Joe Russo

I'm Chris Price, a filmmaker and podcast wizard who just can't help but play devil's advocate.

And with me is writer, director, producer, and all-around cinephile, Joe Russo.

Together, we take a sober look at the trends and headlines that drive the film industry forward.

This episode, we catch up on an avalanche of Hollywood news, including the Paramount WB merger and what it means moving forward.

Joe gives us the goods on the slew of new movies he's seen at Beyond Fest 2026, and of course, we talk all things Street Fighter, the movie.

Does it satisfy fans of the games and cinemagoers alike? We answer this and much, much more.

Let's jump right in.

I'm CLP, celebrating spooky season by performing 360 pile drivers and spinning lariats on any zombies, vampires, or witches that cross my path.
