Lyles Movie Files

With the cancellation of Batwoman, Naomi and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Jayce and I look at the recent failures of the CW Verse to effectively build off the Arrowverse and what can be done to salvage it.

With the new head of Warner Bros. Discovery prioritizing the DC film universe, we come up with some ideas for an ideal starting point to get the brand back on track.

Jayce, Chief and I discuss the shocker with The Walking Dead spinoff slated to feature Carol and Daryl that is in jeopardy with Melissa McBride's departure. Justin Lin is exiting Fast and Furious 10, but does a new director matter that much? Spider-Man's 20th anniversary is being hailed as the restart of the comic book movie genre. We debate if that was really the case. And with the news of a sequel to The Batman, we discuss the possibilities for Matt Reeves' follow-up.

Chief, J. King, Jayce and I debate our favorite movie moments -- those epic scenes that get us hyped up like few others. We've got a wide range of choices. See if any of your favorites make the cut.

A massive leak for The Flash movie with some significant rumored spoilers has us very concerned about what Warner Bros. has planned for the future of the DC Extended Universe. It might not be worth the concern as Flash star Ezra Miller’s latest headline making incident might finally be the final straw in this ill-fated version of a shared DC Universe.

The whole gang is here to break down the Will Smith/Chris Rock fiasco at the Oscars. Was Will right to defend Jada's honor? Was Chris just being a comedian? How much will this affect future black actors from deserved Oscar recognition? We discuss it all in this one over the most talked about Oscars in decades.

Jayce and I break down the upcoming MCU slate including the Ms. Marvel trailer, how wild Moon Knight looks and our excitement for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Then, we consider all of the wild possibilities with Secret Invasion and which dead characters should make a comeback...as Skrulls or their freed selves.

Jayce, Chief and I catch up on The Walking Dead as it continues the second phase of its final season. With the news of yet another spinoff featuring Maggie and Negan, we consider if TWD would be better off just doing another season instead. We also break down the latest delays for the upcoming DC Films slate with push backs to The Flash, Aquaman and Black Adam.

Jayce and I are joined by our cousin, Duane, the biggest Batman fan that we know to discuss The Batman in a spoiler-filled conversation as we consider if Matt Reeves' take is the best Batman film so far.

With The Batman director Matt Reeves wanting more of a realistic, gritty take on Batman, Jayce and I consider what viable options are actually on the table for the sequel he's currently planning. After Spider-Man: No Way Home's sucess, Jayce and I consider if there's any other possible comic book film that could equal its success. The Marvel Netflix shows are potentially heading to Disney+, but Jayce has some concerns.

Jayce and I discuss the last episode of The Book of Boba Fett, which once again had very little of the title character and a major focus on furthering subplots from The Mandalorian. And we geek out over the big cameos and huge debut before considering how challenging it really would be for Disney to make an Heir to the Empire live-action trilogy.

Jayce and I discuss the news of a sequel to the 2021 Mortal Kombat film in the works from Warner Bros. We also discuss our slight concern about the Uncharted movie, this week’s episode of The Book of Boba Fett and the exciting team-up of The Rock and Chris Evans for Red One.

Jayce and I break down DC's plans to kill off the Justice League, the realization that Black Panther: World of Wakanda is snakebit, the continued rise in momentum of The Book of Boba Fett and Joss Whedon torpedoing what's left of his career after a scathing interview where he blasted the Justice League cast. 

Netflix is hard at work on The Raid remake that Jayce and I want zero parts of as there’s no way it can match the intensity and fun of the modern classic action movie. Besides, that’s what Dredd is for. We also discuss the cameo that likely won’t happen for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and those we’d think would be cool to see.

Jayce and I break down the rumors of the pending end of the Snyderverse within the DC Extended Universe. Can we trust Warner Bros. and DC going forward with the DC comic book movies?  Black Widow might have been the hardest hit blockbuster over the pandemic, but a report indicates it was much worse than previously revealed.  Morbius is getting another delay. Will this Spider-Man spin-off eventually prove worth the wait? Finally, we break down the issues with The Book of Boba Fett and why it's making us cautiously optimistic about the rest of the season. 

Chief, Jayce and I break down the new The Batman trailer in hopes of it getting Chief excited about the Robert Pattinson/Matt Reeves collaboration. Also, Jayce and I break down the first episode of The Book of Boba Fett and share our excitement over the latest Disney+ series set in the Star Wars Universe. Finally, the three of us rank all of the theatrical release Spider-Man films from Spider-Man to Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Jayce and I break down the season finale of Hawkeye and if the first appearance of Kingpin in the official MCU met expectations. We also explain why Hawkeye might have had the worst post-credit of any MCU property. The Matrix Resurrections dropped on HBO Max and theaters and we're ready to take the blue pill after checking it out. Also, we discuss Spider-Man: No Way Home's box office potential and provide a new crew of Dummies of the Week.

Jayce and I break down Hawkeye's penultimate episode for Season 1 and the reveal of the man Clint didn't want to face. I also provide my spoiler-free take on Spider-Man: No Way Home and why it's one of the Top 5 MCU films. The Flash Armageddon is wrapped, and we break down what worked and didn't in the mini-event finale. Finally, we question the need for a CW Gotham Knights show and wonder why Netflix keeps cancelling new series with cliffhanger endings.

Jayce and I break down The Flash: Armageddon's first three episodes and so far haven't been disappointed by the start of Season 8 of the top CW series.  Red Notice is Netflix's most viewed film, but Jovon still hasn't bit. Can we convince him to give it a shot? Speaking of bite, we discuss Nicholas Cage's new bloody film, Reinfeld, co-starring Nicholas Hoult and Awkwafina. Spider-Man: No Way Home is coming and we won't be done with Tom Holland as Spider-Man as a new trilogy is in the works. Chief explains why he's excited about this news as Sony and Marvel Studios are avoiding a major problem with the DC Extended Universe.

Jayce and I break down Vin Diesel's plea to get Dwayne Johnson back with the Fast and Furious franchise. Will it work? Also, Jayce shares his take on the Supergirl series finale to determine if it was worth investing in this season.  Henry Cavill reiterates he's not done with Superman. Will Warner Bros. ever figure out a way to incorporate him back into the fold? Finally, Jayce and I make our Married at First Sight Season 13 predictions ahead of Decision Day.
