Aaron Rodgers Watches a Lot of Sci Fi Fantasy Films
On the I Can Fly podcast, Rodgers got into RFK conspiracy shit. “They killed his uncle, killed his dad,” Rodgers said. “We know the CIA was involved. I mean, they can’t declassify it because it’s so damning. We know the FBI was involved,” he said. “So Bobby loses his uncle, JFK, his father, RFK. His cousin dies in a plane crash when he was running against Hillary Clinton. I’m not saying that’s a conspiracy, but it’s kind of a weird coincidence. Bobby’s in danger. He’s putting himself on the line. Why? Because he fucking believes in this country.”
“That is, like I said earlier, the archetype of everything we love about Luke Skywalker and Han Solo,” Rodgers continued, “everything we love about Frodo and Sam and Eragon, and Gandalf, and Merry and Pip. Everything that we love about Gamora and Groot and Rocket and Drax… These people believe in something.”
I don’t know if it is a compliment to be compared to Groot.

“I’d like to be able to do it but we haven’t been able to,” Costner said of finishing out the series.
“I thought I was going to make seven [seasons] but right now we’re at five. So how it works out – I hope it does – but they’ve got a lot of different shows going on,” he said. “Maybe it will. Maybe this will circle back to me. If it does and I feel really comfortable with [it], I’d love to do it.” He also mentioned some ideas of where he’d go with the characters next. “Well, you know, he needs to be proactive in what happens and I’ve kind of had my own fantasy how it might be but that’s Taylor’s thing,” he said. “I said as much to him a while back. I had thoughts how it could happen, but we just have to see.”
You’re not the writer, thats been the problem all along.
