Ty & That Guy Ep 045 -

[@earlofsked6991]

Thank God. When Wes said this was the last Ty and That Guy on the Amazon aftershow for S06E06 I feared the worst. Always finish what you started. Including adapting books 7-9. Hint hint lol

[@PluckySmurf]

I'm still worried about that last show comment. We don't really know how far ahead these episodes are recorded. ie: the discussion about Leviathan Falls releasing "tomorrow". This episode was obviously recorded in November. 😬

[@tweetyericsson]

@@PluckySmurf Yeah these are old. I suppose the s06 aftershow is even older

[@PluckySmurf]

@@tweetyericsson The season 6 aftershows are more apt to be the newest of the bunch.

[@robertcavanna789]

he gave us all heart attacks. Even Ty, i think. a bit.

[@marklancaster5784]

Thanks to you both for going the extra mile. with these podcasts after the show. (we still like seeing your smiling face)

[@KonfusedKris]

I hope they continue deepdiving into discussions about s5 and s6, even though they had aftershows for those seasons.. These podcasts are such a gift for the dozens of us who listen to it!

[@charlesbeaudry3263]

You mean all 8 of you? LOL.

[@jamesmule]

1:01:29 Storms such as the one depicted in the beginning of the Martian don't happen on Mars, because its atmosphere is so whispy. Andy Weir called it one of the biggest concessions he made regarding realism. Storms in general do happen, which sometimes encompass half the planet in a dusty haze, but there would be no noticeable force blowing on any human. Such storms are estimated to occur once every three Martian years.

[@NickKharchenko]

Interesting point, thanks

[@lorave420]

I would LOVE a Rick and Morty episode! Wes, do catch up on it, you're not gonna regret it :D Also, i think I read somewhere that the entire duststorm in the martian is actually extremely unrealistic, but idk how accurate that is. And finally, "Anybody who doesnt think Putin is just a mobster is crazy. The dude is just a mobster. He happens to run a whole country, but he's a mobster." -Ty Franck, 2022. I LOVE you Ty.

[@jorgeespinoza7845]

“I didn’t say anything bad about Putin!” - Wes Chatham 2022, we will remember this comrade.

[@Ambious]

That aged weirdly

[@friedaha6857]

I adore Ty's take on Groundhog Day! I watch it the same way, being immortal and thinking of all the things I could learn if the day kept repeating.

[@PluckySmurf]

This podcast is great for the posterity/legacy of The Expanse. I hope you finish all the seasons and keep going. I'd enjoy it if you watched the whole series again. Fuck knows I've watched all of the seasons several times. 🤓

[@OceanHedgehog]

27:00 Yes, please get more of the actors on to speak about the episodes! I'd love if Terry Chen, Elizabeth Mitchell, Anna Hopkins, Florence Faivre, Thomas Jane, Chad Coleman, and Shawn Doyle (most of the actors who left the show before the podcast started) could be interviewed!!!

[@PluckySmurf]

Thomas Jane has done an episode. It was a great conversation. Or maybe you want him on again, which I'm totally down with. 🙂

[@MrDlenrek]

Yep Thomas Jane was one of the first ones and was a great interview and got me hooked

[@OceanHedgehog]

@@PluckySmurf (Yes, let's bring him back, can never get enough Thomas Jane :) )

[@Triskaan]

I'd love to hear Elizabeth Mitchell and Terry Chen talk with Ty and Wes.

[@OceanHedgehog]

@@Triskaan Yeah, especially because their respective characters were so important to Amos' character arc in both halves of Season 3.

[@Musicvault2k6]

A great Conan quote: "Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing."

[@Michelle-cz1vj]

Please don’t go. Please stay and do more videos. I love to hear you guys talk about your love of movies. Please 😭

[@CultureAgent]

Great to see the bandwagon still rolling; how else are we going to hear about another series somewhere....Sometime. Fingers crossed.

[@spencergillett3764]

I about shit when Wes said this was the last one on the last episode of season 6's show. I'm glad they're still going.

[@EMSBoys]

While it was less well known when John Ford started shooting there, Monument Valley was no secret. Ford certainly put it on the map, but thankfully its status as a sacred area of the Navajo Nation has preserved it largely intact, with limited access, to this day. Back in 1968, it showed up in two of my favourite films. Sergio Leone used it as is for the backdrop of "Once Upon A Time in the West". Kubrick used it for some of the colour-tinted landscapes David Bowman witnesses as he flies through the Stargate.

