Podcast appearances and mentions of ty burr

This episode is a first for Decoder Ring: a live show, recorded at the WBUR Festival in Boston, Massachusetts. Given the setting, we decided to take on a Boston-based cultural mystery: namely, the “Boston movie.” Beginning in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Hollywood has churned out a whole cycle of films drenched in Beantown's particularities, crimes, crops, class conflicts, and accents, from The Departed to The Town. Why does a city smaller than El Paso or Jacksonville loom so large in the cinematic imagination? Why does Boston have a movie subgenre all its own? What makes a Boston movie a Boston movie? With the help of three guests—film critic Ty Burr; Lisa Simmons, founder of the Roxbury International Film Festival; and Boston University linguist Danny Erker—we look closely at the history and heyday of the Boston movie: how The Friends of Eddie Coyle set the template, Good Will Hunting shoved the door wide open, and Mystic River ushered in an imperial phase. We discuss the importance of race and class to the Boston movie and the city itself, the role of homegrown movie stars like Ben Affleck and Mark Wahlberg, and, of course, the best and worst of Boston accents on film. This episode of Decoder Ring was produced by Willa Paskin and Max Freedman. Our team also includes Katie Shepherd and supervising producer Evan Chung. Merritt Jacob is Slate's Technical Director.  If you have any cultural mysteries you want us to decode, please email us at DecoderRing@slate.com, or leave a message on our hotline at 347-460-7281.

The Walk of Fame is the story of Hollywood, the film industry. and the very origin of stardom itself.Reporter/producer Gillian Jacobs (Community, Winning Time) takes us on a stroll on the Walk of Fame, which chronicles Hollywood history and the vicissitudes of fame itself.Walk of Fame

"It will warm the hearts of a lot of people, including a lot of Academy voters. Is it the best picture of the year? A) Too early to tell, and B) No, but, really, it's fine." Ty Burr of Ty Burr's Watch List damning with faint praise... which is more than one host can muster for the latest throwback to Miramar Oscar schlock of the 90s. Instead he'd rather talk about how to use a random sequence of singing that involves Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph. Not Kenneth Branagh. This movie is crap.

NASA researchers found that climate change may affect the production of rice as early as 2030. Among those trying to mitigate the losses is Pamela Ronald, who helped develop a new strain of rice that can survive weeks of flooding. She joins us. Film critic Ty Burr shares a list of film recommendations for films (and one TV show) that are available via streaming.

On this week's episode, Sonny talks to Scott Tobias, formerly of The AV Club and The Dissolve, about his new Substack endeavor with Keith Phipps, The Reveal, as well as the evolving world of film criticism. With so many local newspapers cutting back on movie reviewers for budgetary reasons and so many websites merely hitting the most popular of topics to generate clicks, it's interesting—and, frankly, heartening—to see Substack using their Pro program to help critics like Tobias and Phipps (along with Ty Burr and Jerry Saltz) stand up their own newsletters to chase their own idiosyncratic interests. Can the “Thousand True Fans” theorem save the world of interesting film writing?

"American Utopia" is an unusual Broadway musical from Talking Heads frontman David Byrne, featuring new songs as well as old favorites from the rock band.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 18, 2021 is: peruse • puh-ROOZ • verb 1 a : to examine or consider with attention and in detail : study b : to look over or through in a casual or cursory manner 2 : read; especially : to read over in an attentive or leisurely manner Examples: Dmitri perused the menu while we waited for a table. "Your best friend here is eBird.org, a crowd-sourced website managed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, where birders file checklists and where you can peruse a map of hot spots (ebird.org/hotspots) to find out what's been seen near you in recent days." — Ty Burr, The Boston Globe, 1 Apr. 2021 Did you know? Peruse has long been a literary word, used by such famous authors as William Shakespeare, Alfred Tennyson, and Thomas Hardy, and it tends to have a literary flavor even in our time. Peruse can suggest paying close attention to something, but it can also simply mean "to read." The "read" sense, which is not especially new and was in fact included in Samuel Johnson's 1755 dictionary, has drawn some criticism over the years for being too broad. Some commentators have recommended that peruse be reserved for reading with great care and attention to detail. But the fact remains that peruse is often used in situations where a simple "read" definition could be easily substituted. It may suggest either an attentive read or a quick scan.

