   I was randomly looking at E21 of "Ty and that Guy" because I was searching for some specific topic that was mentioned in *some* episode of it and this one came up when I searched for it.

   In the end there was nothing about that topic at all, but it was so good I listened to the whole thing. I've dipped into TatG before, just clips, but this is the first time I gave it a chance and listened to a whole episode, because I was just captivated by the initial conversation and got attached.

      "Ty and That Guy" is a conversation between Ty Franck, one half of "James S. A. Corey", and Wes Chatham, who played Amos on "The Expanse", written by said pseudonym.

      ("I'm That Guy" is a famous and powerful Amos scene)

      I think each episode is about a particular episode of the TV show, at least that's the main format. Sometimes it's the two of them, sometimes they invite someone on.

      You'd imagine that it's the author talking about their baby with their friend and minion actor, but no, in at least this episode and I imagine all of them, Franck is hanging out and Chatham is the driver.

      It's wonderful to see, because however much an actor loves their craft and however much they love their colleagues and crew, a lot of effort goes into creating a thing and then it's often like "ok, I did that thing, whew", maybe they want to see once how it came out or maybe they don't watch it at all. That's probably how I'd be if I did it professionally and had the next job coming up after the thing wrapped. Chatham is not, ahum, that guy.

      Oh, now I remember, there is one episode of TatG where they mention that tE tries to be realistic when it can, but silence in space?

      I believe they'll say rocket engines firing is a storytelling device and an emotional component of a scene and you can't move a ship in silence, it kills the scene. TV craft before realism, sorry.

      If someone knows which episode that is, I'd love to hear Franck and Chatham discuss that.
