Lyles Movie Files

We're in a Spiderverse state of mind discussing the possibilities of Morbius being set in another Spider-Man world instead of the MCU version. Also, we come up with our choices to play Spider-Woman in a live action movie. Plus, Patty Jenkins has some ideas about a third potential Wonder Woman film and its setting. We consider what makes the most sense for this third adventure. Disney+ might be considering spinning off Solo with a Lando show, but will that prove too risky after the disappointment with the Sequel Trilogy? Check out all this and more as well as the Dummy of the Week.

With Birds of Prey opening this weekend, we break down our level of interest in the latest DC film from Warner Bros. Chief gets frustrated with the news of Sam Raimi possibly replacing Scott Derrickson in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Chris Rock is heading up the continuation of the SAW saga with Spiral, but what do the fellas think about this upcoming horror film. Sonic the Hedgehog is coming soon, but has the upgrades gotten us more interested in checking it out leading to a discussion on the failure of video game films in general. How insane was that F9 trailer? We talk about our excitement for the upcoming blockbuster and our complete and total lack of interest for watching this year's Oscars.

We held back on this episode as we wanted to get our reaction in on the Kobe Bryant tragedy. Now we're finally delivering on our review of Tyler Perry's latest crime against cinema -- A Fall from Grace. From bad wigs, terrible lightning and a nonsensical plot, we break down all the ways he got this one wrong. Maybe it's time to expand the writing staff? Additionally, we're proposing the worst possible directors to remake some classic films. We've got some wild ones you will be thrilled Hollywood hasn't decide to run with for their next round of remakes.

It didn't make sense to try and condense the entire Kobe Bryant tragedy into one episode and I'm back with the guys to discuss his impact and their thoughts on his death. From there we also break down the ridiculous media coverage and those would-be social shamers intent on making the deaths about themselves. That's not all this episode as we discuss the social media explosion after David Schwimmer suggested Friends could be remade with an all-black or all-Asian cast, which did not sit well on Black Twitter.

It's Super Bowl week. My Niners are in the big game, but today is a rough day as I try to reflect on my favorite Lakers player, Kobe Bryant, the day after his tragic death. This was a rough one for me as I couldn't quite figure out how to write about this crazy tragedy so I figured I'd try talking about it for a podcast. I break down my fun ride as a Niners and Lakers fan and the journey following two of the most iconic sports franchises of all-time.

The Oscar nominations have been revealed and we're channeling our inner Issa Rae with these nominees. We consider some of the more controversial categories and come up with our own choices of who should have been swapped out instead of more of the comfortable, familiar old guard. That's not all though as we break down some of our choices for our custom awards filled with some surprises and original categories. Thanks for tuning in and don't forget to like, comment and subscribe to the show.

For our first episode of 2020, we break down the Golden Globes and the over/under on how many nominated films the guys actually saw during award season. With so few nominated, we try to figure out what's wrong with network TV and why so few shows get acclaimed. From there we try and cover some of the first quarter films of 2020 and determine if anything catches our interest. Finally we wind things down with our first Dummies of the Week. Who makes the cut?

Happy New Year's Eve! For our final show of 2019 we're breaking down our final thoughts on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. We break down some of our major issues with the final installment of the Sequel Trilogy from the return of The Emperor to Rey's wacky Force Powers. Additionally, we're talking about The Mandalorian and why it proved to be a better version of Star Wars than the Sequel Trilogy. Finally, we wrap up with some 2020 Resolutions we'd like to suggest for a few groups and people. Hope you enjoy and as always please subscribe, comment and share and most importantly have an epic 2020.

The rest of the guys haven't seen Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker yet so we did another Q&A where they ask questions and I respond in spoiler-free fashion. I also share some spoiler-free thoughts in general about the film. We also break down the controversy with the portrayal of women in action movies. The guys also share their Top 10 Films of 2019 and we've got some real winners for our Dummies of the Week as we wind down 2019.

With Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker coming out this week, we share our final thoughts before we start seeing it including more feedback from The Last Jedi stars on their take on the film. And with Director J.J. Abrams also calling into question some Last Jedi decisions what do we think of how this trilogy can possibly wrap up. What do we want to see in this "conclusion" of the saga Daisy Ridley had to deal with some Internet rage over deflecting on her privilege this week and the boys aren't happy about it either. The new Wonder Woman 1984 and Ghostbusters: Afterlife trailers dropped. Did either of them have us excited as we head to two big films for 2020?

