella Rosellini going full panto and why we love Bruce Willis playing cartoonishly against type.
We also put our heads together to pitch some belated sequel ideas, which this week include a global immortality epidemic, the return of the shadowy Big Daddy corporation and a conspiracy theory involving another iconic - and strangely ageless - Hollywood A-Lister.

At Beyond The Box Set, we believe that every great movie deserves a faintly unnecessary sequel. Each week, our two hosts take a look at a classic standalone feature film and compete to pitch the most ridiculous sequel, prequel or spin-off ideas to bring them back to the big screen.
