Lyles Movie Files

Chief was thrilled and excited to finally come together so we could watch A Quiet Place Part II. We break down our shared experience watching the year's biggest horror thriller. Was it fun being back in the theater again? We also break down Chris Harrison's departure from The Bachelor franchise, the major events that led to his extended hiatus from the series and why ABC ultimately decided not to give Harrison the final rose. What do the boys think of the announced co-hosts for Bachelor in Paradise including Lil Jon, Lance Bass and Titus Burgess? And Rob Zombie is directing The Munsters? John Wick 4 has some very intriguing new cast members and Jayce is arguing that Batwoman has become a better show than The Flash. How did that happen?

After a technical snafu last week, we're back for another take on our special milestone episode 200. We break down some new items like Jupiter's Legacy getting cancelled from Netflix and the latest host reveal for Bachelor in Paradise.  For most of the episode we break down some superlatives with our best of the best with Best Ensemble, Sports Film, Movie of 2021 (so far), TV pilot and The Best Villain.  We couldn't have gone this far without you so thanks for continuing to listen and spreading the word about the show. We're planning to crank out another 200 episodes stronger than the last round. 

We're one episode away from the big 200th show. For this one, we're talking about the need for yet more Batman and Superman cartoon series, the fallout of the Warner/Discovery media and what it means for future streaming services and the new directors for Batgirl.  Arnold Schwarzenegger is back with a new Netflix series, Salma Hayek had a near fatal bout with COVID and our take on Spotify's virtual concert series.  For the next episode we want to hear from you. Send along any questions, comments, etc. you want to hear us discuss on next week's show.

After the release of the Snake Eyes G.I. Joe Origins trailer left me a little wanting, I tried to break down my concerns with this latest Joe movie.  And because I hate to be that guy that just complains, I offered a suggestion for how G.I. Joe could be done right as an animated series on say Amazon Prime.

Jayce and I give our quick thoughts on Netflix's latest comic book series, Jupiter's Legacy, and how it measures up with some of the latest in the genre. I discuss why it's so major that we're getting a Bitter Root series from Director Regina King. We also break down Emily Blunt discussing those still not going away Invisible Woman fan casting rumors. 

We break down Star Wars: The Bad Batch premiere and our concerns about this latest entry in the Star Wars saga. The Flash is seeing some original cast members depart while another is returning after being killed off (?). And at least some of us are debating ending the race with the series. We also talk about DC's upcoming rumored film slate with the J.J. Abrams Superman and The Joker sequel. Also stay tuned for a special promotion for That Damned Michael Che with a chance to win a $25 gift card.

For this episode we're breaking down the finale of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and what that means for the MCU's future.  Sam Wilson's journey to becoming Captain America is over and now it's time to watch him shine in his new role. And what about the potential for some Secret Invasion connections? We've also got some news on Titans casting Scarecrow, the return of DC FanDome and the diminishing returns of DC films in general.  Gunner and Jovon had some major issues with the latest Mortal Kombat reboot and Jayce and I try to make it a fair fight. Plus, I have a near podcast breakdown discussing the likelihood of Mac Jones being drafted to the 49ers. 

Mortal Kombat is coming to theaters and HBO Max tomorrow and the fellas are hyped for it. And while we're talking about video game movies, we break down some of our favorite and worst in the genre. Sony and Disney struck a big deal to bring the Spider-Man films to Disney+ and we're all set for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier finale. The gang is not happy about the plans for a How I Met Your Father spin-off, a Fantasy Island reboot and the return of Masters of None. As always, thanks for listening and don't forget to rate, review and subscribe,

We're almost at the milestone 200th episode, but for episode 193 we've still got plenty to discuss.  First up, we break down one of Marvel Studios' best recent efforts with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The show has been crazy and exceeded our expectations so far. We break down what we want to see in the final two episodes.  The Flash hasn't been nearly as fun and we try and make sense of what's going wrong.  And naturally, we have to talk about that insane new F9 with the team teasing in space and Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead.

Ray Fisher finally unloaded all of the behind the scenes drama he experienced while shooting Justice League. It's a crazy situation and we break down all the foolishness as well as why Warner Bros. will always be looking up at Marvel Studios' success.  Tyler Perry is planning a Madea drama prequel to explore his iconic character's past. Some of the guys actually think this could be a hit.  Kanye West had a documentary coming to Netflix, but the guys aren't that excited about this one.  Finally, Jovon and Chief break down Godzilla vs. Kong and share their raves and rants about the clash of titans. 