[@PluckySmurf]

Thanks for this. It was something I was going to Google.

[@yensid4294]

Cibola Burn which roughly aligned with season 4 was very much a Western Frontier type of story so I'm glad they were able to convey that via the cinematography. 👍 Just finished Leviathan Falls & I don't know how you guys would ever adapt that story for the big or small screen. I mean WOW!

[@sharpeslass5452]

I hope they try!

[@0mikr0n]

About Wes's "accidentally thought I'm in a loop day" idea, Johnny Bravo did that. He saw the VCR timer blinking 12:00, and later kept coincidentally encountering people who were standing very still, so he started committing crimes until he ended up getting arrested.

[@RobertBeckk]

Fucking hilarious.

[@earlofsked6991]

You guys have to have a top 5 of the best TV finales of all time for episode 68. I know it's almost 6 months away but thought I'd plant the seed now. Please continue your podcast after you're done with the expanse episodes. I could listen to you guys talk about movies and pop culture all day long. Taki.

[@earlofsked6991]

My top 5: The Wire Mr Robot The Expanse Breaking Bad Silicon Valley

[@OffRampTourist]

Great list idea! Mine might be: The Good Place Fringe Dark Angel Disjointed The Kominsky Method. The Expanse finale is great and completely satisfying but really isn't the end.

[@roanz1668]

#9 here, and I just want to thank you both for all you have done in making The Expanse the masterpiece of a television show that we all love.

[@dominicdoyle2895]

Great podcast. Amazing show. Great writer. Great actor. Thank you for keeping this going and look forward to many more podcasts and seasons of the expanse…please😉

[@june5527]

Ultimate cowboy shot - Charles Bronson, Once Upon a Time in the West.

[@aaronchowdhury2706]

You guys are great and extremely charismatic! Please continue these podcasts I am sure your audience will skyrocket soon.

[@brotherjustincrowe]

Humphrey Bogart LOATHED intellectual peacocks and would relentlessly troll them.

[@m.m3954]

I really enjoy this podcast. Thank you for making these.

[@RichardClarkeJerk]

Ford and Wayne shot most of their westerns at Monument Valley, they used to stay at Gouldings Lodge, FWIW. One of the most amazing places on this planet.

[@raymondadams4045]

Love Billy Jack and was shot in my home town Prescott, AZ

[@Laurasiana]

Aww maaaan… How is “The Day the Earth Caught Fire” not on that list?! Despite the pulpy title, it’s one of the best SF films ever made. Low-key, smart, and character-driven. Great stuff!

[@tmmartinesq.6216]

I love Westerns! Cowboy Westerns, Space Westerns, Black Westerns, Asian Westerns, etc, etc, etc.!

[@robertcavanna789]

One of the reasons i love Cibola Burn so much is because of the strong Western Vibe. A dash of Firefly as well. Roci Crew gets to go full Space Cowboy! Even has a legit showdown between Holden and Murtry.

[@NickKharchenko]

Welcome BACK!

[@OffRampTourist]

What joy to see this pop up in my feed!

[@DaniO01]

Thank you so much Ty and Wes for your show! I have enjoyed ever one. Your insights into your industry as well as how those insights and words of wisdom work in every day life! I have had days where you have made me laugh, that laugh I really needed! Thank you.

[@johnchristopherrobert1839]

I loved the book. Parts of it broke my heart though. Thank you 🙏

[@vickieysacoff4249]

I also love The Chronicles of Riddick!

[@68rbouchard]

Me too

[@jamesvega]

a great new Lord of the Flies-esque series that I highly recommend is Yellowjackets

[@ManusDextra]

The greatest western ever made is My Name is Nobody (1973). Officially directed by Tonino Valerii with music by Ennio Morricone, it was developed from a story idea by Sergio Leone. He was also a producer on the movie and directed many scenes himself. The movie was partially filmed in Monument Valley and heavily references John Ford. The movie also heavily references Sam Peckinpah with slow-mo shootouts, etc. And, it throws a lot of shade at Peckinpah too. The main antagonists are an outlaw gang called The Wild Bunch & Peckinpah's name is on a grave marker in the movie... The story goes that Leone wanted to work with Peckinpah, but he refused and Leone didn't take it very well. Personally, I think the collaboration could have only improved Peckinpah...

