The year is 1998. Michael Keaton plays an absent father who, after being tragically killed on his way home for Christmas, reincarnates in the form of a wisecracking snowman in order to re-connect with his traumatised son. Sounds like a movie with all the makings of a feelgood seasonal classic, right? Wrong...

A notorious festive turkey that critics dubbed 'grotesque' 'creepy' and 'almost unwatchable', Jack Frost received an equally chilly reception at the box office, and endures now only due to its reputation as one of the worst and most wrongheaded family movies ever made.

So, naturally, we just couldn't wait to talk about it. Tune into this week's podcast to hear us sound off on 15 minute musical sequences, tin-eared dialogue, the inexplicable logistics of possessing the body of a snowman and much more.

Beyond The Box Set is a weekly podcast that takes an affectionately satirical look at the rise of franchise culture. Each week, we spotlight a classic standalone movie and compete to pitch the most ridiculous sequel, prequel or spin-off ideas to bring them back to the big screen.

You can find our show on all good pod catchers, including iTunes, Spotify, aCast, Stitcher and more. We're also available on Patreon and Teepublic, where you'll find fabulous bonus content and exclusive merchandise respectively. Don't forget to leave us a rating and review as well, it really helps the show to find new listeners. Merry Christmas!