After another disappointing episode, we break down the Walking Dead woes and tie it in to the terrible decision to announce the Carol and Daryl spin-off.  The Flash tries to find a bit more consistency as the roll-out of The Forces continue. Did we like the introduction of Psych? Supergirl returns while Superman and Lois is on hiatus. We decide if the show is worth continuing to check out or it's it time to finally declare the show dead to us.  We're finally back to a blockbuster movie season with the arrival of Godzilla vs. Kong. Only one can emerge the victory and the fellas discus their favorite. 

Zack Snyder's Justice League is in the books and we all got a chance to check it out and we've got a ton of opinions to break down. Jayce and I break down the latest episode of The Flash, which basically kicks off the new season finally. It left us feeling a bit more encouraged and somewhat cautious about what's in store for the rest of the year. We also break down the big bombshell with Batwoman with the recasting of Kate Kane and how that impacts current Batwoman, Ryan Wilder.

We're kicking off a special March feature where we break down the Best of The Franchise. We'll take a look at a series and determine which film was the absolute best entry. We're starting things off with Fast and Furious and Mission: Impossible. Which installment of Vin Diesel and Tom Cruise's franchises stands above the rest? Jovon and I break down the latest episode of The Walking Dead and discuss Gabriel's evolving character. 

For this episode we broke down our four comfort films that we will go to in any circumstance that will instantly put us in a better mood. Does Coming 2 America make the cut? Either way the fellas have now seen it and share their take on the sequel. Let's see if it matches up with mine.  Michael B. Jordan is headlining and directing Creed III and the guys come up with what they want to see and who Adonis should battle in the next installment slated for a 2022 release. 

I saw Coming 2 America and the boys share their apprehension about checking out the sequel to the Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall and the old gang.  Gunner felt validated while Jayce and Jovon were disappointed that Coming 2 America was a let down. If you've seen Coming 2 America, make sure to let us know what you think.   Superman & Lois had an impressive debut and we break down our expectations for the series going forward. 

It's the most anticipated new show of The CW Verse so naturally we had to share our thoughts on Superman and Lois. With strong performances from Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch, this looks like it could be a key show the CW Verse. But what did we think about it? We also break down the latest rumors with the Snyder Cut of Justice League and what at least one Warner Bros. executive really thought about Joss Whedon's contributions to the project.  Finally, we tackle the many problems with Batwoman and how it can still be salvaged and the potential for season 2 of WandaVision.

For this week, we end up having a longer conversation about The Bachelor than we ever thought possible. We break down the latest racial controversy, the overall issues with the format of the show and how race is factored into reality TV.  We discuss Matt James' disappointing lack of coolness and his overall bland presentation. The lessons The Bachelor should take going forward and why they basically had it right with Rachel Lindsay's season. And we try in vain to come up with some reason for Chief to ever give The Bachelor a chance.  We also break down the latest Justice League Snyder Cut trailer for the highly anticipated DC film set to debut on HBO Max next month.  Who got hyped after seeing it and who stayed the same and does this increase our hopes for a Justice League 2? As always, take a second to subscribe, rate and review the show. It is appreciated. 

I'm back to break down NXT TakeOver Vengeance Day - a stellar show from the black and gold brand.  It's a full rundown of the show from the finals of both the men's and women's Dusty Classic tournaments, the three-way women's championship, the North American title and NXT world title matches.  And in the aftermath of the shocking ending, I discuss a few intriguing ways NXT could go for Wrestlemania as far down the road to Summerslam.  Hope you enjoy the show and as always please subscribe, rate and review. 

We had a big show set up with some great discussion that naturally occurred before Gina Carano's mouth and tweets got her fired from The Mandalorian and Pedro Pascal got cast in The Last of Us series. Despite those setbacks, we did get in on Joss 'Trash' Whedon again and what these latest allegations mean for Ray Fisher's career. Also, we discussed the Black Panther casting rumors, Jared Leto's Snyder Cut makeover in Justice League and the latest bombshell episode of WandaVision. Finally, we wrap the show with our nominees for some of the best couples in movies and TV in honor of Valentine's Day in case you need some weekend recommendations.

Our minds are continually being blown by WandaVision. We talk about what we want to see playing out the rest of the season and what cameo would completely shake up our thoughts on the potential future for the series and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We also discuss the upcoming plans for Thor: Love and Thunder and the role of the Guardians of the Galaxy.  Cathy Yan had some issues with Warner Bros' handling of Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey. We question if she has a valid complaint or if there's just an overall editing problem with DC's live action films. And yeah we even bring back the Richard Donner cut of Superman II.
