Glen Powell is in Los Angeles to do Jimmy Kimmel’s show and whatnot, so we got two different shots of him strolling to a soundstage with Brisket in a crossbody carrier. Yes, that’s right: This episode of The Summer Doldrums is called, “Glen Powell’s Dog Is Cute (And So Is He).” I like that cardigan. The whole thing is so chill and stylish, like he’s about to take everyone to a REALLY good barbecue place no one knows about, and it turns out to be his mom’s backyard.
Glen seems like a nice enough dude, and he’s definitely got swagger. I am charmed by his devotion to Brisket. He’s giving very faint Younger Brad Pitt vibes, which is great because Brad seems terrible and so it’s helpful to know we might have a Version 2.0 available.
Apparently, Glen is promoting season two of Chad Powers — that’s the Hulu series where he plays a washed-up quarterback who lies about his identity to play again. I didn’t make it through the first season because I couldn’t get past what an absurd cartoon he made Chad; if you’re disguising yourself and don’t want anyone to see through it, why would you make yourself SO TOTALLY WEIRD that it would make you notable? How does this show persist, but Stumble got cancelled?!?! I guess it’s the Glen Powell Effect. Maybe if they’d put him on Stumble, things would be different.
