- Biography:
- Ed Symkus has been reviewing films and writing about the arts since 1975. He currently reviews and writes about film and music for The Boston Globe and The Arts Fuse. He also has a weekly 15-minute film review slot on and on WCAP-AM (980 on your dial, and streaming at https://980wcap.com) in Lowell, MA. A Boston-based Emerson College graduate, he co-created and co-hosted “Wrestle Radio, USA” on WMSX-AM in Brockton, MA, for just shy of five years, co-wrote the book “Wrestle Radio, USA: Grapplers Speak,” and recently completed editing "Russ Meyer Interviews" for University Press of Mississippi. He has visited the Outer Hebrides, the Lofoten Islands, Anglesey, Kangaroo Island, and the Isle of Capri with his wife Lisa. His favorite movie is “And Now My Love” by Claude Lelouch. He does not like the movie “Liquid Sky.” He can be seen for five seconds in the Michael Wadleigh film “Woodstock,” but only if you really squint.
