On the “Cuttin’ Ties” Podcast, Ty G. II will explore how ALL films are held up by spiritual perspectives. As Ty G. II likes to say (inspired by his favorite clown), "We all float, but WHERE are we going and WHO or WHAT is taking us up?" Exploring these spiritual ideas or "ties" will lead us to discovering IF the film is conducive to human evolution, or if it leads to human decay. And this will ultimately result in his decision on whether or not we need to “tie up” the ties established by the film, or if we need to CUT THOSE TIES.

    Where is the Eternal Value in SOUL? White women in Black bodies? Life about passionate pursuits? Or is Life about enjoying Life?

    Ty G. II spills on Pixar's new release, SOUL. Did schools destroy us? Was George Orwell right!? John 10:10. #tieitup #cutitup

    Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Extraction for Exploitation, 2020, RACISM, Black-on-Black crime, “The Big Picture”, America’s Best

    Ty G. II spills on Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Chadwick Boseman’s last performance highlighted how systemic racism is directly connected to black on black crime. Thanks to August Wilson’s brilliant piece and George C. Wolfe’s beautiful vision, the church and the world can now have an enlightened understanding of the Black American experience. God possesses this understanding and He challenges His Bride to do so as well. Shout out to Sean Fennessey and the Big Picture. We need the proper spiritual equipment to understand this film. No ignorance. Be Humble. #tieitup #eternalvalue #America’sBest

    American Son (The SAGA) pt. 1

    Join Ty G. II as he brings Christopher Demos-Brown's revelatory play and cinematic piece, "American Son", to the choppin' block.

There will be two follow-up episodes to wrap up our 2020 journey, my Tie Cutters. Let's get it. #tieitup #cutitup

    "American Christianity"

    Ty G. II returns after a 4 month hiatus and brings American Christianity to the choppin block. No, this is not a political, spiritual and racial treatment of a film. However, Ty G. II could not move forward with his passion for breaking down films in the traditional way that has been done on this platform without addressing the injustices and disservices that he and our world continue to experience under the banner of American Christianity. It ends today. American Christianity: cut it up, or tie it up?
