This week on The Lebenthal Report we are excited to welcome Ty Burr. Ty Burr was a film critic and pop culture columnist for The Boston Globe for two decades, from 2002 to 2021. He currently writes "Ty Burr's Watch List" (tyburrswatchlist.substack.com), a popular e-newsletter for movie and TV recommendations—including streaming ones—and cultural commentary. He is the author of the critically acclaimed books Gods Like Us: On Movie Stardom and Modern Fame (2013) and The Best Old Movies for Families (2007), and the e-book The 50 Movie Starter Kit: What to Know if You Want to Know What You're Talking About (2013). During the 1980s, he programmed movies for HBO/Cinemax. As a senior writer and editor for Entertainment Weekly throughout the 1990s, he wrote reviews and features and oversaw the magazine's initial coverage of, and forays into, the Internet and new media. A member of the National Society of Film Critics and the Boston Society of Film Critics, Ty teaches courses in film and criticism at Boston University and Emerson College. In 2017, he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Criticism.
