The Scoop for Nov. 24, 2020

The Queen’s Gambit has been seen by about 62 million people according to Netflix, so it’s a pretty big deal. But the star, Anya Taylor-Joy, doesn’t think she’s beautiful enough to be in films.
She says, quote, “I don’t think I’m beautiful enough to be in films. It sounds pathetic, but I just think I’m weird looking.”
Wait a minute. I’m weird looking, and I don’t have a Netflix movie. Someone call my agent!


Jeopardy! starts filming new episodes next week, but they will be using a series of guest hosts before deciding on a permanent host. And first up, it’s Ken Jennings. His shows will air in January.


Jaws has made it into the brand new Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
Sort of. It’s the only surviving full-scale shark model from the original “Jaws” that’s being installed. But still, pretty cool.
