Fifty years is a long time. Much has happened. Much has changed. Fifty years ago the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival began at a legendary movie theatre. Later it overcame a fire, an historic blizzard, and a plague. It overcame changing demographics, and rapidly evolving technologies. We have gone from seeing movies only in movie theatre to being able to catch a blockbuster while riding on a bus. Authors Robert Viagas and Harry Lohr, Jr passionately recount their adventure in creating a history of America's longest running genre film festival - The 50th Boston Science Fiction Film Festival & Marathon, Host: Garen Daly

Good movies have good actors. Better movies have better actors. They're called character actors. No longer typed as gangster or slapstick comedian, modern character actors show, range, understand psychology and film history. Listen in as film commentators Alexis den Boggende & Oscar Goff join MC Garen Daly in zoom through JK Simmons, Angela Bassett, Steve Buscemi, Brad Dourif and Paul GIamatti as five such examples. A fun, insightful podcast produced by Boston SciFi, Garen Daly is the MC.

Memory implants, replicants, alternative realities, and fake reality - these are some of the elements that make stories by Philip K Dick resonant decades after his death, and what makes them fodder for 'high concept' Hollywood films. Join author/crtic Hope Madden & film programmer Melissa Starker as Boston SciFi Presents UNIVERSAL MEMORIES: The Films of Philip K Dick. Garen Daly is the host, who apologies in advance for getting Harlan Ellison and Philip K Dick mixed up in his addled brain.

Also please note, Boston SciFi uses movie clips to illustrate points discussed. Sometimes there will be sound, but no voices.
