If you're a paid subscriber, you've already seen this week's episode, with Chad Powers creator Michael Waldron. Apologies to the good piggies for the double email. If you're not a paid subscriber, consider the full interview segment posted here your official subscriber tease. Waldron, an old school FilmDrunk-head, if you can believe it, tells us all about taking a sort of throwaway sketch starring Eli Manning and turning it into a shockingly funny show starring Glen Powell (who also co-created). Powell plays a disgraced former college football standout who sort of accidentally restarts his career with the help of some makeup. As fun as it is to watch actors play actors, it's even funner watching an actor like Glen Powell play a character who is really bad at acting and improv. It's a joke that hits every time for me. Plus, Steve Zahn! All of which makes Chad Powers the best football show... ever? Not a lot of great competition there, so I'm willing to say it.
With the Chad Powers finale airing on Hulu next Tuesday, Waldron tells us all about the process, and also about some of his past work on Heels, Loki, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. It's Chad Powers in the Multiverse of Frotness! Please to enjoy and subscribe. Accept the trough. Become a piggy. Be free.
