The Scoop! For April 6, 2021

Helen Mirren is a beast. Or maybe a beast master, because Helen once came face to face with a bear, and dealt with it in the most Helen Mirren way possible.
She shooed it away.
Polite and hard core. That’s Helen Mirren. Also, Naughty Bear is totally my new T-Shirt.


NFL star and robot Aaron Rodgers kicked off his run as guest host of Jeopardy this week, and he got trolled by a contestant right off the bat.
During Final Jeopardy!, he wrote “Who wanted to kick that field goal?”
He was referring to the NFC Championship Game, when the Packers lost after kicking a field goal instead of going for a touchdown. But seriously, Aaron Rodgers is a robot, right? He has to be like a first generation T-1000 or something. That would make him what, like a T-100 or maybe even a T-10?


Normally I’d have a third story here, but because it’s a slow day and this is pretty awesome, the new trailer for Black Widow is out.
Really looking forward to that one.
