Joshua Tyler is one of the earliest internet pioneers, having worked in the online media industry since the late 90s as one of the internet’s first successful movie bloggers. His first-ever published article appeared on IGN in 1997 and has long since vanished into the ancient mists of the early internet.
After working as a Rotten Tomatoes-approved, syndicated newspaper critic and an editor for outlets such as FilmCritic.com, Creative Screen Writing Magazine, and MonstersAndCritics.com, Josh started his own entertainment news website called CINEMABLEND in 2001.
CINEMABLEND became one of the top 4000 most visited websites in the world. As a result, in 2007, Josh was chosen as one of Time Magazine’s most influential and critically clever movie journalists on the internet.
In 2008 Josh Tyler founded GIANT FREAKIN ROBOT, a news and opinion site focused not only on entertainment but also on important topics like science and technology. In spite of its silly name, GIANT FREAKIN ROBOT is also now often ranked one of the top 4,000 most visited websites in the world.
Josh exited CINEMABLEND after a successful acquisition in 2015 and in 2020 formed GIANT FREAKIN ROBOT’s parent company Walk Big.
