    Ep 197 - Drive Angry Deep Dive + Top Good and Crazy Cage

    On this episode of Ty & That Guy, Ty Franck is joined by special guest co-host Dan Nowack (filling in for Wes) as they dive headfirst into the high-octane, full-tilt madness of Drive Angry—the 2011 supernatural revenge thriller that gives Nicolas Cage the wheel and lets him absolutely floor it. Ty and Dan break down the film’s grindhouse energy, its over-the-top world of satanic cults and spectral accountants, and why Drive Angry is secretly one of the most unhinged gems in Cage’s filmography. But that’s just the beginning. Inspired by the flaming tires and fiery monologues, the guys shift gears into a lively discussion of the Top Good and Crazy Nicolas Cage Movies—those glorious entries where Cage walks the razor's edge between genius and insanity. From the psychedelic horror of Mandy, to the face-swapping lunacy of Face/Off, and the bug-eyed brilliance of Vampire’s Kiss, Ty and Dan break down what makes a Cage performance unforgettable—and why we keep coming back for more. Fast cars, fiery vengeance, and full-blown Cage energy—this episode has it all.

    Ep 196 - Dreamscape Deep Dive + Top George Wendt

    In this deep-dive episode, Wes Chatham and Ty Franck throw on their psychic headsets and plunge into the 1984 sci-fi cult classic Dreamscape. A film ahead of its time—or at least weird enough to feel that way—Dreamscape delivers Cold War paranoia, nightmarish visuals, and a telepathic Dennis Quaid trying to save the President from his own dreams. Ty celebrates the always-watchable David Patrick Kelly, while both hosts reflect on the heavyweight presence of Christopher Plummer and Max von Sydow, who somehow make dream infiltration feel Shakespearean. The guys also take a heartfelt detour to remember the late George Wendt—his small role in the film sparking a bigger conversation about his underrated legacy beyond Cheers. It’s government secrets, dream battles, and 80s weirdness at its finest.

Ty, not usually a fan of romance, actually ends up liking it more than he expected—mostly thanks to James Garner’s charm. Things get even more fun when the guys go down a nostalgic rabbit hole and rank their Top 5 Corey Haim films. From Lucas to The Lost Boys, they revisit the hits that made Haim an '80s icon.

    Ep 191 - The Wraith: Deep Dive Into WTF is This?

    This week on Ty & That Guy, Wes Chatham and Ty Franck take a NOS-fueled joyride straight into the high-octane, neon-lit madness of The Wraith (1986)—a movie so gloriously bonkers, it defies all known physics and narrative logic. Charlie Sheen plays a mysterious ghost-car vigilante(?) with a vengeance to settle and a Dodge M4S Turbo Interceptor to do it in. It's got murder, romance, inexplicable resurrections, and a soundtrack that slaps harder than it has any right to. They break down the film’s wild plot, killer car chases, and why The Wraith is a cult classic worth revisiting—even if it raises more questions than it answers. Then, inspired by the sleek vengeance-mobile at the heart of the movie, the guys count down their Top 5 Most Iconic Cars in TV and Film. From time-traveling DeLoreans to muscle-bound demon hunters, they debate what makes a car truly legendary in pop culture.
