Glen Powell gives me hope for the future of the movie industry. He crushed the role of legendary astronaut John Glenn in “Hidden Figures,” and donned some 80s duds in Richard Linklater’s “Everybody Wants Some,” but he really grabbed my attention in the brand new Netflix rom-com “Set It Up,” where, in my humble opinion, he has crafted a classic, for-all-time, romantic lead performance opposite the incomparable Zoey Deutch. We talk about his process in general and do a deep dive into his work in “Set It Up” in particular. And by the end, I come closer to understanding why this movie works so well. Hint number one: Glen Powell.
