Let’s not forget Glen Powell's first turn toward movie-stardom: Richard Linklater’s charming box-office bomb Everybody Wants Some!!
The recent “Glenaissance” has everyone’s sights firmly set on the box office’s latest slam-dunk Glen Powell, but let’s not forget his first turn toward movie-stardom: Richard Linklater’s very good, very charming and very rewatchable 2016 box-office bomb.
Subconsciously, my movie taste has taken shape through the lens of Linklater’s world.

For me , I knew him best as the “Long-Fingered Boy” inseems like one-in-a-million, because it happened in a movie that was a commercial failure and, if accolades are a strong measurement of anything, was a “disappointing” follow-up to the movie that should have nabbed Linklater his first-ever Best Picture Oscar. If you haven’t revisited the film since before Powell had hisblow-up, I implore you to spend an afternoon with it.
