    Great podcast
    Just two friends who like to talk about movies and whatever else they decide to talk about. Also love the top five movies.

    Welcome back
    So glad the greatest podcast in the history of podcast has returned! Life was just not the same without listening to Ty and That Guy! The glue that is our friend Joseph holding everything together the banter back-and-forth the unobjective facts of knowledge or just a small little bit of what makes this podcast the most award-winning podcast in the history of podcasts. Sincerely listener number 11

    Following since day one. Never miss an episode. Favorite moments of course are the breakdowns of the show. Die Hard being in every top 5 genre. And listen, please make Indiana Jones short story -The Last Templar

    Great series - excellent hosts
    Guys - I’m such a fan of Expanse and this podcast: Just had to come on and say that these Aliens episodes are outstanding. SO fun! Great work!

    Great Series and Both Hosts Are Hilarious
    The Expanse is my favorite Sci-Fi series of all time, though the upcoming Ahsoka series might be a close number 2 if they tell the story I think they will tell... and Wes was recently announced to be starring in that, so... awesome. Great to hear the background and themes of Expanse episodes. I've listened to the entire series on Audiobook including Memory's Legion, where it was great to hear Ty give a little blurb at the end of each Novella to add further depth. I also like the movie and TV show reviews. I'm glad both hosts have a great sense of humor! Also, just wanted to mention that Temple of Doom was not supposed to be a sequel to Raiders - it was a prequel. Great review, though! But, I want to know what the influence of "The Mote in God's Eye" was. Both of you mention Mormons and both cite the Nauvoo. Did you read the motie trilogy and was that something that influenced you?

    Glad these guys got into podcasting
    First started listening to the expanse recaps since it is one of my fav shows of all time. As it has gone on I’ve enjoyed their discussions of other movies and shows more and more. Great guests are always coming around too.

    Just got into Expanse ….
    Happy to be the 9th listener ! If you’re a first time Expanse viewer like me, beware of spoilers but it’s still worth it for the amazing insights and explanations. My fault for being late to party on an incredible tv show For this pod…on episode s1 e7 and just heard Amos give Holden the speech about “how much Justice you think you’re gonna get in a (Martian) prison cell?!” while loading to bare (love how Amos no-sells literally everything from Holden). I remembered seeing Wes was on a show before I actually watched Expanse. So…immediately came back to check this show out and subscribe. His acting comes off as so natural that I already know I’ll enjoy his show. Update: I did! Up to s2 e8 and cruising…my only critique…I wish they’d have finished Expanse recaps before getting into top 5 movie discussions. I feel like there’s still a lotta meat on the bone left unsaid. Their show though, take what I get.
  • SomeRobotGuy
    The expanse is good.
    Station 11 is better than the expanse.
  • SwoleDiscoStu
    Love this Podcast
    After watching the Expanse series and reading the books it’s very cool to hear them talk about the individual themes and episodes and other things around The Expanse and other topics as well. Very entertaining!

    Even the podcasts I think might be duds always surprise and delight me. Love the insights and opinions almost as much as I loved The Expanse.
  • Zatan714
    Creative and TV & Movie
    Originally started listening to this podcast because of the Expanse, but am really enjoying all the deep dives into the Hollywood business. Good work guys!
  • Maj12728
    So entertaining!
    I recently found this podcast, and I love it! I’m a fan of The Expanse books and TV show. It’s great to hear these guys break down the episodes. But it’s even more fun to hear them talk about about their favorite movies. It’s like conversations with your best nerd friends! I look forward to every episode.
  • Catfishv1
    Fantastic
    It’s my favorite podcast. Love it!!
  • Grubish
    Love the Expanse but also love that this podcast discusses other things!
    The episodes that don’t involve the expanse are also top tier to listen. Hope you guys keep this going after getting through the expanse content.
  • nick mear
    Indiana Jones
    I loved the 2 episodes about Indiana Jones. Crazy how this movie has held up so well over 40 years. Definitely something magical about it and I loved the discussion you guys had.
  • mogli3
    Must listen for Expanse fans
    Such a fun time. The friendship chemistry (and let’s be honest, homoeroticism) between Wes and Ty keeps me coming back every week. I’ve also enjoyed learning more about their film favorites, and have watched a couple good movies thanks to their weekly lists. I was worried the end of the show would spell the end of the podcast, but thankfully that hasn’t happened yet!
  • jspilz
    Great show
    I’m a big fan of the expanse, and this show definitely includes expanse content, but I also really appreciate the film making and film industry insights. Good chemistry between Wes and Ty, good sense of humor. I’m not in the “grumpy” crowd.
  • RSY007
    Graet poadcast
    Thanks. This is a great podcast.