The first part of Crisis on Infinite Earths is in the books and we're breaking down our thoughts and reactions. Do we think the TV version has done a good enough job capturing the flavor of the comic series? It was Reign of the Supermen with three past and present Men of Steel showing up. And what is Lex Luthor really doing with that cheat code? Should Supergirl and Batwoman be a regular thing and why do we feel their interaction hasn't been as strong as one scene between The Flash and Black Lightning. A few major characters sacrificed themselves including that shocker in Part 1. Here's our take on how that will play out going forward in Crisis and possibly beyond. Tune in for a Crisis-filled show and hear our predictions for what's coming next and what we want to see in the final two installments.

With Crisis on Infinite Earths just days away from kicking off on The CW, we break down how the Arrowverse has been leading up to the big event. Jayce and I break down what's happened so far on Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl. Our Crisis comic book recap continues as Jovon wonders why they can't make comics like this anymore. We also break down our thoughts on the new Black Widow and James Bond trailers.

We all happily signed up for Disney+ and talk about our thoughts on the initial launch day from The Simpsons and our take on the new original Star Wars series The Mandalorian. Chief can't handle waiting week to week for new episodes and we debate if that non-binge format will work for paid streaming services. What's the deal with this year's Oscar films and the same old movies coming for another award season. Negan has joined up with The Whisperers in The Walking Dead and we're still hyped about where this season is heading.

The Flash and Arrow have been killing it this season so we talked abut how big an improvement Flash has seen with a new showrunner. Arrow is winding down, but is some of the luster starting to wear off? Jayce and I start breaking down the Crisis on Infinite Earths comic event and discuss why this was such a landmark comic event as we review issues 1 and 2.

In the second half of our big episode, we tackle some very controversial topics including Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese doubling down on their complaints on Marvel films and the worst rappers of all time list. The old school directors aren't too happy with Marvel raking in all the box office dough and we debate if they are just jealous of the Marvel juggernaut or if they have a legit point. We have some major disagreements on the worst rappers of all time list as Jayce tries to defend one very unpopular choice and we consider some surprising omissions and inclusions. How could Ludacris find his way on this list and does Shaq really deserve a spot?

We had too much to discuss to put it in just one so I split it in two. For this one we're breaking down the final Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker trailer. It was good enough to get one of us excited for it. The rest of us? Not so much. We're three episodes in to Batwoman: what's our verdict on it so far? Supergirl is dragging in the ratings but do the guys think it's getting a bad rap or is just killing time until Crisis on Infinite Earths? On the amazing side of the Arrowverse, The Flash and Arrow have been amazing. What do we think of the work of new showrunner Eric Wallace on The Flash and why has Arrow been so much stronger so far this year? And yeah, we're still loving The Walking Dead so far as we break that down as well.

The Arrowverse got good again? We're actually hyped talking about the build-up to Crisis on Infinite Earths with The Flash and Arrow's latest episodes. We're all still feeling The Walking Dead's new season. Are we excited about Matrix 4 in light of the new cast reveals and the possible return of Jada Pinkett Smith? Jovon, Jayce and I discuss the AEW: Dynamite vs. NXT war and how Wednesday is really the only must-see night for wrestling. Finally, we wind things down this week by breaking down Jennifer Aniston's Best and Worst films.

We're doing a double dose of podcasts this week. For Ep. 106, we break down Batwoman's series premiere and decide if it's worth sticking around to see how it plays out. Duane is back to talk about his take on Joker. What's a hardcore Batman fan think about Joaquin Phoenix's take on The Dark Knight's main adversary? The Walking Dead returns for its 10th season. How'd we think this season got going even with the inevitable departure of Michonne?

AEW: Dynamite vs. NXT! The new Wednesday Night Wars are here. Jayce, Jovon and I talk about what it's needed maybe more than in any time this decade. Batwoman kicked off on The CW this week. Jayce, Gunner and I weigh in on our excitement level for the newest CW series as well as the rest of the Arrowverse shows and the latest hype with Crisis on Infinite Earths. Plus, we talk about the DC Universe app shows from the amazing second season (so far) of Titans and the weird, but wonderful Doom Patrol. We've got some great nominees for Dummy of the Week as well. Tune in and let us know what you think of the show at [email protected].

From the Regulators to Cash Money Brothers, we talk about some of our favorite movie crews. Let's see if one of your crew makes the cut. Bog Iger has released a new book about his time period as Disney acquired Star Wars, Marvel and more. In the book is some interesting comments about George Lucas' thoughts on Disney's Star Wars first film The Force Awakens. We also talk about Jonah Hill aiming for $10 million to play either The Riddler or Penguin in Matt Reeves' upcoming Batman film. It's another fun episode from the Lyles Movie Files crew. Hope you enjoy.

