The Electro and Banno Movie Power Hour Podcast ·

2021/06/23

With the recent release of Spiral, we decided there was no better time to revisit the OG Saw. Released in 2004, James Wan's directorial debut helped change horror movies for the better part of the 2000s, with critics coining the term "torture porn." We dive into the "torture porn" era and Saw's legacy in the horror genre. We also briefly cover Spiral, starring Chris Rock. Did it live up to the Saw name? Listen and find out.

2021/05/20

With theaters opening up again, the guys made their triumphant return to the cinema! The first movie they watched was Nobody, starring the always funny and now bonafide badass Bob Odenkirk. So it only seemed natural to commemorate the event by dedicating an entire episode to the movie itself.

The world's wheels kept turning as we did our Fincher/Nolan series, and we enjoyed a bevy of releases from the mighty HBOmax! We cover such films as The Little Things, Zack Snyder's Justice League, Godzilla vs. Kong, and Mortal Kombat.

#62: Fincher v Nolan: The Results!

The Electro and Banno Movie Power Hour Podcast ·

2021/04/12

According to the Academy of Motion Pictures, they moved this year's Oscars back to April because of the pandemic. We have it on good authority that they heard the Electro and Banno Movie Power Hour was doing their final episode in their Christopher Nolan vs. David Fincher series, and they didn't want to be upstaged. So here is the final answer to the question of who is the better director.

#61: The David Fincher Rankings

The Electro and Banno Movie Power Hour Podcast ·

2021/03/29

David Fincher was a successful music video director before his first feature film Alien 3, was released in 1992. Considering it was a critical failure, he would come to disown. The world had no idea he would become one of the most respected directors in the business. Listen as we go through his masterful filmography with a fine-tooth comb to find out which one is his true masterpiece.

2021/03/20

Christopher Nolan has written and directed some of the best films of our generation. This week Electro and Banno rank all 11 feature films of this legendary director from Following to Tenet and everything in between. The conversation stayed oddly civil even though everyone's list was different. What happened off the mic will stay that way. For the last two decades, Nolan has been producing some of the most epic films on the screen and only the Movie Power Hour has the clout to rank them

#59: The Social Network

The Electro and Banno Movie Power Hour Podcast ·

2021/03/10

In 2010 Facebook was still becoming the behemoth it is today, and David Fincher showed us that he could make entertaining films in any genre with The Social Network. Jesse Eisenberg was born to play this role, and it leads to one of the rare instances on the podcasts where everyone agrees. What do you think? Did we get it right as usual, or were there some parts that we just plainly misunderstood?

#58: Interstellar

The Electro and Banno Movie Power Hour Podcast ·

2021/03/03

In 2014 only one director in Hollywood had the backbone to put Matt Damon on Hoth, make Matthew McConaughey an astronaut, and create the most accurate black hole simulation to date. Christopher Nolan's space epic Interstellar is next to be scrutinized and the final film for Nolan in our battle between him and David Fincher. Electro and producer Oz take you the best parts and talk about how far they got before their eyes released a salty discharge.

2021/02/18

In the year 2000, Christoper Nolan reintroduced everyone to film noir with the masterful Memento.

The Electro and Banno Movie Power Hour Podcast ·

2021/02/09

The Fincher/Nolan-off continues!! In our first Fincher episode, we talk about every misguided teenage boy's favorite film, Fight Club. Released in 1999, this was David Fincher's fourth feature film and perhaps second good one? Brad Pitt's body is perfection in this flick, can David Fincher's directing match that?

David Fincher and Christopher Nolan have made some of the most impactful movies of our lives. From now until March 16, we will go through their filmography. First, we will dedicate full episodes to their best couple of films. After that, we will cover their films before the final episode, where we decide who is our favorite director out of these two iconic people.

#52: Mank

The Electro and Banno Movie Power Hour Podcast ·

2021/01/19

In David Fincher we trust. Be it Facebook, serial killers, or Ben Affleck. So when we heard he directed a film about the making of Citizen Kane we were puzzled. We had no idea it was about a drunk writing genius who was soon to become one of our heroes. Or is he the villan? This is an unlikely story about how we came to idolize a man named Mank.

2021/01/12

As we were preparing this episode, HBO Max blew everyone's minds and announced a tremendous deal.

#48: The Rock

The Electro and Banno Movie Power Hour Podcast ·

2020/12/04

Hollywood lost another legend with the passing of Sean Connery, and in our attempt to pay him tribute, we watched The Rock. Unfortunately, or fortunately? It became more of a tribute for Nicholas Cage, who starred in classics such as Con Air and Face/Off. Sean Connery was only James Bond and Indiana Jones’ dad. Could they possibly join forces to be in one of the greatest action movies ever made? Listen and find out.