    Interesting discussion
    It’s very interesting to hear the perspective of writers and actors on the creative process and mechanics of their professions which have no experience with. I was so used to Drummer’s Belter patois that Cara Gee’s actual voice was a surprise. Guys: You have to learn how to pronounce Shohreh Aghdashloo’s first name. Emphasis on the first syllable, pronounce the first “h”.
  • robhallmd
    Cara Gee!!
    Season 6 ep 5 OMG!! So great! Cara Gees performance in this episode moved me to absolute tears! So moving and wrought with emotion and conflict! Really makes me sad that it’s the second to last episode and I can’t believe it.... Need more episodes!!
  • Arcade Shenanigans
    An informative, entertaining & genuine behind the scenes experience
    Ty and Wes have natural chemistry and the podcast invites you to participate in the production family. The format is clever and informative; weaving in a natural love for film and behind the scenes takes from iconic Expanse moments. The discussions are insightful and the crew's enthusiasm for the topics are as infectious as a protomolecule outbreak at a space casino.

    Expanse fan must + legit geek cred
    Love these guys, keeping it real, and serving a delicious geek meal weekly!
  • you cant take the sky from me
    Extremely underrated
    Great podcast! If you love the expanse or just want greats lists of movie to watch this is the podcast for you. Came for expanse stayed for banter and movie trivia!
  • dseeholzer
    Mindblowingly great!
    I found this because of the connection to the Expanse, but discovered it to be so much more. The Expanse talk and stories are fantastic — you could make a great book from all the stories. But Wes and Ty talk about every manner of topic and the amount of fascinating and funny per minute is off the charts. Such great listening!
  • Duda Want to Build a Snowman?
    Time Travel Movies
    Amazing pod as always, but I think we missed the quintessential time travel movie, Die Hard. There’s no plot unless John McClane travels 3 hours back in time to fly from NY to LA.