We've all had these movies that were great right up until the ending. For this episode, we're discussing some of our favorite and most satisfying film endings. We cover the classics like The Godfather and Empire Strikes Back as well as a few others you might not expect. Check it out and see how many of them you agree with and share some of your favorites. With news of a new Whitney Houston hologram tour, we discuss why that's become such a popular trend now. There's a new slew of remakes coming and the boys are not happy about them. This is one of the more epic rants from the guys so grab your popcorn and watch out for spit takes.

"I am your father" "What's in the box" "I'll make him an offer he won't refuse" There's a slew of amazingly memorable movie quotes and the Lyles Movie Files podcast crew shares some of our favorites to see if we can stump each other. Chief finally caught It Chapter Two and shares his issues with the adult version of the film. The Joker is getting rave early critical reviews, but has it convinced us to give it a chance? Tune in to another ridiculously entertaining episode of LMF.

It Chapter Two left us rattled enough that we decided to put together our latest list of the three horror films that left us the most shook and terrified. Check out our selections and recommendations if you're in the mood for some good options for Friday the 13th. After a lot of buildup, we're finally tackling our worst films of the decade.

We play action star survival, discuss our thoughts on Dark Rey, the best film of the best franchises and more. I don't say this often, but this was one of my favorite episodes to record so I hope you enjoy it too.

We're one episode away from the big milestone and we're fired up talking about the latest fallout from Sony and Disney. Is anyone excited about the prospect of Spider-Man leaving the MCU? Does Disney or Sony deserve the hit for the failure to keep Spidey hanging with the Marvel heroes? And how fast do we think it will take for Sony to come back to the negotiation table with Disney to keep their mega-franchise rolling in the green? Rian Johnson recently discussed Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which had us heated up about his vision of the franchise. At this point can he just accept the fact that not everyone enjoyed his films and found his take on some characters jarring? Probably not, but we have fun talking about it.

The NBA just did it so now the crew of Lyles Movie Files does our take on the best 10 films of the decade from 2010-2019. How many films from the Marvel Studios universe and Fast & Furious franchise make the cut? And we're not leaving out some Oscar winners -- or some films that should have won Oscars out of the conversation as well. Christopher Nolan makes the cut, but maybe not for the film you think. Tune in and see how our picks line up with yours.

We broke down the best of the best last episode, so it's only fair we pay homage to the worst of the worst with our Top 10 picks of the all-time worst comic book performances from movie and TV. There's plenty of options from X-Men, Catwoman, Spawn. Does anyone from the Marvel Cinematic Universe make the cut?

We're talking the latest controversy with Lashana Lynch being cast the new 007 for Bond 25. Some small-brains are acting in typical fashion after a change to the "established" order, but some of the guys question why Bond would lose his 007 and if he should have his tag retired. Netflix didn't meet its anticipated subscriber forecasts. What can the streamer do to get people excited about its product again? In advance of San Diego Comic Con, we talk about what we hope to see with the latest Arrowverse news as it builds to Crisis on Infinite Earths.

It's San Diego Comic Con 2019 time and while we're not there, I've been keeping a keen eye on all of the big figure reveals from the various companies.

The top choice might surprise you. Check out all of my figure reviews on Lyles Movie Files here.

Just as the news comes that How to Get Away With Murder is ending with this upcoming season, the crew gets together to debate Viola Davis' three best and worst films.

With Avengers: Endgame closing in on Avatar's all-time record we share how we're going to try and help the cause.

We try our luck figuring out the perfect role for The One and find out why it's been so tough. Franchises and sequels have largely suffered this summer so we try and explore if franchise fatigue is real or if it's more of a case where people just want to see better quality films? Make sure to subscribe to Lyles Movie Files on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Himalaya Network and more.

With the NBA Finals over and a new champion crowned, superstars are already being traded and the buzz is all about the incoming rookies.

Also we consider the debate of the Jordan era Bulls vs. the KD, Steph and Klay Warriors.

I'm going solo today discussing why 20th Century Fox's final X-Men film, Dark Phoenix, was such a massive failure at the box office after managing only $51 million in its first two weekends.

We're all together for what ended up being a crazy episode. I sit the guys down and show them the magical experience that is Jurassic Games. After a few drinks the guys have no trouble sharing their surprising thoughts on this one. The Robert Pattinson casting as the new Batman has stirred up some controversy and a ton of bad Twilight jokes, but is the casting solid? We look at some potential fan casting of the Rogues Pattinson's Batman could face in the film. From there we take a look at the bigger DC Films picture and if it's past the point of no return for fans hoping it will ever reach the level of success of the Marvel Studios films.