[@steewith2ees14]

Great to see you back - congratulations on a PERFECT finale - from the end of the 'Strange Dogs' cold open with Xan's proto POV of Cara I was on the edge of my seat. As a UK viewer and fan of Burn Gorman since 2004 I think he would make an amazing guest! Love both you guys and everyone working with you and Daniel to bring this peerless world to life!

[@steewith2ees14]

I am putting GHD straight on as soon as this finishes. I have not seen it in over 2 years and only once before on BD.

[@mcclarinscott]

Yasss! More awesome content! Ty and Daniels brains are SciFi Manna! "En ya na cyan Se top da Messatch" "Du feri da Belt!

[@RCAvhstape]

The sandstorm scene in The Martian is one of the most unrealistic things about the film, and the author of the book admits it. The air pressure on Mars is too low to blow people and equipment around like that even in a strong storm, but the author needed it in order to drive the plot of stranding Watney alone on the planet.

[@Ganiscol]

Man, That Guy made it sound as if these wouldnt happen anymore - it appears there are at least some more in the chamber, waiting to come at us peasants! 😅

[@jpat2493]

Wes likes to rattle the cages.

[@MrDlenrek]

Just the ‘After Show’ made for Amazon . This is back to the T&TG series going through the series with a sprinkling of Special guest episodes. Plans for more for sure, keep watching this space!

[@MrDlenrek]

New episode getting recorded on Friday

[@mitchcowan1446]

Viewer #7 here ;P Makes me happy we can keep this going and season 6 is not the end (till we hear otherwise that is).

[@TerminatorJuice]

I bet Ty and Daniel could write a good horror script without a single moment where characters have to be completely stupid in order to advance the plot of create tension... Please make that shit happen guys!!!

[@V2AEmergencyBroadcastSystem]

episode 0606 was stunning .... please please please season 7 , 8 and 9 :)

[@68rbouchard]

Thanks for shout out!!

[@Drflamerock]

Ooh my, please please do the indy western movie idea! That would be sooo good! Btw, Back to the future would be my number one weather movie.

[@PluckySmurf]

Ooh a movie not mentioned is Crawl. (the alligator movie) The rain and flooding drives the entire crisis. It's a great scary predator movie. Highly recommend. Wizard of Oz doesn't count. Dorothy fell and bumped her head and wakes up in the house at the end. The tornado didn't actually happen. 😉 I've always avoided Groundhog Day because someone told me it was like the Star Trek TNG episode "Cause and Effect" and that repetition with variations got old fast for me. Also, I rewatched Die Hard before xmas for the first time in decades and I went-in extra critical, but it truly is a smart (for the 80s) well crafted and satisfying movie. I will no longer cringe that it makes the list every time. 😁

[@pulsarecho1952]

#1 on Amazon! Hell yes, well done, well deserved. 7:13 For me it was 1985 Silverado western movie (classic Danny Glover), 2006 Seraphim Falls had something special; the 2015 Bone Tomahawk was a nice surprise. 45:10 If the weather is a major obstacle at some point in the plot, shouldn't it be included? Sunshine, Sphere, Event Horizon, The Grey, Flight Of The Phoenix... 25:55 Wes is right about Murtry, in my opinion. Great episode.

[@Marvee78]

The similarities between Lord of the Flies and the situation on Illus is a very good comparison. Thank you for this podcast guys.

[@maskotep]

So glad these are still going!

[@mdanam]

Regarding the comments about peacocking and tough guys. My first martial arts instructor used to say all the time, "it's The Empty Barrel that rattles the loudest. It's The Quiet Ones you need to be concerned about. "

[@gruntag5939]

Loved the books (finished 9 just yesterday) and the series! Great work Ty, Wes and all!

[@maldavis369]

Groundhog Day watch party 🥳 please!!!!!

[@steyefong590]

Please, please, keep TY & That Guy.

[@rodneysmith1750]

Just like you two guys, I am viewer#3 and I don't give up or quit, thanks for your hard work.

[@BadDadOne]

You guy's don't want to quit now , your up to 10 followers!

[@themostexpendable]

Oh man. I’d love to hear Ty’s analysis of all 3 Riddick films. Pitch Black has clear and awesome Alien inspirations. And I have such a soft spot for Chronicles’ wild swings (I just wish it had Dune’s production designer for the armour…), and even the 3rd films wild and mostly silent first act.