    5 star review from listener #4. I am a die hard fan of this podcast.
  • mikig0709
    Favorite podcast!
    Though I listen to a bunch of different podcasts, I am writing my first review because Ty & That Guy is my favorite! It’s such a great mix of interesting behind the scenes information and you guys just having fun…plus it’s a reason to look forward to Wednesday’s every week! Thank you for all you do and I absolutely cannot wait for Season 6 of The Expanse! Loyal listener #9 😊
  • Honkydrunk
    I was recommended this by a friend
    With a quickness I became a fan of the expanse. It’s creator and one of the stars team together for a very entertaining companion to the show in this podcast. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for these guys after the finale. Great stuff.
  • BwayFan67
    Family Drama
    Love the podcast. Y’all should check out Warrior with Tom Hardy. It’s a story about two brothers and their relationships with their father and each other, set in the world of MMA. Brutal in multiple ways.
  • Hoostina
    The details and banter is fantastic!!!
    What a fun look behind the Expanse series!!! As one of your 3 listeners I can bring the fried chicken to the potluck!!!
  • StreetcornerSymph
    Thank god it’s Wednesday
    This is such a good podcast! Ty and Wes (and Clint) are so much fun to listen to, and it’s always incredibly interesting to get that behind the scenes perspective on The Expanse. I always look forward to new episodes and have never made it through an episode without cracking up. Thanks for doing this guys!! Happy to be one of your 8 listeners!
  • TinaTuna88
    Always waiting for that Wednesday drop!
    Man oh man, do I love this podcast. As a sci-fi/expanse nerd, listening to Ty and Wes every week is not only an instant mood booster, but I get to nerd out on movies, television, and the world of sci-fi! Proud to be one of the 8 listeners 😂
  • It'sSpartyTime
    Great Insider Show Discussion
    I am a fan of The Expanse (books and show), and I look forward to this show from Ty and Wes every week. It’s a nice bonus that they include their top 5 lists in addition to the Expanse coverage. Their banter about the films in their top 5 makes me want to re-watch or just watch more movies in general. Also, I like it when Clint speaks up, but he is wrong about Die Hard! It is a hostage move! Thank you all for the work you put into this show.
  • mlynneo
    Tech talk
    I am an older woman. Never played video games, never got into “how did they do that?” But I totally enjoyed the episode with Ty and the cinematographers. Next rewatch of the Expanse, I will be looking for the shots they talked about. Thank you all for the best sci-fi world and show, ever created!
  • SturdyTalksOnDocs
    Just binged the 1st 019 episodes and loved them all!
    Any Fans of Ty, Wes, Sci-Fi, or The Expanse should definitely listen to this! You will definitely be satisfied and learn a lot about The Expanse, acting, writing, and movies in general. Do not miss out on this podcast!
  • IsabeauZS
    Early on good stuff
    One episode in, but these guys are clearly serious about their Sci-Fi. And serious about how human society interacts with the challenges of this frontier. Great chat with Ron Perlman. These guys have an infectious love for their craft. Ok, review update. You mentioned Starman!! Yes, I did watch and live that show. Magic marbles indeed...
  • soankie
    Amazing commentary on fantastic movies
    I started listening to this podcast because I was jonesing for The Expanse. But Wes and Ty have been breaking down some of the best films from the 70s 80s and 90s. I’m just finished listening to the 5th podcast, but am taking a break to watch Escape from New York and Running Man. You guys are awesome!
  • PHX620
    Great show
    Great insight on the behind scenes events of The Expanse
  • Tlindo
    I like it Don’t love
    I love The Expanse and how women are portrayed in the series. I would like to hear some more discussion on the women in the series. I hope that’s to come as they move through each episode of this otherworldly series!! Still enjoy the banter between Ty and Wes very insider and you can tell who their favorite actors on the show are😅
  • aandnota
    Excellent podcast
    I love the back and forth between these two. If you enjoy honest, frank discussions about life and cultural loves, this is the podcast for you.
  • GallifreyRebel
    Awesome Podcast!
    I enjoy these episodes. It is cool to get some behind the scenes details about this awesome show, but more than that it is just like a good time to hang out and chat with some friends. Makes you wish you really could be there just chatting with these two. Guess we’d never get anything done if that were the case! Thanks Ty and that guy “Midnight” for taking the time to do this for us fans.
  • Amweills
    Great listen for fans of sci-fi
    Great insight into each episode of the The Expanse and great behind the scenes details. But my favorite part is when they reminisce about old movies and tv shows that I can totally relate to. Thanks guys for cracking me up while I work!
  • Cahill4225
    Ton of fun - a great listen!!
    Great back and forth - I really enjoy it.
  • Apex Furyan
    Love this
    Love your back and forth, found by accident and now can’t wait for more! Amazing conversation on a genius show! Keep up the good work!
  • RoseMirtha
    How did I miss this?
    I’m so glad I found this podcast to tide me over until The Expanse returns. I am rewatching from the beginning and the insight has been so fun. Also you two love movies that are my favorites and I’m so old that I did see them all in theaters when they came out. So this podcast has a wide appeal. Thank you for doing this!
  • tmcfl
    A new favorite!
    Came for the Expanse, but it’s also been so fun to listen to these pop-culture and sci-fi enthusiasts discussing their favorite works of art. I’ve been a huge fan of the Expanse books and TV show from nearly the beginning of both, and it’s been great to hear more about how these works were created along with the little Easter eggs and references. Couldn’t be happier to find this new podcast. It’s my new favorite!
  • The Real J-Lo
    A couple of white guys get drunk and amuse themselves
    Was hoping this would be more about The Expanse and less about these guys talking about whatever amuses themselves. They were okay as hosts for the post-show season 5 stuff but having the other cast members on and talking about the episodes is what made the after-show worthwhile. This podcast though feels like I am watching a writer and an actor being adolescent boys. It gets old pretty quick. With all the name dropping, bragging and inside jokes, they come across as both in dire need of approval and full of themselves - typical Hollywood. I’m unsubscribing. Would rather have a drink with someone I actually care about and hear their stories instead. Pro-tip: Be the host or be the guest... trying to be both makes it all about you...
