blank check podcast presents: sunshine
at metrograph march 19

For one night only, Blank Check podcasters Griffin Newman and David Sims join Metrograph to present a personal favorite, Danny Boyle’s 2007 sci-fi thriller Sunshine, in honor of their latest series Trainspodcasting: The Films of Danny Boyle.

“Sunshine is the film that almost broke Danny Boyle, though it might also be the pinnacle of his ambitious, wide-ranging career, a sci-fi adventure that squeezes every dollar of its robust budget but is told with the indie fiendishness that had put him on the map. It sees a glittery international ensemble including Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Michelle Yeoh, Rose Byrne, and Hiroyuki Sanada try to save the world by rebooting our dying sun; as they get closer and closer, Alex Garland’s script fleshes out how that heavenly body wreaks havoc on the psyches of the puny humans trying to contend with it.”-David Sims, Blank Check