[@raymondadams4045]

it was Sedona AZ for Ford's Canyon

[@fredcookerly9385]

Ace: What are you gonna do, shoot all of us? Gordie: No Ace, just you.

[@WraithzulaUnited]

Gosh I guess there's no major weather event in Die Hard.....1. Die Hard 2 on the other hand... (hah, apparently I didn't get far enough into the episode)

[@comanchy]

OMG love me some Groundhog Day! LOL LOL

[@yamagata008]

Thank you for doing this. It is great to see you guys.

[@DocD173]

Oh I’m so glad they’re continuing this! I was gonna be so bummed if they were gonna stop along with the show

[@dougiec3]

I can't believe that the movie (from the book) that became a journalistic and media cliché, "The Perfect Storm", didn't even get a mention.

[@radicalbyte]

I love the lists, but this one was a howler. How can you miss Planes, Trains and Automobiles? Clearly the greatest "weather" driven movie of all time ;)

[@Ganiscol]

I once read to top the NYT best seller list, you got to buy a lot of your own books 😅

[@RCAvhstape]

Chronicles of Riddick is a great kickass movie.

[@voljohe]

The New York Times best seller list is sometimes gamed by rich people buying their own books to get to number one or top ten.

[@loreuniversechannel9984]

Boiled shoes?! NIKES OVER KEDS??!! Your banter, dear friends, is more than a little demented...

[@Ambious]

That storm on Mars is absolutely irregular in that it couldn't happen. It's in fact a huge plot hole, because there's not enough atmosphere on Mars for that. Andy Weir even admitted that it was his one "cheat" he needed to get the plot going.

[@scottwatrous]

That intro countdown was epic tho, damn.

[@kurisuuu48]

I would like to add that the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer-movie from 1998 has a runtime of 1h32, so I'd like to argue that it indeed counts as a movie

[@benway23]

Thank you for your work.

ty I am def the 8th person to be in love with chronicles of riddick (y)

[@ibunkatraining]

A. Thank you for the expanse! My son and I really love it. B. I can't be the first one to pitch you on the idea of a "what if" movie, where Wes is Jack Black's alter ego. Maybe Wes is the cloned and improved version Jack's wife had commissioned after she had enough of his BS. So, hilarity ensues as he tries to reclaim his life and family! Or you make into a super earnest Sci-fi Western...up to you. It's your money!

[@marge5445]

#9: Phew! I was worried for a while that it wasn't coming back. Perhaps I'll get to say that again in the not too distant future.

Rain - 1932 - Joan Crawford, Walter Huston. Title kinda sums it up.

[@colinmorrison5119]

For The Martian, Mars doesn't have the air pressure to knock over rockets or throw heavy debris. The author knew this but made an artistic decision. Since then, lighting has been discovered on Mars, so could have used that instead.

[@ryantendo]

Top movie's gotta be Scorcher VI: Global Meltdown. ...who left the fridge open?

[@rikcoach1]

So have you guys been approached for the movie yet?

[@whereuwannabe7796]

Now that the show is done I'm buying Leviathan Wakes. I was gonna just jump in at book 7 to see what happens with Laconia and the protomolecule. I'm worried I won't like the books that the show were based off or I won't like the show as much after reading the books. But I'm going all in.

[@20storiesunder]

I'd recommend going from book 1 honestly. There's enough changes that it makes more sense to read it all.

[@yensid4294]

If you start with the first book you will understand the character development much better & some of the decisions that are made will make more sense with that knowledge

[@PluckySmurf]

You won't regret it. The whole series is good, and having seen the show first will probably give you an advantage about the significance of certain events. Enjoy!!

[@ericcoskun1]

When was this podcast filmed? Ty and Wes did a 606 series finale podcast just 4 days ago and Wes was clean shaven, so obviously this episode was filmed before then.

[@PluckySmurf]

Had to be in November. They spoke about the release date of Leviathan Falls as a current event.

[@DBoycee91]

well they said that book 9 was just released so this would of been filmed around the 30th of November, also i think they filmed season 6s aftershows after filiming wrapped up

[@DBStarr7]

#Wes Do catch Billy Jack, if able. At the time, there was no such thing as martial arts based fight scenes. It was "put up your dukes" stuff. The flick is dated as heck, now, but still worth a look just so you can say "you have"!

[@RCAvhstape]

Oh yes, you must do a Die Hard episode.

Ok, The "New West", do something about Alaska.
