Summary

The second of our too-long-for-the-regular-Empire-Podcast interviews this week sees Joe and Anthony Russo, the brothers who directed four MCU movies we may have talked about on the podcast from time to time, drop by the virtual podbooth for an extended chat with Chris Hewitt. They begin by talking about their new lockdown venture, the Russo Bros. Pizza Film School, all episodes of which are available on their Instagram and YouTube channels, but we spiral off from there into their filmmaking sensibilities, where they were when they found out that Avengers: Endgame had become the biggest movie of all time, and how they're already hard at work at following that up with a ton of content from their new company, Agbo Studios. It's a fun and fascinating insight into the creative minds of two of the best directors working today. Enjoy.

0:19.9	podcast.
0:20.9	Now if you listen to this week's regular episode, you'll know that I'm trying something new

1:05.3	Yes they are the directors of some small movies we talk about very rarely on the Empire podcast,
1:11.8	but recently lockdown has inspired them to become hosts of their own film show, the Russo
1:16.6	Brothers Pizza Film School, in which they and some very special guests break down some
1:22.0	of the greatest movies ever made and Ronan only kidding I love Ronan.
1:26.6	I interviewed Joe and Anthony Fierce Squadcast just before the broadcast of their final episode
