The Electro and Banno Movie Power Hour Podcast

The second and final part of our 2019 awards is here! In this episode, Electro and Banno go through their list of the best films of 2019. From "Knives Out" to "Doctor Sleep" and "The Joker," the list contains their favorite 22 movies of last year. What do you think? Would you have added or taken any out of the list?

Most of the Hollywood movie awards have fancy panels and judges, but we don't need all that here at the Power Hour. All we need is Electro, and his list of 48 movies he saw in the theatre last year ranked from worst to first. We couldn't dare unleash the whole episode at once, so we broke it down into two parts. First up, our selection of the worst films of 2019.

January is a traditionally a bad month for movies but this year Guy Ritchie decided to change that. Ritchie goes back to the funny, fast paced style that made him a regular Hollywood name with The Gentleman. Electro and Banno are in agreement that they both enjoyed the film although some critics disagree with them. Listen as they change all their minds.

We are in the middle of awards season, so we split this episode into two. First, we talk about the Golden Globes and how they messed everything up and give them a thumbs up on a couple of things they got correct. Then we get to our review of the funny and entertaining Rian Johnson movie Knives Out. Who knew that Daniel Craig was a southern gentleman under all that James Bondness?

This episode, we dig into the latest Clint Eastwood flick about a hero who was dragged through the mud for months before getting his name cleared. Do we feel like this was an accurate representation of the story? Did the media get villanized to a cartoonish extent as our producer thinks? Should Kathy Bates win an Oscar? Will Banno ever return from Europe? We answer all that and more this week!

Banno is still off on his European travels but the Power Hour moves on! This episode we talk about the Quinten Tarintino written: "True Romance" a favorite amongst all of us here on the podcast. What was originally supposed to be a part of "Natural Born Killers" became one of the most memorable movies of the 90s. This episode has it all "... from a diddled-eyed joe to damned if I know."

Now that the holidays are over are we were thinking about what movies we would include in our top 5 holiday movies of all time. We ended up with four different lists with a couple of common titles between them. What are your top 5? Do you agree with us, or did we leave something out?

How did a Texan with a bad heart and a British driving legend bring together a group of people to beat one of the most legendary racing teams in the world? That is the story behind Ford vs. Ferrari, which Electro and Banno break down in a way that nobody else can! It's got Christian Bale, it's got Matt Damon, it's got fast cars and explosions. So how did they like it?

If you want time travel, deadly robots, and a naked Arnold Schwarzenegger, there is only one movie to go to, and that is The Terminator. The 1984 sci-fi film directed by James Cameron is the topic of this episode, and we go deep into this classic film. Electro also wonders why people like Cameron.

Ethan Hawke films are going to be a frequent point of discussion on this podcast and this episode we dig deep into the Antoine Fuqua directed " Training Day". Our boy Hawke gets paired with Denzel Washington who earned his second Oscar for his portrayal of corrupt cop Alonzo Harris.
