The Scoop for May 16, 2019

If you’re worried your teenager isn’t getting enough exercise, Stranger Things could help. Or Caleb Mclaughlin from ‘Stranger Things’ any way. He’s teaming up with Planet Fitness for their youth summer program and he’s offering to help. Caleb says he’s going to be their super positive work out buddy. How? Well, Caleb points out that if you’re sitting down, that’s half a sit up. You know, he’s not wrong. I’m doing half a sit up right now.


How do you feel about movie spoilers? Well, when it comes to Avengers: Endgame, the biggest movie on the planet right now, Patton Oswalt thinks if you cared at all about this movie, you’d have seen it by now. He’s not wrong. If you haven’t seen it yet, I’m guessing you’re not going to. So I can go ahead and spoil it by telling you that Darth Maul kills Dumbledore with Batman’s help. Sorry not sorry.


Yesterday, Kelly Ripa ripped into The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.
I know I was shocked. She says it, quote “Disgusts me.” Clearly the Bachelor folks weren’t super happy. I don’t know if I’m more shocked that Kelly doesn’t like those shows, or that she and I agree on something. Weird.