Our second ep in a row with the I Don't Even Own A Television crew features JW Friedman -- and a much better, fizzier film all around, despite dragging us back to Nawlins and almost going full zydeco. This "nearly totally frictionless" caper is "a happier flavor of so-so" than we anticipated, but we still have questions, like whether the Coens are secret Quaidheads, if/how Herbert Ross directs his actors, what an Ocean's Two would look like, and why we're being punished with a combination of Vince McMahon hair, Reagan voice, and Trump smug smile on DQ.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 1, 2021 is: gadabout • GAD-uh-bout • noun : a person who goes from place to place in social activity Examples: "He always thought death was just around the corner. He had no time to waste. As a young man he had been a gadabout, without focus. 'Where some in his situation would have found God, Stephen [Hawking] found physics,' says Mlodinow." — Marcus Berkmann, The Daily Mail (UK), 24 Sept. 2020 "Here's where [Bill] Murray enters the picture as Laura's father, Felix, a semi-retired art dealer and jet-setting gadabout who returns to town just in time to be the devil on his daughter's shoulder." — Ty Burr, The Boston Globe, 30 Sept. 2020 Did you know? If you had to pick the insect most closely related to a gadabout, you might wryly guess the "social butterfly." But there's another bug that's commonly heard buzzing around discussions of the gadabout: the gadfly. Gadfly is a term used for any of a number of winged pests (such as horseflies) that bite or annoy livestock. Since gadflies are known for their nasty bite, it's not surprising that they are named after a sharp chisel or pointed bar used by miners to loosen rock and ore called a "gad." But, although a gadabout's gossip can bite, gadfly doesn't have any clear etymological relation to gadabout, which traces back to the Middle English verb gadden, whose etymology etymologists are still trying to catch.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 1, 2021 is: reprise • rih-PREEZ • noun 1 a : a musical repetition: (1) : the repetition of the exposition preceding the development (2) : the third section of a sonata form : recapitulation b : a repeated performance : repetition 2 : a recurrence, renewal, or resumption of an action 3 : a deduction or charge made yearly out of a manor or estate Examples: "What was sweet and touching and only slightly comic in its original presentation becomes ridiculous in its reprise. It is the same song, and it is not." — Steve Swayne, How Sondheim Found His Sound, 2005 "Belushi, a new film…, tells us everything we might want to know about the late, great John Belushi's life and more, and yet the final minutes felt to me like a virtual reprise of Amy, the 2015 Amy Winehouse documentary, and other tales of fallen celebrity." — Ty Burr, The Boston Globe, 18 Nov. 2020 Did you know? When reprise was first adopted into English in the 15th century, it referred to a deduction or charge made yearly out of a manor or estate (and was usually used in the plural form reprises). It probably won't surprise you, then, to learn that reprise comes from an Anglo-French word meaning "seizure, repossession, or expense." Eventually, reprise came to refer to any action that was repeated or resumed. A later sense, borrowed from modern French, applies to specific types of repetition in musical compositions. That sense was eventually generalized to describe any subsequent and identical performance. It's possible, for example, to have a reprise of a television program or a book.

Guillermo del Toro didn't write or direct this movie. Neither did J.M. Barrie. But, their legacies cast long shadows over the haunting story of worried mother Laura, her lost son Simon and all his imaginary friends on the windswept northern coast of Spain. Also, would you rather see Tommy Wiseau star alongside a kaiju or the pale man from Pan's Labyrinth?  Motion Picture Terror Scale: 3 (Marcus & Melissa), 4- (Grady). Quality: 5.

Inspired by our partnering with the Massachusetts Historical Society for a program focusing on the dichotomy of Boston's image in Hollywood films, we begin a three part series with a selection of pictures that could be called "The Boston Crime Wave," or, as Boston Globe film critic Ty Burr calls this subgenera, "Boston Triple Decker Films," or, as Boston crime novelist Chuck Hogan refers to them, "Boston No-R movies." We explore what these films get right and what they get wrong in how they depict and use our fair city in geographical, character, and thematic terms.

This week we chat with filmmaker Shane Anderson about which of life's truths can be gleaned from the almost-Oscar-winning movie musical - La La Land!Writing for The Boston Globe in December 2016, Ty Burr summarized the effectiveness of the film to relate to audiences stating: "...the movie traffics in the bittersweet happiness of treasuring things that are vanishing, like the unrealized future imagined in the climatic dance number, or those inky, star-filled dance floors that go on forever in old movies, or Hollywood musicals themselves. Or jazz: Sebastian has an early moment at a nightclub where he passionately sticks up for the music he loves. 'It's dying on the vine,' he says. 'And the world says 'Let it die. It had its time.' Well, not on my watch.' In that scene, he speaks for the director. By the end of 'La La Land,' he's speaking for all of us."- FURTHER READING -Wikihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_La_Land_(film)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damien_Chazellehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiplash_(2014_film)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accolades_received_by_La_La_LandIMDbhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt3783958/iTuneshttps://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/la-la-land/id1179249419Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/album/3GU8BzFEAdFSRjc8jZkL3SLike us on Facebook!

Adnan gets accredited, reviews A Star is Born (3:52) and Private Life (10:30), and chats with actor/director Ike Barinholtz (13:40) and film critic Ty Burr (21:24).

On this week's podcast, actor/director Mark Duplass discusses his new book, “Like Brothers”, written with his brother, Jay. Mark also talks about his role in the new film “Tully” with Charlize Theron. Plus, Boston Globe film critic Ty Burr gives us  summer movie preview.    

Is 3D dying, are movie theatres dead and is Google immortal? Our minds have been filled with many thoughts this week (for a change) and, lucky for you, a few of those thoughts escaped into this podcast. How many times have you had a bad experience at a movie theater recently? Well, if you're like us it's probably more than you care to admit and frankly we're fed up with it. And thanks to 3D it's been getting worse! Ty Burr of the Boston Globe is trying to get the word out so we thought we'd help him and add a little ourselves. Plus, Google tries to one-up Facebook with its new Plus 1 button and Michael J. Fox finally tells me 'The Secret of My Success'. Thanks Mike. All this and more is just a click of the play button away.
