Then it\\u2019s the Boston SciFi Film Festival, with PROXIMA (38:06) leading off the discussion, followed by THE LONG WALK (47:48), a horror/sci-fi movie featuring an older man and a ghost who helps him to travel through time, and the fallout that results from it. Finally it\'s AFTER WE LEAVE (55:10), a dystopian future flick that has some good elements and not so good elements
