Please excuse my silly interjection. Anyone here seen Netlix's latest inhouse production - produced by the Wachowski's and Straczynski (Babylon 5), the scifi action show Sense8 ?

As I understand it, a Visiting Assistant Professor (VAP) doesn't need to be connected with an institution.

I only recall that set-up from Demolition Man's horrific future where ad jingles were popular music and swearing in unapproved words garnered you a ticket.

A better hard science sic-fi movie is Europa Report. If you haven't seen it, check it out. It's a low budget indie and the format is mockumentary, so it's not spectacular the way Interstellar is, but it has very realistic special effects, decent performances, and it's well written.
