Show Notes
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.

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.
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.

Wes and Ty take a detour into rom-com territory with a deep dive into the 1985 classic Murphy’s Romance, starring Sally Field and James Garner. Wes is all in on the movie’s cozy small-town vibe and heartfelt performances, calling it a standout in the genre. Ty, not usually a fan of romance, actually ends up liking it more than he expected—mostly thanks to James Garner’s charm.
In this episode of Ty & That Guy, Wes Chatham and Ty Franck go full throttle into Tony Scott’s cult classic True Romance (1993), with a script penned by the one and only Quentin Tarantino. Wes and Ty break down the film’s kinetic style, unforgettable characters, and the all-star cast, including a standout performance by Christian Slater as comic book store clerk-turned-outlaw romantic, Clarence Worley. From the intense violence to the dreamlike romance, the hosts explore why this film remains a touchstone for fans of '90s cinema.
This week on Ty & That Guy, Wes Chatham and Ty Franck swing into the jungles of Colombia for a deep dive into the 1984 adventure-romance classic Romancing the Stone, starring Michael Douglas, Danny DeVito, and the inimitable Kathleen Turner. The guys unpack what makes this film such a standout in the action-comedy genre, from its snappy dialogue and unlikely romance to its pitch-perfect blend of danger and charm. They also get into director Robert Zemeckis' role in shaping the movie’s tone and how it helped redefine the modern adventure film.
