Actor Wes Chatham and novelist/screenwriter Ty Franck, of the hit Amazon Prime series THE EXPANSE, speak to a collection of creatives and creators about the art, movies, books, and ideas that inspire them.
The Ty & That Guy podcast is a must-listen for fans of The Expanse and lovers of film and television. Hosted by Ty Franck, the co-creator of The Expanse, and Wes Chatham, one of the stars of the show, this podcast offers a unique behind-the-scenes perspective on the making of The Expanse as well as insightful discussions about various films and TV shows.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the chemistry between Ty and Wes. Their friendship shines through in every episode, creating a warm and enjoyable atmosphere. Their banter is both entertaining and humorous, keeping listeners engaged throughout. Additionally, their love for cinema is evident, making their discussions about movies and TV shows not just informative but also passionate.
Another great aspect of this podcast is the range of topics covered. While The Expanse is a central focus, they also delve into other genres and films. From discussing iconic movies like Indiana Jones to exploring themes of time travel in Die Hard, they provide thought-provoking insights that go beyond just The Expanse content.
Additionally, the inclusion of guests adds depth to the podcast. Whether it's actors from The Expanse or industry professionals like cinematographers or writers, their interviews offer a deeper understanding of the creative process behind film and television production.
However, one downside to this podcast is that some episodes may not be as appealing to listeners who are not familiar with The Expanse. While there are episodes that don't revolve around The Expanse, occasional references or discussions about specific scenes or characters may make it difficult for new listeners to fully engage with those particular episodes.
In conclusion, The Ty & That Guy podcast is a delightful blend of behind-the-scenes insights into The Expanse and engaging discussions about various films and TV shows. With the natural chemistry between Ty Franck and Wes Chatham driving the show forward, it's an entertaining listen for fans who want more from The Expanse and those who simply enjoy thought-provoking conversations about cinema.
