Sunshine

The time has come for us to board the Icarus II (awful name for a spaceship) and stare directly into the sun. First mentioned as a movie that rules way back when we were only a podcast about the Star Wars Prequels, Griffin and David finally get to cover Danny Boyle\u2019s 2007 Science Fiction flop SUNSHINE. We\u2019re getting into everything - the iconic score, the brilliantly restrictive use of colors, the hot scientist named Brian Cox (not Logan Roy) who served as a model for Cillian Murphy\u2019s character, and the film\u2019s very controversial third act. Staring into the sun? Bad idea. Taking the time to re-appraise this forgotten gem?
