MEET THE MOVIE CRITICS JEFFREY LYONS & BEN LYONS
SATURDAY, OCT 5  3:30PM VIN DE SYRAH

An intergenerational give-and-take between America’s only father-son movie critics. Are movie critics still relevant? How has social media and sites like “Rotten Tomatoes” changed the equation? How do you write a cogent 2:00 TV review of a film which took years to make?
Jeffrey Lyons, has been a movie critic for 43 years and has reviewed nearly 15,000 films at nearly every network including NBC, PBS, ABC, Tribune, Lifetime, co-hosted three national movie review shows and currently
hosts “LYONS DEN RADIO”. 
He’ll debate his son Ben Lyons, currently a correspondent on “EXTRA” and an ESPN LA radio co-host and formerly E!’s movie critic and a “GMA” contributor.
