Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast. My thanks as

always for clicking and listening along. Very excited to bring you my conversation today with

Glenn Powell, one of the brightest stars in Hollywood. He's starring in a new Richard

Linklater film that he also

co-wrote with Linklater, co-produced with Linklater, and stars in called Hitman. If you don't know

Richard Linklater, he is the acclaimed director behind Dazed and Confused, Boyhood, the trilogy

of before movies, just truly one of the most respected guys in Hollywood,

and a fellow Texan. Glenn Powell is from Texas, has always looked up to Richard Link later,

has acted in a couple of his other movies from a young age. So if you don't know a lot about

Glenn Powell, I think you're going to really enjoy this conversation. Maybe you just met him

when he played Hangman in Top Gun Maverick two years ago. That was kind of his breakout performance,

his coming out party, even though he'd been in Hollywood in supporting roles for many years

before that. Then he did the romantic comedy, Anyone But You, where he co-starred with Sidney Sweeney, which blew the doors off the place, made like $220 million at the box office last year for a romantic comedy unheard of these days.

And now he's got this project that he's really invested in as the writer and the producer and the star called Hitman.

So I'll let him explain all

of that to you. You'll get some of his backstory. If you did just meet him in Top Gun, there's a lot

more there about his long road. There's a lesson in here about hanging in there and sticking with it

and believing in yourself and taking all the wisdom from the people around you and making it

add up to something because he most

definitely is having a moment right now. A well-deserved one, too. A great guy, too, enjoyed being

around him. He brought his dog Brisket with him, a rescue dog. I guess a guy from Texas

is going to have a dog named Brisket. So I think really you're going to enjoy as much as I did spending time with Glenn Powell right now on the Sunday Sit Down podcast. Glenn, great to see you, man. Thanks for doing this. I'm pumped to be here. So should we start with SEC football and just work through every team strength and weaknesses and make our picks for the end of the season, or should we do that some other time?