With Dark Phoenix looking to soar right to the ash heap, we're answering a listener question challenging us to come up with our dream cast for the Marvel Cinematic Universe X-Men films. Would we keep any of the existing cast or start all over again? There's some very controversial choices and maybe a few gems in here as well. Plus, we wonder why Hollywood hasn't gotten the message with Godzilla and Transformers.

It's a wrap for this year's Arrowverse shows and now it's time to share our take on everything that happened on Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl. Which show left us the most annoyed and which one had us hopeful for the upcoming season? Tune in and check us out.

Tune in to get all of our takes now.

What happens when a franchise's fan base turns on the property? How can creators turn the tide when the fans start getting upset when the property starts taking turns that they don't like? We also break down the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones with all of our theories for the series finale. Did Daenerys' heel turn leave us outraged or did we feel it was a well-earned moment? By the time you hear this the series will be over so let's see how our predictions turned out. John Wick Chapter 3 is here. The fellas discuss their excitement for the latest Keanu Reeves' outing and we've got some killer choices for Dummies of the Week.

There's a point where every show does that one unforgivable act or has just gone on a slow burn of frustrating you so the crew decided to talk about what shows lately have made us rage quit. That's especially relevant after these last few episodes of Game of Thrones have left longtime viewers angry and swearing it off for good as a terrible show. We have our thoughts on where Game of Thrones is heading and how we want to see this season finally wrap up in the end. Check it out and let us know what shows have left you so annoyed you had to abandon them.

Hot on the heels of Avengers: Endgame, we figured it made complete sense to finally do the 3 Best/3 Worst for the guy that got the Marvel Studios juggernaut rolling, Robert Downey Jr. himself. No, we don't just choose all of his Iron Man roles so tune in and see which films make the cut. You might have missed some as the guys go deep in RDJ's resume for some choices. As always thanks for listening each week. We appreciate it!

Jovon and I are back to wrap up our coverage of WrestleMania 35 as we break down the final stretch of matches. We talk about the underwhelming and suspense-less Batista and Triple H match, the short and sweet Finn Balor vs Bobby Lashley encounter. If Rey Mysterio and Samoa Joe did anything for us at all and John Cena's return. We try to figure out what happened with the Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre match and then break down the historic main event of Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch.

Is there another franchise that can match Marvel Studios in terms of providing the ultimate, most satisfying viewing experience? We go through some potential challengers to see if anyone can come close from James Bond, Harry Potter, Star Wars and more. Tune in to see if we can agree if anyone rivals or surpasses the MCU. Also, everyone's caught up and we break down Season 9 of The Walking Dead, which was easily one of the strongest in the series. Did it make Jovon think twice about hating it so often over the year? Will Gunner return to the fold and give it another chance too? And we're thrilled to discuss Emily Bett Rickards' decision to leave Arrow at the end of this season. Chief goes in on DC's Film Universe and goes off on a big, must-listen rant. Check out all the fun in another fun episode.

Jovon has been missing out on NXT and the greatness that has been NXT TakeOver so for WrestleMania weekend he took me up on the challenge to watch the epic event from Friday night. What'd he think of War Raiders vs. Alestair Black and Ricochet? Which legendary teams did he compare the NXT tag champs to and what was Jovon's reaction to seeing the 2 out of 3 falls NXT title match between Adam Cole and Johnny Gargano? From there we start the first half of WrestleMania from the pre-show and rounding things up with the Kofi Kingston vs. Daniel Bryan match. It's a fun show and interesting insight from a lapsed fan in Jovon getting back into the product.

We've gone over Sandra Bullock's impressive resume and have finally narrowed our choices for the 3 Best and 3 Worst performances of the two-time Oscar winner. Where does The Blind Side fall on our list? Does Speed make the cut and the guys show an unexpected amount of love to one of Bullock's earliest roles. Find out what makes the list and which film we all agreed was clearly one of Bullock's best performances. Have any suggestions for whose career we should explore next? Comment on Twitter or Facebook.

For our big 75th anniversary show, we're dishing on The Walking Dead's take on Game of Thrones. Were these latest developments enough to get some of our stragglers back on board with the show? Now that we've all caught Us, everyone's got some thoughts on it. Did it leave us all shook? Also, we talk the Arrowverse. Has Supergirl managed to turn the corner and why is Arrow struggling so much to reach its series finale? The Flash has found its mark and hear why Gunner realized we were right all along about Black Lightning. We also go in on Steven Spielberg's hypocritical stance on Netflix in lieu of his newfound partnership with Apple+ Also, can we make it through the three-hour plus run-time of Avengers: Endgame?
